    I just love that photo with Ryzen in an Intel socket :)

    That picture thoroughly threw me off. Of course Dell wouldn't take the time to properly model a Ryzen CPU :P

    Wow that's some lazy marketing right there!

    You're faster than me. I kept looking at it as I knew something was wrong I just could not get it. :)

    That cooler hanging from nowhere or scratching the board is good too... plus it seems a bit too wide to fit the mounting holes

    Or missing battery

    wonder how many other things went unnoticed yet

    I think the cooler might just be rotated 90*. The spacing between the screws looks right for the top to bottom distance.

    Thought so at first too, but the alien face logo seems oriented correctly...

    My guess was Photoshop and ignored scaling down the cooler to be 1:1 with the background

    Yeah, the entire picture is comprised of renderings, there isn't an actual photographed component in that image. They just slapped a Ryzen onto an LGA1151 socket and then pasted an AIO block above it to suggest a sort of socket reveal.

    As far as marketing graphics go, it's pretty bad, but I've seen much, much worse.

    Perspective?

    Looks like the cooler is indeed "hanging", but *over* the board and therefore closer to the viewer, which will make it look bigger.

    Perhaps, dunno, the cooler body looks way to low to go so wide... whole that area including mount points looks somehow wrong to me... idk

    Of course the battery is missing. If you put a Ryzen in an Intel socket with the battery installed the VRM's will explode.

    lol

    That and the CMOS battery is missing.

    I wish we could get regular motherboards with VRM/chipset heatsinks like that. Look at all of that glorious surface area!

    Hmmm...Dell. I think we can be sure this will be a top notch Ryzen system with the utmost care taken to make it as good as possible.

    Seems like their marketing pictures show just how much value they place on it.

    dell no way in hell!

    Wow! Looks really awesome! I love its design. Guys from Alienware should collaborate with http://dreamteam.gg/. They'll do nicely together in terms of design and visual experience.
