I've been reading this review and something caught my attention. According to the article...

"hen we started testing for this review, the main instructions we were given was that when changing between Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors, be sure to remove AC power and hold the reset BIOS button for 30 seconds. This comes down to an issue with supporting both sets of CPUs at once: Skylake-X features... See More

some form of integrated voltage regulator (somewhat like the FIVR on Broadwell), whereas Kaby Lake-X is more motherboard controlled. As a result, some of the voltages going in to the CPU, if configured incorrectly, can cause damage. This is where I say I broke a CPU: our Kaby Lake-X Core i7 died on the test bed. We are told that in the future there should be a way to switch between the two without having this issue, but there are some other issues as well."

I find this troubling. I hope it gets fixed right away. Looks like motherboard makers have a lot of things to do.

Ah... After 100 in-game days, I finally completed my clay brick house in Stranded Deep 0.31 Experimental. I must have depleted 3 large islands and 3 small islands, 2 dozen ship wrecks and killed more than 30 sharks

Omg! And I'm still feeding off coconuts since the really old builds before they introduced sea forts are the best.
PS: Some nice updates came yesterday and today. —

I love the part where the system went dead

I think the answer is yes! It died several times. Comparing the results with a current gen processor I'm over FX now and I'm even more eager to go Ryzen! —

I really thought I was the one confused about what Intel was trying to do with the X299 platform. I couldn't put it into words but Linus nailed it.
