I'm looking to do some mobile graphic design work. I'm not too concerned about the weight so I've been looking at Gaming Laptops around $800 budget. I've landed on two that I'm wondering which might be the better choice. The Acer is a certified reman at around $700 and the Dell will be about...
Hello!
The specs of the flagship Intel CPUs (i9-12900K, i9-13900K, i9-14900K) do mention support for ECC un-buffered memory modules.
However, I could not find a single motherboard that supports this feature!
Some Gigabyte motherboards do support the usage of ECC UDIMMs, but they mention that...

Hello there.
Purchased my Intel 13700k somewhat year ago. Everything was fine, I suppose, or at least I didn't have any certain or critical problems with the hardware at all.

I have a South Korean laptop that has Nvidia GTX 1060 and an 8th-gen Core i7 CPU, which is pretty potent, in my opinion. But newer games need more demanding hardware, and I care less about gaming as time passes- I'm losing...

Where can I get a 13700K cpu schematic that shows core locations by core number?
I have a problem with cores #5 and #7, they run much hotter than the others often spiking to 96C while everything else is much cooler. Hopefully that's a result of a bad TIM application or cooler tightening...

Basically, I flipped my 4070 system right before black friday to upgrade my cpu and motherboard to ddr5 and get a new case at 0 cost, I side-graded my gpu to a 6800xt but the performance difference is massive in a bad way. I know they're supposed to preform the same, which is why I don't...
I've read some old posts where people are saying Intel Arc only supports DirectX12 natively. For older ones like 9, 10 and 11, it uses some "DXVK" thing which isn't like native DiretX12. It's like some emulation.
I also read some article saying that Intel is dropping support for DX9 so the...
