Nice incremental update, but since I already have a Ryzen 7 1700 on an Asrock X370 Taichi and it's been wonderful, I'll take a pass. If I hadn't already upgraded from my FX-6100, though, it would be worth looking into this one. As it stands, already having the 1700, I'd move up to a Threadripper if I could afford to upgrade, since a new motherboard would be needed anyway.
- RussianCow 9y ago> since a new motherboard would be needed anyway. Minor correction: The Ryzen 2000 series uses the same socket, so you can use the same motherboard, although AMD claims that the newer X470 chipset will give you better performance. Either way, I agree with your assessment: It doesn't seem worth it to upgrade if you already have a Ryzen 7.
- dogma1138 9y agoThe x470 and 370 chipsets are identical it’s a rebrand. They changed some of the power delivery requirements to match the higher TDP of some of CPUs and apparently not all previously made boards were upto snuff or at least that is the party line.
