Task manager often does wrong %

vernal cosmos
#

Use hwinfo

vast meadow
#

Or msi afterburner

vernal cosmos
#

Yeah

oak sand
#

gpu max is 61, cpu use is like 60 max

#

msi afterburner

#

thats probably fine then

vast meadow
#

Make sure that's not temps as well

oak sand
#

It's not temps are like 70 c all around

vast meadow
#

Ahh okay

severe pivot
#

last crash had cpu at 76C i flipped my liquid cooling to guarantee no air in the pipes, and i added thermal paste just to be sure.

vast meadow
#

76c on cpu is fine

severe pivot
#

ive already updated the drivers and uninstalled and reinstalled them for this gpu trying to fix the gpu error

#

but i still crashed. so ijust did this

#

i also went in bios and set the ram voltage to .001 higher than the default.

#

it was on auto, so i set it to manual

#

someone online had a similar issue and that fixed it for them

#

but it did not for me. i crashed again

#

also i had the HWinfo64 on my second monitor when i crashed, i turned off auto restart pc on crash, and on the monitor it did not say YES for any of the maximums for core thermal throttling or critical temp or power limit

#

Yeah that wasn't a solution either... Just crashed again in a league game... PC remains running but the screen goes black. I only hear audio for like a second tho.

severe pivot
vast meadow
#

also whats your gpu?

severe pivot
#

3080ti

#

sorry i crashed taking that pic

vast meadow
#

Ahh

severe pivot
#

looks like the nvidia driver is crashing

#

but idk why

vast meadow
#

Download ddu and go into safe mode

severe pivot
#

okay a lot of this im not sure what i want to keep or remove to be honest

vast meadow
#

@severe pivot did you boot into safe mode first?

severe pivot
#

should i reset in safe mode before i do this

#

okay ill brb

vast meadow
#

Yes

severe pivot
#

okay cleaned it out. my second monitor is just black now

#

should i just geforce experience install the drivers back?

brittle stirrup
#

what is uma frame buffer size?

vast meadow
severe pivot
#

okie dokie

#

im doing it in regular pc mode

#

not safemode right

vast meadow
severe pivot
#

i did express install last time

#

this time im gonna do custom

#

to see if it helps for whatever reason

#

time to go limit test in game

shy wyvern
#

I have my 12600k and z690 a pro! I just need to request a lga 1700 mounting bracket from be quiet now

#

Anyone know how long that going to take to get in?

gentle acorn
#

Any idea if the 12th gen i5 or i7 would stay cool with a stock cooler or should i buy a liquid cooler for it?

#

Also would i be asking too early for the information seeing as its so new?

vast meadow
vast meadow
rocky beacon
gentle acorn
#

Alright

#

Neither do but i have one from my i5

rocky beacon
#

Which is an older and cooler i5

gentle acorn
#

Yeah

vast meadow
#

but id go with arctic liquid freezer ii/ek rgb/lian li galahad

gentle acorn
#

Does the liquid freezer support the bracket? That wouldve been what id go with

vast meadow
#

yep

gentle acorn
#

Alright cool

vast meadow
#

nvm peerless assasin doesnt have the new bracket yet :/

gentle acorn
#

Alright

#

Also would the i5 be good for light streaming?

vast meadow
#

because you use your 2080 super

gentle acorn
#

I think I’ll still go with the liquid freezer

vast meadow
#

nvenc

#

fair i would too

gentle acorn
#

Yeah i was wanting to upgrade though since i tend to stream games like COD which my computer does have some issues with when streaming

vast meadow
gentle acorn
#

Yeah

vast meadow
#

then cpu doesnt matter lol

gentle acorn
#

Alright

#

What about with VR would it help?

vast meadow
#

ye your 9400f is def bottlenecking your 2080 super a bit

gentle acorn
#

Alright

#

Would it be enough though to go with the new i7 over the i5?

vast meadow
#

for gaming and some streaming, not imo

gentle acorn
#

Alright I’ll just go with the i5 then thanks

vast meadow
#

yw

gentle acorn
#

I could definitely go with the i7 i just dont want to spend too much money on the upgrade lol

vast meadow
#

yeah id definitely go i5 then

gentle acorn
#

Thats $655 for the i5, a motherboard, and the liquid cooler

#

Yeah

#

I went with the MSI Z690 -A PRO that uses DDR4 memory

#

I have the Z390 version and liked it

vast meadow
gentle acorn
#

Yeah

#

I have 4x8GB DDR4 which is why i dont want to get DDR5 since thats a lot more as well…

vast meadow
#

fair

#

what speed ddr4 is it?

