turbo is intel software acceleration

#

So logical overclocking? 0.o

#

rather than physical

#

and its only for bursts

#

no

#

say there is a moment when the cpu needs more speed, turbo hits

#

but if you need the 4.6 always, turbo wont help

#

Isn't the base frequency on the 8700 and 8700k the same?

#

no the k version is higher slightly

#

because to be completely honest I don't realy plan on overclocking

#

*really

#

I don't overclock my current CPU lmao

#

well you will need to if you plan on future proofing

#

ideally you want to be around a steady 4.2/4.3ghz range

#

for gaming

#

future proofing as in

#

?

#

making the cpu last a long time

#

ah

#

I have an ln2 cooled 8350 that Im using in a gaming rig

#

its hyper oc'd and I can get a stable 144hz@1080p on bf1

#

I also have a 1080ti in the system

#

but

#

We have a bunch of those sitting around the shop anyways

#

I don't have a 144 hz monitor tho lmao

#

I have a GTX 1060 6GB

#

that I plan on keeping because it's been doing me well

#

No graphics issues whatsoever with it

#

the 1060 will bottleneck the 8700k

#

honestly

#

the 1060 can pair well with a i3 8350k

#

an 8600k is a little overboard for that even

#

What do you mean it'll bottleneck

#

the card will limit the cpu in gaming

#

cant process more than the card itself will allow

rigid knoll Jun 20, 2018, 7:19 PM

#

1070 would probably bottleneck 8700k too

prime jasper Jun 20, 2018, 7:20 PM

#

not by that much

#

1070ti doesnt though

#

its about equal

#

honestly, dont get an 8700k

#

its great

#

I love mine\

#

but save $80~ and get the i5 and the lost threads wont really affect you

#

📎 Ashes.png

#

frame loss is low and thats ashes

#

with uses extra threads

#

📎 ACO_01.png

#

📎 BF1_Ultra.png

#

This one is relevant to this discord

#

3-4 frames lost

#

thats nothing

#

so the question is, are 4 frames worth $80?

agile rain Jun 20, 2018, 11:30 PM

#

I want to possibly do a Ryzen 2400G mini ITX build, except sometimes boards you buy dont even have an updated bios so it wont post. and Microcenter actually charges $30 to check, and $40 to flash the bios if it is outdated and not posting. I have my Ryzen 1600, but I wouldnt wanna have to unbuild my main PC just to update the bios for another board, a little inconvenient

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 1:22 AM

#

AMD might still be sending off the engineering samples to fix that

#

its some odd ball incredibly bad processor that was never released

agile rain Jun 21, 2018, 3:39 AM

#

Yah you have to contact them and they will send you an Athlon, but at that point, I would be better off taking the 1600 out to flash the bios instead of waiting days for the Athlon to come in

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:49 AM

#

well stop being lazy

split hazel Jun 21, 2018, 4:47 AM

Hey guys, I've decided to buy a rig for a certain budget, what to you guys think?

https://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/8tvW9J

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 4:50 AM

#

The the z370-A is around the same price I'd go with that also, that cooler isn't good enough for a coffeelake

#

coffeelakes have a hidden cost behind them and thats the required cooling just to run them

#

also since youre going with a slow harddrive, get an intel optaine accelerator. They make 7200rpm hardrives a similar speed to an ssd

#

I'd also look into getting a higher speed ram, since speed can affect performance. 2133mhz just doesnt cut it if youre after stability

#

I'd also suggest a 700w gold rating, silver ratings actually will cost you more money in the long run over a gold if you include the cost of energy into your equations.

#

past that? Looks stellar

split hazel Jun 21, 2018, 4:57 AM

#

I'm in a budget these parts come within it, so I'm considering to go ahead and buy it

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 5:03 AM

#

@agile rain some mobos have a special USB port that can be used to flash the bios without having a cpu installed,

agile rain Jun 21, 2018, 5:10 AM

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 5:25 AM

#

@rigid knoll gtx 1070 doesnt bottleneck 8700k

#

atleast on bf1

#

i5-8600k good choice if your going to pair it with like gtx 1070

rigid knoll Jun 21, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

Currently running 6700K with gtx 1070. Thinking of going 8700K soonish, and gpu later when nvidia bothers to release the new lineup

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

@prime jasper I'm looking to get an 8600k, and recommendations for a cooler

#

Preferably an air cooler

#

Because I'm lazy :D

@sour ivy noctua d15 keeps my ryzen 5 1600 3.9ghz at 30 degress idle 60 degress max

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

How much @pallid silo

pallid silo Jun 21, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

80 pounds xD but i got it like 4 years ago lmao @sour ivy

#

if not hyper 212 evo

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:00 PM

#

now my I5 7200U is useless 👌

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:00 PM

#

I have a hyper t2

#

But idk if that'll be good enough for the more powerful 8600k

#

Why is it useless @prime jasper

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:01 PM

#

because it's 7th gen and not 8th gen...@sour ivy ... SAD

pallid silo Jun 21, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

put it it on a 8600k? and see how the temps are

#

@prime jasper get ryzen xd its dank

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

Wolf it's a 7200u

#

He cant put a ryzen in his laptop

#

😬

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

@sour ivy how do you know that i am using a laptop?

