    New Build -12900K vs 13700k, 12th gen cheaper

    Probably should get the 13700k, it can hit 5.4ghz all core easier than 12900k 5.3ghz all core.

    Has Intel Abandoned the HEDT Market?

    Sure the ram sticks that use 3d xpoint is a different application, i was more interested in the nvme storage as it has great 4k performance. What youre talking about is next level caching, so whatever is in the database would sit in the 3d xpoint memory type b, and then talk to main system...

    Has Intel Abandoned the HEDT Market?

    Im also upset that the Intel 3D Xpoint drives are discontinued, like the 905P. Should of bought one when I had the chance, best 4k random read speeds. Only thing that's easy to get is the 100gb version. meh. About HEDT, yes its back! Socket LGA4677 , comes in monolithic and chiplet die. Its a...

    Integrated Active Backplate for nVidia

    Just wanted to bring this to your attention. These integrated active backplates GPU waterblocks, They dont fit in the first PCIE SLOT on X299 motherboard. Also, if you have VROC HYPER RAID card in your second 16X PCIE slot, YOU MUST TURN IT OFF in the bios before, otherwise you will have no...

    Core i9 10980 xe Oc

    I would say you are VRM and Watercooling limited to achive your desired state. 4.7ghz could cause 105degree C all core Im running a 7820X @ 5ghz 1.317 and am using 360+280 with Noctua industrial fans.

    worth upgrading 7820x to 5900x?

    Do you really want to downgrade from quad channel to dual channel? AMD is garbage too. Im waiting for rocketlake-X If you want more multi, ebay the 12 or 14 core.

    If you could have one of these 2 cards, water-cooled, which would you pick and why?? 6800xt or 3080fe

    All i could get my hands on was a 3070 on boxing day, sold out in an hour, havent seen 3080 ever, and not paying for 3090. I looked forvthe amd cards, never saw one. Bought the alpha cool ref block

    Do I need to build a new PC?

    It really depends what you want or how you want to measure improvement. Personally, i always look at single thread performance before making a purchase. I would go to https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Intel-Core-i7-4770/Rating/1978 and look at your max single thread, and then pick a higher number...

    Yeah true, once you tweak it, you can probably bring it where you want.

    Core i9 10980Xe

    You might have to delid and direct die frame to lower your temps...thats what i did with the 7820x. Or you might have a cpu that doesnt OC well......My other pc has 9900k 4.8ghz and its sitting max 65c at like 1.26v (rainbow6 siege, roblox pc) I lowered 7820x from 5ghz to 4.8ghz 1.21v till...

    have 7820x at 4.7ghz now. Upgrade to 10900x or switch to 10900k, or wait?

    I hear ya, i was thinking of getting 10920x, but may as well save it for next hedt with better ST perf. Only issue with 10900x, doesnt overclock well. The 12,14,18 are better chips. And once you go 14core or more, it uses too much power at 5ghz. 10920x might be sweet spot.

    have 7820x at 4.7ghz now. Upgrade to 10900x or switch to 10900k, or wait?

    First off, if youre only running dual channel on a quad channel platform, get another memory set. Then tighten your first and secondary timings. Also if u got custom loop like me (360+280) with direct die frame you can run 5ghz and run at par against 3900x due to higher single thread perf and...

    Did nvidia throw a 1-2 punch to AMD with Ampere?

    Actually.... Nvidia TNT ArchitectureFahrenheit, and Nvidia 8800 gts ArchitectureTesla, was the best launch! Amphere 3080 gtx is looking good too! Wish it had higher mem bandwidth, oh well!

    Who's making moves to get ready for the new release of cards?

    Get the gpu you want or like the most, you can always upgrade your pc when better parts come out. I was rocking i5 750 with Nvidia Titan, np with 60fps in Gta5 1080p. Upgraded to 7820x and 1070ti and play at 4k. Personally -Im looking at the 3080, but upset about $800 rumor price.
