It's covering solder bumps for a second CCDWhat's with the hazy-white epoxy?
Seems to me like AMD bailed out the 5900/5950X3D idea and didn't bother changing the PCB

Ah, ok. AMD must have anticipated liquid metal use as a TIM and used it as a precaution. Very thoughtful!It's covering solder bumps for a second CCD
That is total suckage! I was wanting a 5900X3D. That's a fail for AMD..Seems to me like AMD bailed out the 5900/5950X3D idea and didn't bother changing the PCB

It's what they call a bad firmware upload.Eww, man...Control yourself! Take a personal moment privately if you need it. On a Ryzen CPU die package is not a place to enjoy your own package.

That's a really nice looking keyboard. I'm consistently disappointed by how few keyboards and/or keycap sets come in ISO layouts, let alone Norwegian/Nordic ISO. I guess I'll add one more to the list
Now that's bizarre!
