Is there a dedicated CPU section on these forums

Colonel Sanders · Nov 30, 2023

This could be embarrassing if I have just not picked it up, but is there a dedicated CPU section on these forums, as for the life of me I can not find it, which would seem a tad odd on the face of it.

Space Lynx · Nov 30, 2023

I was always under the impression when you want to talk about CPU's you just post under General Hardware.

W1zzard · Nov 30, 2023

Any other opinions whether we should create a separate forum for that?

P4-630 · Nov 30, 2023

I mean there's already a General Hardware and a Overclocking & Cooling forum https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/forums/overclocking-cooling.13/

So where do I post if overclocking my CPU, in the CPU forum or will there be a "CPU Overclock" forum as well?...

IMO it's good as is.

Maybe just rename it to it "General Hardware and CPU's" I don't know lol

Onasi · Nov 30, 2023

I am not sure how useful multiplying subforums is. From what I have seen, despite having dedicated NVidia and AMD GPU forums most people just pile in threads into the overall Graphics Cards forum, lol.

Colonel Sanders · Dec 1, 2023

On some other forums they will have dedicated threads/sections to detail all the new info and leaks that people have managed to find for upcoming CPU's, so one perhaps gets excited or not for what will soon be available.

i also think general hardware is enough for that plus the clubs forum like

Ryzen Owners Zen Garden

I'm posting this in case anyone wants a Ryzen thread for troubleshooting and guidance. As someone with a build about to happen, I have a feeling I might need some help. New wave of CPU'S means teething probs. So, feedback on BIOS issues, memory hints and general tweaks could be useful. Trolls...

Ah yes, the Celeron and Pentium processors were good back in the days but now ryzen and intel i3,i5,i7,i9 and xeon easily killed them off making them not exist in the best CPU list. Even so, their life is in our hearts we will share our great battles with our comrades and our goodbyes when we...

didn't search if there was any other of the like but yeah, i am fine with that

also @Colonel Sanders your forum name and avatar made me hungry for some KFC ... :laugh:

Username doesn't checkout because it sounds like user wants a place leak and/or acquire the secret CPU sauce. The real Colonel Sanders would appreciate and respect the need for secrecy. :rolleyes:

I actually just noticed that sub forums exist for Nvidia and AMD. How long has that been there??

Most RAM issues are determined by make of...
Most OC conversations revolve around...
Roughly half of purchase/help questions...

Anyone who opens the forum to post a thread is going to arrive at the most likely area as easily as you avoided every opening the GPU subforum to discover the existence of two child.

This strikes me as a solution looking for a problem to answer a reasonable, but rarely asked, question.
