Still not up on youtube, but twitch is working fine

If your board can handle the 95 watt 2600x, it can handle the 95 watt 3700x (or whichever is 95 w). Assuming the necessary BIOS update of course. Overclocking is thus far unknown, but will depend on your board.

Should I upgrade poorly performing 8700k for 9700k?

I think in your shoes I'd try delidding before buying another ticket in the silicon lottery. -
Yet, somehow, Apple has been repairing iMacs since their introduction, and dozens of AASPs in this thread have been stating that it's a worthwhile repair but nobody can get the parts or training needed because Apple won't release them. Actually the argument that it's "totaled" seems to be something you made up entirely, because it wasn't in the video or any communication from Apple. Interesting. So we have here a situation that (in the states at least) is not only be a shitty way to treat customers, but may well be entirely illegal (putting it in the terms and conditions cannot make an illegal thing legal). It's probably illegal in Canada too, from what people have posted in this thread. And here we have a "DrMacintosh", who seems to be pulling excuses straight out of... thin air... how Apple just can't do something because they design their computers so poorly that any damage whatsoever will make any repairs pointless. Why would you spend so much time cheerleading a company that clearly doesn't know how to build computers properly? Oh, and you should probably watch this. For giggles.

Yet they went with "nope, you're SOL". Interesting. One that is fitting for the statement saying Man, you're hilarious. Have you ever considered doing stand-up?

The dealership would be more than happy to make you pay through the nose to replace any part you wanted replaced. Have you even dealt with car dealerships? There's almost nothing they wouldn't do for enough $.
-
Really? Apple doesn't have SWAT teams standing by to prevent youtube tech reviewers from opening their legally purchased computers? What kind of vacuous statement is this?
-
Why would they question it? "This guy wants to exchange money for goods and services!" "Sounds nefarious, better dig deeper!!" Wonder where Apple could possibly get parts for the iMac Pro? Could they though? Apparently the certification needed for Apple to ship the parts, doesn't even exist yet. How is that anything other than plain incompetence?
-
If you're not him after all, you really should think about teaming up with the Internet Strongman. With the powers of Apple, Intel and Nvidia combined, you could rule the universe! Apparently they can't disassemble it as part of a(n attempted) comprehensive review. That's the question now, isn't it?
-
Would it be acceptable if they did the same thing to any other customer? If not, is it OK to do this to any customer that Apple just doesn't care for, for whatever reason?
-
juanrga is that you? Moonlighting? Sorry, you reminded me of a poster on some other forums. Anyhow. Way to ignore everything that matters. Apple is not being asked to "cover" anything, merely to SELL replacement components (which are modular and mass-produced) at whatever markup they feel necessary. Third parties and even Apple's OWN REPAIR FACILITIES can't even get access to the components. It's incredible incompetence and mismanagement.
-
Responsibility? They broke it, told Apple they broke it, tried to pay to have it repaired, and were told (essentially): "Piss off, we can't be bothered." NOBODY ever claimed that the warranty was even in play. This is a matter of supporting your customers, especially customers that are able and willing to pay for repairs. Releasing a product, that many customers will be using to run businesses to earn a living, but being unable or unwilling to repair that product? Even now, fully five months after launch? Stupidly, blatantly, hilariously, unacceptable.

Legality has almost nothing to do with this. As a company that wants to retain customers, Apple should at least pretend to give half a damn about keeping those customers happy. Even if they're legally in the clear, it's a pretty retarded move. Let's bring this back to cars because why not: if you tinker with your new BMW, and fry the main computer, or strip a bunch of bolts on the engine block, do you know what BMW will say when you bring it in to get fixed? "Of course, will that be cash or credit?" Maybe even give you a free rental while they replace the parts you broke. Doing this to ANY paying customer is idiotic, but doing it to a customer that has a fairly large online presence and fanbase is actually kinda funny. I was considering another mac to replace my 2009 Macbook, but this incident makes it pretty obvious that despite the charms of OSX, this isn't a company that I want to give money to. I really doubt I'm the only person who feels this way. That's of course disregarding that Apple may, in fact, be violating consumer protection laws in both the US and Canada.

LOL what kind of half-thought-out BS is this? Even if there's no insurance, companies fix things that break because their customers demand it AND, get this, they can make even more money doing so. If customers are unable to repair a product, and the company (cars, computers, whatever) tells them to just buy a new one, that company will eventually not have any more customers. What the hell kind of business model is that? "I'm sorry to hear that your iMac fell off the desk, instead of fixing the modular, mass-produced part that broke, why don't you buy a WHOLE NEW ONE, because our TOS says we don't give a damn. Oh, when can we expect your next order, because there is NO WAY AT ALL that you're thinking about buying from a competitor?" EDIT: Because it seems to be mandatory in this thread: have you thought of using the display from a 5k iMac, also contact Louis Rossman and the guy from Strange Parts.
