I guess only concern those people who wanted to use a PC as HTPC, which is really really niche over here considering those hard-core HT people will only use dedicated BR-player hooked up to their OP ATMOS receiver.

The stock cooler is terrible. However it is included to run those six-cores at stock 65W TDP. Can see from Hardware Unbox that most motherboard brand unlock the power limit from the get-go, don't need to be a genius to figure it won't go well with the puny stock cooler. cawan liked this post

Anyone come across of Intel 12-gen benchmark with Ryzen PBO enabled? I'll be interested in the difference especially gaming with RTX3090.
Not that I'll be buying any of the products, but great entertainment watching Intel win again. |

QUOTE(Currylaksa @ Nov 20 2021, 08:13 PM) Alder Lake really strong here  Older CPU's like 8700K and 2700K bottleneck kao kao wor Also playing on 1440P Ultra, 5600X and i5-11600K are fine even with a RTX3090. I guess those who want more FPS by bumping down quality will benefit from the latest Alder Lake. I didn't get the game, you guys enjoy playing it? |

And a dual tower CPU cooler, that's a good addition. |

QUOTE(overfloe @ Jan 5 2022, 11:57 AM) based on CES2022 news, some entry level laptops may be offered with alder lake & DDR4. there is still hope for us mortals Intel side the i5-1240P with its 4P8E cores seems interesting on a budget laptop with long battery life.  AMD side the 6800U (28W) & 6800HS (45W), both with 8C/12CU also seems interesting for budget gaming laptop with onboard graphics. |

QUOTE(yimingwuzere @ Jan 11 2022, 01:26 PM) case is upside down + deshrouded GPU with 2 Phanteks T30s in exhaust for the lowest air-cooled GPU temps possible with this case. Curious how how much does the temp increase on gaming load on normal orientation? |

QUOTE(yimingwuzere @ Jan 14 2022, 10:51 PM) The Ncase is also works best with a negative pressure setup as there's so many little cutouts and vents here and there on it, so the best solution for a GPU without water blocking it is to buy a 3 slot GPU, deshroud it, and use the bottom fans to force air out of the case through the GPU heatsink. TI suspect the VRM may not get sufficient cooling with this method, but not sure what's the impact on stability will it be. Sorry off topic. |

QUOTE(yimingwuzere @ Feb 17 2022, 01:29 AM) Asrock always makes entry level trash. It's whether they bother to make high end on the flipside that's another matter (they kinda didn't with Z490). Their Z490 ITX isn't that bad too right? E.g. B550 - they have both the B550M-ITX/ac (trash specs for entry level price) and the Phantom Gaming ITX/ax (nearly 100% identical VRM to the B550 Aorus Pro ITX, with better CPU socket placement, front USB-C, more usable USB ports and other board headers). Z690 has the Phantom Gaming ITX line too: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z690%20Phan...TXTB4/index.asp As for the topic of poor VRM, if I'm building a midrange with i5 with no CPU upgrade in mind, I guess those Asrock VRM is still acceptable since the 6-cores (or 10) won't stress the VRM so much? |

QUOTE(Bonchi @ Feb 17 2022, 08:24 PM) It's the build quality and QC consistency for asrock. As for vrm Like many shown here, intel is not really power hungry in normal circumstances unless you everyday run cinbench so vrm no problem wan. Sounds good. I also think midrange builder will just run their RAM on the XMP speed, and not anything beyond. So if you ok with lower build quality, abit difficult to overclock ram stable and have lower bandwidth due to cheaped out mobo pcb traces on the pcie lanes and ram then yeah, asrock no problem. As for the VRM, as long as can boost to the CPU top speed and won't throttle by VRM power or heat, good enough for gaming already. Most people who buys a i5 k-series is most probably going to use it mainly for gaming. |

Well said, the 13th gen non-K is going to look really interesting!This post has been edited by edmund_yung: Nov 1 2022, 05:45 PM |

Is it about PC Gaming? Then simple for me, see which CPU is doing the best for the game which I myself play a lot in real world benchmark, then get that CPU.
Currently the Ryzen 5800X3D is killing it in Flight Simulator with its huge cache., especially in VR. |

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Dec 8 2022, 10:19 AM) I did some video converting task and run HWmonitor, found out that CPU temperature hit 90 Degrees. (some core reach 100 occasionally). I think this is not good for the system please correct me if I'm wrong. The processor load for E core is almost 100% but P core is still like less than 30% load. Sound about right after watching a few Youtube review of the i7-13700K According to Intel's spec it turbo up to 253W with Tjunction of 100C, I will run at those temp if I were you to max out whatever cooler you have there. That part about P core running at 30% while hitting 100C, not so sure about it. Weird to see 30% load on the CPU, at 5.4GHz 220W... I don't own an Intel 13-gen to really understand its behavior.

QUOTE(kmarc @ Jan 8 2023, 12:32 PM) Looks like no difference in performance on assassin creed origins whether it is performance mode, standard mode or power saving mode. On HWinfo, max cpu package power was only 160w for performance mode I'm guessing you'll only see some difference in Warzone 2.0However, temperature for performance and standard was about the same around 70-85'c with fans noisily ramping up. But on power saving mode, it was a cool 59-62'c. I like it!  Power saving mode This post has been edited by edmund_yung: Jan 8 2023, 01:15 PM |

QUOTE(zzzz52 @ Jan 11 2023, 03:53 PM) It triggered my interest after reading the Anandtech power scaling article: This is a good chart, especially for those who have casing size constraint, to decide which CPU is better for their case/cooler combo.https://www.anandtech.com/show/17641/lighte...-13900k-7950x/4 It mentions that the settings vs the power draw have some discrepancy.  |
