What motherboard for 9800x3d and RTX5080

Product are duty bound to last a certain amount of time. If the manufacturer has sold a product designed to fail in three years then...

Love it, I’m going to try that next time a project is heading over budget..

Hey plebs, build cheap things, it’s your duty!

C) start overcharging just because people equate expensive product is high quality.

What is the difference in motherboard quality from now £400 to 10 years ago £100

Nothing except Nvidia like Tax ;)
 
Still sat here with my z100 kabylake motherboard that was the cheapest in the range back then. How would buying a board at double the price have benefited me?

Option C, an interesting choice.

Can you explain why cost isn’t a significant factor in engineering?

Do you honestly think a £500 motherboard has any better quality than one at £150?

Do you have any knowledge of electronic components?

Basically they know people are willing to spend that amount and sell it for that.

The extra cost between the two boards is negligible.

You're marketing man's dream lol.

You’re conflating deliberate obsolescence through sales and marketing with engineering/technology.

I have an engineering background. Yes, I could build you a significantly better thing for 3x the cost. Shocker I know…

Shocker cost of production and actual retail price has no correlation.

Just a bigger markup that's all. They know people are gullible to spend £500 on a motherbosrd just because it has an extra £30 in extra cost.

You've not understood my post as you are on one. If you don't need features from the more expensive then why buy? Just because it costs 3 times as much doesn't mean it's remotely any better for a use case.

I’ve explained why I’ll pay more, its not me that doesn’t understand.

I generally go highend now AMD offer multiple CPU generations and motherboards are no longer a throwaway item every generation or two.

Why do you think the more expensive board will last longer?

More copper, better components and probably a lot less bean counting.
