Rolled with a Subaru group tonight for a dinner/cruise. Vaping confirmed on their end so as an Infiniti owner with a rattling exhaust, fading paint and a drivers door that won't open from the outside I just put on my monocle and top hat than proceeded to remind them that aside of the modded (& tuned) 2020 STi in the group, they were all slow. Yes, even the 2023 WRX owners felt the shame. In all seriousness it was a good time and the jabs were all in fun. Too bad it started raining of course so my open diff RWD wasn't exactly going anywhere except spinsville if I gave it more than half throttle even on a roll.

I use the 1tb version of that in my laptop which replaced the OEM SK Hynix 256gb model it came with (can't recall the model but it was not nearly as fast as the P31). It's been rock solid and I bought it for the same efficiency reasons. I'm usually a Crucial fanboy as not one of my ssd's from them going back to what, 2011 with my 128gb Crucial M4, has failed thankfully.

Thanks man, I should have also read the first post, too. Unfortunately all my Nvidia GPU's are either dead or have been given away. Come to think of it, that Geforce 4 ti4200 128mb model I have is the only working Nvidia card I have at this point. 10900 is a 10 core yes, not oc'able but will boost to 5.2 and hold 4.6all core. I think my 11900k will outperform it for any of these tests. I recently bought a 5775C to replace my 4790k but need to update the BIOS on my z97 board to support it, curious as to how that would do in some of these.

Any room for a 11900k / 10900 (non k) / 4790k / FX-9590 to be useful here? Looks like my 290X may be useful and I also have a socket 939 opteron 180 and a 1gb of DDR1 c2 500mhz (2x 512mb). Unfortunately the board I have for it won't oc so it's probably not going to do much good. Also have my GF4 ti4200 128mb card I can fire up. Ironically my biggest issues that I only have .iso's and keys for Windows 10 / 11.. Haven't ran any retro system in years.

Loved that keyboard, unfortunately mine died randomly after only two or so years of use.

The a380 cost me $120 new from newegg and it's the smaller asrock challenger itx one. The software alone in that bundle cost more than the gpu and I needed similar software so it more than paid for itself. Now I just have to get around installing it (and building said pc it will be going into).

Picked up an A380 recently and will be pairing it with a 10900 and 64gb for a media server / multi use secondary pc. Wanted AV1 support and it was the cheapest route. The fact that it currently has a pretty decent software bundle currently made it more than worthwhile.

Going to vouch for Timespy here. Out of all the gpu benchs I've run, this one would always crash and need 10-20mhz lower on the memory to be stable.

I pay for 500 down a month but usually get over 600 down, especially through steam. My upload is a disaster though and is usually at 25 so I'm not sure why it's this bad considering it's about 5am.

Good news. I'm still not a fan of this tech as I prefer native, but the improvements being made have made me test it out a bit more. Likely to get some more mileage out of my 6900XT at 4k as the tech becomes acceptable to me.

Thanks, makes sense. For now, I actually put the 11900k in my current case just to rule out any oddities during stress testing (I have a Rosewill Thor V2 I've had forever). Ram temps are ok at 1.5v but if I'm pushing anything more temp sensitive I'm going to wait until I move this rig into the Fractal Torrent case I picked up. In the meantime, the 11900k w/ an all core at 4.8ghz is performing better in BF2042 than my 10900 at 4.6 all core. Was really surprised by this as that is one of the few engines/games that enjoys the extra cores. This cpu get's dumped on all the time but it's really not THAT bad. Honestly one of the reasons I picked it up was just to test it out myself. Got a Asrock Steel Legend z590 board + 11900k for barely over $300 new.

Well hello all, Finally got some new front tires and a replacement passenger rear for the one I just had to hit a nail with (tire only had a few thousand miles on it). Tires were $112 each vs the normal $142 so I can't complain about the timing. Going to get that tire patched and put it on the full size spare rim I picked up from the salvage yard for $30. Same exact rim as stock, but scuffed up. Far better than rolling on a 10 year old mini spare.

I'm sure I've got more left in them but I just went with my last setup. tREFI hasn't been touched yet, does it really make a worthwhile difference?

Thanks all for the help. I believe it was more of a rookie mistake on my part, though my profile in my bios I was using for my 10900 only related to memory settings, it appears to have not been happy using said profile on the 11900k. Defaulted it and went back in and now it's more on par. 44.5ns is pretty good for an 11900k?

Thanks, that's a fairly recent bios update as I just updated only a few months ago. Timings are set manually and the ones that are set to auto are at the same exact timings as I was running on the prior cpu. Thought it maybe was instability but even dropping the clocks on the ram quite a bit aida64 drops performance accordingly. Didn't do a fresh install of windows but I've typically never needed to do that with just a drop in upgrade on a recent bios. Normally I wouldn't care about Aida 64 but some games are showing substantial regression far more than 10th sometimes being faster. Even lightly threaded games were just matching my 10900 which makes no sense. Temps are fine with MCE and my D15 & KPX paste. ABT + MCE that is a whole other story though, they weren't kidding about it running hot. I can't imagine air cooling is even really feasible with 100% load on something like a 12900k. Going to try to mess around with it a bit more and see if I can figure this out. Oddly enough, the cpu install seemed to mess up my AMD gpu driver settings? Did a fresh install of that too.

11900k w/ MCE but identical mem timings as my prior 10900 w/ MCE. How am I getting this much of a worse result with the same kit? 11900k is in Gear 1. Same BIOS, same setup otherwise. 11900k 10900 @ 4.6

Funnily enough, I only saw the original thread on OCN when I was logged out of my account while browsing at work. Glad to join and I hope more members get the word.
