    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    What does going off on a huge tangent about your 13900k have anything to do with what is being discussed in this thread? I mean, if the only criteria being used to judge the 7950X3D is whether or not it provides a better experience than the 13900k, well, I think that explains a lot.

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    So you did a subjective (and clearly biased) evaluation using your own computer, without comparing it to anything, and feel that it puts you in a position to declare that there is no stuttering? What you posted is the equivalent of someone with a 60Hz monitor saying "All my games are super...

    USB Keyboard randomly disconnecting

    It might be a power issue. Not sure what keyboard you have, but some RGB keyboards can use quite a bit of power. If your monitor has the ability to act as a USB hub, then I would try to plug your keyboard into the USB ports on your monitor so that it's getting power from your monitor instead...

    Windows 11 factory reset - doesn't meet system requirements

    Do a fresh install of Windows 10. Download the Windows 11 23H2 iso. No modifications needed. Double-click the ISO to mount it. Make note of the drive letter (for later instructions, let's assume the mounted ISO is now the D: drive) Open Powershell as Administrator (Do a windows search for...

    Thermalright HR10 works great

    That's a neat cooler, but NAND flash is one of those things that sort of breaks the mold when it comes to electronics and temperatures. Flash memory actually has much better endurance at hotter temperatures compared to colder temperatures. The only thing that actually benefits from cooling is...

    Windows 11 24H2 to enforce HW requirement

    Sorry, but your "woe is me" post falls flat given how easy it is to bypass those requirements, after which not only will Windows 11 work just fine, it will even help you install drivers and BIOS updates for your "unsupported" hardware". The reality is that Microsoft really doesn't care what...

    Fan Replacement for EVGA 1000W P3

    I've replaced the fans in plenty of units. In fact, there have been times when I've got PSUs basically for free because people didn't want to bother with replacing the fan. It's pretty trivial really. Yes there is potential for danger but if you just take things slow, be careful, and use...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Keep in mind that if they went to a 16-core CCD, all of those chips would not be sold as 16-core CPUs. That's because there are always yield issues, and some of the cores will end up not passing quality control. They then take those chips where some of the cores didn't pass QC, deactivate the...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    It should have been pretty damn obvious to any sane person exactly what I was talking about, so if you have to twist my words around into a pretzel like that because you're only able to refute things that have nothing to do with what I was talking about, then it really says more about you than...

    Is it true that 7950X3D suffers from stutter on games?

    Honestly I think you just hit the nail on the head as to why the 7800x3D is the better gaming CPU. Having hardware with fundamental issues that need to be baby-sat with software solutions at best, or straight-up manually adjusted (process laso, etc) at worse. Constantly having to hope that the...

    [Steam] Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection 50% off @ $9.88

    Command & Conquer and Command & Conquer: Red Alert were literally the games that got me into PC gaming back in the 90's. As a kid, I'd pretty much just play those games all day long. That said, the graphics on those earlier games are pretty primitive, designed for the glory of 640x480...

    AMD finally updating the FreeSync spec

    It also says below that, "≥ 3440 Horizontal resolution: Max. Refresh Rate: ≥ 120 Hz", so with no exception mentioned in the graph itself, I assumed 4K displays fell into that category. Either way, I'm not interested in nitpicking that any further. My main point was simply that this change does...

    AMD finally updating the FreeSync spec

    Yeah, I missed that exception for 4K. I think that an important exception such as that should have been included in the graph in that article that outlined what the specific requirements were for each tier, because that's kind of significant... then again this is Tomshardware we're talking...

    AMD finally updating the FreeSync spec

    I don't see how this is a good thing in any way, shape, or form. They didn't do ANYTHING that actually improves Freesync or the way it works. It seems like the ONLY impact that this change will have is that a lot of displays that would have otherwise come with Freesync support will now no...

    current best air coolers

    I'm not sure what you're discussing, but I'm talking about air coolers in an air cooler thread. And yes, price is absolutely relevant to the discussion. "Deals" aren't irrelevant, especially when those deals last months and there are perpetually always several models on sale.

    current best air coolers

    No one said anything was "crap". Ditch the emo melodrama, we're just talking about heatsinks here. My point is simply that, IMO, the Peerless Assassin is overpriced at this point. Maybe not by much, and it's certainly not a bad heatsink by any means, but there are basically always deals on at...

    Thermalright high-end air coolers questions.

