    Old / Legacy games on Core i9 13900K

    Sounds a good idea, pretty sure it will work, and also improve the stuttering ... I never use it so far, but it's a good reason to start ... Will let you know. EDIT : It's not working, same issue but with Vulkan API. So i tried to run Vulkan with 4 Pcores, and it worked while i plkayed for...

    Old / Legacy games on Core i9 13900K

    Hello gamers ! What follows happened on 13900K, but might also be true with other generation/model of Intel CPU. I encountered a weird but "known issue" while playing AC Black Flag on my rig ( see specs on the left <===) with a 13900K. The game was freezing a lot, I mean real freezes like...

    On overclocking an i9 13900K

    I did the same, 1-2% max fps increased from my stats. I understand It might seems strange, I'm not doing this to get better FPS, for I know my old eyes and brain cannot process them.. I enjoy learning how it works, thats all. I'm trying the per-core OC approach, and i will also stop trying to...

    On overclocking an i9 13900K

    I must admit I read this several times, but I'm also from the past, I also made some undervolt testing, but no downclock. To be honest, I do not need to overclock, just I enjoy the chalenge, though this 13900K really starts to bother me. I already consider to run it at stock undervolt settings...

    Intel Core i9-13900K and i7-13700K Gaming Stability Issues Linked to Power Limit Unlocks

    I faced the issue with my 13900K stock( minus the negative 50mV offset to VRAM 1.45V=>1.40V), I figured it out (using afterburner and seeing a huge power consumption in game), so i set PL1 and PL2 to 330W, it fixes the crashes. For instance, it happened to me in Tekken8 starting screens and some...

    Gear mode on DDR5 7200MT/s C34

    Thanks for the comprehensive answer. Does it mean that DDR5 are not so much faster than DDR4 at the end ? I need to find benchmark i guess !

    Gear mode on DDR5 7200MT/s C34

    Hello everyone, I noticed yesterday on my BIOS the parameter "CPU IMC : DRAM Clock" with 3 options Gear 1, Gear 2 and Gear 4. BY default it is on Gear 2 , which reads that speed of RAM with the memory controler is halved. I tried to change to Gear 1 (1:1) but the PC would not boot. My CPU is...