shy wyvern
gentle acorn
#

Mines 3200MHz

#

Cool

vast meadow
#

that should be fine yeah

gentle acorn
#

Yeah

shy wyvern
#

RIP money

#

$20 off at least

vast meadow
#

Micro center?

gentle acorn
#

Oof im not even getting $20 off XD

shy wyvern
#

Yep, microcenter denver

vast meadow
#

Ahh fair

limber dragon
#

damn, that's a cheap ass board

gentle acorn
#

Im not sure if I’ll buy from Microcenter or Newegg

shy wyvern
#

Pretty happy with it

gentle acorn
#

I might have to look at mine then

shy wyvern
#

$20 cheaper then $20 off because I bought CPU + mobo

vast meadow
shy wyvern
#

I already got things like the MSI thunderbolt card and stuff

gentle acorn
#

This is what I’ll be getting

shy wyvern
#

For my z370 a pro board

limber dragon
#

giga elite ddr4 would have been 👌

vast meadow
gentle acorn
#

Also whats ud

vast meadow
gentle acorn
#

Literally never heard the term before now lol

limber dragon
#

ultra durable, its like the tuf line for asus

vast meadow
shy wyvern
#

We're looking at sub $230 boards

gentle acorn
#

Alright

shy wyvern
#

Oh btw

#

Mines the wifi version of the board, doesn't really distinguish it on the receipt

#

Its $220 at the Denver microcenter

vast meadow
shy wyvern
#

Still the most expensive motherboard I've ever bought

#

My z370 a pro was $80

#

(refurbished from MSI)

gentle acorn
#

Mine was $120

shy wyvern
#

Waiting for my dark rock 4 lga 1700 mounting bracket is going to be torture

#

I have the CPU and ram ready

gentle acorn
#

So also most expensive for whatever i get lol

#

Im going to buy my motherbord and cooler first then buy the CPU last

shy wyvern
#

Smart

#

I have a $90 cooler

#

I just need a mounting kit

gentle acorn
#

Mines $110

shy wyvern
#

Not buying a new one when I can wait a week for a mounting kit

gentle acorn
#

Would i need to get a bracket for the arctic cooler or does it already have one for it? I saw it saying that you need to contact suppurt

#

Support*

limber dragon
#

remember the pcie 4 price hike for x570?

shy wyvern
#

My current Mobo has a 6+2...

#

This one has 14 power stages

gentle acorn
#

Oh wait i need to make sure i dont need a new PSU…

#

Uhh

shy wyvern
#

You shouldn't

#

Wait question for you guys

gentle acorn
#

Its a 60 watt increase lol

shy wyvern
#

If I have 8x2 CPU, can I just use 8?

#

Like for CPU pins

#

I think I only have 8 pins

#

On my PSU

#

For CPU power

shy wyvern
#

I can't really afford a new PSU

gentle acorn
#

Oh cool

#

Oof

shy wyvern
gentle acorn
#

So I just checked I’ll be fine about PSU power

shy wyvern
#

I'm trying to make sure we don't need 16 pin CPU power Luna lol

gentle acorn
#

Oh

shy wyvern
#

Look at the board

#

It has 16 pin CPU power but they're split into 2. 12600k shouldn't need both I don't think

gentle acorn
#

Isnt that only for overclocking though?

shy wyvern
#

I think it's for the power hungry 12900k

gentle acorn
#

My motherboard has one

#

Which im not using

shy wyvern
#

And is it msi? Does it work with only 1 populated?

gentle acorn
#

It has one 6 slot only which is not populated

shy wyvern
#

I guess I've never used a board with more than 8 pins

gentle acorn
#

Though also my CPU isnt a K…

shy wyvern
gentle acorn
#

Interesting

shy wyvern
#

I love how all of us with 6 threads went "nope, new CPU time"

#

My 6c/t 8600k is feeling it. Especially for a code compile

#

At least it's running at 5.2ghz

gentle acorn
#

Yeah

#

Im looking forward to actually being able to hyperthread

shy wyvern
#

Oh thank goodness

#

The thunderbolt pins are the same

gentle acorn
#

Also something that was kinda interesting was when i first built my PC i took it to microcenter to get my PC fixed after screwing it up and they said they had never seen the 6 pin connector before

shy wyvern
#

I have an MSI thunderbolt card and was worried the thunderbolt pins would be different

#

Yeah tbh I've never seen a 6 pin CPU connector before

#

Ive seen 4 though

gentle acorn
#

I dont know what id even use thunderbolt for

shy wyvern
#

My old i5 6400 system (my sister has it now with a 2gb 1050) had only 4 pin CPU power

limber dragon
#

each 8 pin will handle ~400w, so unless your 12600k is going to be pulling 400w for extended periods of time, you wont need the 2nd 8 pin

shy wyvern
#

Wait the 12900k doesn't even pull that much

#

Why tf is there 2 full 8 pins?m

gentle acorn
#

Its intended for overclocking

limber dragon
shy wyvern
#

Can you even reach 400 on a 12900k without frying the thing??