#

lol

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

Because it's an i7 7200u

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

ah

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

Sorry I mean i5

#

That's a laptop processor

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

i was ready to fix that lol

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:04 PM

#

Well it's still a decent laptop processor

#

It's meh

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:04 PM

#

i bought it at fucking september...

#

too late to but a 7gen laptop

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

What's the gpu

#

@prime jasper

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

i am checking

#

btw it's a 64 bit laptop

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

? Ok

#

Barely any laptops are 32 bit nowadays

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:08 PM

#

fucking settings.

#

idr lol

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:09 PM

#

Click Start.

On the Start menu, click Run.

In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.

The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.

On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.

#

Do this and tell me what you have @prime jasper

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:15 PM

#

i think it's Intel HD Graphics 620

#

yep, i am pretty sure@sour ivy

#

and it has like... 2/4 gb graphic memory. i remember that day when i bought it

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

@prime jasper can you even run battlefield lol

#

That's integrated graphics

#

Oof

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

i have ma Xbox One

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

Ah

#

Cuz no way you can game on integrated graphics xD

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:24 PM

#

weidly stable 60fps at campaign

#

i will buy a betterpc (not a laptop) for gaming

#

and it has like... 2/4 gb graphic memory. i remember that day when i bought it

#

uhhhh

#

Integrated Graphics share system ram

#

8gb ram

#

yes, but it doesn't utilize all of that

#

it's only uses a small amount

#

btw @sour ivy my pc can run Modern Combat 5 (super heavyi, 1gb heavy instead of bf1 for xb1: 42 gb? pssh! too light!)at 60 fps max settings omg no way

#

you can change it via bios, but you're not going to be able to use as much ram as you like w/o compromising system performance

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

Modern combat 5 is a mobile game, that's not impressive.

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:32 PM

#

i used irony (if i spelled it right)

#

btw, €550 was the best that i found for that price.

#

in that fing shop

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

Holy crap you got scammed

#

You can buy a laptop with a 1050 for 700$

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

idc, i didn't want to game with this crap

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

Still

#

xD

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

@sour ivy in Italy, a 1050 laptop costs €1200

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

That's insane

#

750 here

#

Lol

#

I think

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

so well, with that price in Italy was the best

#

Euros, not dollars

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 3:37 PM

#

Yeah I understand

#

Italy scammers xd

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 3:37 PM

#

well i think i am gonna move to England or to Albania (my origin country where te prices are super low but the economy is damn high for those prices)

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 5:58 PM

#

155mm and under youre better going off with something like a h110i or a kraken

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 7:07 PM

#

@prime jasper again, I'd prefer air cooling

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 7:10 PM

#

then get a new case

#

there arent any coolers that can really affectively dealwith coffeelake that are small

#

unless you delid it

#

My nh-d15 on a modest oc of 4.6 non-delidded gets 70-80c on my cpu, and thats the best cooler on the market

#

at 4.2 it was getting very similar temps also

#

Hell Im at 4.2 right now and Im at an idle of 47

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 7:22 PM

#

Ugh

#

Is there any risk to water cooling really

quaint topaz Jun 21, 2018, 7:28 PM

#

I can confirm Noctua has the best air coolers.

#

I have the NH-D14

#

its quite beefy but does an amazing job.

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

@sour ivy Every type of cooler has risks, but AIOs are perfectly safe for entry level users to install and use

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

Anything good under 80?

