Discussion Raptor Lake Build Thread

Tomshardware has an article on this and your temps are expected. These are hot bois to try to cool. If you want to run it cooler at that power level, you're going to need a custom loop as that 420 is already top tier for AIO's. My NH-D15 struggles with my 13900K even at 200 watt cap. Getting...

Discussion Raptor Lake Build Thread

I'm building out some 13600K builds and noticed some significant discrepancies in the Core VID's. I have one copy in a Gigabyte Z690 motherboard that has a Core VID at 1.40 at 5.1ghz and another copy running in another gigabyte z690 with a Core VID of only 1.25 at 5.1. Is this silicon quality...

Question Upgrade 13600k with DDR4 or DDR5

After having issues with getting my Asus Z690 TUF DDR4 to work with being upgrading from a 12900K to a 13900K, I hastily bought a Z690 with DDR5 6000 C36. Needless to say the switch from DDR4 to DDR5 is underwhelming, should've just saved my money. I have DDR4 3600 C14 B die and the DDR5 is...

Question Raptor Lake - Official Thread

You da man! Works great now. Didn't know there was another bios within the motherboard with this Intel ME crap. Now I need to return the Z790 and DDR5 combo I just bought from Newegg.

Question Raptor Lake - Official Thread

OMG Thanks for the link. That's crazy! What version of Bios do I use on my Asus? I'm thinking about just bringing this CPU back to BB, tired of being a beta tester for this crap. Surprised this made it past quality control.

Question Raptor Lake - Official Thread

PSA, make sure you do a hard reset (short the RTC) on many z690 mobos that have been upgraded from Alder to Raptor. I just partially fried my 13900K somehow after replacing a 12900K in an Asus TUF Z690 Plus DDR4 motherboard. I upgraded to the latest firmware on Asus' site, shorted the RTC...

Question Is now the time to buy?

Unless it’s another repeat of Ampere release where the people who sold their 2080Ti’s for $500 were crying as they desperately tried to get a replacement for their video card. Who know with this post covid world… What’s scary is that Ada, Radeon, and Intel’s GPUs are all going to be made by...

Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

We wish.... As long as AMD is severely production constrained with producing dies for consoles and GPU's on the same process and competing with the likes of Apple and Qualcomm for fab capacity, it will never happen. Tragically this is just like the Athlon 64 days.... before Core hit and will...

Question 5800x/B550 Build, 2x16gb Dual rank 3200C16 vs single rank 3600C16?

From Toms: Going from two ranks to four ranks of memory is by far the best way to improve performance in memory-bottlenecked applications. At current memory density, that usually means having at least 32GB (even if you don’t think you’ll use that much capacity). Thanks guys for the answers...

'Intel Claws Back Desktop PC and Notebook Market Share From AMD for the First Time in Three Years' - Tom's

Amd would've been better off NOT being the supplier for the consoles. I'm pretty sure they're making much more per 5XXX chip than the severely discounted rates they're selling for Sony/MS. If all those dies went for 5XXX chips, AMD would've been steamrolling marketshare. As it is, my brother...

Kavanaugh SCOTUS Senate Judicial Hearing

When I've cornered my alcoholic patients about them breaking their sobriety and starting to drink again, this guy's behavior completely reminds me of them. WTF did they pick this guy?! Still was a sham what the dems did by sitting on the letter for supposedly so long and then leaking out just...

California ends cash bail

Grand theft is also a "non-violent" crime, so expect plenty more scum breaking into your houses and cars. Of course, if they get "caught", they'll be considered "low risk" offenders, as no one got "hurt". Once they get their little slap on the wrist, the perp will then "swear on their deity's...