gentle acorn
#

So if i were to not even use the power connector would it be fine if not overclocking?

shy wyvern
#

You can overclock a 12600k on 400 watts

vast meadow
limber dragon
#

2 8 pins are better than 1 8 pin - Marketing department

shy wyvern
#

I was just worried since some cpus that only require 4 pins won't boot without 8

#

Was worries this was like thag

#

Like my i5 6400 is in a 4 pin motherboard

#

Which supports 200 watts apparently

#

But if I put it in an 8 pin I don't think it'll boot with only 4 pins

limber dragon
shy wyvern
#

Yeah it's weird

#

I was trying to get my sister a board with an nvme slot

shy wyvern
#

You need some CPU power in at least

gentle acorn
#

Im not even sure if my PSU has a CPU power supply

#

Cable*

shy wyvern
#

I also have a 6500T system running an mc server 24/7 and it only has a 4 pin as well. But that cpu has max power pull of 35 watts

shy wyvern
#

You have to be

severe pivot
gentle acorn
#

I just have motherboard power

#

CPU isnt connected

shy wyvern
#

What

#

Wait

#

Do you have a 12 volt only PSU?

gentle acorn
#

I’ll see

shy wyvern
#

How many pins is your motherboard power

gentle acorn
#

24 i think

shy wyvern
#

Then you have to have CPU power in

#

At least 4 pins

gentle acorn
#

Wait would CPU power be 4 of those pins? I have 6 pins right next to the CPU which are not occupied

limber dragon
#

OEM boards like to hide power pins

shy wyvern
#

Can you show us a picture?

gentle acorn
#

Im not home atm and wont be till tomorrow

#

Its my dads day

#

And my PC is at my moms

shy wyvern
#

But yours seems to be standard board

gentle acorn
#

Mines a MSI Z390 -A PRO

limber dragon
shy wyvern
#

I've seen a 12 volt conversion on a Dell board

#

Literally has 10 pins going into board. No other power cables from PSU

#

The sata power came from ports on the motherboard

#

The GPU didn't need pcie power since it was 1650

#

And there was no CPU power

#

Really really weird system

limber dragon
#

most likely referencing gamers nexus video right? The 12vo systems I see also use 12v for the cd/dvd reader and other in case rgb

shy wyvern
#

Nah, my mom bought it as a birthday present for one of my cousins

#

The computer didn't work when we got it

#

The 10 pin was loose

#

I looked through it intrigued. Motherboard cables did sata power to the DVD drive and the HDD, didn't come from the PSU. No CPU power.

#

It was an i3 10100 system

limber dragon
#

the 12vo systems I've seen always had more than the "main" cable

shy wyvern
#

This one didn't. The other cables came from pinned headers on the motherboard

#

Like it has 2 sata power headers that you plug into the motherboard

hoary echo
#

Is having a CPU pinned at 95 degrees for 4 hours bad for it?

shy wyvern
#

Yes

#

I'd say anything over 90 is not good at all

subtle crow
limber dragon
#

if its not overclocked, its perfectly fine

#

it'll throttle clocks and voltage to remain safe

gentle acorn
#

I looked at my PSU it has a 4 pin connector not 6 pin for CPU power

shy wyvern
vast meadow
#

No harm will happen to cpu if no oc, cuz throttle

gentle acorn
#

Sounds like just 4+4 pin

shy wyvern
#

We you get your z690 board just plug it all into CPU power 1

gentle acorn
#

Alright

shy wyvern
#

You have an OEM system rn?

gentle acorn
#

This would be it right?

#

I forgot what OEM means

hoary echo
shy wyvern
#

It's custom parts basically

gentle acorn
#

Nope i built mine

subtle crow
#

getting a laptop cooling pad stopped it from thermal throttling nearly as much

#

and I only got like a 15$ pad

#

the nicer ones are probably a lot more effective

vast meadow
# hoary echo Laptop

laptop cpus are desinged to run that hot, you could probably undervolt it a bit tho

hoary echo
#

I wish I could undervolt it

#

But sadly I cant

subtle crow
#

I can't on my HP laptop either

#

I turned off turbo boost for awhile which from what I recall dropped the temps and power usage quite a bit

