It would be nice. Maybe Tencent would end Ubi's quality-crippling DEI policies, which would probably do a lot to improve the quality of their games. A claim from a video leak that's posted below: "Ubisoft has a massive labour issue. Its studios are filled with diversity hires, and the talent...

The P14 Max are a new variant which came out this year. I have 3x regular P14s as front intakes, on my radiator. The regular ones are pretty good, quiet, and have a smooth sound to them - I like them a lot more than the Silent Wings 4 I tried out, which, despite the comparison graph below, were...

I have, I just haven't made use of it yet, lol. I guess I burned myself out from swapping the LF3 AIO with my Noctua air cooler a bunch of times and just haven't felt motivated to take things apart again to put the Arctic P14 Max fans in with the air cooler again. But I have the 5-pack here...

Jay talks about the changes 9000X3D might have in this video: https://youtu.be/wt4I98s6HwY

Would there be enough time following the launch of Zen 5 for AMD to react to its negative reception and make changes to the design of the 9800X3D, to make it better, and still have it release this year? I got a 7800X3D only recently, but I'll look at getting a 9800X3D if it shows a significant...

I've ordered a 5-pack of Arctic P14 Max 140mm fans. They look to have the same or similar design as the ARGB variant (all fins are connected in a circle mold), but they're a lot newer, releasing this year, and without RGB, so much cheaper. And they're reviewed well. They should be a significant...

I keep getting unwanted noises with my Liquid Freezer 3, so I'm going to do more playing around with my cooling solution. I often, but not always, hear a high-pitched whine noise that seems to trace to the pump, as turning off all the fans in the PC doesn't make it go away, but it quietens a...

Steve went a bit hard on tubes-up front mounting in that video, perhaps over-emphasising and dramatizing the argument. If the pump is lower than the rad, it can be OK to have to have it mounted tubes up. I guess it depends on the AIO: how close the tube barbs are to the end of the AIO, how much...

I did a couple of Noctua runs before installing the LF3 AIO the first time, but didn't take any screenshots of them. I just mentioned what scores they got. So, all the above shots are with the LF3 AIO. Not really. The screenshots were taken after the runs were completed. So, Core Temp is just...

After taking out the 420mm LF3 AIO and reinstalling my Noctua air cooler, and then taking the Noctua air cool out again and reinstalling the 420mm LF3 AIO, I'm getting some better temps and Cinebench scores with the LF3 AIO than before. But they're still slightly lower than what I got with the...

I haven't tried Phanteks. I did buy a bunch of Be Quiet's 140mm Silent Wings 4s, and put them in my case. And they were pretty bad, so I removed them and will return them. They had a dirty spinning sound. And when starting, and at various RPM ranges, they often emitted faint grindy or rattling...

Some good discounts on Be Quiet merch at Canada Computers. I didn't ask if these were part of a 1-day flash sale they were having, or part of their weekly discounts. Some examples: 140mm Silent Wings 4 PWM HS - $25 https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=8_130&item_id=225741...

Which fans do you like most for intake, exhaust, and on a CPU cooler? My air cooler is a Noctua NH-D15, and I have three NF-A15 fans I can put on it. Is there a better choice than those? I'm thinking of replacing my case's Be Quiet Pure Wings 2 fans with 140mm Silent Wings 4 PWM high-speed...

In case anyone else wonders, since I haven't seen anyone else report doing it (only reports of a LF2 420mm), a Liquid Freezer 420mm AIO can fit in a Silent Base 802 PC case, and probably in any standard orientation: top, front with tubes up, front with tubes down. Putting the radiator at the...

I have a 7800X3D, but my Noctua NH-D15 doesn't keep the temps under 80+C in high-intensity gaming, and regularly hits the tjmax of 89C. I've seen inconsistent reports of what a 7800X3D should be getting with an NH-D15, with many tests results and claims that it stays mid-70Cs under load, and...

Arctic seems to have been dumping their Liquid Freezer III AIO stock in huge sales lately. Many inventories appear to be out of stock now. But the 420mm is still available for cheap. The US listing is straight-forward: It's from Amazon, for $98 USD. There's also the 360mm version on Amazon US...

Whatever it ultimately entailed, the overarching point is that it all stems from not standing for the pledge of allegiance, which wasn't tolerated by the teacher, who then pressed further and further as he responded to the teacher's statements of unacceptance. Typically when unflattering news...

Speaking of lying by omission, the disruption he was arrested for, and which a police officer was called over, was refusing to stand for the pledge of alliegiance, and not submitting when the teacher rebuked him for it. Thanks for recognizing your loss of credibility.

