1400€ for a motherboard for a desktop gamer platform what a joke. That used to be the entire cost of a high end gaming system not that long ago.

[HoLDoNSec]

dude even the X299 motherboards when they were still a relevant high end HEDT platform did not cost 1400 euros.
this is just absolutely insane...

[AndyPro]

400-600$ CPU and 800-1400$ MB... something is wrong here xD

[DesignsByIFR]

Thank you for talking about pricing, i mentioned how out of control pricing was becoming recently which is really contributing to this dying industry at the moment. Consumers can no longer afford the newer hardware especially with how expensive cost of living is, so we seem to be seeing a trend of 2nd hand market being the only option or settling for the lower end gear on offer.

It saddens me because my industry which is primarily water cooling is really dying out, people cannot afford the PC parts and if they can they certainly cannot afford to water cool their parts.

I hate all of the greed involved by companies, it saddens me so much that something i care for can be taken away so easily by greed.

I hope things get better.

Ok, but lack of cats elevating anxiety levels brutally

[Quetzalcoatl]

ASUS has seen the price jumps of Nvidia GPUs and wants a piece of the action.

[yugi]

der8auer: Asus what the hell with the pricing ?
Asus: we love money

[tomppeli.]

Who the hell is buying all those expensive motherboards for the vendors to keep offering them?

[pibyte]

"1.400 EUR for a motherboard?"

*Wendell laughs and gets his wallet out*

[jaredjurassic]

Even the highest end WRX90 Threadripper workstation boards are half that, offering dramatically more features and capability than that Extreme...

[Jjanssoni]

Motherboard prices are just going nuts... It was nice to have nice looking mobo back in the day when you could get premium mobo for 300€-400€ but now you can get entry level for almost same

[Vladek]

a while ago we passed the point where high-end and ultra high-end motherboard became more expensive than the best CPU you can put in it
but now we're passing the point where the motherboard cost as much a the 2nd most powerfull GPU on the market...

[lightmanek]

Part of this insane motherboard pricing is the new and short lived socket. I bet manufacturers are projecting lower sales numbers and try to recoup production setup costs across lower total number of boards they will sell. Still, $1400 is an overkill!! Take ASUS WRX-90 board for Threadripper, PCIe5, tons of x16 slots, tons of memory slots, tons of 10Gbe and all the bling you want for just $1000, bargain!

[konga]

I am fairly certain that the "quad channel" support you talk about here was already taken advantage of in LGA 1700 and AM5 systems. It's a core part of the DDR5 spec and not an optional feature. I distinctly remember AMD causing confusion because they claimed that Ryzen 7000 supports quad channel memory on some slides when they were just referring to this feature of DDR5.

[diego]

I was hoping that we were finally getting decent memory bandwidth in x86 desktops, but apparently it is just a minor implementation detail that you decided to use as clickbait. Good job, you got me.

[Krimarai]

Oh wow, 7800X3D (9800X3D) and X670E (X870E) will cost less than that. At least 400 EUR less.

[stefannilsson]

Dang... I think my Asus W790 Ace was like 1000$. And it has 8 memory slots / 4 channels, with 5 PCIE 16x slots that have 64 gen 5 PCIE lanes wired to them.

[DarioCastellarin]

So, re-timers made it to RAM too.

They have been a thing for a while in servers, but they're mostly used on PCIe.

[Redswipe]

I paid £258 for my Maximus XI Hero Z390 5 years ago. It's insane how much motherboard prices have rocketed.

[ADB-zfzr]

Didn't the Ryzen 7000 series already do this 2x32 per DIMM from the start, which is why some people were initially confused as they thought it was "quad channel" RAM.!?!?