#

but eventually I decided performance was preferable over low temps

#

High recommend a laptop cooling pad

vast meadow
vernal cosmos
#

Try using throttlestop

#

Oh pato just said

#

Anyway I go sleep

#

Me very tired

vast meadow
#

Go it's 3am dummg

vernal cosmos
#

3:30

I have tried xtu, throttle stop, quickcpu

subtle crow
#

same thing with me

#

on the 6700HQ

vast meadow
#

Shame

subtle crow
#

also got the HP bios though, that may be my problem

#

not entirely sure

naive pendant
#

Hi. I'm new to this discord. Is this the section where I can get some help with upgrading some parts of my pc that are compatible with my current graphics card?

vast meadow
pliant cypress
naive pendant
vast meadow
naive pendant
#

yeah

vast meadow
#

I would actually try and upgrade your gpu first

naive pendant
vast meadow
naive pendant
#

im taking it apart and putting it back together in a new case

naive pendant
vast meadow
#

Ahh

naive pendant
# vast meadow Ahh

yeah but since im upgrading that the wife has given me permission to upgrade a few things so

#

what would you recommend for a gpu and cpu?

vast meadow
naive pendant
vast meadow
naive pendant
#

like 300 after the motherboard

#

my wife has agreed to a couple hundred for each

vast meadow
hoary echo
#

3060 ti's go for about 1200 where i live :(

vast meadow
#

Shame but that's probs ebay pricing

naive pendant
#

do you have a suggestion for another step up motherboard?

hoary echo
#

nah that's just gaming tech in australia prices

severe pivot
#

my mobo supports 2 cpu cables. and ihad one plugged in, and didnt know exactly what the other was for. when i googled it said it was not needed. but after i plugged it in i havent crashed yet

vast meadow
severe pivot
#

so i only needed 8 and 4

vast meadow
#

Nah you only need 8 pin

severe pivot
#

wack. does that sound like the power supply issue you thought before?

#

well ihad an 8

#

and it kept crashing

#

now that i have both in there. i havent yet...

severe pivot
#

1000w

vast meadow
#

What 1000w

severe pivot
#

oh lemme see

vast meadow
#

And what cpu and gpu

severe pivot
#

CORSAIR HX Series HX1200

#

1200w actually my mistake

#

Windows version: Windows 10, 10.0, version 2009, build: 19043
Windows dir: C:\Windows
Hardware: ASUS, ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC., PRIME Z490-A
CPU: GenuineIntel 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz 8664, level: 6
16 logical processors, active mask: 65535
RAM: 34223710208 bytes (31.9GB)

vast meadow
#

That's a great psu

severe pivot
#

yeah i wanted to make sure i got a good one

vast meadow
#

So i don't think you've got a problem unless it's faulty

#

I mean you could swap the 8 pin you had plugged in and maybe it was a wonky cable but idk

severe pivot
#

true. if i crash again thats my next choice

#

i also

#

ddu

#

my pc again

#

and then i installed driver directly thru driver install

naive pendant
#

or can you give another suggestion on a better one?

naive pendant
vast meadow
#

Np

supple sedge
#

3600mhz c18 or 3200 mhz c16?

grizzled bloom
#

Links?

#

And for what cpu?

vast meadow
#

If ryzen, preferably neither

naive pendant
# vast meadow Np

it will support the graphics card once i upgrade it right? (i have bad anxiety too so i have to triple check everything)

vast meadow
grizzled bloom
#

You could put a rtx 3090 in s system with an i5 960 (first gen)

#

Not that I recommend that

supple sedge
# grizzled bloom Links?

Dont have the link pulled up but its corsair vengeance 3600mhz and c18 vs 3200mhz and c16. its gonna be with a 5800x

grizzled bloom
#

Neither for a 5800X. Latency is high so games will stutter.

supple sedge
#

do you have any recommended ram? rgb is preferred

grizzled bloom
#

16gb?

supple sedge
#

either 16 or 32 yeah

#

with the microcenter sale i have a spare 100 in my budget now so i can afford 32 in my build

#

not sure if 32 is overkill or not for primarily gaming w

grizzled bloom
#

32gb is overkill for anything less than Microsoft flight sim near max settings

supple sedge
#

gotcha

#

and how do i tell the difference between these timings? are some c16s different from others?

