Hey everyone, I recently did a a few tests with my gaming laptop (MSI GL63 8SE) as it had cooling issues. Those are fixed but as I tested I noticed that even with P95 pushing the CPU to max load it never ever went past 1995Mhz, which is a good 205Mhz short of the 2.2GHz its supposed to pull. Of...

1) Are integrated graphics worth it ? 2) Which one should I get ? AMD or Intel ? 3) Should I use stock cooler or get a better one? 4) Are there any heat issues? 5) Does performance drop after a long hours of gaming ? Im not that knowledgeable in P.C. I mainly play Dota 2 , Counter Strike...

13700k on msi 690, Nh-D15, 32gb 6400/C32, 3080 ftw3, 850w ti I forgot all about the intel 13/14 gen issues, as mine doesn't crash. I just came across it again (too busy for too long, but that's done tg). I see everyone screaming to update your bios right away! Few go on to mention that you...

Hi! I'm building my first PC, primarily for gaming (but I don’t need to play all AAA games on release) and video editing in DaVinci Resolve, with a lifespan of about 5 years in mind. However, I’m struggling to choose the right CPU. Normally, I’d lean towards Intel for their Quick Sync and H.265...

I was gifted a large lot of Intel 3500 480 gb SSD's and they all worked fine descent health no bad sector no error's except for one that had one bad sector. I used Disk genius to scan surface and it memorised where the bad sector is, I went Repair... and it did no more bad sector... disk works...

I recently got a 1440p 480hz monitor and I realized that some of my games are not running smooth despite high fps counters. I opened up MSI afterburner with the frametime graph and saw a cyclic stutter that would occur 2-3 times per second. The weird part was that the stutter only existed for...

When I play gpu heavy games, everything runs smoothly around 90 fps but sometimes I get massive fps drops (90 average to 15 average), when that happens, the bottom left corner of the screen says I have very high gpu latency (100+) and this lasts for about 10 long seconds. I have tried about...

Hi, Just last night I replaced my i7-13700kf (Fried through 8 months of abuse with the Intel stuff) with a new i9-14900k. The system runs fine and at first I didn't notice any problems, it's completely usable and doesn't crash. The throttling is clear during benchmarks/stress tests. Intel XTU...

12 Years ago a built my first (and only) PC. It has been fantastic, upgraded with a larger SSD and a graphics card GTX650 Ti along the way. Base is ASUS P8H67M-LE with Intel I7-2600k. It's still blazing fast but with OS support coming to an end I am looking to rebuild, changing processor means...

Hi! I'm currently talking to intel to RMA my cpu, and they've asked for proof of purchase. The issue is that the first name on the receipt is my moms. Everything else on there is mine, email, phone, adress, etc. If I explained that do you think they would deny the RMA? Could I change the first...

I was stress testing CPU to check my temps and heard some noises from pc then it shut off with some smoke coming from the set of transistors above the CPU. I was using my i5 13600k at the time it happened and after failing to boot up over and over (mb flashes red cpu led debug for half a second...

I've got an i7-13700KF that I haven't used much because I've been travelling. If I assume there has been no degradation, is it recommended to update to the newest BIOS (0x12B) and what voltages should I aim to keep the CPU under during stress testing with cinebench to avoid instability and...

I have the same pc for 6 years. I want to buy a new one, its a gamer pc. I have some requirements for it. It must not have loudy fans(i am sensible to noise, im a level 2 autist) and must not have LED lights because it distracts me). I will use this new pc mostly to emulation and to play Elden...

I recently reset my PC because it was always under full load. Before resetting, I installed a cracked version of Corel Draw from a friend, and ever since, my CPU usage has been at 100%. I tried multiple antivirus apps, but none of them solved the problem. I endured the 100% usage for two years...

#Intel #RaptorLake Hi everyone, I'm sharing a way to check if your CPU is still working fine (Applicable to 14th generation, I don't have a 13th gen so I'm not sure) - Applicable to both laptops and desktops, as I have both: i9-14900hx (laptop) and i9-14900 (Base 65w and also updated 0x129...

