Your thoughts. I have heard mixed reviews. No one will know for sure until it is out. Its set for September 15 barely under 3 months away. How much performance improvement do you see for gaming and future high end video cards installed in a Zen 3 vs Zen 4 system with same core count CPU. Do you...

Have all 8 P cores enabled with hyper threading also enabled, but e cores disabled?? Have all 8 P cores and all 8 e cores enabled but hyper threading disabled?? I know most games at least not yet do not scale much beyond 8 threads and real cores, but that is changing, though games it seems...

I am looking for a good free one. Or maybe a paid one as well. And more so light on CPU or at least optimized on CPU usage across P and e cores of an Alder Lake. RAM usage matters to, but less so as RAM is so plentiful these days if you have 32GB or more. Though something using more than 1 GB...

Which of these 4 cases would you pick if you had to choose? For a 12900KS build cooled by a Noctua NH-D15S with dual 120/140mm fans and a Asus Tuf GeForce RTX 3090. No HDDS/Optical disc drives Which case would provide best balance between cooling and relatively low noise for that setup out of...

Which fans would these be. I have heard most Noctua are great? Are Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 really good as well or are they overhyped for air flow at low noise levels??? I heard Gamers Nexus mention they are quiet because they spin slower than others?? I did notice some new Be Quiet Silent Wings...

I know often silence with good airflow is contradictory and hard. This is for all air cooling no liquid cooling at all Will use a Noctua NH-D15S with dual 140mm fans and an Asus Tuf RTX 3090 video card. Only 2 SATA SSDs and no HDDs nor optical drives Does not have to be whisper quiet, but...

Now that I think of it more as I myself am going back to Alder Lake 12900KS specifically from AMD, shouldn't WIN10 work fine as long as the e cores and p cores have static frequencies set? I mean since Intel Coffee Lake and going all the way through Rocket Lake, And with AMD starting with...

I mean their Alder Lake CPUs still top out at 8 P cores. Rest of cores are efficiency cores? Is this a design choice or a technical limitation? I mean would they have been able to make a 10 core CPU with just 10 P cores as 4 e cores take space of 1 P core I heard. The Intel Alder Lake P...

I notice Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour on my Core i7 12700K with all e cores and hyper threading disabled at 5GHz all 8 P-cores is always taking 100% of 1 core while all other cores are unused. Now I know old games would never use more than 1 core, but it seems odd it would need 100%...

I just switched out my 12700K from a DDR4 Asus Tuf DDR4 board and put it in an Asus Prime Z690-A DDR5 board and 6000MHz DDR5 RAM Same exact cooler and case and etc.. On the Asus Tuf Z690 WiFi D4, running OCCT Variable Large Dataset Test, temps peaked in high 70s and averaged in mid to high 60s...

This is not meant to start a flame war by fanboys. I want an honest answer as I have read so many different things conflicting each other It seems intel still has a slight edge in gaming by like 3-5% on a clock for clock basis as some said games are still better optimized for intel Core...

I had a cable Internet and TV package installed a couple of weeks ago. They put in a splitter for my modem an for 1 TV with a box. I wanted to connect more TVs without a box to get clear QAM broadcast channels and non HD cable stations and had more coax cables outside feeding different rooms...
