I'm on an i5-3550. I think I'm fine for nowish but I'm probably going to start re-encoding several hour long raw OBS mp4 videos soon so that'll be fun and may merit a new processor. Don't really want to dig into my lovely case though. Was a pain in the rear end to get that motherboard and io plate in there properly.

Roadmap leaks happened again. Source is dude posting screenshots on anantech forum so  Cannon Lake isn't coming til end of 2017. Coffee Lake is a refresh of the skylake architecture for notebooks with hexacore CPUs. Kaby lake Quad core notebook cpus won't have iris pro. SkyLake will get a refresh with it instead. Coffee Lake may get iris pro too and will replace Kaby Lake > 15 watts.

New Zealand can eat me posted:^ Weren't there recently a whole crop of graphics cards that had exploding caps?? heh A batch of EVGA 1070s (and maybe 1080s? think it was just 1070s) had bad caps and the problem was a little exacerbated since the VRMs weren't cooled as well as they could have been. 'Course everyone blamed the VRMs for awhile even though they stayed within spec in worst case scenarios but putting thermal pads on them dropped their temp by 20ish celsius easily so EVGA still hosed up a bit.

Page 1 they state that they're using DDR4 at 3200mhz for all the systems that support it. For ryzen that's 2933mhz when 3200 doesn't work and for ddr3 stuff that's 2400mhz.

eames posted:I don't know what it is but I can confirm that BF1 is the only game that runs absolutely terrible on my Haswell 4C/4T e3-1225v3 with a 1060-6GB. So bad that I haven't played it for more than 10 minutes. The resolution didn't matter, I guess it's just very heavily multithreaded. Yeah BF1's engine has weird problems with 4C/4T processors and will decide to drop down to the 30s in fps for the fun of it. It's a first person shooter so that's not really ideal even with g-sync.

Intel dropped some info on the $2000 i9. It can hit 4.4 ghz on the fastest two cores and again costs $2000 which is twice the 16c/32t threadripper. http://www.anandtech.com/show/11698/intel-finalizes-skylakex-processor-specifications-18cores-44-ghz-165w-on-september-25th

I'm glad the only problems my Surface Pro 4 have had are the bluetooth/wifi ribbon cable sticking out a bit from the top of the glass and that one time the touch screen stopped functioning until I rebooted the thing. So nothing really major just hope I never accidentally cut that cable on something. It actually looked like a sharp needle of glue or some stuff til you look at it closer since it's a weird color.

I dunno, Someone supposedly got one of those 15w quad core laptops and benchmarked it and had it performing around the slower skylake and kabylake 45w quad cores (6300H, 7300H). Could be full of poo poo but we'll know more next week. http://laptopmedia.com/highlights/intel-core-i7-8550u-coffee-lake-specs-performance-and-detailed-benchmarks/

I mean you could get a cheap xeon server like a Dell T20 or Lenovo T140 but those $200-$400 servers are just quad core haswell xeons. Make good 4 bay Plex Servers/NASes though.

Even a pastebin for gently caress's sake.

I believe that power supply only supports either a single 4 pin power or a single 8 pin power CPU slot. You'd need a new power supply to support 8 pin + 4 pin CPU power. The PSU only supports one CPU power cable and a cable that has 8 pin power and 4 pin power split up as two connectors on the same cable is out of spec for that PSU.

EVGA will work that I think the only Corsairs that would work are the Axi series or the rm series/other ones with more than 2 cpu/pcie connector slots. The Corsair PSUs seem to share those slots on a power supply but your current one only has two slots total so you'd be able to either power the CPU or power your GPU, not both. You'd also need the correct second CPU power cord for your old power supply and can't use the PCIe power cord for either CPU power slot on the mobo. edit: A PSU with 2 EPS connectors in the tech specs means it has 2 4+4 CPU connectors (which means it has enough for an 8 pin cpu and a 4 pin cpu power slot) MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Oct 21, 2018 |

LRADIKAL posted:If you're lucky the HDMI-CEC will work perfectly, too. This actually has been a biiiiig plus for me since controlling it from my x900f's remote has been really nice and 98% problem free. Having the play, pause, fast forward, etc buttons all work and being able to navigate with the menu navigation buttons has been great. Only issues have been it ignoring the controller and/or lagging behind with commands from the tv remote when the shield tv wakes up from sleep mode. I did have to turn off "control tv power state" stuff and some of the "swap to this hdmi input" stuff though.

GiantRockFromSpace posted:Quick and concise, thanks a lot! Being more specific, it seems to be an issue on 12th and 13th gen Intel CPUs with some Koei-Temco games and others that use the same engine, that seems it keeps switching threads between P and E cores so it stutters constantly despite having no trouble running the game otherwise. Cause no other game has done that for me and I usually play beefier games with 8 browser tabs open lol. oh yeah both of the Nioh games, Stranger of Paradise, and Wo Long all love trying to run on the E-cores and will play horribly til you restrict those games away from those cores.
