    One of the first images showing the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Zen 4 desktop processor installed on a motherboard was shared online by a user who had access to one. ...

    Ooh, if I really zoom in and squint my eyes, I can already, even if barely, spot the SQUIP vulnerability in the leaked photo.

    I missed everything, but is there a roadmap for how many years AMD will support AM5, like it was with AM4?o_O

    I can see Ebay being flooded with x670 motherboards with bent pins in the next 6 months....just like the z170....z270...z370 and so on, I think I`ll stick with my 5800x and gskill ddr4 4000cl15 royals for at least another year... no need to fix what isn`t broken.

    I accutally prefer lga to pga in the long run, easy to bend the pins if the paste gets hard and the cooler sticks. it was easy with less of them, now there's +1700 pins so better to use lga.

    I think is just the jpeg compression, not a real vulnerability. Try to pump up gamma and contrast and is clearly not the vulnerability.

    Cleanng the paste will be the fun part, with all the cutouts in the heatspreader.
    Let's hope no "bedgate" for AM5, given how think the heatspreader actually is.

    I think i m doing something like that, move from 2700x to 5800x, search a replacement for the 3200cl14 that will actually improve something, and then just think to move forward from the 1080ti.

    Removing LM will be fun :D

    I see more than few people here and there talking about prossible problems regarding applying and removing thermal paste on new Ryzen 7000 series but honestly there's nothing to worry about folks, just use some type of sticky-tape, make a square surrounding IHS covering all 8 "IHS legs" (and SMDs between them) and you're good to go. Two minute job.

    Here I did it with kapton tape (so it can be clearly visible) using CPU pic from Guru3D article but using any tape will be just fine:

    I simply can`t understand why AMD made some cutouts in the sides of the heatspreader.

    Applying thermal paste is going to be much harder than it should and i can already see some people returning their CPUs because of this decision...

    Possibly saving 5% of IHS materials? Dunno though, I find it highly odd tbh

    Probably because the AM5 socket don't have space for SMD components on the bottom, so more fitting had to be made on the top.

    Good idea but when one wants to change paste after several months it will be tough to clean like someone said as the paste will be spread out in all corners.

    Those cuts have to be machined. So that material is just waste and it has to be sent back to be smelt again.
    The machining costs more than whatever could be saved with material saving.

    My thought is that AMD needed those cuts to give room to those capacitors.

    Got my 5700x for an amazing price at $333 cad after taxes and shipping and I have no intention of a whole platform upgrade any time soon now I desperately need a gpu
