    Such is the life of a rumor monger.... 😁

    Like I posted earlier, MLID has been wrong numerous times in the past.....

    Looks like 4090 might be here sooner than later (fingers crossed): https://videocardz.com/newz/zotac-geforce-rtx-4090-graphics-card-has-been-leaked

    It does make you wonder why Asrock was the only company releasing any type of Intel dGPU but now they are back ordered with no fill through date posted for awhile now. Looks like the first run might have been the last run but let's sit back and enjoy the ride (or crash and burn 😁) But then again MLID has been wrong plenty of times too.... Let's see how this pans out as they are still releasing the upper tier models too. What it looks like is Intel drivers and products will continue to be introduced but they are effectively exiting the enthusiast / mid-range market but will continue with Integrated/Entry and DC/AI and up.

    Looking good! Since you've used the AC LF II 420 extensively, I'm interested in the differences in a decent P/P dual Rad CL comparison against all your previous test data (aka the good stuff 🙂 ).

    I've been testing it and it is on par with my old 6gb 1060. It is firmly between a 1650 and 1650 Super. It is a good ENTRY level card for $140 which is exactly where it is targeted. Chop off another $20 and it becomes even moreso. It's not a magic card nor supposed to come in with crazy performance at its price point. What it does have is some seriously buggy drivers that need refinement (but continue to get them). And as @receiver said, price will dictate adoption. It is firmly priced in the entry level segment. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Clearly someone is buying them as Newegg has sold out of them 3x already and they're in back order status again.

    Labor Day weekend sale from EVGA via Newegg 3090ti FTW 1099 ($900 off): https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-ti-24g-p5-4981-kr/p/N82E16814487562

    Hey! At least the pants match the Crocs (which give me a chuckle everytime 🙂 ). Looking forward to the custom water adventures @Papusan!

    One of my pet peeves is numerous different subjects being addressed in the same post. I prefer individual posts responding to each person's message unless they're related to your response / flow. As for GPUs, I would definitely stick with 3000 series now with prices coming down as they are. What is your budget? That will really dial in what you can get.

    The blessing in this is the replacement is better than the original. Better P and E cores but still doesn't take the sting of dropping another $600-700 on a CPU. 😞

    Now we're talkin..... 🙂

    Asrock A380 w/ newest beta drivers puts it right in between a 1650 and 1650 Super at this point. Testing it on the "new realistic" system I'm setting up for my son in law once financial realities kicked in and he adjusted his expectations commiserate with his cash flow status. 😁

    Corporations are not your friend. Being honest will only get you shanked in the end as you just experienced. For a company that actively promotes and embraces overclocking to sell their products or get mind share and postings this really is a slap in the face. I can see XOC and obviously delidding but I tend to agree their chips aren't as robust as they used to be and the returns may have been hitting the bottom line a little harder than normal.

    So single core (and overall architecture) goes to Intel again this round but the heat and power to get there is another hybrid mess so 16 / 32 AMD matches Intel's hybrid chip.... If Intel could get their node in order and offer a real, true 16 / 32 chip it would be no contest across all spectrum but it is what it is I guess. Considering what a monster of a gaming chip the 5800X3D is, I have great expectations for the 7000 variants.

    WTH? The specs for Intel 12th gen CPUs is 4800 for DDR5 and 3200 for DDR4 on their ark site all the way up to 12900k. Is there some other specs listed elsewhere that allow higher or is that it? That is absolute BS. Who in their right mind is going to run it at that speed? I even have the wife's 12100f running at 3600. "Hey! We're Intel and we promote overclocking everywhere and even host competitions! But if you overclock anywhere on our products personally and it happens to fail you void your warranty" ?!

    That's usually how I handle all of RMAs with all companies. Luckily EVGA is fairly quick and a few weeks at most in extreme cases but that is a nice perk from purchasing direct from them or an authorized seller. It just kind of took me by surprise to spend a few days researching and contacting so many companies to see that all of them except three do not allow 2nd hand warranties. Most now have language in their warranties too to not only still address user damage on a hardware level but mining now too. I'm sure many will quickly check for memory degradation too and/or known signs of mining.

    Happy belated Birthday @Papusan! It's wonderful when kids turn into adults of their own. They're still your kids but they also become your friend on a level too. Looks like Intel will retain the single core crown for the P-Cores but their hybrid 13900k needs to hit what looks like 15k+ to hang with the top end 7950x if the 7700x is hitting 7701.

    Yeah I saw this earlier. GN did a full video and my 420 AIO falls right in that window. I'm getting ready to yank it from service anyhow to replace it with one of my EVGA 360 CLCs for aesthetics so I'll just send it in for a replacement vs doing the plate swap myself.

    As much as I've always loved (and still do) laptops, I have always run a desktop along side it. I want a killer rig to take on the road but I want an even MORE killer rig at home!

    While looking at some very tempting used GPUs, I was doing my due diligence on used GPUs and valid warranty transfers (not anecdotal "Well they fixed mine lolzzzz") by asking the companies and/or reading their warranty policies: Companies that don't: --------------------- XFX Zotac VisionTek Powercolor PNY Asrock Gigabyte Sapphire Nvidia AMD Companies that do: ------------------ EVGA MSI Asus Yikes..... That greatly chopped down my present and future list of companies I will buy used (or even new) GPUs from this point on...

    G1 topping out at 3500 reeks of the system board but that can be fleshed out with a better CPU with a known better IMC real quick. The variance on IMCs is pretty brutal. Two 12100f's I tested. One gave up the ghost at >3200 (which is what it is rated) and the other 3600. At these lower tier speeds overall, I would definitely opt for G1 when all is said and done.

    ~161w on the GPU? Hmmmm, nice. ~106w peak on CPU Total system power = ~241w So the system has a draw limit by design?
  23. electrosoft
    Awesome! As much as I love the X170KM-G, as soon as you put a good chip on a good desktop motherboard, you quickly realize its limitations no matter how good it is within the laptop realm.

    Not that Intel would go to the lengths of Linux , but open source is as brutal as it gets in people finding, reporting and even chastising you for crap or bugs in your software. I've worked in many small teams and the few I led I made it a policy for complete, open door sit downs where your code is completely open and subject to review with zero filters and eat your own chow methodology by other members and the weekly meetings would be just absolutely savage but bugs and issues tended to get flagged, documented and fixed much quicker. I was on the receiving end of a few beat downs too....it does light a fire under your keister! 🙂 Speaking of the A380, Newegg just charged my card on the back order from last week so it will be shipping today or tomorrow. Fun times. 🙂 I plan on pairing it with an Asrock B660M MicroATX w/ 12100f for fun times.

    Intel making earnest strides to work on the software side of their ARC GPUs after critical reviews of initial release:
