its not even a close contest here when 13600K is barely more expensive than a 7600X (lmao) while the former is even cheaper as a platform with budget mobos both are moot points to me since im not even remotely CPU bottlenecked by my icy cold 5600 driving a 3070 Palladium fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Oct 24, 2022 |

FuturePastNow posted:just validates my decision to never overclock anything me in a comment on a video: custom water cooling for CPUs is utterly pointless when they are now heat transfer bottlenecked inside the die very smart guy replying: you are just a pleb who can't afford to push 500W into a CPU  Desuwa posted:Not sure I'd count EXPO as overclocking when things are advertised at those speeds. The manufacturers love to call it overclocking as a way of shifting responsibility when things go poorly (like this debacle) and being able to advertise things they can't guarantee. i'm very shocked the entire mobo industry pulling the unsafe overvolting poo poo in the DDR4 days are still doing it in the DDR5 days

hobbesmaster posted:Unless they report something off the wall setting everything manually should work. Silly settings with voltages when translating XMP was a problem on am4 too but never quite so dramatically destructive. The solution on AM4 was always just to set the primary timings and frequency to match the XMP/EXPO profile by hand. i never used xmp at all when pushing ddr4 OCs auto ocing "standards" pushing unsafe voltages was a problem at least since the Intel 8th gen days, but the vendors just cant stop doing it

runaway dog posted:alright, this is kind of bullshit, I have like no confidence in this platform right now, I keep having problems and every time i do it's like is it the chip? is it the mobo? is it this exploding crap? like for instance, I keep getting this problem where my computer wont restart anymore, I right click start and hit restart and it just goes black like it's going to restart but everything in my pc just stays on and the only way to "restart it" is to do a hard shutdown by holding the power button for 5 seconds. it happened before and I couldn't figure it out so I reinstalled windows 11 and that fixed it but now it's back, and I have no idea, and this whole thing has just become a real loving ball of stress and I'd return the whole stupid platform if I wasn't worried this was going to be the straw that breaks the too many returns camel back on amazon and get my whole household banned. but yeah bitching on a comedy forum is definitely the way. thanks for killing whatever little interest i had at a 7800X3D
