The real reason there is so much hunger for Ryzen

How long have people asked for soldered heat spreaders instead of the terrible TIM on their K-series?

how many people asked? more than 0.001% of customers?
face it, enthusiasts are the ones that you pee on and convince them its rain.

Intel has been treating their customers like shit. How long have people asked for soldered heat spreaders instead of the terrible TIM on their K-series?

That's a tiny part of the market, though.

I don't think that qualifies as treating their customers like shit.

So far, the solder on RyZen doesn't seem to be allowing high overclocks.

What makes you think its down to solder and not down to process or cache frequency syncing?

It was a giant FU when Intel put TIM on Devil's Canyon 4790k, ginormous middle finger that one.

I love my 4790K, even thought it died young and had to be replaced.

I was gonna go ryzen until I saw the benchmarks for the 1700.

Going from 8350 to maybe 6700 or 6700k

Nothing wrong with the 1700.
