Weird issue that I'm not sure is just specific to my rig. For some reason running Core Temp causes DPC latency spikes. No idea why it would be doing this but it definitely is Core Temp that is causing it. Peaks at 1399 using DPC Latency Checker.
My understanding was that Windows assigned threads to cores and tried to load level or optimize core usage. So why is it that when I'm running GW2(I'm sure this applies to other games as well) that only 3-4 of my 8350's cores are ever really used? GW2 has 57 threads while in game according to...
Figured I'd go ahead and post my results with my 8350. Now I do have a bunch of items(monitors and printers etc.) plugged in to the powerstrip that I had plugged in to Kill-A-Watt but they were all running at the same time so the results are what they are.
I use three different power...
What's really ass backwards is that many games released now are just not a finished product. May be due to the complexity of the games now but still. Getting a game that works completely out of the box seems to be rare these days.
So my new years resolution was this. 3 months. I won't buy...
Hopefully this means that the architecture AMD designs and sells to Sony is much more "PC friendly" then they have been in the past. Would allow developers to port games between platforms faster and more effectively. Without sacrificing so much to do so.
You can toss Intel in their if you like but it makes more sense for AMD since they have ATI. Though Intel does have the cash on hand. But seriously.. Everyone talks about how consoles just don't need to be as powerful as a PC cause they can just focus on one thing.
Why not? Have AMD have...
Well they say experience is the best teacher and few have ever done anything flawlessly from the get go in any field. So let's hope they now know that "this" part of it or "that" part just isn't working as intended so they can fix it and move on. They certainly aren't gonna just sit on their...
My god.. Thoroughbred.. That takes me back..
Idontcare, out of curiosity what sort of background do you have with this. For me it's just a hobby hence my ignorance in a lot of areas. And thank you for the detailed answer.
So I guess their is "hope" that Bulldozer can be fixed after all...
Are the revision\stepping changes a result of strictly manufacturing process improvements then? So it's GloFo that makes these changes then and not AMD?
Kinda why I'm leery about what has been promised for Piledriver. Not sure why increasing the L2 speeds is out of the realm of possibility. Unless it's just cost prohibitive. And many places have pointed to the slow L2 speeds as "part" of Bulldozers problem.
After doing a quick Google search I found that newer steppings often times yield better clock speeds and/or power consumption. What I did not find was a lot of details on what specific steppings changed or how they improved on the processor. Just that they did.
I have a Crosshair V...
tulx is right. I have a Corsair H60 with two fans in a push pull config. It does it's job well enough, though it certainly can't compete with a true water cooling setup. It is competitive with high end air coolers winning in some areas and losing in others.
