One of Intel's terribly bad platforms in terms of just about everything!
- You'd think that high end CPU's get soldered at least. Oh wait, that's a no, we'll continue with the cheap colgate TIM instead. 2nd in class in terms of quality, which is a shame. Looks like its too much to ask to reach into their bottomless pit of cash and at least build some quality products. Pitiful....
- 10core and higher chips are mini nuclear power plants. Just throw a quick Prime95 test and watch em melt and throttle at 90-100C.
- You get what 44 PCI lanes in comparison to TR's 64? You pay more for their platforms, but you get less. That's a no, followed by another no.
- You pay another $100 for raid keys? Are you KIDDING me??? While AMD offers theirs for free!
- Lowest i5 and 7740X make no sense to even exist on a HEDT platform. O M G...
- Requires top of the line water cooling, escalating unnecessary costs just to deal with the hideous thermals.
The list goes on and on and on. And I'm starting to get a headache... There's good reason why Amazon is listing the TR1950X outselling any of Intel's HEDT parts. It just makes far more sense.