#

cl16* my b

grizzled bloom
#

It's more than just cas latency, it's the other primary timings too. The ones I'm recommending are 16-18-18 while the ones you asked about before are 18-22-22

supple sedge
#

ah theres a bunch of timings

#

sweet ill aim for the rgb one you linked, thanks for the help

shy wyvern
#

Ugh be quiet hasn't even responded to my request for new mounting bracket yet Eevee_cry

gentle acorn
#

Oof

#

So would i need to buy a new PSU for the i5-12600k since i only have a 4+4 pin connector for CPU power?

restive minnow
#

Odd to ask here, but is NewEgg the only place selling DDR5 in the US? I've not seen it anywhere else

rocky beacon
#

Every other major retailer will be selling it

restive minnow
#

will be, eventually. But currently?

rocky beacon
#

Amazon is currently selling DDR5

#

Nothing is in stock though

severe pivot
rocky beacon
#

Corsair is selling their DDR5 on their website

restive minnow
#

nod Generally speaking, I imagine it's not gonna be easy to get RAM for a bit

restive minnow
#

Man. I've got every component coming this week...except for RAM.

warm bolt
#

If 4x8 ram is "daisy-chained" why does it get more FPS than 2x16?

burnt spear
mild jackal
#

There are certain use cases that benefit from > 1 rank per channel given identical clocks/timings, yes.

#

That's really what all those "2x8 vs 4x8" videos are about

warm bolt
#

I saw an article saying 4x8 ram could get you a few more FPS and went to some youtube vids on it and 4x8 does seem to be slightly higher in the 1% low. Within what could probably be considered a margin of error probably but when it's consistent across different titles is it?

mild jackal
#

Watch a gamersnexus video on it

heady root
#

can someone tell me a good cpu pairing for a 1660s

limber dragon
#

3600x/3700x/5600x and 10600k/10700k/11600k/11700k

finite elm
limber dragon
#

3600 non x has god awful stock boosting, I would not recommend it

finite elm
#

3600x is the more expensive than a 5600x on newegg. so unless you buy used or at microcenter, it ain't worth it

mild jackal
#

For someone asking a question like that - I'd just give a single recommendation or two depending on what the current best deal is

limber dragon
finite elm
#

sorry, prices were wrong, on newegg a 3600X is 280$, a 5600X is 309$

#

at Microcenter, 3600x might not even be in stock and a 5600x is 280$

cursive epoch
#

one day 5600g was at 199

#

at microcenter

finite elm
#

Don't waste that extra 50$ on the 3600X for "extra boost speed"

cursive epoch
#

wew

#

just get 5600x msrp at that point

#

or on sale

limber dragon
#

yeah, I was getting prices then you posted them

finite elm
#

That extra money is wasted when you could either invest more in your GPU or Storage. or simply just a better CPU in general instead of just worrying about the boost clocks 😛

cursive epoch
#

better yet get newer cpu at same price

limber dragon
#

to each their own, they have a ballpark of what cpus would be best

finite elm
cursive epoch
#

i wasn't seein it

#

oddly enough

shy wyvern
#

I have 4 single rank sticks

#

They act like 2 dual rank sticks in dual channel when I use all 4

shy wyvern
#

Also today at microcenter, they literally had like 80 5800x when I got there on sale for $299 and when I left 30 minutes later the shelf was half empty

#

Everyone was buying a 5800x today

hollow thorn
#

deal was too good

shy wyvern
#

Legit I got worried about the line this morning

#

there was like 60 people waiting in line

#

a few went for gpus but everyone went for the 5800k...

#

left the alder lake cpus for the most part

#

someone else was talking to me laughing about grabbing a 12700k and being the only one

#

Also I've seen no one buy a ddr5 board irl for an alderlake chip

#

When I get my mounting kit and stuff, I'm going to see how the cpu performs ecore only.

#

I think it's going to be interesting having no pcores enabled

restive minnow
#

I picked up a 12900K and GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS MASTER. Snagged a be quiet! 280mm cooler and a Dark Base 900 for a case.

#

Still trying to track down RAM. Just can't catch it in stock thus far.

shy wyvern
#

and bequiet hasn't even accepted my inquiry yet for getting a new 1700 mounting kit

#

wondering if I should buy a cheap cooler to hold me over LOL

cursive epoch
#

12900k do be popular huh

#

It's not a good value at all lel

#

Cause 12700k does the same things as it does as well ngl

shy wyvern
#

12700k is worst value imo

#

I think there's a reason Intel didn't send it to reviewers

cursive epoch
#

12600K would be best value outta all

grizzled bloom
#

12600k competing with the 5800X basically

cursive epoch
#

the e-cores really helps

grizzled bloom
#

Definitely

cursive epoch
#

intel manages to make it cheaper than 5800x

grizzled bloom
#

From what I saw the 12400 should be phenomenal too

cursive epoch
#

and technically has more cores

dim cloak
#

But need to run windows 11 to get that power out of it tho

cursive epoch
#

12400 lacks e-cores but

#

I expect it to get 5600x perf

#

lol no

#

You don't actually need it

#

Win 11 gives you less perf actually, funny enough

grizzled bloom
cursive epoch
#

^

#

W11 atm is even bleh for adl

#

All promises Intel bluffed about amounts to nothing

dim cloak
#

So what about the proper e core p core power distribution that was prioritized in win 11 or was that to show it was integrated in the os

