Core i5

What do you think about the ditching of the brilliant Core i3 / i5 / i7 / i9 naming in favor of Intel Core Ultra? This will start with Arrow Lake chips later this year. Meteor Lake has already adopted the new naming for Mobile CPUs. What would you have preferred? The new naming or the old...

Hello all, Can someone tell me the differences between theses Intel socket 1151 CPUs. a Xeon E3-1220 v5 (Skylake), a Xeon E3-1220 v6 (Kaby Lake), and a Core i5-7400 (Kaby Lake). Regarding performance, power consumption, heat, etc. Thank you.

I'd had a laptop running a Pentium 3558U processor (2 cores / 1.7 GHz) which laptop has been dead and dead for many years now. It used to have 4 GB RAM and a 500 GB Hard Drive and Integrated Graphics (Haswell). Used to run Windows 10 and performed steadily and quite well. However, I had replaced...

Hi, got new PC. Core i5 12400F and AsRock H670 Steel Legend board. I updated BIOS to the fresh 11.04 and ran popular CinebenchR23 CPU test and was surprised. While my single core result was completely normal as expected (1710-1725), CPU's multicore performance is very low (below 10000 instead of...

I would be delighted if you should share the system specifications of your current machine or a favorite machine from the past. We're not aiming to outdistance other users by making this a performance competition. It is just about the hardware you love and the system you're most fond of. In the...

Guys I have a T430 with 8GB RAM and i5-3320M 2.6Ghz cpu. Battery’s dead and there’s a newer BIOS version but I can’t update it without battery. It was very slow and stuck every time I run a heavy software like visual studio. It is having windows 10 pro and I recently noticed that it limits the...

I'm currently running a intel pentium g2010 and i want to upgrade to a faster cpu, maybe a core i3 or i5, but i don't know what cpu maybe compatable to my bios, My MOBO is an ECS H61H2-M17, LGA 1155, and my bios version is American Megatrends 4.6.5, 6/19/2013. If possible I'd like to upgrade...

I'm running out of ideas on this one. I just purchased a few new parts to finally update my old gaming computer. Ended up swapping out the motherboard, cpu and ram. Just to be clear the computer did run fine before the changes. At first nothing would happen when I tried to turn it on, but I...

I just bought the Core i5-10400 because I needed an upgrade from my current AMD Ryzen 3 2200G but I cannot find if it will be compatible with my current motherboard which is a MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC? Do I need to upgrade my motherboard too?

Hi everyone, I am struggling between choosing between these two CPU's (core i5 3230M vs core i5 - 5300U) I know they are quite old but I don't have any other option as they are part of two laptops and I have to choose one. I've looked at the benchmarks between these two on multiple sites but...

Hey everyone, Last night (May 28), I was cleaning out my PC, getting rid of dust, etc. and I re-applied thermal paste as the last time I had done so was around a year or two ago, as I was having problems with my PC overheating and crashing, etc. I put everything back together in place, and when...

I recently bought an Acer Aspire 5 series laptop but have been encountering some strange battery issue. Although the battery is reducing at a fine speed, but the battery remaining time indicator is kind of a joke. It goes from 5 hrs to 1 hr 40 min and back to 3h 35 min in a second when i change...

Hi guys! Im planning on upgrading my rig to a GTX 1080 to replace my 970. Its still good but I want better frames in the games i play (mostly COD MW2019 and preparing for FS2020 and Doom Eternal) at 1080p and Im thinking of going 1440p in the near future. I currently run a i5 3470 and Im...

I currently have an i7 8700T that seems to be failing (constant BSOD's and hanging especially during times of high file I/O despite clean install of Windows 10). So I figured it's time I upgrade to something much better and more reliable. What's the ideal CPU for an LGA 1151-300 board when being...

I have seen advertisements for gaming laptops showing specs like this: i7 7700 hq + 228 GB SSD + 1TB HDD 7200 + 16 GB RAM + Nvidia GTX 1050 4G Everything I have read online, including Nvidias own site, says that the GTX 1050 only has 2G and that only the GTX 1050ti has 4G. Is this correct? If...

Processor - i5-3330 GPU - GT620 I did some research on the forums and got to know that I can get a 1050ti without bottle-necking the CPU. I could either spend 500$ to upgrade the PC with better GPU,SSD,Case and PSU or build a new one for 1500$. Bottom Line - 1 - If I upgrade,I wont get much...

Hi, I am a first time builder looking to make sure that my CPU and GPU cooling system is set up properly. Since I do not have enough room above my motherboard for the CPU or GPU cooler I had to put one on the back and one on the front. I put the GPU cooler towards the front because my case has...

Upgraded good old windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit, then decided to buy an SSD to migrate the OS. The first SSD I had to return because it was not being detected by the AHCI enabled BIOS or the OS itself. No unallocated space found in disk management. Today the replacement came in and the...

Hi guys. So this just freaked me out. It's about right around 3AM this happened and according to movies that's when the spirits start acting up or so they say. Anyway, my computer was completely shut off when suddenly it started flickering. I could hear the audio jack, like the sound it makes...

So every time I turn on my PC, the internet slows down for every other device online EXCEPT for my computer. My PC uses all of the internet and no other device can get online, not even to search a webpage. Sometimes it boots others off of the internet. How do I fix this?

I have a 430w PSU and looking to buy a GPU. Without the GPU the wattage is 242w. With the GPU the wattage is 332w. So basically my question is, is a 430w power supply enough for 332w? Its 100w more so it is more than enough right? Here is my part list btw. http://imgur.com/edC5sWr Thanks.
