As quoted here:
I totally agree. However, I believe not all CPU's are showing any sign of lasting damage - In a number of cases simply enabling all limiters as per Intel specification seems to resolve any stability issues.
No, no it's not.
CPU's are binned according to clock speed, quite often certain CPU's will be binned at a lower clock speed than the speeds they're realistically capable of to fill a popular slot in the market. Such CPU's can be pushed to higher...
....
My CPU's showed no observable degradation under any workload presented to the processors in question. There was nothing to 'narrow down' as the CPU's in question handled every workload presented to them in a faultless manner. Unlike the...
Except I don't need specialized tools to observe the possibility of operational degradation regarding the CPU's in question, which was my point from the beginning. No goal posts were shifted whatsoever.
In the case of this very thread, Intel...
Well if that's the case, than you can't claim electromigration can be a problem during the lifespan of a CPU without specialized tools. So checkmate, my point still stands.
The 8700k in my sig has been running at between 5GHz with AVX offset and...
So CPU's degrade as a result of overclocking, but you need pretty specialized equipment to measure the degradation...
...Yeah, no.
In the time I owned each and every overclocked CPU, by the time I was ready to pass that CPU on it was still...
I've been overclocking since the Celeron 300a days, possibly earlier if you consider I have a Commodore Amiga running an overclocked 68030 25MHz @ 40MHz. I've never encountered any degradation as a result of overclocking in all the years I've...
Holy hell...1.6v vcore?
I find it ironic that we moved away from Netburst and back to the P6 architecture due to power consumption/thermal issues, and now here we are with processors that run as micro furnaces to the point that an AIO is a...
I love Michael Mann Movies. Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice & Blackhat are all awesome films. The shootout in Heat is simply breathtaking, as well as auditory bliss; while the night club scene in Collateral is possibly one of Tom Cruze's best...
You have to be a certain age to appreciate the magic of owning a copy of a movie....and that age is old enough to remember a day before VHS Rental Stores existed......back when if you didn't see a movie in the movie theater, well, there's a...
My 8700k, which is roughly the same era as the 1700x, has been running @ 4.8Ghz all cores synced with the power limit maxed out and AVX offset disabled since day dot - No problems at all. In game, all cores/threads hit a full 4.8Ghz and stay there.
Sorry my friend, I avoid VM's with GPU passthrough - Proton/DXVK/VKD3D is enough for me these days. Many platforms, like Roblox, detect if they're being run in a VM and refuse to run anyway. Certain client side anticheat solutions also detect if...
If you're in a corporate environment then you have distros with support like Red Hat. As an end user, Microsoft doesn't provide support. I get more support from visiting Ubuntu's forums or even Linux Mint's compared to anything from Microsoft...
Honestly? You seem to have more of a problem with the fact that I'm claiming that it's entirely possible that one can use Linux daily with few issues whatsoever, than myself having an apparent problem with the unfounded belief that people 'must...
