I missed the entire slot generation... went right from Socket 7 to Socket A. A hole in my resume no doubt.
I only owned a Celeron 400A in high school. I built a bunch of others though, mostly Pentium 3 450s.

LoL
I had a pentium 2 slot processor, screw those things...
The install for thread ripper isn't so bad IMO. The process of removing it from the box is absurd lol.
If, and this is a big if considering ryzen, there is a solid matx board I'll build a thread ripper.
If not, I may end up with coffee lake -_-
I like to keep 55 gallons of it handy. Never know when you might need some.(the lab analysis sheet from Exxon says it came in at 99.8%, close enuf)

I think we would all consider Kyle to be an expert working with CPUs & mobos.
If he accidentally destroyed a TR4 mobo just putting the socket cover on, I'd say there's a problem.
It should not be that delicate and easy to trash the socket.
.
We're talking about how many pins stuffed in that socket? 4100 (4094 if you wanna be a prick about it). They're gonna be delicate because they're gonna be small. There isn't anything they could be made of that would make them stronger. At least nothing I know that would conduct as well.
AMD went out of their way to design that socket so you wouldn't be touching, or doing anything near the pins..
And yet we have an industry expert who damaged the pins by accident on day one.....
.
Worthy of noting, it was NOT installing that gave me the issue, it was re-installing the socket cover.>>They're gonna be delicate because they're gonna be small.
Thanks for the amazing insight that over 4000 pins in a few square inches are going to be small.

What's your point? He dropped the socket cover on it. Any other shit you all want to complain about? Gravity don't give a shit if you're an industry expert or not.
Man I can't wait for the reviews on these things. I want one when I build my new rig so bad. It's pure overkill for a gaming rig but that's kinda why I want one. That $350-550 motherboard price though, but I guess you gotta pay for the extra beef to run a CPU that big.
It's not really overkill for a gaming rig since it's inferior for gaming.
