    PCSPECIALIST New Recoil 18£

    The RAM speed offered has no bearing on what the board or CPU support, it's what PCS test in house and determine they are willing to offer and support. None of us would have any clue, not down to ignorance or not being bothered, but because none of us work for them, so have absolutely no idea...

    They still fail regularly. You seem to be extremely brand loyal regardless of performance, I've never understood that approach.

    PCSPECIALIST Thoughts welcomed …

    It’s much like the Intel thing, you have to stay up to date generation to generation. The 990 Pros are poor drives and tend to fail early, the only failures we get for SSDs are the PCS branded drives and the Samsung 990 Pros. The Other options are far better for endurance while performing...

    PCSPECIALIST New gaming rig - intel or AMD?

    AMD happily support up to more like 7600MHz it's not the support that's the issue. Some boards can support over 8000MHz On any DRAM architecture (DDR5 in this instance) the apps using that architecture will have a frequency they operate most efficiently and above that they don't get any gains...

    PCSPECIALIST New gaming rig - intel or AMD?

    The second CCD only parks if it’s not in use, as already advised, the windows scheduler will manage the cores as per the games requirements. Cities skylines 2 will use the full 16 cores just as with MSFS2024 Its not the case that it disables the non 3dvcache by default for games, ONLY if the...

    PCSPECIALIST New gaming rig - intel or AMD?

    AI chatbots are trained on openly available data, this will be from sources like UserBenchmark and other comparison sites which are bogus data, they don’t perform any benchmarks, they just assign a metric to frequency and cores, none of which is enough to estimate real world performance. Sounds...

    PCSPECIALIST New gaming rig - intel or AMD?

    14900KS is miles behind X3D chips. In gaming the nonx3d CCD isn’t disabled, they’re windows scheduler just balanced processes as required. The thhreads are still fully available in games, nothing gets disabled.

    Very similar specs to mine (although newer generation processor). Can tell you you'll be pleasantly surprised, I've been really impressed, not just with the performance of the RX 9070xt, but also how completely stable it is. As someone who was really put off with AMD's graphics drivers from...

    Just to give a different point of view, Microsoft don't make any money from this, users can legally transfer the windows license from the old system to the new. And the TPM is not implemented by Microsoft, all manufacturers have implemented them across all OS's, mobile and desktop (apart from...

    It will take Intel years to catch up, they really are miles behind, and financially they’re in a very poor place also. They don’t have the resources to be able to turn this around for many years AMD are now far better than Intel ever were though, there's really no reason to be put off by them.

    If you read the thread, it's all 13th and 14th gen over the i5 14400, overclocked or not. They degrade at a silicon level, it's just a matter of how long that may take. Intels new generation, the 200 series are just the same, same architecture, just with lowered power levels and frequencies...

    PCSPECIALIST First new build ryzen since 2017, for general home and gaming use.

    Very wise. PSU is often overlooked, and it’s one of the most important components as it dictates the quality and amount of power distributed to the whole system.