    I was swapping a Peerless Assassin 120 for a Frost Spirit 140 in one of my systems, and took a few comparison pictures while they were both removed. The Peerless Assassin is the non-SE model (which I prefer personally). The swap wasn't really necessary, but I still wanted the better heatsink...

    That's not even a good deal. You can get a Frost Spirit 140 for <$28 which is better than the Peerless Assassin 120. If you don't have the space for the Frost Spirit 140, you can get the Phantom Spirit 120, which is the same size as the Peerless Assassin 120 and a direct upgrade in every way...

    Glossy vs. matte

    The glare and reflections from Glossy monitors annoy me quite a bit, which is why I prefer Matte at this point. In ideal lighting conditions, I do think that glossy looks slightly better. I'm running 6 monitors in my current setup, all Matte. If they were all Glossy, it's guaranteed that I'd...

    Is there anything non-cosmetic about the Frost Spirit 140v3 that actually makes it better than the original version? Because you can get the original version for ~$15 cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P34RVPX?th=1 The Frost Spirit 140 for $28 is a MUCH better deal than that Arctic Freezer...

    Sounds like you are confusing the link in the first post (the Windows 10 issue) with the followup post that was posted today about the Windows 11 Cumulative Update. Feel free to actually read the thread so that you can comprehend what subject people are talking about. Go ahead, I'll wait here.

    they tried... Microsoft to end its Android apps on Windows 11

    I honestly think that this had more to do with Amazon than Microsoft. Android Apps on Windows have always been mostly reliant on the Amazon App store. This is because of the unfortunate situation where mobile computing had been allowed to evolve into an ecosystem where a tiny few gatekeeper...

    If you have not installed the latest cumulative update yet, then you're not on the latest version of Windows. If you wanted to do an in-place upgrade from Windows 11 23H2 version 22631.3155 to version 22631.3235 for example, which would more or less replicate what occurs when you install the...

    I'd be very curious to know exactly what specific circumstances have to occur to cause that problem.

    WTB: Intel LGA socket 2011 air cooler for X79

    I would not call it overkill personally. Overkill would be something like an AIO, while this is just a cheap air cooler. It is physically large, but that's not a bad thing, especially since it's cheap. It allows you more freedom to potentially run it with just the center fan, and have a...

    New multi-threading technique promises to double processing speeds

    It's easy to dismiss new tech so quick, but just keep in mind that there was a time when even a GPU was a new thing with an uncertain future. Early first-person shooters (Doom, etc) were played with all graphics rendered using the CPU.

    Thermalright high-end air coolers questions.

    Yeah, one of the Frost Spirit heatsinks is going on an old Sandy-Bridge 2700k in one of my retro/spare computers. Overclocked to 5.2Ghz, it pushes the CM212 it has on it right now to it's limits. The ~$28 for the Frost Spirit is almost the same as what it would cost just to buy the fans that...

    Thermalright high-end air coolers questions.

    Yeah I agree the Frost Spirit 140 looks pretty amazing, which is why I snapped up two at that sale price even though I arguably didn't really need them. I just find it interesting, that the Frost Spirit 140 was introduced way back in 2019, yet it never seemed to get the same hype that others...

    That's the same video that I mentioned in my first post. I don't see where it shows the Frost Spirit beating the Phantom Spirit though. I see them being close, mostly tied, with the Phantom Spirit pulling ahead at higher noise levels and allowing for higher boost clocks. The video also...

    Thermalright high-end air coolers questions.

    I have had really amazing results with the larger thermalright air coolers in the last year or two. I have two systems with Xeon E5-1660 v3 CPUs on X99 motherboards, which are basically i7-5960X Xeon equivalents, both highly overclocked. Those CPUs are absolute heat factories with an...

    New multi-threading technique promises to double processing speeds

    I think that there is potential here. One of the big problems with new features is adoption. If everything is done through a virtualized hardware interface, then the actual underlying hardware could potentially change without affecting compatibility. Specific hardware is used if it exists...

    Nvidia releases new drivers for unsupported graphics cards and Windows versions

    Nvidia shifting Kepler to only receiving security updates happened a long time ago: Since those drivers are based on an older branch (pre-500), it was probably trivial to create a non-DCH / Legacy driver version. I doubt that they had to do a lot of work, as drivers between those Windows...

    How long should a platform last?

    I think that this question sort of misses the mark. A platform "lasts" as long as it's useful. So it's not really about the platform, it's what you are using it for. In the 1990's we saw technology become obsolete quickly because what people used their computers for was also changing quickly...
