IMO not worth it at that resolution of gaming and no use of the E cores. Feel like you’re more gpu limited than cpu.

Forgot to update but ended up going with 13700k. Gigabyte z690 itx with Corsair ddr5 @ 5200mhz and Thermalright PA120, the 13700k runs a few C cooler than 12900k, like 4-5c. Chip lottery probably. And running unlimited pl2, higher score in cinebench in 13700k. Probably cuz runs a little cooler...

It’s fine. Max vcore 1.7 but ideal to stay under 1.4. Stock is around 1.3 https://www.overclock.net/threads/asus-maximus-z690-extreme-i9-12900k-guide-load-lines-vf-curves-adaptive-voltage-by-core-octvb.1794957/#Power Bothers you that much, turn off enhanced multi core performance...

windows or something could be doing something in the background and loading cpu. Mine behaves this way especially when it was a new install/build. After a while it settles down and cpu is able to throttle down. And as eagle said, mobo makers tend to “overclock” even at default settings with...

Unfortunately, only 12900k and 13700k is offered to me and I’m getting either one for less than 13600k if I buy through retail channels. 😉 Yes, depending on my thermals I may have to disable cores or hyper threading. But based on some articles, either one @ 125w limit does incredibly well...

sorry, you went on a huge rant and did not even answer my question. I’ve been building for over 20 years and am very up to date on hardware. As for what I mean by power/heat limitations, it’s exactly as said. I’ll be building an itx system and I’m acutely aware of how much power and heat...

As the title indicates, I’m able to grab the 12900k for $50 cheaper. From what ive read, 13th gen better imc for better memory over clocking and 4 slots of ddr5 @ good speeds. Regarding ipc, it’s almost negligible with 2-5% max at same speeds for my workload. I’m not going to overclock...

Bump for awesome seller.

Awesome seller; highly recommend!

I read the same conclusion....... odd how it was interrupted as “maxes out pcie3.0 x16”. if anything, extrapolating that data means pcie 3.0 x16 still has some legs before moving up to 4.0 Is required

First of all, f##k this guy. He is not Korean, just look at him. Multiple sources say he is an Isareli Colombian. https://www.esportsearnings.com/players/40620-eqo-josh-corona http://liquipedia.net/overwatch/Eqo...

I'm going to have to disagree with the consensus here; I thought the study was actually useful. 1) did anyone even read the JAHA article? 2) the journal did actually address other stimulants such as caffeine not increasing their cardiac biomarker, HRV. Furthermore, other forms of NRT...

Thanks guys! Red it is. Btw, how about toshiba drives? Ive seen them go on sale for $69.99 for 3tb.

i currently run a 240gb OCZ SSD with 1x Samsung 1tb and 1x WD green 1tb not in RAID. The two hdd serve as storage drives where really important stuff are copied in both hdd, offline and on an extraordinary 1tb (mainly family photos dating back to 2000). The rest is anime and crap that is mainly...

bump. would buy if i had the money! OP, where you located/heatware?

ditto. my htpc had 4gb on w7 64-bit was fine most of the time, but when i streamed w/chrome and watched 1080 .mkv shows w/MPC, occasionally MPC would stutter and lag. Even with only 1 tab+1 stream and MPC, my RAM usage was hitting right under 4gb. After getting other 8gb to replace one of the...

Most likely no, but of course YMMV. I tried it with the Tustin, CA store on a RPi3 and was rejected, indicating its only for those mentioned stores. however, there is a $5 off 30 floating around that they accepted.

that would be a huge change going from a terrible processor to a pretty good one. personally, my change wasn't as dramatic as well. perhaps it was the extra 4gb? i noticed with windows 7, post-updates, 4gb is really pushing the minimum. with 8gb, my machines got much more responsive.

I use WSUSoffline and let it work for me. It does all the rebooting for you once you grant the permissions than just make an image as previous posters have mentioned. WSUS Offline Update - Update Microsoft Windows and Office without an Internet connection

The power supply is top notch with all Japanese caps. The only other one I would consider is the EVGA G2 1000watt, but its 15 bucks more. Ive always had great customer service with Corsair as well (hear good things about EVGA as well). Thorough review...

Did a little digging and the OEM of the power supply seems to be HuntKey: http://www.certipedia.com/companies/19551/certificates_by_product?additional_title=Switching+Power+Supply(Building-in+type&locale=en&title=Schaltnetzteil Theres more to a power supply than just efficiency. That...

OP, it seems to me that you are pretty much buying a whole new computer. The only thing left of the original Alienware is the CPU and maybe hard drive.;) outside of that, seems like the choices for you parts are pretty good. as for the RAM, standard is 1.20v so 1.35v shouldnt be a big deal...

The EK Predator? A lot news about it recently leaking. OP, support probably depends on location, but in the U.S. Swiftech seems to be really outstanding. Same for EK as well. According to EKs own test result, Predator edges out the Swiftech 240X by 3-4 C. It would be safe to say its...

Actually I think the model sku seems like a msi motherboard.

Yeah thats why im kinda hesitant with buying into old mSATA due to M2 with NVMe being the future. Also, thats why i was kinda hoping there would be a lot of mSATA to M2 adapters. Regardless, I managed to find one: http://www.bplus.com.tw/Adapter/M2MS1.html Hopefully in the future there...

thanks for the reply guys. the funny thing is, i tried looking for an mSATA to M2 adapter, but there doesnt seem to be any. however, there are plenty of M2 to mSATA adapters. so now the question is, will there be adapters when mSATA is EOL from every SSD vendor. im keen on mSATA because i ran...

i was contemplating buying a NUC or something similar, but I never paid much attention to the specs when the storage options noted only mSATA. after searching forums to see which mSATA drive is best, someone pointed out that M2 is replacing mSATA. then i started to notice that many drives are...

for the longest time ive used Yate Loons. I bought a bunch way back when and still have a couple left over. has anything changed since then? and im speaking of the Yate Loons that are the Nexus copies.

I dont know if youre being sarcastic, but I think those are called theater rooms. My well-to-do friend has a dedicated room with sound deadening, no windows, appropriate soft lighting with an amazing projector and huge speakers. Never bother to ask what model and makes. Then in one of the 3...

As far as I know, i havent heard anyone getting penalized or banned for sharing accounts. I think when you try to stream over the limit, it just kicks you off or prohibits additional streams until the limit has not been exceed...

CA should be on that list. The number of schools and students could really benefit on this. Our campus as implemented a lot of question privacy practices regarding computer usage to combat cheating but i feel its borderline monitoring what you do 24/7.

it really depends on the shows and how up to date you want to be on your shows. for me, i like netflix. i don't watch much tv and the quality and stability is very good. however, my gf watches a lot of crap tv shows (think "reality" shows) and she always wants to keep up to date with them. so we...

Or he could just use it for movies alone. I mean if you pay $100,000 for a tv, I'm sure you could afford another set for just sports.

i also call BS. we've barely reached an age where we blind people can make out blobs of black and white. how can we reimage a whole dream? if its measuring brain waves plus other biological factors such as blood pressure, heart rate, etc.. its still nonspecific.

Even Sata 3 ssd with said RAM only reduced load times of video games a sec couple seconds I think. A RAM disk or pcie 4x ssd, I'm not sure.