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 7:32 PM

#

Those heat pipes on air coolers have liquid in them, sometimes a gas. If those get punctured the cooler stops working

#

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835214061

#

this isnt bad bad

#

Im not going to call it top tier though

#

its $79.78 with a $30 rebate card

sour ivy Jun 21, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

@prime jasper I don't need top tier. I'm fine with base clocking or slight overclock

prime jasper Jun 21, 2018, 7:50 PM

Good morning folks! I need some help with BF1 perfomance. I've been playing BF1 with max settings for the past year... but since Apocalypse came out, I've been having massive stuttering during my matches. Game runs at 60 fps but when it stutters it drops to 15 - 20 randomly. Is there any1 having the same issue?? I play other games such as Battlefront II and I never had any trouble with it. (i5 6600, 16gb ram, gtx1060 6gb)

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 12:49 PM

#

I had this same issue

#

and then BF1 somehow reset itself a few days ago (all of my keybinds, video settings etc were back to default) and the game now runs smooth as butter sans Operations (fuck that noise)

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dry perch Jun 26, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

Did you have it on SSD or HDD? I think the problem is my HDD even tho. SSD only affects loading times.. 😐

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

HDD

#

HDD would only effect load times

#

everything else is cpu and gpu dependent

#

idk wtf DICE did to make this game such an unoptimized mess

dry perch Jun 26, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

It's supposed to only affect loadings but apparently It's not.

@dry perch I have the exact same problem, I have an i5 7500, Msi GTX 1060 6GB and I think 8 ram?

#

I've been playing the game on ultra with 120-ish fps as average

#

But now it's an average of like.. 40

dry perch Jun 26, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

Installed on SSD. Same problem 😦

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 5:43 PM

#

Something happened at some point that's causing high cpu usage

#

again idk what it is specifically, as the game runs fine for me now sans Operations

silk echo Jun 26, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

So.. if you had one monitor and you had the option to buy one more, would you go for a ultrawide screen or a normal one?

@silk echo Normal one for sure. Gaming-usage?

silk echo Jun 26, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

Mainly for gaming

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

I'd go for a second screen. I monitor things on my secondary screen and game on my main

#

Also, a lot of games will be stretched a lot. Not really something I like

Nah its fine, im just really torn between getting a normal 16:9 monitor or getting a 21:9 one

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

For just gaming or also other things?

silk echo Jun 26, 2018, 8:01 PM

#

I mean, YT and Twitter and stuff but mainly for gaming

turbid verge Jun 26, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

tbh 1080p 144hz if you enjoy smoothness

#

then depends how many inches you like your monitor

#

the thing about 21:9 or wide monitors they cost a bit

#

even 60hz ones

#

but depends on your price range aswell @silk echo

silk echo Jun 26, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

once you go 144 you never go back

Im still good for now

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 8:16 PM

#

if you’re gaming you want as low latency on your monitor as possible

#

otherwise you will get input lag

#

so 1ms response is great 😄

silk echo Jun 26, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

the LG i sent has a pretty good latency

#

It has like 3ms or 5ms

350 is way too low to even get something decent when it comes to ultrawide

I heard only good things about it

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 8:20 PM

Do some research on ultrawide monitors 😄

And then choose one that fits you

But I doubt 350 will work for anyone

unless it’s a Korean knock-off

You see doesnt matter what monitor ill buy ill still have a dual set up as i already have one monitor

prime jasper Jun 26, 2018, 8:21 PM

So buy a 16:9 then? Or wut???

Cause i had a dual setup for years now and the bezel is so hecking annoying

But you won’t be able to watch youtube and game without a bezel even if you have an ultrawide

You can get good 1440p 144hz monitors for $400.
Ultrawides also have clunky support and stretch most games without increasing fov. Some just put black bars everywhere so it sticks to 16:9

Trying to fit battlefield 1 to a window or fullscreen with blackbars on the sides at 2560x1440p

#

I have a 21:9 monitor so it doesnt stretch well and doesnt fit Twitch well either

#

is it possible to have it set to that, or is there some sort of cfg command that would resize my window?

prime jasper Jun 28, 2018, 12:25 AM

I also have a 2560x1440p monitor and bf1 fits perfectly

if its strecthing out way too much then you might need to configure several things with windows

#

I think he has a 3440x1440 monitor, but wants to play the game at 2560x1440 with black bars on the sides

#

because you can't set the FOV high enough for 21:9 for his taste (or something) so it looks really stretched?

prime jasper Jun 28, 2018, 7:52 AM

#

well 2560x1440 sets it to 21:9, so I'd have to see his screen

worn storm Jun 28, 2018, 9:51 AM

you have to set screen scaling in nvidia control panel ( or amd ) - to not stretch the image

I could do with some help., I've never streamed pc gameplay before so have been testing all morning during the BFV Alpha. When playing the game I get a steady 60fps at 1440p with everything on high settings. However, I start streaming it using OBS at the same time and the framerates are so bad, (30fps, lows of 12-15) even at 1080p and medium settings it is the same. Not worse, basically the same as it was at 1440p and high settings

#

I have changed the process priority in obs, it seem to help only ever so slightly

