"rock bottom scraping sh!t kind of board".... why because its cheap? or do you actually have reviews saying this board is buggy and prone to breaking?
Because if not you are again just going off price meaning quality even though to try so hard to debunk that later which was btw my point, the "..." was to emphasis the sarcasm.
Don't tell me you honestly believe top-notch parts costs the same as budget ones do and would even sell for the same price - Of course they don't and one big reason why Biostar boards are always the very last left in a category otherwise sold out in places like the egg inspite of also being the cheapest board in said category.
Price is one thing, quality is another and both either sell or leave a piece on the shelf.
Not to mention, I think 50 dollars for a basic motherboard is a pretty darn normal price as well, sure you have them as high as that 1000 dollar X570 Aqua but then you also have those 300 dollar waterblocks.
$50 for a basic, no-frills piece isn't bad at all as long as it does the job and
keeps working, however there are limits to what's it's capable of, being it's a budget piece that is.
Drop a 3950x in and I'm sure you'll quickly discover these limitations, at the additional cost of a 3950x chip and hope that's all the additional cost paid.....
RAM sticks, drives, GPU, PSU - May cost you the entire build over trying to stuff a top of the line CPU in said budget board.
I see the price of a waterblock just went up too.
BTW you still have $50 waterblocks perfectly acceptable for running your 2K chip with - Again with the point without a point.
Price =/= quality, it never has been and never will be.
Bullsh!t!
This biostar board is cheap because it uses a cheap chipset and is low on features, no RGB madness on this board to jack up the pricing, that does not mean it wont function perfectly fine with an 3950X on it.
Can you get the most out of this cpu with that board in regards to overclocking potential or massive amounts of fast ram support etc? no, but if that is needed is for the buyer to decide.
Their and your attitude towards what constitutes quality in a product are just off.
Doesn't mean it will work (For long) with a 3950x either, ran at stock or however else.
Not a case of attitude because my attitude has no bearing on the manufacturing process of anything except in a case of actually being the one(s) involved with it's creation.
It is what it is, nothing posted here is gonna change that.
BTW..... Since you act like a Biostar rep, I want my old Biostar TA990FXE replaced with a working unit please.
(Complaint)
Wasn't even 6 months old and all it took to kill it was testing a defective stick of RAM. Same said stick was then tested in my Asus CHV-Z to be sure and it was like "Dude, you've got a bad stick of RAM" and laughed but the Biostar just coudn't handle that so it died.
It was also at the time the cheapest FX-990 board around and only reason I got it was due to budget at the time.... And just to give the name a chance. Used it as a daily with a FX-8320 and that's really about it.... Until it choked on a simply defective stick of RAM and nothing else (End/Complaint).

Guys, if you pick one up you can try a 3950x in it if you want - It may actually live, maybe not but I do know one thing as an absolute.
Won't be me trying it.
