I'm bored of Skylake X, I want me some Coffee Lake 6C 14nm++ goodness.

TR won't be winning any game benchmarks, that's for sure.I may eat my words, but the upcoming Threadripper will be great at workstation loads (will beat many Intel processors) and probably not very good at gaming (not bad, mind you, but not a 7740k killer either).

Temperatures of the connector pins never got near 40°C. Voltage only dropped .22V despite having only three 20 AWG wires going to a four pin EPS12V. With that said, I go back on what I said and will say that I would GLADLY use this PSU's, or any PSU's, EPS12V connector to push 300W of power.
I don't doubt the guy believes his results... but something is wrong with either a piece of his kit or his thermometer.

Just one set of limited results, but the mesh/L3/RAM memory latency impact is huge for Skylake X.

Don't know about that, it sure seems like a sample of one was enough to put der8auer in the FUD section.And that, my dear friends, is why a sample size of one isn't enough to make any reliable conclusions.
Yea, but it gets him a lot of clicks. It is the old fart in me I guess, but I always take youtube videos with a large grain of salt.Wow, so basically der8auer spread a lot of FUD for no reason.

It's clear that the beast needs to be fed better. Hopefully, with the 14nm++ refresh (Cascade Lake) Intel ships these things with faster L3 cache and higher out-of-the-box memory speed support.

Do you think Intel will stay with current cache size models or go back to < L2 & > L3? Can they even go back with the mesh architecture?
I'm sure the L2 and L3 will be tweaked. The mesh is staying though, it's got to be a prerequisite for EMIB.

Er, I'm sure the reason Caseking.de (and overclockers.co.uk which is also owned by Caseking but has 8pack instead of der8auer) employ these top overclockers is so that they can sell more stuff and especially their picked overclock bundles. And Skylake-X is a high priced item which is exactly what they like to sell there.Yea, but it gets him a lot of clicks.

I don't know about FUD, but he just lost allot of credibility, IMO.
I agree. I understand there is a lot of pent up Intel hatred but I have to wonder how much AMD is paying him.
Wait, the PSU can cause high temps on its connectors and cables if they are too thin or too little wires/bad connectors. But how could the PSU cause higher VRM (voltage regulators on the board) temps?
If the connectors and wires are hot, that means there's power being dissipated over the cable and voltage is dropping across it. If the voltage drop is significant, the VRMs will need to pull more current to sustain its output voltage.
So the question now is why is der8auer's cable so hot when other people don't see the issue.
Why do you think no one been able to replicate his results?Again, that can't increase temperature of his onboard VRM significantly. The cable was a separate problem, caused likely by the fancy PSU having some silly special connectors to look pretty.
The VRMs overheating is a different issue, and could have only been caused by inadequate cooling or too high power losses, IMHO. At 300W CPU consumption, it is not weird for those small heatsinks that don't have proper fins to be inadequate.
