To be fair, at 30 seconds into the video der8auer squarely places the blame 50/50 (50% Intel and 50% Vendor). I'm not saying his percentages are in any way accurate (or even backed up with facts for that matter), but that could possibly be what [USER=94]@BirdofPrey[/USER] was refereing to. To summarize der8auer's blame:Intel's 50%- Intel brought up the launch from August to June, giving vendors little time to test and launch their motherboards.Vendor's 50%- Vendors fault for not testing their motherboards. Possibly just designing to Intel's default spec which is restricting unlocked X-series CPUs from having enough headroom for OCing (even if CPU thermals are in check) due to VRM throttling. Vendor's fault for choosing decorative heatsinks and cheap thermal pads instead of functional heatsinks. Looking at how he has presented it, I would say it's more like 30/70.