#

My setup is CPU: Ryzen 5 1600x 3.9GHz (Overclocked) GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-2933 MHz Mobo: Gigabyte - GA-AX370-Gaming K5 SSD: Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB M.2

#

Any advice would be great

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 12:45 PM

#

Dont play at 1440p, your system can not support 1440p with x264 encoding, also you need to set everything to low, mesh can be on high/ultra, with HBAO and TAA(high)

#

My system can barely tank frames while streaming bf5 while at 1440p, and I use top end hardware.

manic vine Jun 29, 2018, 12:58 PM

#

@prime jasper I set encoder in obs to NVENC and it runs well except for a few stutters now and again, maintains 60 fps

#

but the thing is, with cpu encoding why is they no difference when I play at 1440p High, and 1080p Low

#

the framerate is exactly the same, you would think it would get better the lower I set the settings

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 1:01 PM

#

nvenc is why youre having issues

manic vine Jun 29, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

no it was x264 before I changed

#

its better with nvenc, I dont know why

#

It shouldnt be

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

See I if I stream on my ryzen rig with nvenc I cant even get past 30 fps

#

and this is a hyper oc with a 1070ti under phase ln2

#

all running at stupid high levels

#

But as I said before, 1440p is optimized in the alpha, my 8700k/1080ti had issues with it

#

and everything is set to low

#

on high it struggles to support 80fps

manic vine Jun 29, 2018, 1:04 PM

#

I dont know what to say, its better with nvenc, I will shar my settings

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

then you must have stupidly good internet

manic vine Jun 29, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

now im not trying to stream at 1440p

#

the stream output is 1080p

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 1:06 PM

nvenc should only be used if you have something like a 4770k or a 8350

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 1:09 PM

well back to what Ive said several times, bf5 isnt well optimized for 1440p

thats the systemic issue

#

its not uncommon for an 8700k to get 100% usage on 1440p

manic vine Jun 29, 2018, 1:11 PM

#

but it was the same at 1080p when streaming

#

playing at 1080p and streaming at 1080p was awful

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 1:12 PM

man I cant even stream the game at 480p without having issues

only ones who arent having game breaking issues are ones with 8700ks

prime jasper Jun 29, 2018, 1:19 PM

well part of it is the hardware but that is getting way to far into things

try to stick to 720p30/60 also for streaming right now

1080p 30/60 tends to be really wonky with the 1600 seriers

depends on the case

and the standoff type

M3 is the standard though

#6-32 UNC is the other standard

#6-32 UNC is the safer bet for most stnadoffs

I have small standoffs lol

📎 JPEG_20180701_012858.jpg

If I lose the screws for the stand offs I just buy new standoffs

if those dont work use m3

if that doesnt work, cuss out god and order new standoffs

Hm ok

I am thinking of overclocking my 1060 6GB until I upgrade. (Most likely going to wait for the next 1170 ti)

#

Thoughts? :3

#

im getting my 1060 tomorrow, gonna overclock it to the magical 2ghz

#

:p

#

I'm waiting to overclock it until I install my 8700K

#

then I'm gonna have some fun hehe

#

im just gonna revamp my whole system next year

#

I'm doing that this year. I am replacing my power supply, motherboard, processor and RAM. The only thing to replace now is the graphics card but that can wait a few months if not a year.

#

1060 is a decent card, it will last for a year easily

#

I probably gonna wait until the 1170 comes out

#

and buy that

#

Atm im tryna choose a laptop that im gonna get (For free so no buy destop whining) And i thinkin about Alienware, Razer blade or MSI gs 65

#

xD

#

I have to sell a laptop I have atm..... I don't know where I should sell it tho

#

It's an i3 core

#

I forget which one though

#

im getting a laptop for travel and some content creation

#

I think it's like an i3-6800 or something around there

#

8350K

#

?

i'm on a tight budget

I need an affordable mobo and a case

prime jasper Jul 3, 2018, 9:55 AM

then get a 8600k, not an 8700k. They are effectively the same thing for gaming. the extra threads dont help with frames by very much, we're looking a less than 1% margin

so unless youre doing content creation the 8600k is the best bet for the buck

woo its my bday

now im old

it also allows you to put that money towards a decent case and a higher end mobo.

