This should be interesting. I hope it will level set the basic Intel performance expectations. Those lower baseline profiles are going to gimp these chips, from what we've seen with Gigabytes updated profile. Theirs makes sense now. Then, MOGA, make overclocking great again. Has AMD done the...

Cooling is a big issue repurposing these higher end OEM SFF's. The proprietary nature of these systems make them a challenge to upgrade as HS's and fans are not plug and play. I tried a better HSF from HP, they make different TDP rated units for the same product stack, adding intake and exhaust...

Buildzoid went through an extensive series of settings on a Gigabyte Aorus z790 Extreme X with a 14900K on the newest bios. It's a long one, only watched part of it, so far, but it looks like he covered a ton of possible settings and shows their effects. It may help some...

PG - can't see the subproject here. Numbersfields tasks jumped a bit since the announcement. Ramjam picking up.

I was going to say, this is the state of BOINC these days.

I'm not sure about that game, but, you see the Gigabyte boards went ultra conservative on the Intel Baseline specs and the performance is measurable. That site you linked had data that is similar to other data I've seen posted. The difference in other games you play will vary. You may not...

Jayz moving away from EK. Pretty much going with what I have on my main system, HWL rads and an Optimus blocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ7c_HvnoUY

And returns. I was in the return window on my 14th gen and let the retailer deal with Intel or their distributor. How many will be resold through those channels? Still waiting for Intel. Trust is pretty much gone at this point but May just started. If you want one, go old school and plan on...

Yeah, I saw a spec sheet that said those high end skus top out at 1.7, iirc - crazy.

I'm not going nuts like last year. But, I did get a cheap 4060 I'll add to the gpu stuff.

Your tv likely has apps for all those services and will run them as well or better than an htpc. There is an app for Plex, too. I run the plex app through one of my tv's that way. No pc or other external device. All apps. A lot of the features the hdmi 2.1 spec is geared to gaming and much...

That pdf has an online version. It spells out Intel's own guidance is NOT a specification. iccmax - pick your config: https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/products/platforms/details/raptor-lake-s/13th-generation-core-processors-datasheet-volume-1-of-2/vcccore-dc-specifications/...

The 4060 fit in my z2 g4 sff fine. No issues. I had to mod the g5 sff. Its shorter. I moved it to an Antec case that's an oem knockoff, about the size of a g4, which allowed me to use a 12th gen cpu/mb and should be easier to upgrade later.

Intel has no one to lame but themselves. They have been saying publicly what the board manufacturers are doing is in spec for their cpu's. They've been saying it for years. Intel allowed them to push the chips with MB designed "normal" or "default" settings as they both benefit from the bigger...

That sucks. Will the 4060 go in the HPZ2? It's the best bang for buck in the LP form factor, in my opinion. You might be surprised how much more gpu processing power it will bring to the table. It's crazy fast compared to the other LP options. The optiplex was a single slot due to the position...

100% and well worth the $30 to do so.

I like it. It reminds me of Black and White without the giant creature and magic. You can see some Total War elements, too. So, it feels familiar. And, I like the middle ages setting. Low tech, "tech". It's slow to start and the mechanics are not always intuitive. You'll make mistakes, and...

Intel should give us a 'baseline" set of benchmarks using the popular consumer tools available and make a concerted effort to normalize all other variables. They should be completely transparent in all material and settings used. So, we can see what they expect their CPU's to do at their stack...

I got it on Steam. Fast download and right into it. No issues. Let it sit on pause for an hour or two and came right back to it. Quit and went to do some yard work. Loaded back into the save, no issues. I'm at 4k ultra settings frame capped to 120. We'll see how it goes as the world progresses...

Steam or GOG versions better, opinions? Any real difference in updates?

All bios updates have risk. I wouldn't update any bios unless it addresses an issue I'm experiencing. I have used beta bios updates. The news here is not "beta" it's the mb mfg adding a clearly labeled setting that imposes cpu mfg "stock" settings. Hopefully. It'll be interesting if all mb...

It'll fit fine in the Z2 G4. Getting heat out of that small box is a challenge. IIRC, the psu expels some and that will be close to the gpu. The cpu cooler will do fine for the cpu. Normal use it'll be fine. But, temper your expectations. If running hard it'll get hot and may throttle.

EK products on sale everywhere?

ASUS updates BIOS. About time, I say. I hope this becomes standard practice for all MB makers. https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-adds-intel-baseline-profile-to-its-z790-motherboards-amid-core-i9-stability-issues Also, Tom's leaks a new CPU, the i9-3900K...

That should work fine. The 4060 is the best LP option, especially at it's price point. Heat is the big challenge with these particular setups.

Pretty sure those HP systems will only run at Intel spec speeds. So, don't expect 3200, even if you have a matched set. You may be limited to 2666. So, use a slower kit with better timings, if it matters. Running in dual channel will help a little. Getting to 16G will help in some cases. So, an...

Sunday zero dark thirty.

No, I never touched anything in the BIOS when I tried for two weeks to tweak the "reduced clocks, voltages, etc." Yes, and FAR BELOW THEIR STOCK SETTINGS. Garbage chip is garbage. Temps were good down there, tho. Barely in the low 60's running nearly 4 minutes of C23 at 4500/4000. But, it...

I think it's something Intel has done, for sure. Or, quality is just out the window. Returned the 14900KS for instability. Chip was garbage, even at reduced clocks, voltages, etc. No settings were stable on mine. Even chrome crashed when clocks were down to 4000. RAM dropped to 4800. Nothing...

I'm running 20mm M4's into an AC Black Ice Nemesis using Noctua's A12x15's. Just pulled one to verify as it's been a long time since I worked on that one. This little kit has been awesome for odds and ends since it has M3 and M4 of various lengths. M3 20mm right below the M4. These should...

Zero.

There's a week left until the next 2024 Challenge. CPU only. Starting to get warm here, so, I cut back to a single box running CPU tasks.

I don't disagree that the practice is garbage, one sided and anti consumer. One of the key provisions of the EULA is the jurisdiction of the agreement, on top of all teh one way clauses. The arbitration laws have been in the federal code for decades. Nothing to stop one from filing whatever...

The US Constitution has no bearing on private matters. It's purpose is to define the relationship between the people and our government. So, there is no "trial by jury" right. And the gov't isn't shooting you in the head if you don't click the box on a gaming EULA or app TOS. And civil laws...

Is it the same for a TOS for the online service's? So, can the EU folks go ahead and sue these folks, please? Does a "class action" lawsuit exist there? Or, has that already happened?

Every single TOS, right? It's 100% their sandbox.

I have a dedicated work PC I set up. There are several different company's systems I connect to and they all have different security schemes. So, whatever they need to manage the can on that system. I don't connect to Netflix on that pc. But, we have tons of video we access and I sometimes have...

ID-COOLING IS-55 ARGB CPU Cooler Low Profile 57mm Height

The FCC abandoned oversight of "broadband" in 2017. What exactly is broken now that requires the FCC to vote on (fix) "net neutrality"? Here's the text for the upcoming vote - only 434 pages of light reading. A fraction of Obamacare. If it's national security, then let's get a national...

The problem there is government stepped in to create the problem, assure no competition for the ISP's investment, then had to solve the problem they created. That's not how the "free market" works. Free market means no regulation, not government enforced monopolies. That's the issue most of us...
