CPUs

I changed my motherboard to a new Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite v2 in December, since then I have been facing random bsod after login into Windows. Today strangely it gave a complete new BSOD "netwtw06.sys" Google search revealed it to be related to Wifi card (Asus PCI card using Intel 8260)...

Ok..... So I've facing some weird issue with my RX 6600 gpu that i recently purchased. While gaming, I'm getting ~60 ish fps no matter what settings i use.... Tried both high and lowest settings. NO VSYNC or FPS LIMITER is active. The annoying part is , the GPU is not being fully utilized...

We could herewith consider the futuristic perspective of Year 2037-2038 - about 15 years since the release of Intel gen 12, 13 and 14. Going back 15 years in time we would summarily witness the Core i7-965 Extreme Edition with release date marking November 2008. You can still do a lot on that...

Hi guys, I'm horrible with this technical stuff. My prebuilt pc came with a Ryzen 3 3100 cpu and a faulty ai cooling system. I bought a Ryzen 5 5600 (regular version) to replace them, I'm using the stock cooling system it came with. And I'm wondering if its okay to update to 2.71. This is...

This is another illuminating question that would be regarded differently depending upon the particular requirements of said forum user and depending upon the deeper intentions we harbor regarding the term 'requirements.' It would be beautiful to skim upon the outline of the question, answering...

Have you worked on one of the CPUs mentioned within the title? Have you got a synonymous system today? For what would you use such a system currently? The clicking of whitened keys, that superior and unrivalled moment, when to have 256 MB RAM sent you rocking through exhilarating moods and the...

We all know that on paper the 5950X has four more cores and twice the threads compared to the 5900x, but when it comes to how each core was architectured, engineered and made, is there a difference there? Because if the only difference is that AMD decided to just add four more physical cores...

I know that currently, not counting in the video card, my machine would strike up performance within the higher and more enthusiast numerals. Yet I wonder if in, say, 15 years from now it would be possible to enter the world of then current software (if there is an OS still fully supported and...

Hey everyone. I'm planning on upgrading my 7 year old GTX 1070 but my budget is a bit limited, at about 400 euros. I live in Greece and I have found a really good deal on an RX 6700 XT from Powercolor at about 360 euros, but these cards are selling fast so I have to make a desicion soon. I was...

When do you think that moment first started to take place, inadvertently at first, later massively and boldly, onto the exponential cadence of hardware and software development? Say, in the early 1990s there was a lot of software doing synonymous things the software of today does. Yet you could...

For the Consumer Fastest Intel CPU in 2003 - Pentium 4 EE @ 3.2 GHz (130 nm / 1 core and 2 threads / 3.2 GHz) Fastest Intel CPU in 2013 - Core i7-4960X (22 nm / 6 cores and 12 threads / up to 4.0 GHz) Fastest Intel CPU in 2023 - Core i9-13900KS (10 nm / 24 cores and 32 threads / up to 6.0...

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...

What do you think would be the fastest CPUs fronting both the AMD and Intel lines by the end of next year? How would a Core i9-13900KS compare? I know there is not a lot of information online and that mostly this would be guesswork, yet it would be cool to find out what the people here think...

I know this topic is in way of major discussion and that innumerable facts and points of view may matter drastically within it. Yet I feel tempted to find out what you think and which side you are on! Do write up! Thank you! (I'm personally on Intel's side of the boat.)

I have two CPUs that support TPM 2.0 and have 2 cores, meaning they cover the recommended system requirements of Windows 11. However, the CPUs are considered "unsupported", not because they are too weak, but just because they aren't listed in the list of supported CPUs for Windows 11. Those are...

Hello. I want to buy two new laptops for basic use (LibreOffice, web browsing, downloading, making archives, using Camtasia Studio, etc...). I got a list of different laptops, and all of them have one CPU, which is one of the following three: Intel Celeron N4020 Intel Celeron N4120 AMD...

Can I have a designer CPU, if I have enough money to pay Intel, AMD, or another chip-maker? Is it possible to buy a machine that can make CPUs? If I have software that is capable of operating only within certain hardware, which is no longer supported and the compatible CPUs and motherboards are...

Hi. As far as i know, my CPU, AMD A4-9120e, is locked and it can not be overlooked. When I open Windows Task Manager and go to Performance, it shows that the base speed is 1.50Ghz (Base speed: 1.50 GHz). However, the CPU's speed can be below or above 1.50 GHz. If I leave the system idle, it may...

Hey everyone! Since there is very limited data on AGESA 1207 reliability on 300 and 400 series boards, I thought i'd create this discussion piece to talk about potential issues from and great things from user expereince that have come about with AMD's latest agesa code working on 4 and...

I'm looking for a new and more powerful CPU to install on my old computer. The computer's motherboard is LGA 1155. What is the newest and most powerful CPU compatible with this motherboard (if such CPUs are still being produced)? Currently, the computer uses Intel i-5 Core. I need a new CPU...

Hello. Can someone explain to me what new features do new CPUs have? For example, what is the difference between AMD's overkill (best) CPU of the year 2021, and AMD's overkill (best) CPU of the year 2022? If the clock rate (GHz) no longer grows, and the number of transistors no longer grows...

I have bent pins on my CPU, the pc is on and working fine after I bent them back into place enough to fit them into the AM4 slot on my motherboad (AMD needless to say at this point) I'm just wondering if there would be any problems with my PC now... the PC is booting, I'm gaming just fine, good...

My CPU is always at Boost? Or Just Core 0 is always at boost? Not sure if this is normal or not but it's freaking me out. My temps seem ok, and my games seem to run just fine, but I'm just not sure if these reads are normal? I've updated all drivers via the software and have the latest Bios...

Very suddenly there's the smell of electricity, I'm sure you know the scent. Like an electric fire or something, everything is working fine, my CPU temp is 35c 99% of the time, my GPU is an RTX so the idle temp is around 40c... so I'm not sure what the deal is, I see no smoke, no fire (knock on...

Hey everyone. It's been almost 5 years since I last posted a thread, and the reason to that is because I was still satisfied with my pc. Even if it was low end, I could play and do whatever I want, to an extent of course. It's sad to say but, my pc is getting a bit obsolete (in my opinion) so...

I am not sure if this forum is the right place to ask this question but i saw some similar posts so here goes: In my long-ongoing quest to understand how a computer works, I recently watched a lot of videos on pcb design and VRMs. As far as I understand it, the exclusive task of VRMs is to...

Hi Guys! I was wondering if you might be able to help me? I'm basically wanting to update my PC as it is long overdue (nothing updated in about 6/7 years since it got put together). Due to all the working from home going on my boss has agreed to get some computer components for me to update my...

Some 300 series motherboards don't even include or mention Windows 7 or 8.1 on their support pages, and installing Win7 requires some fooling around with USB drivers and other stuff... Same for recent AMD mobos... So how long until new motherboards completely strip away any legacy OS support...
