Ah, I see. I was thinking I could get away with using one of the louqe risers I have but if that's not the case, then I'll deal with being at gen 3 😅

Just put my order in. Can't wait for it to arrive! Can't wait to attempt to plan some sort of watercooling too 😄 EDIT: Entirely forgot to ask and frankly it's likely been asked prior, but, I'm assuming it's not possible to request to not get a riser? I already have two PCIe 4.0 risers, I don't...

Aw c'mon... Maybe if they saw this thread they'd expedite the launch a little? One can hope...

Sucks that the 8300G is OEM/SI only. Wonder if there'll be one selling a Deskmini X600 with said CPU.

Oh, this is perfect. I've been getting by with a modified FTZ01e such that the card can face outwards, but this does it perfectly. Can't wait for it to release. Gonna see if I can cram watercooling into it too ;)

Ryzen CPUs are SoCs. They have enough I/O to 'function' as the chipset and CPU at the same time.

It's too small and chipsets are almost always custom pieces of silicone on packages or whatever words are used. What you've circled is most likely just some chip for supporting circuitry.

There will be a different PCB used for the Navi APUs coming later in the year, or so I've heard. And overall, the supposed R5 3600X system was drawing less power than the 9900k system during the run, don't forget that, and when the 9900k was allowed to run stock without any limitations.

In theory it'd be possible to try Crossfire on the board because it has two Ultra M.2 slots :P

Watch it be almost exactly the same PCB as Vega 56/64, with the e-peen extender on the end of it.

They'll try with an air cooler first. Maybe Powercolor will migrate the existing vega nano cooler design over? I wouldn't count on that though.

Not going to happen for a while imo. 3840 shaders to cool, though at 7nm which is nice.

I'm buying that motherboard as soon as possible. And maybe an Athlon 200GE, it's enough for my needs :P The two M.2 NVMe slots are extremely useful :P Wait... Does this mean that crossfire is now possible?

Afaik the A300 chipset is actually just the CPU’s built in ‘chipset’ of sorts, allowing much more space on the board considering they don’t need an extra BGA package sitting there now.

Right, so, list of things to get: A graphics card that fits The 400W AC-DC and DC-DC combo thing A new CPU cooler That seems to be about it. You would've thought that I'd have had these things already, but no :P
