I've had to RMA Asus mainboards 3 times over the last 20 years or so. It's NEVER pleasant, and they are always slow and wanting to fight with you, but I have managed to get a working replacement every time I had to. Every brand will sell you a...
Everything I buy from most any manufacturer I treat as disposable sadly due to things like this. For quite some time I have been just getting things used and the price is good enough to never worry about a warranty claim - just replace it. When I...
So like IDK the kind of guidelines that should be there at launch!? This seems so completely obvious and expected for any CPU release does it not?

Yeah, I priced it out and with my motherboard of choice the 7800X3D bundle was about $50 less expensive than this 7900X3D with the same board from Newegg (Microcenter board price was about $60 more expensive, eating a lot of the savings). I'll...
And returns. I was in the return window on my 14th gen and let the retailer deal with Intel or their distributor. How many will be resold through those channels?
Still waiting for Intel. Trust is pretty much gone at this point but May just...
It does work indeed if you place a 7800x3d,AM5 board and a ddr5 kit in your cart. Shows 196.66 for the 7800x3d.
I really don’t have time for a new PC right now but…
Assuming the i9 buyers are not too numerous compared to the sub $400 cpu crowd. I wonder how many RMA requests Intel is getting over this. Even 10 or 20% of halo buying customers wanting a replacement would be incredibly bad.
Starting to organize and offload items that are left after some system switching, upgrades, lab changes etc.

I hear that. Not been much of a laptop gamer myself, but was surprised by a work/gaming combo midrange laptop I bought. 16" 240hz IPS gsync screen with 500nits+, I7-13700HX/RTX 4070 gpu (Lenovo Legion Pro 5i). A bit noisy in performance profile...
I got in to the hobby just around the 300a era but never had one myself. To echo what others have said Intel is quite clearly running these on the red line and the board partners extra push baked into default bios settings is making things worse...
I've been overclocking since the Celeron 300a days, possibly earlier if you consider I have a Commodore Amiga running an overclocked 68030 25MHz @ 40MHz. I've never encountered any degradation as a result of overclocking in all the years I've...
I don’t have a dog in this fight but people on this very forum have degraded and killed CPUs with manual overlocks. I’ve only killed one myself. RIP Athlon 2500XP…
Anyway my thinking is to save face Intel should replace all the CPUs from...
Seems fair but I’m interested in seeing people’s RMA experience with these. How does Intel sort put the possible damaged CPUs from bad mobo auto settings from those who just overclocked the piss out of their CPUs. For example benchmarking for...
Long watch but some good info. Now if he’d just hang back on the personal opinions it would seem like more accurate journalism. They did a lot of research for this video. Good watch
