It's actually not the motherboard makers, remmeber back in 2022 Igor's Labs Igor posted the LGA1700 mounting hardware causing a lid bow, the whole rising temps, instability, vcore flying out of control, other shenanigans?
Well intel has never fixed the bow and has said it is functioning as intended. They are willing to die on that hill, if you do some more reading the baseline profiles like I have said all over facebook also would not be stable, due the lid bowing excessive pressure is put on the processor itself that is where the vcore is flying up on its own, the two parts of the lid that come up your IMC is on one side and your PCIE controller on the chip is on the other thus the whole nvidia saying talk to intel it's not our vram. So intel is pointing fingers at everyone else instead of taking responsibility and fixing it. The reviewers have let them get away with it, as much as the motherboard companies are just willing to lay down and take it.
You install a cooler/aio/block correctly without a correction bracket the issue could take years to manifest itself or at least until you take your cooling solution off then it starts at a rapid pace. Or you just put on a correction bracket and enjoy your intel cpu like some of us learned the hard way since 12th gen, 13th gen and now 14th gen.
AMD is just as guilty, but at least their flaw can be covered up with a software update via the bios limiting the voltage their chip cannot handle, that they also did poor communication to the board partners on, was almost like lets just wait and see let it happen our chips will run the faster kits we will do better, stuff will go wrong, we will blame the motherboard makers, then release the bios fix. The customer gets screwed with poor 1% lows and or frame time. They are sort of dropping their prices because the flaw is getting more well known and they are trying to dump inventory before the next gen, attempt to keep their stock prices from tanking. Also the reviewers not pushing it harder and the motherboard companies once again laying down and taking it are at fault as well as us consumers.
I miss the days when stuff was fully tested R&Ded the most it could be before it made it on the shelves for us to buy, sadly those days are over....
I am also laughing at the reviewers most of them about 99.99% of them because the Ram QVL list are mostly a scam, its like these companies are popping in the ram and going does it post? Boot? Does it crash? Pass Memtest? oh yes on all of that, should we run an actual stability test? Na just add it to the QVL list because a lot of these boards cannot run some of these kits if someone's life depended on it even with a handpicked golden sample board and cpu in xmp/expo like the claims these companies make.
