n3m37h,

Can NASA start making motherboards for PCs? Average lifetime for one now is under 10 years

n3m37h,

Yes I know Intel works on a Tic Tock system so every 2 generations they change the pinouts. AM4 lasted 4 generations, hopefully AM5 will too but unlikely. Still a CPU will last well over 10 years. Motherboards on the other hand, dont even though they should last a lot longer esp considering all the tantilum / other SMD capacitors.

Voyager also only uses mW of power compared to the 25-300w of current CPUs

Alson I was joking about NASA doing anything other than space stuff

n3m37h,

Can ya not take a joke? I even stated as much lmao

n3m37h,

Sadly there is actually a good reason for gen 3 boards not being able to support gen 4 even though its a firmware lock. Signal integrity.

n3m37h,

All good, I get a kick on showing my knowledge too haha or lack of in most cases.

I still want a mobo that can outlast my fkn CPU! HELP NASA! ;)

PS thanks for correcting me about the end of Intel’s tic tock model with their inability to shrink a node for 5 or so years

n3m37h,

Never heard about that. Pretty shady shit.

n3m37h,

Maybe pay some of these actors less and pay everyone fairly
