Tbh is it really that critical? From my understanding some other manufacturers are mitigating the issue by removing support for older APUs to make way for Ryzen 3000 series.

Other B450 boards have Ryzen 3000 bios or not? Don't want to buy liao still need to send in for bios update

Yeah... was my initial thought as well. Already waited for 8 years liao so three months doesn't seem very long. Just that now holiday period( still in uni) more free so want to get it done now plus hand a bit itchy for new toys. November exam period haha.

Will call PC themes this weekend see got stock or not I guess. Do you recommend waiting for Prism+ 11.11 promo or should I get the F270i Pro now?

Removing support from older APUs, downgrading the GUI, removing RAID etc are some of the possibilities.

It's not critical in that older B450 boards can still be used with some features cut. OTOH the MAX boards are at the same price as the boards they replace.

Games put in SSD only loading faster right? I still my HDD and I usually will uninstall the game once I am done with it.

Singapore and Hong Kong are already the first to receive tomahawk max. Just today, UK and Germany retailers started selling too. Other countries, including US, don't even have them.

And these are only talking about tomahawk max. The rest of the maxes (x470, b450m) are still an enigma

Got the info too late lol. Would have gotten a set if I knew earlier.

Currently my build looks like this.

i5-2500K
8GB RAM
Nvidia 1070Ti(got it during Lazada sale last year)
512 GB Sata 2.5" SSD
23" 1080p 60Hz monitor

Still running well for my usage I guess but I have the urge to upgrade now(hand itchy). Mainly getting a new CPU, Motherboard, RAM, SSD and maybe a new monitor. Hopefully everything within $1000.

Seems like AMD just released the Ryzen 3000 series. Looks good but is it good for value now? Especially when the demand is jacking the price up. Also, it seems that there's a couple of different chipset for the motherboard. Should I just get the B450. What are main features I will be missing out from the X470?

Heard that RAM speed is pretty important now so what is the standard speed now? 3000mhz?

Lastly, how is the Prism+ monitors? Seems pretty good in terms of price but I am not sure about it's performance and reliability. Want to get a higher refresh rate monitor since I like FPS games. Mainly looking for a 27" 144hz 1080p panel.

Not in a hurry now so I think can wait for a good deal or for the price to drop when the demand falls a bit.

if you haven't buy, consider AMD ba