I have a laptop with a gtx 1060 gpu and a i7 8th gen intel cpu i have been noticing "device window manager" taking up cpu usage while i play games but to be honest every game i play pretty much unless it takes like nothing to run it has this problem... i have recently clean installed my gpu...

Earlier, two of my RAM slots stopped working, so I sent my motherboard for an RMA. However, after receiving a new motherboard replacement, none of the RAM slots are working now. (At least before, I could use the other two slots to run my PC, but now I can't even do that.) Motherboard model...

Problem: Intel AX211 WiFi drops for a second or two Hey y'all. I am having issues with my MSI Z790 Gaming Pro Wifi 6E adaptor that is running on Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E Ax211 160MHz driver. This MOBO is brand new (like 6 hours new) and my previous one was doing the same, so I upgraded "for nothing"...

Hello, I'm planning to purchase the Elgato Game Capture 4K X. I want to know if my laptop is compatible with it considering my use case. Here's what I intend to do and not do with it: Record gameplay at 1080p, 30 fps, including in-game audio. Use it with my PlayStation 3 (via an HDMI...

I got a new system going with a ASRock B760 Pro RS/D4 motherboard and i5-14500 processor. The Windows 11 install kept crashing with a whea_uncorrectable_error problem every time at the same point, so I replaced the board. With the new board I was able to install Windows 11 with no problems. At...

Hi all I am only getting 35k on cinebench on my 13900k but i see videoes and everyone is getting like 37-40k is there something wrong with my system (hope cpu hasnt blown up) or do i just need to OC or something? Or perhaps I am deluded and the score is perfectly fine.

My i7-11700KF always stays at 50c minimum when im not playing or doing anything at idle and when i go to any game it usually stays between 95-105c at all times even when just 15% of the CPU is being used in a game. When i run Prime95 it goes to 100c automatically and stays there but the CPU...

Hello there After Intel's statement about faulty processors and after I found my 13700k processor cant handle overclocking anymore, I started thinking about switching to AMD. I never used AMD processors before and I dont really understand their branding. After some research 7800x3d is the best...

So i found and was planning on buying a Arctic freezer 36 for my Intel I7 11700F. I read a little more and found out that the freezer 36 is compatible with LGA1700 sockets but my CPU socket looks to be a LGA1200 socket. I was wondering if i can buy the freezer 36 and still use it on my current...

Friends, I have the 14700k. At first I have an undervolt offset of around -0.160 and a clock decreased by 100MHz (5.4GHz). The temperature is under control, the voltage varies from 0.65 to 1.41 during use. However, I believe there is something wrong with the voltage/clock or some problem related...

Hi, I bougt a Gaming Notebook a month ago because I plan on traveling a lot and I love the efficency on Notebooks because Electricity prices at our place skyrocketed. My Notebook has a I7-13620H. Is the Intel CPU issue also on their notebook CPUs? I couldn´t find anything on the internet...

I recently sent my nephew a CPU. I sent him an Intel® Core™ i9-10850K Processor. I did not have the CPU HeatSink for that processor. However, I did have the CPU HeatSink for the Intel® Core™ i7-10700 Processor on hand. The spec sheet clearly states the "Thermal Solution Specification" for each...

Hello, my brother was looking to upgrade to a 7800x3d and nxzt n7 b650e, when i made my pc I was stupid enough not to look at the qvl list and bought 16gb x 4 for an AMD motherboard (CMH64GX5M4B5600Z36) and not intel. I was going to eventually buy intel compatible ram (CMH64GX5M4B5600C36) and...

Can I somehow fix it without changing my CPUs and gain some more fps in game?

Hi, I've been planning on buying my first gaming laptop after owning a PC. I know a thing about PCs but only a bit on laptops. I'm from the Philippines and it's too difficult to find a really good deal around here. I play DotA2, Valorant, some RDR2, and some other AAA games. Some coding here and...

I noticed that XMP was disabled in my BIOS settings and I'd heard before that it can increase RAM performance, I searched around and it seemed pretty safe so I enabled XMP and my system would no longer post. After a few failed attempts, and some troubling noises, it booted to the American...
