You're right I didn't read any of the previous posts since Ryzen and memory compatibility seems to have around 1 billions different problems.
Nice to see that MSI is advertising 2933Mhz for the ram, yet its unlikely to even get 2667 MHz.
Been reading more about the Ryzen issues and I am amazed at the hype for Ryzen CPU's. For a product that has so many memory issues, it comes across as being pretty poor IMO. I guess you get what you pay for. Lesson learned for next time.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated it.
I won't deny it, Ryzen has been an absolute

show. On the surface, yes, AMD and everyone else (fan boys especially) make it out to be the best thing since sliced bread. And it is actually GOOD. But there are many issues. And many problems that many users just don't understand, or don't want to understand.
Personally, I enjoy my Ryzen system. It's only a 1500X, but it's only a bit slower than my older 4770K. I'm sure the 1700x or 1800x would be much better. And then there's the even new Threadripper, which I'm sure would mop the floor with the 4770k.
Personally, if I was in the market for a new PC (I'm not.....not really), I'd probably be looking at a Threadripper. I recently just got a Z270 Gaming M7 and a X299 Gaming Carbon ACK....and I have no interest in making the X299 system. I'm considering the Z270 (with a 7700K, maybe, if I can find one at a decent price), but I'm now getting to the point where I just have no interest in games and I really don't need the power or performance anymore.
All that being said, I think Ryzen does one thing. It provides a much, MUCH better performance for price value than Intel does, or will, in the near future. It's what the market needed to innovate further (lets face it, we've had quad core, 8 thread CPU's for what? 5 years now?

?). The question really becomes, how does Intel react? And can AMD iron out all the problems with Ryzen/Threadripper, and get Ryzen2/TR2 right in another 2 years? That's really what is on people's minds....