cursive epoch
#

It translates to nothing irl atm

#

Cause all cores are still used at once

grizzled bloom
#

There's a few bugs like certain games crashing on launch but you can disable the e-cores and they run

main pulsar
#

no ones really sure what is the cause of what yet, as everything this generation is practically beta

cursive epoch
#

main pulsar
#

so everyones pointing fingers at hardware / software / OS / drivers

#

but nothing's pollished yet lol

cursive epoch
#

The headache of new tech

even win 11 is basically

Yeah literally everything is new at this point

main pulsar
#

just wait till we gen intel dGPUs lmaooooo

#

add another headache to the mix

cursive epoch
#

I can't imagine the mess

#

It's gonna be a big mess

grizzled bloom
#

Intel engineers are hopeful. I talked to one at a best buy drop. They should have samples out to game devs by now.

main pulsar
#

hey!

#

epic

cursive epoch
#

nice

#

Why I'm so interested in the arc stuff is cause they're gonna come to laptops too lel

grizzled bloom
#

The hardware was basically done and it was the drivers they were working on then.

cursive epoch
#

Also ofc the rdna2 stuff in 6000 mobile

grizzled bloom
#

They had a list of games they could launch internally

cursive epoch
#

I can definitely see 1650 perf igpu

#

If not 1050 ti

grizzled bloom
#

RDNA2 is going to be great once they hit the market

cursive epoch
#

even early leaks says it's better than mx350

I feel like steam deck is a preview and the best is yet to come

Does anyone here think upgrading to ddr5 worth it. I have a Ryzen 7 5800x paired with RX 6700 XT in ddr4 32GB 3200Mhz

vernal cosmos

If you want faster ram get a 32gb kit of 3600c16 crucial ballistix

Oh so DDR5 is going through what DDR4 went when it released? Where you can wait until is actually worth upgrading

Yea I was thinking that to cause I already have the 5800x which is very fast cpu

5800X is still pretty good

12600K perf give or take

prisma gust
#

I see

vast meadow
#

Z690 boards spensive too

gentle acorn
#

There are boards with DDR4

cursive epoch
#

But perf is murdered

#

Soooo

#

Might as well stay with ryzen or 10/11th gen Intel if one already has that stuff

#

Or heck ryzen is better value cause of ddr4 and b550

#

Compared to alder lake ofc

hollow thorn
cursive epoch
#

I did see 1% and 0.1% lows in games take a somewhat steep drop tho

#

Not enough to be stuttering, but you definitely lose some smoothness

#

Perhaps saying "murdered" was an overstatement lel

vast meadow
gentle acorn
#

Alright

vast meadow
#

But rest weren't that much

gentle acorn
#

Do you think there may be cheaper DDR5 models out by next month? Maybe I’ll look into getting DDR5 if it is

cursive epoch
#

Nope

gentle acorn
#

Alright

cursive epoch
#

DDR5 atm is limited to Z690

#

So still gonna be expensive for a big while

gentle acorn
#

Im getting a Z690

#

Alright

gentle acorn
#

Alright

#

Guess for now then I’ll just deal with that since it doesnt sound like itd be too bad of a performance drop

hollow thorn
#

Still need tunes testing, but anandtech testing at jedec showed near 0 difference in most games

#

And again far cry being an outlier with like 10% difference

gentle acorn
#

Would it effect COD or VR much you think? Thats the main reason im even considering upgrading

hollow thorn
#

Need more testing

gentle acorn
#

Alright

I feel the same way about ddr4 on alder lake

vast meadow
#

Not as dumb

#

Makes sense

#

Considering there's not even like stock of ddr5 lol

vernal cosmos
#

Doesnt make sense to change board and ram later on for better perf on the same cpu

vast meadow
#

People just might not change board and ram :o

#

Lot of ppl won't upgrade for like 3-5 years so

vernal cosmos
#

Well those are just my personal thoughts tho

vast meadow
#

Intel might have new socket by then

vernal cosmos
#

Im not saying everyone has to follow em

#

Just my pov

vast meadow
#

Fair

#

But ddr5 is legit like no stock

#

Nothing on wegg in stock

Amazon has no sign from what i can tell but Amazon has bad filters so idrk

already out

velvet terrace

sorry let me rephrase it

when like will it be cheap lol

usually a year

velvet terrace
#

alright thanks

hollow thorn
#

ddr3 took around a year to get good, ddr4 took around a year to get good (relative pricing)

velvet terrace
#

ywah

#

alright so should i just get a good set of 3600

#

or just stick with 8 gigs

#

for another year

hollow thorn
#

If you're sticking to a ddr4 platform, 2x8 3600c16 will be neat if its unlocked

Would you all be interested in seeing ecore only performance?

