The thought of mounting, well anything on that.
Thinking about water block costs and designs on that socket

You'd probably be able to get a pretty good estimate by looking at some of the "monoblocks" that cool both the CPU and VRMs for specific boards. Except you won't be doing that here, and watercooling the VRMs is ridiculous anyway.

How are you going to rip out the threads if the CPU can't even fit in the socket?!?!

Bad memories of the Robert Plant-led The Honeydrippers?

Well, it'll take a whole credit card just to populate that socket.

just brew it! wrote:In all likelihood they haven't announced a price yet because they still want the flexibility to tweak the MSRP before it officially launches. Nothing wrong with that.

In mother Russia, motherboards install onto CPU!

I'd like to see one too, although it would kind of be a sad waste of all those PCIe lanes unless they have a clever break-out connector or something.
