Listened through the livestream in DCS......some thoughts while running for my life:
- The AM4 cooler spacing is a nice touch.
- 170W TDP is a lot.......currently 180W package power across even 2 chiplets is kinda hot in all-core with a midrange air cooler (although custom water only exceeds 80C after 210W or so). I'm not sure if Ian has left Anand yet (Gavin seems to have taken over), but AT seem to be conflating PPT with TDP. I hope 170W is PPT, not TDP
- The "extreme overclocking" tag for X670E is pretty funny when all of the advertised X670E boards are 4DIMMers, lol - not sure if X670 now being the middle child means a relative upgrade for B450/B550 users, or just another price hike justifications a la Z590/Z690
- Paste is going to be a bitch to clean off that IHS - falls off the edge only to get caught in between the clusters of MLCCs