#

Assuming it lets me disable the P cores

subtle crow

Did you get the i5, i7, or i9?

severe pivot
digital kernel
#

If nothing else you can set the software to run on the e cores in windows

shy wyvern
#

You can disable cores in bios, may be able to disable all pcores

#

Just need my mounting bracket to come in

#

Est 3 days

subtle crow
#

the E cores have about as much single core performance as a skylake thread, right?

shy wyvern
#

A full Skylake core yeah

#

On par IPC

#

But they only clock to like 3.6ghz

#

What's funny is that's basically an entire i5 6400

#

They practically have a modern 6 core with a 6400 assistant cpu

#

I have a i5 6400 actually

#

Would be an interesting comparison

#

Ecore only vs i5 6400

subtle crow
#

I'm sure

shy wyvern
#

I like Intel's strategy

#

"Just add another lower power CPU to it"

subtle crow
#

it is kinda like that when you think of it

shy wyvern
#

I also have a 6500T too

#

It runs my 24/7 mc server

#

30 watt limit I think

subtle crow
#

I'd be interested to see how much better intel alder lake handles background tasks with other processor heavy tasks

shy wyvern
#

What's funny is that even though those CPU cores are 1/4 the size and 1/8th the power draw of Intel's Pcores

#

They're only half the size of Ryzen 5000 CPU cores

#

That's how chonky the P cores are

subtle crow
#

10nm vs 7nm I guess

cursive epoch
#

Nah, not really

#

Intel's 10 is actually denser than tsmc's 7 that amd uses

shy wyvern
#

Yeah and intel could make chips that are power efficient with the process

#

instead they went

#

*** M A K E T H E M B I G G E R***

#

It's kinda crazy how much bigger the new cpus are lol

#

Do you guys think that we'll see ecore only models for desktops? I think it'd be a great opportunity for the T series of processor (25-35 watt cpus)

cursive epoch
#

Yes

#

Wait e-core only?

#

Nah, I doubt it

shy wyvern
#

I think we might

#

but probably for mobile only

#

considering the ecores can pull just 4 watts each

#

we may see more powerful 4 core 4 thread super efficient laptops

#

big little is going to be amazing for laptop battery life

#

I wonder if the scheduler will act differently if windows is in "power saving" mode instead of just downclocking the cpu

grizzled bloom
#

12100 maybe as an all e-core, that could be interesting.

"all e-core" or "all p-core"

What CPU did you buy?

warm bolt
#

What should I be looking for in a mobo for a 12700k? That I would also potentially try mining with. @vast meadow

cursive epoch
#

I would do 12600K instead if you haven't got that thing before

warm bolt
#

Already arriving tomorrow

cursive epoch
#

Mhm, okeh

#

Then look for a mobo with ddr5

#

But a lil problem is the ram is outta stock rn

warm bolt
#

Was trying to decide if I should go ddr5 or 4. Just watched benchmarks that ddr5 barely does anything over 4 rn.

cursive epoch
#

You do lose quite a chunk of perf in games

#

I've seen 0.1% lows having big difference

#

That metric of fps is what dictates how smooth the actually game runs

warm bolt
#

Yeah I know that much. I know basic outline of parts and what they do just not all the little features to look for.

grizzled bloom
#

It's mostly jedec ddr5 right now so you'll have to overclock it by hand to get the expected performance

cursive epoch
#

5200c36 isn't too bad imo

#

But ocing it defo helps

#

We dunno how well they oc yet so it's an unknown space

grizzled bloom
#

Yeah that's not horrible, a little lower latency than jedec

cursive epoch
#

Which die is best and blah blah

#

A 5200c36, 32 gigs kit goes for 299 atm

#

Basically everyone has it at that price

warm bolt
#

Huh ddr4 performs slightly better on a few games but on more of the games ddr5 lows are higher FPS by a lot.

#

Just watched game benchmarks.

grizzled bloom
#

It depends on the reviewer and what kits they use

cursive epoch
#

Across the board, I see em use the mentioned kits up there

grizzled bloom
#

And also how much memory speed affects the individual games

cursive epoch
#

5200c36 everywhere

#

And the comparison to ddr4 is mainly 3600c16

#

Sometimes 3200c16

grizzled bloom
#

Or 3200 c14

cursive epoch
#

yeh

warm bolt
#

ECC something I should be looking for?

grizzled bloom
#

Only for workstations and servers

cursive epoch
#

^

#

Tho ddr5 already has on-dimm ecc built in

#

But ya shouldn't worry about it regardless

#

It's just new addition to ddr5

cursive epoch
#

Get the aorus

#

The vrms basically looks the same

#

but the aorus is cheaper so yeah

warm bolt
#

Yeah I was looking at stuff and basically seemed the same to me. I just didn't know if there was something I was missing. Or like if gen 2 was old.

