Jennice 19 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 For me and friends, Gigabyte boards have always died before Asus. Asus on Intel have never failed me. That's why I prefer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 How curious! It's the opposite for me, and ASUS are known for failing. I've only ever had three. Two were DOA and the third failed later. I've lost count of how many gigabyte boards I've had, and they've all been perfect. It must be regional manufacturing weirdness. At one point, ASUS had a 50% failure rate. Although that was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennice 19 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Is it correctly unserstood that this one will support the Ryzen 1700? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-A320M-E/specifications/ It says up to 8 cores supported if I read correctly. The on board graphics socket is probably just not used for Ryzen 1700, so I expect any cheap PCIe board can show the web interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yeah it has the right socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennice 19 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I noticed the MB says it's limited to 8 cores. ( https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-A320M-E/specifications/ ) Do we have AMD users here who can tell me which chipset I would need, if I wanted the option of expanding to >8 cores later, yet starting with an Ryzen 1700?

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 All Ryzen cpu's use the AM4 socket type - so any board with that will work with ryzen 3,5,7 - its limited to 8 as thats the max on Ryzen at the moment. TR4 is for Threadripper CPU's and potentially Epyc cpu although thats not confirm yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
