    yawn…..

    i was using intel (and only intel) since 2008… but this x299.. no thanks.

    i rather buy a threadripper. intel has lost it… too expensive for what it offers.
    i am not stupid enough to pay 40% more for 10-20% more real life performance.

    and who was the genius that thought using TIM on a high end CPU is a good idea?

    my main system is still a x99 but i changed my sandy bridge 2600k system to a ryzen 1700… best CPU deal since 2011. go AMD!!!
