MSI Shows Us How To Install an AMD Threadripper CPU

[JustReason]

Everyones talking about teh TIM skills (or lack thereof). But what about the fck up @ 2:10 and the jump cut around 2:17 to fix the alignment to the mounting screws! I'd have done a re-shoot for that at least! No way would i let that go onto a public video. lol. Not to mention... be totally bummed i just stuffed up the "great" TIM application with a double-dribble!

I posted on that earlier in the thread. Was kinda obvious and surprised no one mentioned that up front. lol

Great site that shows every conceivable pattern and then the guy presses down acrylic to see what it looks like once pressure is applied:

TLDR for the lazy, X shape is the best followed by spread method and rice sized dot.

That was neat. Thanks for sharing.

How common of a problem is crushed pins that so many people keep mentioning it.

I've build probably 30+ systems since Intel introduced the painless CPU's, and never bent any.

Are people retarded?

Considering that checking for bent pins is a SOP during returns at Frys and MicroCenter,
I'd say it's common enough

Nice! Good to see at least one got it. I knew i could never "beat" the internet (not even in a small a victory as this lol).
