    My i9-14900K Benchmarks

    In games and cpu-z bench, all cores go to 5.7, with one dipping then coming back every now and then. ...but most productity, NO. For example, Cinebench 2026 all cores are 4.7 - 5.3. Tho I imagine if I had 360 AIO and set the voltage 1.3X the cores would maintain 5.5 - 5.7. This is mainly a...

    My i9-14900K Benchmarks

    FWIW... I am on air, and prefer air, so this is the best I'll ever be able to do on this platform, cpu wise. Note I have been running a 104.23 base clock for over a year now and have noticed zero issues, I credit Z790. 1.39v on memory.

    My i9-14900K Benchmarks

    Why change out your 13600K? The heat, power suckage from a 13600 to a 14900K is massive. If the answer is because you're [H]ard, fair enough... just curious.

    My i9-14900K Benchmarks

    First, Looks very nice! ..but why tho? 83c on a 360 AIO with DDR4? I'm getting ~10800 in cpu z for reference.

    Crimson Desert

    Wasn't people's biggest complaint about AC Valhalla the bloat? Now this with extra bloat and it's good? Or is it more like Dragon's Dogma, with even less story but more jank?

    Crimson Desert

    Initial reaction is Dragon's Dogma vibe, or AC Valhalla with extra bloat

    The Nvidia GeForce3 launched 25 years ago — underappreciated at launch, its impact shaped the industry

    If memory serves I went from the GeForce 2 GTS to this and was not impressed. Part of why I skipped GeForce 4 and went 9800 Pro instead. Thereafter, learned my fanboy lesson as stuck with ATI instead of jumping on the GeForce 6800GT.

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    Didn't know I was blessed when building in 2023. Ram was $50 for 32GB DDR4. My (then) 12600KF was $140, and my mobo was $120. There's no way I'd build a system today. I feel I WAY overspent on a 5070Ti @ $750, but since I got it tax free and $400 for my 7800XT I figured let's give RT a go...

    591.74 New DLSS 4.5

    I've held off on the new drivers because I don't want a reduction in FPS should I choose to use DLSS Q. I'd rather the better FPS than the slight improvement of 4.5.... seemed like the performance hit wasn't necessarily worth it, or do I have that wrong when it comes to upscaling? (as opposed...

    RTX 5070 Ti Reviews + Discussion

    I got it tuned a bit better now, thanks to some replies... 3175 - 3300 GPU (no undevolt) and +1962 mem + 9% power... not sure how close to 5080... maybe it could do better with 15% power? Put your R26 GPU scores here...
