tempted to replace my 1800x with the 1920x... I currently use the kraken N62 and apparently NZXT has said this will be compatible with threadripper an AMD will supply the adaptor... but im wondering how it will work with such a big CPU

We need an "AMD reacts" clip posted to youtube. I bet they were cringing about that, perhaps more so than I was
I fairness they were probably happy to see video proof of somebody with no clue what they were doing and no inclination to read the instructions still failing to do it wrong. This is probably the most user friendly CPU socket since the Slot 1/A era.We need an "AMD reacts" clip posted to youtube. I bet they were cringing about that, perhaps more so than I was

Fine about not reading the instructions but if you can't even handle chips properly, you need to read the instructions
. Fingers on underside of CPU, packaging and especially the metal retaining clip placed on the mobo. Yikes. Probably done no harm but blimmin' heck

How do people like that even deserve to get sent a TR pack >_<

Good grief how hard can it be?
Soldato
I know. The video is painful to watch
To him? Very. And he was proud not reading instructions!!!!!
The best part are the comments under the video. All the money
response to the above

Linus & Alienware are apparently allowed to post things about Threadripper before others.

Btw given the platform money, maybe I will wait for OCUK to see if they make a full proper custom watercooled pc and buy it. With Liquid vega under water block also.
Assuming they can have something like the for sale by 4th to be delivered for my bday on the 5th of Sept
you know the funny thing is people worship half of the youtube people and its not even them that set up the machines and such for the videos linus and such lol.the guy in the 16k video is who does all linus machines and tech stuff.

As understatements go...
Cronie has an Alienware laptop & tower. I cringed when he first told me.

Linus has done hundreds of videos himself but at the level he's at now it makes more sense to employ people to do it, he would have zero time to himself pumping out the content he does if he had to do the whole process on his own, he still knows what he's talking about for the PC hardware most of us use and has remained pretty unbiased throughout his time as far as I'm aware.
I thought that...
You would've thought that for such a important release in current times you'd make an effort to read up on what you need to do... I am impressed by the effort AMD put into the packages they sent out to these people though. Including the little paperweights with the customer/tester name on. My god only a mother could love him.......Linus & Alienware are apparently allowed to post things about Threadripper before others.

On a serious note he has a point, 4K USD for something that runs so hot and is pretty bare is taking the biscuit.

I really don't see why anyone would buy an alienware, especially when there are so many nice boutique builders. Hell, if you want a well known name, even the HP and Dell (yeah I know a Dell own alienware) gaming machines are fairly good these days.