#

The networking speed up to is higher on the aorus as well.

#

Another question tho. How is synching RGB with different brands?

cursive epoch
#

They're basically equal to me, wifi wise

#

Cause all Z690 does come with wifi built into the chipset

warm bolt
#

Yeah I just meant the up to 2.4GbE vs 2.5GbE.

cursive epoch
#

Gigabyte uses rgb fusion, while msi uses uh dragon something? iirc

#

Oh that's just ethernet

warm bolt
#

Also aorus seems to be doing better in the benchmarks I'm watching for the most part.

grizzled bloom
cursive epoch
#

Ah

warm bolt
#

Yeah I know that was ethernet I just meant the speed is faster. Could be very minimal speeds or just marketing but was js.

cursive epoch
#

It wouldn't matter unless your internet is that fast xD

grizzled bloom
#

Most things promising faster speeds and latency are just marketing

cursive epoch
#

2.5 gigabit is like 2500 mbps

warm bolt
#

Yeah I meant though like do you need RGB apps for every different brand then?

cursive epoch
#

Mhm

warm bolt
#

That's annoying lol.

grizzled bloom
#

There's third party apps that sometimes work

warm bolt
#

Welp looks like I'm basically ending up with bloatware anyway.

cursive epoch
#

MSI Center for MSI, AORUS RGB FUSION is for AORUS

#

Yeah openRGB sometimes work

#

I like Asus myself the most, Aura Sync is nice

grizzled bloom
#

Openrgb still doesn't like msi. There was a few boards that got the rgb bricked.

cursive epoch
#

I doubt the gigabyte will have much issues

grizzled bloom
#

You can configure it so msi works but it's "at your own risk"

#

Signalrgb was another one, but feels very bloaty with how big it is

warm bolt
grizzled bloom
#

B&H is fairly reputable

#

They probably don't know exactly what date they're allowed to sell it, manufacturers can change things last minute.

cursive epoch
#

^

warm bolt
#

Well the gigabyte is bundled with norton. And honestly I might be willing to get a more expensive CPU partly for RGB and partly bc I don't want annoying AV popups anymore.

cursive epoch
#

You don't need to install it

#

It's optional bundle

warm bolt
#

Ahh

grizzled bloom
#

You'll just find it as an optional install when you use their driver update tools

hey uh so

I just realised that I have 8 GB of ram installed after I installed my liquid cooler

#

So I'm missing 8

#

That rams lights werent running so I just tried both rams in second slot and they both work

#

However 2-3 slots together just dont boot

#

I tried resetting bios settings but it didnt work

#

I also tried to clean ram slot 4 with a brush but it also didnt work

#

Theres no visible damage

vast meadow
#

Try 1 stick in slot 2, see if it works, move to slot 4, see if it works, same with the other stick

#

Just try 1 stick at a time for the moment

spiral fulcrum
#

Ok uh I just reinstalled it again and it now shows up

#

On 2-4 slots as normal

#

Thats so strange

#

Because on second try rams lights were on but it wasnt on bios nor windows

vast meadow
#

🤷‍♂️

shy wyvern
#

Can we talk about how jank the PCIE layout is for z690?

vast meadow
#

Why is it jank?

shy wyvern
#

Because wtf

#

The main 16 slot is 5.0

#

The nvme is half 4.0

#

And the other slots are 3.0

#

I've never seen a board with 3 generation of PCIE on it before

#

And especially for my new board

#

Slots 1 2 and 4 for nvme are 4.0

#

Slot 3 is 3.0

spiral fulcrum
#

With that much nvme slots

#

I think its fair

#

Pcie 5.0 will be irrelevant for some time anyways

hollow thorn
#

mobo manufactures are just too lazy/cheap to buy more switches

#

I'm pretty sure chipset link PCIe 4.0 or equivalent, therefore any slots being PCIe 3.0 is them being cheap with either the traces or pcie switches imo

shy wyvern
#

Every board I've seen so far

#

Has some pcie 3.0 on it

#

Like

#

It's so weird

#

Imagine a pcie 4.0 board with pcie 2.0 on it

vast meadow

It's just funny to me that there's 3 generations of PCIE on the board, that's all

hm

the chipset itself does pcie 4.0 and 3.0

#

cpu does 5.0

#

I thought it was all 4.0

since DMI 4.0

@shy wyvern
