Does it include damage to the AIO
Does it include damage to the AIO
You may be joking but i'm pretty sure it was my FX 9590 that killed my AIO after 6 months, the pump gave out, probably boiled to death. The 10900K uses way more power than that did.
I got shot of the CPU shortly after that...
Dunno why you even got it in the first place, that cpu was a furnace, and a pretty crap performer.
I won it back when AMD streamed regularly on Twitch and gave stuff away. its was a Furness. it was ridiculous, i don't understand how these Skylake-X people put up with their CPU's drawing two times and more power, it was hell in summer.... it turned my lounge into a sauna.
Makes sense they would have to give it away
lol...
I am not joking. The 6700K at 5Ghz killed the H50
But the Z170 Formula OC had a very stable selection to make it so, regardless how much it was pushing to it

lol... good overclock that tho for a 6700K.

do you think the lack of leaked data is as the consumers are still trying to work out how to overcool the processor?
I think intel is smart enough to release a processor that will run fine with simple air cooling.

Yes but i bet it won't hit peaks, and run to its potential without complex cooling or high end airs or AIOs
B&H in the U.S already started sending out pre orders 2 or 3 days ago lol
Well yeah, it's called thermal throttling

So have they officially dropped ECC support from the I3 in this gen?

) has never officially supported I3 as far as i know.If you mean ECC ram, why the hell would you want or need it on a desktop PC. If you need ECC, then workstation or HEDT would be the platform of choice.

Ha - typo corrected!
I3 has been a decent cheapish choice for Freenas boxes in previous gens, I'm using a lowly Pentium at the mo but really need a bit more omphf
There is no need to clock ram on a NAS to begin with. Just run it at stock and it will be as safe as a Chinese internal security safe house.
I don't think very many people outside these forums and enthusiast circles ever upgrade their CPU without a platform/Mobo change. I can see the logic of buying X570 and 3600 when they launched to then go for 4950 for example but I think vanishingly few people in the real world ever do this. GPUs yes, CPUs No! The whole process is much more convoluted (TIM, disassembly etc) than a GPU upgrade and intimidates people far more. Therefore while a Mobo/Manufacturer ensuring future socket/CPU compatibility is great I believe the numbers who do it are similar to those that run SLI or bother to overclock. I've NEVER (OK I once bought a 5650 to drop into 920 Nehalem X58 socket but couldn't be arsed to complete the bios upgrade etc) done it in over 20 years of self building (I may have done it also with Athlon/Venice/Barton but genuinely can't remember) because usually within a year or three PC's have moved on a lot in other respects.Intel owners have to buy a new motherboard every year, so perhaps it's no surprise they don't care what happens in future years
In fact I'd go further and say it's way less than those on SLI or overclocking. I've been an overclocker and SLI man since 3DFX SLI but almost never a CPU upgrader.
