    [SOLVED] Lowest CL i can get on a 3000 mhz cl16 stick by downtuning to 2666?

    Sorry, forgot to update the thread. It didn't allow me go below 15-15-15-35. Also, voltage was capped at 1.45. Not much room for improvement but hey, cl15 (with 1t) is better than cl16 (with 2t) which was default.

    [SOLVED] Lowest CL i can get on a 3000 mhz cl16 stick by downtuning to 2666?

    Hey everyone I recently got myself an i5 10400f (was cheaper than 3600 and i am biased towards intel) i also got a b460 board and gskill 3000 mhz cl16 sticks. (1.35v) Now i know b460 limits i5 processors to 2666 mhz and doesn't let you overclock the ram bandwith. But you CAN downtune the...

    i3 9100 vs i5 9400 for graphic design work

    Nope i already have gtx 1060. In fact, i'll be buying the f variant of 10400 so display outputs don't even matter to me. I'm all about vrm. Let's hope asus can gain me as a staying customer for future purchases.

    i3 9100 vs i5 9400 for graphic design work

    Well my overall budget is 3000 liras (at the maximum). Ram already takes 640 liras so i'm left with 2360. i5 10400: 1550 liras which leaves me with 800 something liras. Msi board is 700 while asus is 850 liras. I'd like to get a msi mortar board but it is 1050 liras. No dice. Yes! This is the...

    i3 9100 vs i5 9400 for graphic design work

    No i meant the passive heatsinks around the cpu slot. I already have 212 evo for cpu :D Sorry i'm not really big on pc tech terms. I meant the heatsinks that cover the mosfets. The only reason i'm reluctant to buy those cheap mothearboards is: they don't have heatsinks on top of mosfets. The...

    I mean, right? As long as i'm not using a K series and the case is well ventilated, do i even need the heatsinks? Thanks man. I'm still reluctant but not as much as before.

    i3 9100 vs i5 9400 for graphic design work

    I will get 16gb of ddr4 ram and yes i'm aware i'll have to buy a new motherboard too and that brings a new question: Do i buy the i5 10400 or not? Because if i buy the 10400, i limit myself to only two motherboards: ASUS PRIME B460M-K or MSI B460M PRO Even buying these three components will...

    i3 9100 vs i5 9400 for graphic design work

    Thanks man. I just took a deeper look at the market and it seems that i5 10400 would be much better suited for me but if i buy the 10400, i'll have to buy the cheapest motherboard that there is. ASUS PRIME B460M-K or MSI B460M PRO I've got no money left to buy a better mobo if i get 10400...

    i3 9100 vs i5 9400 for graphic design work

    Hi everyone First off, please, no offense but i'm dead set between these two so no new suggestions please. With that out of the way; I'm putting together a new pc and i'm on a very tight budget and i'm an intel fanboy with no shame. I've already compared the gaming performance and for gaming...

    Mixing two memories with exact same specs

    Hmmm... both detailed answers. My questions wasn't about dual channel(it was about voltage stability etc.) but that's good to know too (I know about the dual channel rule. slot 1 and 3 should be from the same kit and slot 2 and 4 should be from the same kit. Not 1-2 and 3-4.) Actually, even...