That is false. What I wrote is all true. You knee-jerk reacted to it with propagandized sentiments and make a non sequitur response that didn't invalidate what I said, or support your opposition to what I said. Russia's government being opposed to VK's refusal to not share user information with...

What I said is true and stands. What you responded with isn't a rebuttal, and your attempt to frame it as one is sad.

Did you not read my post? It covered Russia having wanted Durov to cooperate with the government. But Russia didn't seek to arrest him, as I showed Russia's Foreign Ministry said: Russia has been open about its expectations from social media, and has pointed-out the West's hypocrisy on Durov's...

Free Speech in the West is a myth that sounded good in its self-aggrandizing propaganda, but it doesn't really exist anywhere, including in the US where children can be arrested for not standing for the pledge of allegiance (which is itself a bizarre, fascist-like brainwashing exercise), where...

I'm thinking about the Be Quiet! Silent Loop 2 280mm AIO, after hearing one that seemed much quieter than others in a store. But is its increased quietness mostly a function of its fans, and would buying a cheaper AIO and replacing the fans with Be Quiet or Noctua fans get similar sound...

I don't know if they're going to be getting more in stock, but Amazon Canada's 7800X3D stock is currently all gone. Maybe Amazon is aiming to clear-out its US stock, too.

I'll give that a go when I've got a chance, thanks.

I haven't configured LLC. My BIOS settings are stock, other than loading the EXPO profile and setting PBO offsets.

Based on reported temperatures I see people getting from 7800X3Ds in general, I think I'm not getting the temps I should be. After initially installing this 7800X3D CPU with the Noctua NH-D15 cooler, I was getting an idle temp of 51C, and in benchmarks was constantly riding 89C, and hitting 90C...

My Be Quiet! Silent Base 802 case is also a bit on sale at Newegg right now. https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=silent+base+802 It's my favourite case that I've had, as it does keep the sound down, and looks great. Though, temps will be higher with the sound-dampening front-panel (it also comes...

Working from the idea that an average of -38 might be just on the bad side of my CPU's limit, unless I add some LLC adjustment, I'm running an offset of -50 on the first core, and -35 on all the rest - which is an average of -36.875. I haven't run into an issue yet in benchmarks and gaming with...

Would setting an LLC offset to compensate for vdroop defeat the point of setting bigger negative core voltage offsets? It's like adding more voltage so that I can take some more away from each core. And I think the LLC-added voltage will be in effect at all times, including when idle, which...

OK, I'll check that out. I've re-tested the first 3 cores at -50 around 12 times, and they've successfully validated each time. Also, when I tested each core individually at -50, I did it in increments, from -38, -42, -47, -50, and they each passed every step. So, yeah, it's just when doing an...

I did an all-core offset test at -35 which validated. I then did one at -40, which failed (the system restarted). I then did per-core tests, and validated each core individually at -50. I then did an all-core test at -40, and it validated. I then repeated the all-core test at -40, and the system...

I have a friend in the UK who has always used headphones until now, and they're looking at getting some speakers. The Audioengine A2+ is what they're looking at right now. Does anyone have experience with this? The 2.75" woofers seem pretty small to me...

Zen 4 and Zen 5 CPUs' performance are affected by a Windows bug that worsens performance when not using the administrator account. If the bug is fixed or worked around, performance improves, but it does for Zen 4 CPUs to, and so HU's review conclusion remains the same. https://youtu.be/D1INvx9ca9M

New Zealand is just another US vassal. Hopefully Kim can escape with his family to someplay safe before that can happen. Maybe he can meet up in Russia with Snowden and Tara Reade. Whatever his plan is, I hope he doesn't jeapardize it by posting that he has one. But it sounds like his plan...

I had a 7700X, which died on me. I received a warranty replacement from AMD, but I already sold it 1.5 weeks ago, in anticipation of getting a 9000 CPU. I need a new CPU to use my main PC again, and so I just ordered a 7800X3D because the 9700X still isn't available in local stores and seems to...

To me, the differences between the CPUs look negligible, and like it comes down to what a person prioritizes. Cooler temps (and thus less overheated room, and less fan noise) and slightly better app performance goes to the 9700X. Marginally more FPS and slighly lower powerr usage goes the...

If you know, what do you lose in gaing performance, and what's the heavy gaming-load CPU temperature like with that offset?

Maybe everyone, after seeing the reviews, is opting for the 7800X3D instead. I can add the Amazon.ca's 9700X listing to the others. Amazon Canada itself doesn't have any stock yet, but a 3rd party had a max of 10 listed for sale, and have sold 2. They initially listed it at $100 above MSRP...