Yeah. It doesn't even hit 70 celsius my guy

#

It floats around 65 celsius when OCed

#

when idle it sits around 30

#

Now if someone ever needs a budget card, tell them to get an EVGA GTX 1060 6GB

#

EVGA is really good :p

#

I have a new 750W power supply from them

#

Gold certified, and a 10 year warranty

those are gud

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

yeah ;p

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

I like ASUS for GPUs myself, but I've never had an EVGA card so bingShrug

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

ASUS is good too or so I hear

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

should be yeah, though the quality of their support heavily depends on your region

#

in Finland they have a really good and quick RMA process

#

but apparently it's not the same everywhere else

#

Some guy on craigslist wanted to trade his ASUS dual 1070 (I think it was superclocked), for a 1060 6GB. I asked him why and he wouldn't tell me, just that he wants to trade and wants me to pay $120 ontop of the trade

#

so I was like

#

fuck no lmao

#

I just wish the closed alpha would've lasted a few days longer

#

Since I have 8700K, I wanted to see how it'd handle that and me overclocking the 1060

#

but I guess I'll have to wait till the closed/open beta or whatever

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:28 AM

#

you seen the weird discrepancies in the recent benchmarks btw?

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:28 AM

#

Nah

#

I did see that AMD outperformed NVIDIA tho

#

with the closed alpha anyways

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:29 AM

#

pcgamesn had their 1060 perform about 20fps worse at 1080p Ultra than e.g. sweclockers' benchmark did

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:29 AM

#

0.0

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:29 AM

#

so, when compared to the RX 580, the 580 performed some 33% better

#

in pcgamesn's benchmark

#

it's really weird - pcgamesn ran a newer ryzen (2700X) while sweclockers had an 8600K

#

I don't think that should cause such a massive difference

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:30 AM

#

Yeah

#

Idk. I saw that on my news feed for my phone

#

I was like "wuuut AMD did better? Since when" XD

#

Have you guys heard about the i 9000 series already? :D

#

Yes. And they're ridiculously expensive

#

and tbh I don't think they're that supported

#

I think they're more of an experimental series more than a consumer series

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:32 AM

#

I mean the 580 is stronger than the 1060, as far as I know

#

but the difference was so big, and the results between different benchmarks were inconsistent

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:33 AM

#

yeah

#

It's almost as if AMD payed PCgamer

#

xD

#

Conspiracy 101

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:33 AM

for reference, here's the pcgamesn results: https://i.imgur.com/AH5cepg.png

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

~~Same thing~~ Oh

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

but the green bar is the avg fps anyway

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

0.0

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 7:35 AM

#

oh well 😛

#

guess we'll have proper benchmarks once the game releases, in an alpha the difference could really be caused by anything

#

it's not like there was a standardized benchmarking mode or anything

#

I assume they both just played some amount of time and got the avg

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

ah

fiery aspen Jul 5, 2018, 10:32 AM

#

ive heard amd gpus perform better in dx12

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 10:45 AM

#

even then, that wouldn't explain the benchmark results (pcgamesn tested with both and had a similar difference)

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 10:47 AM

#

Sooooo

#

I have a software that allows me to overclock and play around with Turbo w/o having to go to BIOS

#

and lets just say, I overclocked from 3.7 GHz to 4.3 GHz and I am still stable XD

#

I didn't break anything (yet)

north crow Jul 5, 2018, 10:48 AM

#

wew

prime jasper Jul 5, 2018, 10:48 AM

#

I actually went over those findings

#

Around 50 celsius idle, around 60 celsius under load

#

😄

#

He had some weird testing methodology

#

oh

#

I needed to scroll down more

#

fuck

#

I turned the Ratio to 43 because I had the computer automatically doing the ratios, and I could see my frickin frequency bounce up to 4.7 GHz lmao. I don't need that much power yet haha

#

do you know what turbo is for?

#

Yeah

#

but I don't have much that needs turbo atm

#

I mean

#

I like it on

#

System runs super fast with it on

#

Ok, as long as you know its for burst speeds not sustained

#

yeah

#

Well I think this "TPU" puts a cap of some sort on the turbo because I don't see it going back up to 4.7 GHz

#

some boards have a max of something like 3 seconds in turbo

#

ah

#

some have 8

#

its rarely very long, its just for the cpu to be able to deal with a sudden heavy load.

#

I don't get this. TPU is supposed to be for Turbo, yet you're able to adjust your CPU ratio. I adjusted it to 43, and my frequency is hovering around 4.3 GHz

#

Not bouncing up and down like it was 0.o

#

god asus makes thing so confusing sometimes

#

tpu also means tensor processing core

#

Uhhh

#

Sooo overclocking?

#

trying to see what that unit does exactly, as I dont remember it

#

its kind of old

#

Okay well I don't know what I did but Turbo doesn't seem to work anymore. It is just using the 4.3 GHz frequency I set it to (even though I set it back to default)

#

its thrown onto lower end boards for some reason also

#

It's like.. staying on 4.3 GHz

#

I have a $160 board

#

;p

#

yeah low end

#

How is $160 low end what

#

because its not an apex
