Yep, these are unlocked chips meant for enthusiasts.That doesnt really explain it though. The boards should obviously be designed to handle overclocking as well.

They are factory-OCed! A new Intel feature!
Will likely be evening time.
I am having trouble with some of these X299 motherboards. I've bought a wide variety for this launch, and none of them are really handling the load of an overclocked 7900X as well as I'd expect. VRM temps through the roof and boards throttling.

This is Silicon Lottery:
It's not an isolated issue, even if it's a multifaceted one.
Due to requiring so much power to achieve the high clocks.What the... So overclocking the chip is hard due the hot chipset? So... OEMs and Intel made an analogue of the chipset of the Snapdragon 810?
I ordered an Asus TUF Mk1 which has an 8 pin + 4 pin power connector - do you guys think that is enough for the 8C 7820 and a light OC to maybe 4.5 on all cores instead of just turbo 3.0?
UF Features:
TUF ENGINE! Power Design :
- 8 +2 Digital Phase Power Design
- TUF Components (Choke, Cap. & MOSFET; certified by military-standard)
1 x 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector(s)
1 x 4-pin ATX 12V Power connector(s)
Okay, so that's two (2!!!!) people world wide having issues at the time of writing, and how many people currently have the platform...? This is typically what's wrong with the internet; 1 bad things gets out and it grows exponentially within mere hours and there's almost no coming back from it. So, I made my post above with the three links and I am going to leave it at that (and remember, I am not and will not be on the platform so I have no horse in this race) because I really do not feel like 'taking on' the entire internet that latches on and consumes any bad thread they can find. So...coffee refill!
Congrats on your purchase: posting a few setup pics is now required (the same goes for you @Edrick)
You'll only need the 8-pin CPU connector for anything at least up to the 10C + OC (the others we don't know because they aren't out yet).
Thanks! Will it hurt anything to use both power connectors? I'd rather the power be available just in case.
CPU is in stock but still waiting on the mobo. I also wouldn't mind your opinion on an 850W or 1000W Power Supply (EVGA SuperNOVA G3 for sure - but it's a SuperFlower so I am trying to figure out if it has the same issue as der8auer) for the following:
7820K w/ mild OC to 4.5-4.6 on all cores if I am lucky
ASUS TUF Mk1
Nvidia TITAN X (Maxwell 250W)
32GB RAM (Probably 3000-3200 Mhz)
Samsung 960 Pro 512GB
Samsung 850 256 GB
4X HDD
Noctua NH-D15
3X Corsair ML 140 Pro case fans
The only thing that will seriously chap my ass is if Intel releases soldered versions or if mobo manufacturers revise existing Mobo's for better VRMs. Not sure what the chances of those are.
It doesn't hurt to use both cables. The second one is there for e.g. those doing extreme LN2 OC'ing and in need of loads more power.
Hmm 850W should be fine but having a 1000W overkill PSU can't hurt either; just pick whichever feels right to you and is the cheapest maybe? I'd take the 850W if it were me. I also believe you will be fine with EVGA's models, 'despite' them being SF PSUs.
Thanks. There is a hefty price bump from 850 to 1000, but I will pay the difference if it's warranted. I guess I can run a stress test and exchange it if necessary - my UPS tells me what the power draw from the wall is so if it's anywhere near 800W during a benchmark I might opt for the 1000W.
If your current setup, with a single GPU, draws anything close to 800W I'll eat glass.
One thing tempting me to the 1000W unit was Johnny Guru's ridiculously positive review :

His 850W review is very positive too, but he can't seem to be able to get over how good that 1000W is haha.
My other thought was that it might run fanless more often if I'm not even coming close to maxing it out.
My current system (i7 3770K OC'd to 4.4 and same rest of the previously mentioned specs except 16GB RAM and no M2 SSD) pulls 400+W from the wall while gaming if I recall correctly.
I know your a beginner so I'd advise you google the Pentium 4 emergency edition!
There are definitely power issues with the X299 platform. Either with the inadequate VRM specs to 8-pin power delivery to power consumption.
Intel charges a higher premium for their products. If I'm going to pay the higher price for their products then yes, I am going to hold them more accountable for F-ups. Especially with their market dominance.
