That chipset is actually a repurposed Matisse IO die: so when it's inside the package it looks excellent to you, but when put outside to service external IO duties it suddenly becomes rushed out and in need of better tech.
I simply cannot understand why it's so hard hard to wait for actual review information before going all out and criticizing an entire platform just because of a bloody fan. How many NVME drives running in RAID do you have on your Z170 board anyway?!
yes exactly, it looks excellent because it has different cooling designer for it, you wont have a passive cooled cpu that powerful as r3000 and adding pci-4 to cpu with some minor power makes sense
imagine your new ipad gets a fan for not that much needed features....you wont like it
about that nvme raid, sorry I dont need one, nvme current drives are imo performing well on the desktop without raid
I dont know about your opinion, but those x570 boards look "over" cooled, overengineered and expensive
but yes I am waiting for the reviews, actually I am very interested in what is needed to get that r3000 above 4,5GHz - boards, cooling, power etc...
I am pretty sure about 4-4,2 GHz it will have massive efficiency, lets see in the reviews
