In other news... So apperently, the VRM heatsinks on the x299 platform are beyond horrible
God the more I hear about x299, the more I am glad that I went with Ryzen instead of waiting. You know, it's kinda funny. When Amd announced Zen, most people including me really thought, well, whats the worst they could do? At best, their IPC will be with Haswell/Broadwell, their 8 cores would probably be around the price range of 6900k with $100-$300 off and Intel probably has something in the works that will stop the hype train anyway.
Instead what we got is Amd having zomg worthy price with really good performance across the board and intel not only taking the shit but eating it too. How can a company that has been so dominant keep goofing this hard? They had time to prepare for Ryzen and this is what they came up with? Jesus Christ... From Bad marketing, to high tdp, to high temps, to wtf decisions like putting fucking quad core i5s and i7s on their HEDT platform to now shit vrm heatsinks. Granted vrm heatsinks is probably more of a manufacture issue but how the shit does all manufacture have similar vrm cooling issue on x299? He tested top of the line x299 boards from every manufacturer and they all had a similar problem! Like wtf?
Can't believe I am saying this after the FX line but thank god I went Amd. I really hope when Intel's next gen consumer line comes out, they get their act together cause this is just facepalm worthy.
