    I don't understand what's so funny. :confused: I have achieved 28 world records in Haswell Xeon overclocking with BIOS mod and undervolt. However, I could not beat several HWbot records and upon close inspection of the submissions, I noticed that while the competition's CPU clocks were lower...

    Some benchmarks are not stable on CAS 5 and the run can only be completed when CAS is set at 9. This is not my daily driver, just the setup used for benchmarking. My goal was to break HWBot records, but I did not manage to break any records even with such low timings. :(

    Recently I got 64GB G.Skill RAM for my E5-2699V3 & Rampage V Extreme setup. I managed to lower the timings to 5-9-7-10-1T which was benchmark stable in Cinebench R15. :D Has anyone else ever managed to get DDR4 to such low DDR2-level timings?

    X79 and/or rampage IV OC'ing thread for those of us still left....

    The most recent Core i3, i3-13100, has surpassed stock E5-1680V2 in performance. 4-core i3-13100F scores 1255 CB points in Cinebench R15, while 8-core E5-1680V2 scores only 1209 points. i3-13100 scores 3368 points in R20, while stock 10-core E5-2690V2 scores 3080. That's 10 years of CPU progress...

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I don't think it's adapter because WD USB is detected in windows Task Manager, but the disk does not even spin up.

    What's your latest tech purchase?

    I bought WD Elements 20TB external HDD on eBay several weeks ago. It was DOA. :( It was advertised as New, but the seals on the box were broken. Apparently, the seller had tested it and knew that it was not being detected in Windows.

    8TB HDD, looking for recommendations.

    Did anyone notice here that the prices of 1TB SATA SSDs have fallen to $45, the same as 1TB 2.5" Notebook HDD? Also 2TB SATA SSDs now cost $85, almost the same as 2TB 2.5" HDDs? The prices of 4TB SSDs are expected to halve this year as the downward trend continues. This begs the question why the...

    Try to do a fresh install of Windows 10 (2021 version or older) with no internet connection so the Windows does not automatically update. If Turbo boost still does not work, then the motherboard must be the culprit. I remember from my experience that once Turbo boost did not work for me on 1...

    Did anyone else notice that the price of 18-core Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 has dropped to $62 on eBay? I think every participant of this thread should hoard these CPUs. :D

    I only know how to unlock Turbo on V3 Xeons. I can not remove the power current restrictions.

    12900k runs hot

    I thought why bother with starting a new thread when there are a lot of Alder Lake owners here. I didn't know it was so difficult to spend several minutes for changing a few settings in BIOS, restarting and running Cinebench tests. :eek: Who knows, maybe in the future. :D Currently, I am...
