Yes! Hell yes! I've been disabling it in every Intel CPU I've ever owned as a matter of course. Games are just slower with it on (for cpus with enough native cores for the game in question).
Seems 8 threads is a plateu right now for gaming and...
The K processors for Arrow Lake are speculated to come out at some point 2H of 2024, more likely Q4.
I'm holding out for one of those models, my Skylake is getting a bit long in the tooth.
Bolded part is your answer.
Also probably he has a better chip/ better silicon quality, than you.
IMO you're toying too much with your system for a number that most likely wouldn't benefit you in gaming.
5.9ghz vs 5.7ghz is a measly ~3,5%...
I’ll probably finally move from my 8700K to the top of the line Arrow Lake at launch. Arrow Lake and RTX 5090 has been my plan for some time. I have no idea what kind of improvement to expect over 14th gen offerings however.
While I definitely don't disagree, that pricing won't make any sense. Not saying most of 40-series pricing made sense either but they did end up having to do a Super series to somewhat course correct in some segments, most notably the 4070 Super...
They are not called "Ngreedia for nothing". I am not surprised by their crazy pricing anymore.
Watch them sell the 5090 for $2500 and say well it's faster than the 4090 and "inflation". Big wallet epeen buyers will still buy it.
And then...
Holy hell...1.6v vcore?
I find it ironic that we moved away from Netburst and back to the P6 architecture due to power consumption/thermal issues, and now here we are with processors that run as micro furnaces to the point that an AIO is a...
1.6V is wild
Really looks like the "Baseline Profile" is a big ass-covering move.
Intel can't admit if they were overoptimistic with RL boost clocks (they'd be in a world of hurt), so they blast voltage so even the worst bins can achieve the...
And here I thought I was slowly switching back to Intel.... (sigh)
Updated the Asus BIOS's on both my Intel boxes. Good to see that my results seem normal compared to everyone else's updates. Slightly slower and still stable at the same temps as...
Yes the MB settings are just insane. It's easy enough to just set the power limit fortunately. I do it myself if I don't need the extra power. No need to heat up the PC room when it's already crushing 144fps easily. I have a budget Z790 MSI...
Intel issues preliminary statement (https://www.igorslab.de/en/intel-releases-the-13th-and-14th-generation-k-sku-processor-instability-issue-update/):
Is there an official chart/list of Intel's "Power Delivery" profiles for each Raptor Lake CPU...
You have to be a certain age to appreciate the magic of owning a copy of a movie....and that age is old enough to remember a day before VHS Rental Stores existed......back when if you didn't see a movie in the movie theater, well, there's a...
Ditch the riser cable and try it for a couple weeks if it doesn't do it anymore you know it's the riser cable.
If it still does it swap the GPU out and use it for a while with a different GPU
Before that swap the cable connection from the GPU...
Out of the blue my whole computer monitor screen goes black then says no signal. Why? What could be the issue?
It can happen at any time.
Demanding and not demanding times.
Also my fans go really fast or spin really fast after the screen goes...
I dont believe this is the issue here. Nothing to suggest there is something wrong with the design of those CPUs that make them fail at shader compilation. People run them without any issues. Those that had issues, had increasing failure rate and...
