Just reserved an 1800x at Microcenter. Should be ready for pick up 3/2 @ 1pm.
I plan on ebaying it.

If you are speculating, you should have bought some motherboards not the CPU. There should be plenty of CPU stock for launch. The popular mobos may be hard to find.Just reserved an 1800x at Microcenter. Should be ready for pick up 3/2 @ 1pm.

Couldn't its instore pick up and they'll offer the $30 off a MB I'll get one then.If you are speculating, you should have bought some motherboards not the CPU. There should be plenty of CPU stock for launch. The popular mobos may be hard to find.
Do you guys think we will see X300 motherboards soon, and will they support 3200 MHz RAM speeds?
I have only two unkowns at this moment for my Ryzen Build: How good is Be Quiet! Dark Rock TF, and will the X300 MoBos support 3200 MHz RAM.
You're lucky - my (ancient!) Q9450 rig kicked the bucket this saturday. Dead as ... a PC that gets a 100% error rate in memtest. That's dead enough for me.I'm waiting for reviews on March 3 on the CPUs (well, we already know almost everything..) and especially on motherboards. Then I'll pull the trigger sometime mid August around my birthday (gotta get a gift, right? ) after the AM4 platform itself is more refined and motherboards get a few BIOS updates. That is, if my 2500k rig doesn't die before that, after 5.5 years of 24/7 use... It should endure some more months without problems... should...
What is your budget and case/motherboard CPU cooler clearance, and do you have any preferences in terms of air/water?What cooler should i buy for my 1800X?

Given that your case is made specifically for water cooling it would almost be a shame not to build a custom loop. Or at the very least kit out both CPU and GPU with dueling AIOs. But if that sounds like too much of a hassle, I'd go for the Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4. You'll have to look hard for a more quiet cooler, and it's still among the absolute highest performing coolers out there. Beats most AIO water coolers in terms of both noise and temps. It fits in your case just fine, even though it's huge. That's what makes it good, though.Fractal define S

I like silent but effective cooler.

I foresee many "accidents" will happen to Sandy Bridge systems in the week following the Zen official launch. Hard luck!That is, if my 2500k rig doesn't die before that, after 5.5 years of 24/7 use... It should endure some more months without problems... should...

And now I find out the 6-cores aren't launching yet. I am incredibly torn on what to do now. Wait it out? Convince my girlfriend to buy the CPU+mobo for her planned editing rig and lend it to me for a couple of months? I guess if reviews are good and the 1700 OCs to 1800x stock levels, I could move up two cores. Though that 65W TDP makes me wary.

They sure are, and I was mostly thinking about noticing all the small defects and quirks of old age tech, things that only become a "problem" once a compelling alternative presents itself (either Zen or whatever Intel responds with).LOL, yeah. People shouldn't be mean to their good old Sandy systems, they're legendary!
Not just SB but SB-E systems. I have a 3930k that I was thinking about gearing up for an upgrade. But Intel hasn't made the barrier in these 5 years any easier to get past 6c. So I was still going to have to spend nearly 1k if I wanted to get 8c. So now instead of looking at a refresh of my current computer, I am probably just going to build a whole new one cheaper. Do a NVME Raid 0 setup, 8c16t, less push to get 64GB of ram. Probably will wait till July and see how the whole roadmap is going to look and let the coolers catch up to AM4.I foresee many "accidents" will happen to Sandy Bridge systems in the week following the Zen official launch.

april is only 5 weeks awayRyzen 5 is only arriving in Q2 unfortunately.
I think this is actually my first AMD build in over a decade. You can build a Ryzen-based system for the cost a 6900K.
