I would advise you wait for reviews. I don't trust Asrock after the nonsense they pulled on Intel 400 series chipset.

Oh? Can you describe the Asrock nonsense briefly? I must have missed the fiasco on its Intel 400 chipset. hmm.gif

Sandy/Ivy Bridge BCLK didn't have that controller, but IIRC it won't go beyond 6% well. Ditto with Haswell. The only major BCLK overclocking that could be done was with Nehalem gen chips.

Those old days were better than now, when you could squeeze major overclocks out of any Intel CPU available. Of course, some did better than others, e.g. Core 2 7x333 CPUs were much more limited compared to 8x266 ones.

BLCK?
FSB is the legend.

Back in the day, we used to OC the FSB from 400Mhz to 1333Mhz on Core 2 and Pentium Dual Core. laugh.gif
Those days were the best. Even a cheap CPU can be very performing after FSB OC.

Return of SPECTRE for both Intel and AMD 2021. Including ARM too.

So many games last week and this week got patched for denuvo removal, most of which were already cracked in the first place. Funny how pirates win again.

Indeed.

Another news:

DirectX 12 Applications No Longer Working on 4th Generation Intel® Processor Graphics
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/sup...ssors.html?s=09

QUOTE
Summary

Article describing why applications based on DirectX 12 no longer work on 4th generation Intel graphics (codename Haswell)
Description

Starting with driver 15.40.44.5107 applications that run exclusively on DirectX* 12 API no longer work with the following Intel Graphics Controllers:

    4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® Iris™ Pro Graphics 5200
    4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® Iris™ Graphics 5100
    4th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 5000/4600/4400/4200
    Intel® Pentium® and Celeron® Processors with Intel® HD Graphics based on 4th Generation Intel® Core™

Resolution

A potential security vulnerability in Intel® Graphics may allow escalation of privilege on 4th Generation Intel® Core™ processors.  Intel has released a software update to mitigate this potential vulnerability.  In order to mitigate the vulnerability, DirectX 12 capabilities were deprecated.

If you need DirectX 12 applications running on these processor's graphics, downgrade the driver to version 15.40.42.5063 or older.
