ICE-DWB12 - got it second hand with already delidded 13900KF. Currently running 5.6GHz on six cores, 5.7GHz on two and 4.5GHz on sixteen at 1.32V. It is not optimal at all and I will probably drop to 5.6GHz all P-core as that needed much lower voltage or perhaps add +1 on some multipliers or do...

Definitely liquid hellium overclockers will be interrested in 14900KF to break some records... https://hwbot.org/benchmark/cpu_frequency/halloffame Otherwise not sure who will have cooling for this CPU I run my 13900KF with direct die water cooling and I cannot imagine running this CPU at stock...

It is funny people don't mention PSU Power supply is fundamental system component - especially for these CPUs Imho it is Intel's design flaw to release 300+W CPU especially given motherboard manufacturers on one side cut costs on good components and on the other side use "throw more voltage -...

From what I noticed some people are completely oblivious to effect called gamma shift. Personally I see even the most miniscule amount of it and it ruins image. Especially the only aspect of VA panels where they are supposed to be better - black and near black. Even worse with VA panels I...

Personally I won't be putting NVMe drive to my Pi5 though PCI-e. If anything USB3 is fast enough for larger disks - it only needs to be as fast as ethernet and currently its 1GBit in my home router. With 2.5GBit LAN I would need ethernet card. USB 3.0 is 5Gbit so either its 5GBit for two USB...

This software is very finnicky and I remember having issues as well. Unfortunately my memory of this isn't very good because I just fiddled with things until it worked and then because it looked correct ever since I forgot about the whole topic. I didn't need to redo calibration again. I did...

Recently I acquired Dell P1110. So now I have a backup plan should flyback transformer in my FW900 fail 😎

Playing with RPi5 8GB since few weeks and so far I am quite pleased with it. CPU is really fast compared to Pi4 - no longer it feels like underclocked Phenom I but more like early Core i5, especially OCd to 2.9GHz we are talking early Core i5 levels. Compared to how it all worked in the past...

Wow I remember my brother having P1110 and I borrowed it from him once (also to fix G2 issue) If he didn't sell it yet I'll pick it up from him or just notify to never let go of it just in case my FW900 needs resuscitation

At least people won't be able to complain Intel supports this socket for only two generations 🤪

Brother got Pioneer Kuro 5090 and I also saw bunch of Panasonic plasmas. Panasonic always have some banding issues and later "600Hz" models have irritating dynamic banding where it is seen when you move eyes quickly. Pioneer on the other hand has perfect gradation - it uses dithering which up...

Preordered RPi5 about before Jeff's video on it finished playing. Don't really need it as but faster CPU and more ram (vs RPi4 4GB I own now) will be a nice upgrade when I do use it - maybe I'll get less irritated by Linux if it runs faster :)

Definitely it won't If TV's had simplest to implement integer/point scaling it would be roughly true but unfortunately they almost exclusively do not (there were some exceptions) and rather use some kind of blurry upscaling. It is less of an issue on modern GPU's as they can do integer...

If you have RetroTink you can use VGA CRT - much cheaper than 15KHz CRT with good resolution tube. HDMI to VGA converters do not add latency.

DLSS3 should be good on 500Hz monitor Myself I find 138Hz OLED good enough for modern games For 2D games still nothing beats CRT Don't be silly Any Q3 player knows this game is best played at exactly 333Hz
