INTEL BRING THE BIG GUNS!

He works for Caseking, the people who own OCUK, for all intents and purposes he is, and did target the manufacturers directly, asking them to fix the VRM cooling solution, he was not trying to create drama, just stop customer backlash.

No idea why my previous quote didn't pick up your whole post.

I wasn't targeting your prime comment to be fair, only whats seems like complete denial or that it was irrelevant to everyone since who uses AVX/2/512? The use of vector operations may be very important to some people, and I am sure many more programs will be using it more extensively as the CPU's with AVX capabilities are now more widespread.

Anyhow, yes we know - you don't care, but this forum is read by people that may care, and find it informative and relevant to their purchases and builds.

The current draw is what it is. If you want to overclock and your workload consists of AVX2/512 then concessions need to be made, with or without revised VRM cooling. Intel themselves acknowledge this with the introduction of AVX offset. If you truly want to pull 350W through the die just to make sure "you can", then that's the users prerogative.

Truth be told it wasn't so much him calling the vendors out, more so him working with the vendor at that particular time.
 
7900X is working perfectly 4.3-4.4 AVX512 loads with 3.1-3.2 cache and 4K mems easy enough for all AVX512 tasks.

Apex ocf and rampage xtreme can run this all day..

It's very safe to delid with the correct equipment. No problems at all.

And then your cpu goes faulty a week later and want to claim under the warranty....................

I could stomach delidding a 250gbp 4770k (and I did just that) and risking having to write of the investment due to invalidating the warranty, but 1700gbp..............
 
Mines an ES, so no loss. The way I see it, it was never mine to begin with - so I'd simply buy one and put it down to misadventure lol. You'd be extremely unlucky for the CPU to become faulty post delid, unless you did something fundamentally wrong.

I've never had an Intel CPU failure outside of misadventure.
 
Those that are likely to spend £1700 on a cpu are not short of a bob or 2, if you want "the best" then that's the way it is and you take that risk. Can't say I'd shed a tear but then again if they had any sense they would just claim off the house insurance or something.

Very impressive if true but I remain skeptical for the time being.
