my original v2 400 has a constant hissing noise from the satellites now. Was working great for 22 years until now. is this usually a capacitor problem? I removed the amp, and I think I see a slightly bulging 47uf 50v cap, but I'm too uninformed to know if this is what might be causing the issue.

everyday. best game ever

i got a z690 mobo for $160 after rebates (and i already cashed the rebate. shit on rebates if you want) got the 12600k for $250 from bestbuy pricematch is that not cheaper price/performance than AMD?

i noticed the prices too. Intel provides more performance for less money. particularly the 5600x vs 12600k for a new system, amd doesn't make sense.

keep 1080p low settings for another 2 years.

ah shit MC raising prices again 269>>249 >> 229>> 249 269 again. ya'll missed that sale.

where does the cpu draw its power though? If i run a 12600k at max load, it could exceed 204w, but does it then pull extra power from the other rail then?

I have an old Earthwatts 380 which was built by seasonic. Has dual 12v rails at 17A. specs say one 12v powers motherboard and peripherals, the other 12v powers cpu. but with it all plugged in, do both 12v rails power the cpu still? i mean how many amps are available to the cpu?

i love this price war. bestbuy is pricematching these, if you're lucky

wow Microcenter dropped the prices further. 12600k $230 12700k $300 how low can these go? 12600k for $199 soon???? good thing my credit card has price protection. Get the difference refunded

I've noticed that when I saturate the builtin realtek gigabit ethernet on my asus laptop with multithreaded downloads, or try to max out my internet connection, occasionally the modem will crash, requiring hard reboot of modem. when using several different computers with Intel gigE, I haven't...

i had Bestbuy pricematch MC. building another budget 12600k system with an Asrock z690, 120mm enermax cooler, 16gb gskill ripjaws ddr4. $250+$160+$20 +50= $480+tax after rebates. and then free win7>>win10>>win11 upgrade. Whole system under $500+tax. at these prices, I don't feel like waiting...

i just got the updated denuvo stripped version of fallen order, and the game now works with igp. actually runs decently for an igp.

wroooong. you say that with such confidence. hey sir jerk knowitall, stop adding nonsense shit to this thread. Here's driver SF running on Windows 11 on my laptop blows your theory out of the water eh? Windows 11 is fine.

were you testing with integrated graphics? i was testing integrated graphics only. maybe it's my MSI mobo, or ssd, or the cracked version of the game I'm running. who knows.
