AMD claims over 100 boards support Ryzen 3000 series, but that includes all 300 and 400 chipset series boards…
They specifically said over 56 new boards with 500 chipsets …

Guessing a lot of OEM boards are included in that
I know, but the Threadripper is such a pain to build with. It is quite easy to misalign it when the Threadripper isn’t properly seated in its socket there will be all kinds of issues that need to be fixed, at least that is what I have heard. I rather get a Ryzen 16 core then have to deal with the issues the Threadripper would have.
Had zero issues with putting my 1950x in the socket 1st time.
@SoulFallen do you build enough TR rigs to know how prevalent putting the cpu in the socket is an actual issue still? Was it just new process / early boards?

And the old boards with bios updates.
Honestly i could care less about number need like 3 boards at each size and thats it (Low medium and High tier)
With my rotten luck, If I try to build a Threadripper build, I would bend the pins and there goes 700 to 1500 dollars down the drain.
mobos arent that expensive (remember its LGA not PGA)
I was talking about the pins on the bottom of the Threadripper not anything on the motherboard.
there are no pins on the bottom of TR its LGA not PGA

Sounds good.
Based on what is known on the Gigabyte X570 Master board being pretty interesting.
Curious to see what the rest does.
See the fact there wasn’t any pins on the bottom of the Treadripper should prove I have no business build one.

Lots of focus on Ryzen cores and TDP.
What about da lanes, da lanes!
This will take a bite out of Threadripper.
na small cross section imo
Still 2 channel memory and less lanes
Yeah those Msi boards also look pretty promising.
Atleast the X570 MEG Godlike, X570, MEG Creation and MEG Ace,
are looking interesting to me aswell.
The X570 Gaming pro carbon slightly disappointing in terms of likely used Onsemi mosfets.
But of course that will be a mid range board aimed towards Ryzen R5 sku’s.
So yeah looking forward to see the new boards and vrm info coming. 
OMG real VRM coolers
Rip mATX (no love ever)
