Saying 'I hope not' is not jumping any gun at all.Meaning you jumped the gun and took it out of context, no one mentioned sending anything back, just annoyance at new updates and retests.

It looks like AMD is issuing last minute BIOS updates to fix issues relating to memory performance (maybe latency or other issues). I feel for the reviewers having to redo their tests in the last minute. Not the best approach from AMD. AMD should have fixed their firmware issues earlier or maybe pushed their launch date a couple of weeks. The PC community has waited for 5 years for competition, so whats another 2 weeks.
Those look more like two solder pads that haven't soldered themselves together in the middle.
I don't see two dies, looking at the underfill.
Eh, dunno, die looked intact, and i trust Roman to distinguish cracked die from intact one after 2 failed attempts.I think it's more likely somebody cracked the die ;-)

Amd is moving at an extreme pace now.AMD wants to get out of the gate as soon as possible. They know that intel is going to work hard again.

There is tons of passion and a sense of alertness at the same time. A creative burning platform. A result from beeing nearly extint, getting new competent and passioned management, and beeing time constrained because time to market matters a lot when there is not unlimited funds.
Its not toyota product we get but so what?
My kd ratio in bf1 sucks but i win. I hate snipers and campers and love when people push w and take out the tanks.
I expect and demand much in the next years.
Very likely reviewers are being told to test with 3200 CL14 memory instead of the provided 3000 kits.
Not bad news as much as early adoption mess.
Yah, those poor tech reviewers and all their free hardware.

Didn't x99 have their own issues that required progressive bios updates, especially for ram? I'm sure the same is going on for AMD. A lot of work involved in a new uArch and platform for sure.
Hmm a new "cheat" BIOS popped up on "others" OS selection (FR) page for Crosshair VI.
https://www.asus.com/fr/Motherboards/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO/HelpDesk_Download/
CPC HW calls it a "cheat" BIOS for some reason. It is supplied at the last minute by Asus and AMD. Likely rYzes the scores hence CPC calls it "cheat". They are so salty it is crazy
edit: Performance bias option
But, as someone who picked up 3000cl14 on sale two weeks ago, that makes me nervous. Something wrong with 3000?
[Although, looking at cl14 RAM prices on newegg right now, holy jehosaphat! Those prices are insane right now.]

Yeah, it's been rough on my end.
I finally finished testing my 1800X & 1700 (1700X video coming later because of time restraints) and I just got an email about a bios update. Gonna be a long night
wow new Bios just dropped for the crosshair hero. It says Beta bios also.
Now if only I could get the manual...
