    (RETIRED) Sticky: Official CPU-Z Benchmark Thread

    Have no complaints returning to AMD with this new rig... Paired with the 3060Ti, I'm finally able to record gameplay in 1080p 60FPS :cool: Definitely slaps my i5-6600K in the face with the multi-thread performance.

    Processor question.

    10th gen is out (intel spec page here), with 11th gen processors bookmarked for Q1 '21. 11th gen desktop will likely retain the 14nm process, but bring PCIe 4.0 support iirc.

    EVGA Super Nova 750W enough for RTX 3080?

    I see you've got a K-series processor and a nice motherboard... Be cautious if you're overclocking anything! :D

    Google Reviews

    My status as a Google Maps Local Guide doesn't mean much at all, but I do know the automatic filtering system can flag posts that are too short as well as any reviews with racial/foul language. iirc: Business owners are unable to remove reviews themselves, but are able to respond and flag...

    Blurry/Fuzzy screen

    Windows 10 Pro can be bought through a wholesale distributor like Kinguin or G2A for around $30 USD. I've build over a dozen rigs for myself and friends using codes from there. Windows is cheap, no excuse to pirate an OS :p. Kinguin...

    How can I set Gmail as my default email program in Chrome?

    I found this Google Support article that recommends: Source: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9308783?hl=en Edit: I've been suffering with this and tried this out... found out that gmail.com was blocked! Works now, hope you have similar results.

    What PC do I need?

    What's your budget look like? Would you prefer a laptop instead of an all-in-one/desktop? I recently got a Lenovo Flex 5 (14") laptop with 16GB RAM and an i5 processor. It ran rendering tasks on DaVinci Resolve 16 like a pro! In most cases, all-in-one's and desktops will outperform laptops of...

    CPU can't hold previous overclock

    I've gone ahead and done some testing with Prime95 as well as Unigine Valley (Superposition was taking too long to download)... Couldn't get it to boot at 4.6GHz / 3000MHz :( Stock clock/turbo (3.5-3.8GHz) with 3466MHz RAM was stable with a score of 2043. Fixed overclock to 4.4GHz with 3000MHz...

    CPU can't hold previous overclock

    Hey guys.. hope this doesn't seem like a repetitive thread but I feel like I may be blanking on something important. On my previous motherboard, MSI Z170A SLI Plus, I was able to achieve 4.6GHz at 1.39V and remain stable when playing games and rendering videos. This was with my previous Corsair...

    Show off your speed

    Got an ethernet cable and started getting the speed (plus a bit more) that I pay for!

    New build

    Honestly it's hit or miss. I have a MSI A88XM board from 2014 that's still kicking it as a backup.. I'm sure I've exposed it to static a couple times and it still works! My MSI Z170 board I had in my current rig only lasted 3 years, but that's likely due to the increased voltage I pushed for...

    New build

    As far as I know, the i9-9900KS is the best gaming chip available right now. The only thing that has a potential to be "better" is the i9-10900X but I believe it's more workstation-based (correct me if I'm wrong). Put your potential upgrades in a PCPartPicker list along with the Dark Rock Pro...

    Looking for advice for powerful CPU to deal with Excel Spreadsheets! :-)

    As far as a pre-built system, I'd like to think that a PC like this HP Desktop should have enough power and remain affordable. https://www.newegg.com/global/uk-en/p/1VK-001E-2ADG8?Item=9SIAA0S94E5377 If you're sticking with Xeon CPU's something like this might work (I'm unfamiliar with...

    Intel's New 10th Generation Comet Lake (Unofficial) Thread

    You're completely right... They need a new numbering scheme similar to how AMD moved from FX to Ryzen.

    Intel's New 10th Generation Comet Lake (Unofficial) Thread

    I personally think Intel has entered damage control mode since AMD is starting to steal a fair share of the market right now. On the bright side, new Intel NUC's have appeared in the wild. Looks like they've already gone on pre-sale with the Core i7-10710U, Core i5-10210U and Core i3-10110U as...

    Want to get back a photo file I deleted?

    Your phone will overwrite "deleted" files after some time.. There's a slim chance it's still on the device depending on how much you utilize your phone, like @Okedokey mentioned. That second link (for CCleaner) is the proper Recuva download.

    (RETIRED) Sticky: Official CPU-Z Benchmark Thread

    Using my backup CPU while I wait another couple days for my new mobo/ram... This thing is sad to say the least. I'm not sure if this scoring is the same as in 2017 when I did 2435 & 9485 on my i5-6600K.. if it is, it explains clearly why I can barely run Rocket League at 30FPS on Low. EDIT...

    Mobo or PSU? Power for 1 second.

    I haven't been able to even get it to post since it shuts down before then. CPU/socket pins were perfect and my GPU/PSU + storage drives were fine. If it's the RAM I'll know asap, but I've already got a new 16GB 3600MHz kit and ASRock Z270 Killer SLI mobo on the way. Should be here next week.

    What was your first computer?

    When I was younger I used a Dell OptiPlex with a GeForce 8400GS.. Was the family computer. Built my first PC in late 2014 after coming to this forum for some help. Athlon X4 860K and a Sapphire R9 270X Toxic. Funny enough, bought back that same PC in 2017 to keep as a backup... and now I'm...
