Might just wait for a budget wifi 7 router what do you think? That would be backwards compatible with 6 and 6E. No idea when they are coming out though.

I think my CPU-Z benchmark scores went down with 1.2.08 BIOS. When I compare todays scores with previous they've gone down. 1.2.0.7 voltages and settings set to auto I hit 626 single and 4632.5 auto just for reference. **So let me know if this sounds about right for you folks or if you've seen similar behaviors. So running stock without a .100v decrease my CPU-Z benchmarks are significantly better. However in gaming (Tomb Raider Benchmark) it looks like performance has increased. (same with temps and voltage). For the record these aren't taken from average runs but I did restart my computer after each benchmark. 0) PBO AUTO CPU No offset CPU Boost clock override: Disabled CPU-Z: Single Thread Score 622, Multi-Thread Score: 4657 Tomb Raider: Frames Rendered 25962, Average FPS 166, GPU Bound 33%. <--- Everything is higher why is this only 33%????

HWINFO64 Max temp and voltage: 61.4C 1.264v I did also notice when I tested but did not include the settings where I had the .1000v offset but I left PBO as auto. My CPU-Z scores were higher but lower in Tomb-Raider. Anyone know why setting PBO to auto would have this effect? Also, I'm not really sure how to read all the info on the Tomb Raider Benchmark if anyone can help me understand that I would appreciate it. Frames Rendered and Avg FPS higher the better I'd assume. The graphs vary but I assume the higher the GPU Bound percentage the better? I did notice this though. With an offset on and CPU Boost clock override both the 100Mhz and 200Mhz look like the top chart. Things the CPU Game and Render are much closer together the rest off the charts look more like the bottom. Hopefully someone can make sense of all this for me.

Going through your settings I'll bench these this weekend. I have an XMP option in my BIOS so that is currently selected. Which I think DOCP is Gigabyte/ASUS. PBO is set to on. Processor set to all core. I'll look for the area to put the -0.100v and see where I'm hitting. Do you have: Relaxed EDC throttling: Enabled? Spread Spectrum: Disabled? Is applying a -.100v offset something I should prepare for having to refugulate my BIOS or is using an offsets easier on the system to load with if it's unstable? On a side note I upgraded my ram and left it at auto. In Aida64, Tomb Raider, CPU-Z, benchmarks HWINFO64 wasn't hitting 1.35 (default voltage) just 1.34X with the XMP Profile. Any issues with leaving it on auto or should I just set it to 1.35?

Cisco Systems pulled out of russia and destroyed $23.42m worth of equipment GAGADGET.COM Cisco Systems has left the Russian market, destroying tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment and components in the process. This is because the... This is dope. Does Cisco own any best buy level wireless router companies cause I'd support them for this.

I have a 5600X running stock right now chuggin away like a champ but I've been playing a lot of Spider-Man Remastered lately and I wouldn't mind decreasing the temps a bit while maintaining as much performance as possible. I don't expect much since I have a bronze chip. Any advice would be great. From what I can tell people with gold chips can go -20. Looking for a safe offset I can set for all cores. If I can only hit a -5 or so offset should I not even fiddle with the curve optimizer and just decrease my CPU Voltage with a manual setting instead of fussing with all this? CPU: Voltage? Is your CPU voltage set to Auto? Curve Optimizer: -5 or -10 for Allcore? Max Boost Clock Override: ????

Pretty sure the best games I've played in the last 3 years have been indies. Dredge I think just came out.

Well I passed up the Asus deal, it was good but you guys made me do some more research. Also I'm not sure how fancy of a router I need for a what speed internet provider. I think our advertised speed is around 600Mbps or something. Would an Amazon mesh eero 6 dual-band AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 (router + 1 extender) be better than the routers I listed above? I wouldn't opt for any subscriptions with Amazon or TP-Link etc. Just not doing it. Also I'm confused which features won't work exactly by not paying for them with TP-Link like QOS won't work? I'm not fully clear.

I use a Modem with wifi 5 which the speed test speeds are great but some of the network speeds are lacking. I have some wifi 6 devices. I'm thinking of utilizing bridge mode from my wifi modem to it. From what I understand I can connect a router to the modem and use that. Here are what appear to be good options? Keep in mind these are prices where I live. The less money I spend the better I feel like this stuff is depreciates faster than anything. From reading reviews and my sort of understanding I think these key things are important (I think): 160Hz???, Bridge mode, Qos for gaming, 1 USB port (I have printer I like to use through the network). 160Hz $130 TP-Link AX3000 Archer AX55 $150 Asus Wireless AX3000 (GS-AX3000) 80Hz $100 TP-Link AX1800 Archer AX20 $100 ASUS AX1800 WiFi 6 RT-AX55 Cdn prices. So if you know of something else please let me know. Is a AX1800 that much worse than a AX3000 maybe one of you could tell me. But I rather not have to upgrade for quite some time I'd also not like to spend this money in the first place but it is what it is. The less headaches the better.

Interesting. I found in the last few years the community actually grew to be pretty helpful and support centric. People would PM with advice and tips. I took a break from the forum for yeeeears because the mods were toxic as hell and would basically wait to jump on anything they could to punish you. Is that Vampire jackass here in this community cause that idiot pushed me away from wanting to go back to OCN for like a decade.
