Haha I just play Cities Skylines...that game pretty much likes single thread performance and hasn't been optimized for higher core usage. Game just uses a lot of RAM and GPU performance doesn't matter much. 

It's very dependent on the game and scenarios you play. 

PS5, PS3, Xbox 360, Genesis

Had a PS4 Pro that I rarely used, wasn't looking to get a PS5 but Sony kept sending me invites to buy a PS5 multiple times. Still rarely use my PS5 haha

Ontario only has 2 seasons:

Winter and Road Construction

 

Basically once they finish one road (or 5), they move on to some other road (or another 5). The 401 (The busiest Freeway in Canada) is also nearly always under constant construction.

Soon to be widening towards London! Jokes aside, it is pretty the main key between Midwestern US to Central Canada, I do respect MTO for keeping it in decent shape for the sheer volume that goes through the 401. Same can't be said for Gardiner since that's always been falling apart.

Richmond is pretty pro-active, they pretty much repave roads every 5 or so years so out of the entire Metro Vancouver region, we have the nicest roads. The only exception is this dumpster fire of a project:

 

Which has been ongoing for 3+ years now and so far they've only really "completed" that 1KM green section.

Would be nice to see progress on the Massey Tunnel sometime soon, stalled progress when talks ever happened..At least the replacement project is line now.

I use a tempered glass screen protector for my Galaxy Tab S7+, I just needed to redo the fingerprint scanner setup after applying and worked fine after that. Can't say the same about the Note 10 as the Tab S7+ has a better/newer sensor. Hope this helps. 

It might be that you have an updated BIOS that blocked voltage access due to the Plundervolt issue, so if that was the case then TS wouldn't allow for undervolting due to the blocked voltage control. Depending on your laptop, there might be ways to remove this as there are people who sucessfully removed this block even with the updated BIOS/microcode.

I am getting constant boot time of 27 seconds, and loading after typing the password is instant.

It may not be optimal, but I am happy with the improvement.

 

Thanks for the help!

I have the same motherboard as you with a 7700K with XMP default settings and around 7 drives, bootup time usually takes that long for me. I gave up trying to improve boot times as this board does take a while to bootup. Hope this helps. 

There's currently a Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti triple fan going for $530 + shipping, gonna assume that's mined since the seller still has 4 cards left. With the new series coming out, 1080 Ti's would probably drop to around the $400 range, depending on the pricing and performance on the newer cards.  I wouldn't spend more than $570 currently for a 1080 Ti anyway, maybe $600-650 if it was 1080 Ti Kingpin but really they should be around $500-550 range used atm.

It was sarcasm you should interact with humans more to understand sarcasm, maybe get off chrome for awhile. 

Who knows, maybe this thread shouldn't get nerco that long.

Yeah it's the 9343 model with 1800p

I'd say that's fair pricing, I saw the 9343 1800P touch model from a computer store for $500 local. 

What model is it, if it's the 9370 then yes it's sketchy. But if it's the 9350 or perhaps the 9343 then it sounds fair. When you mean 4k touch, is it actually 2160P touch or 1800P touch.

I have Z170+ i7 7700k, and i want a secondary pc can render, and play decent game ( world of warships). :3 and want to learn to overclock 

Still not worth to get X58, just get a more modern system.

3.5Ghz is ok( i see some one get about 4.2Ghz with cm212). Because i sell my mobo and cpu ( B85 progamer and I5 4690), so it is like 200$ for cpu, 1 ram stick, motherboard, and cpu cooler :v

It'll probably be better just to get a 4770K/4790K instead, would perform similar to a overclocked X5650 at around 4-4.4GHZ. You wouldn't have to deal with the high power draw, additional cpu cooling costs, and the problems you'll encounter overclocking X58. 

Westmeme isn't worth it, considering you're buying into a obsolete platform that's basically on legacy support. To be remotely decent, you have to overclock it and that requires a lot of cooling. Finding a decent X58 board will cost loads, you'll have to spend a decent amount of money for a good cooling setup, not to mention finding DDR3 ram that will work well. Overclocked X5650 is going to draw a bunch of power, it's guaranteed to draw at least 200W from the CPU alone with overclocked. 

Here's a general idea of prices

X5650: 20-30

X58 Board: 120-200

DDR3: 40-50

Cooling: 50-60

You could just go with what I did, go with used Sandy Bridge. It only costed me $160 for a 2600K, Z68 motherboard, 16GB DDR3. 1155 is a more modern, stable, feature set platform than X58. 

Got rid of my Core 2 setup and went with Sandy Bridge 

Managed to get 5GHZ air, but been running 4.8 @ 1.4V daily 

The 6 pin is a optional power plug if you want to overclock the card to it's limits, you do need the two 8 pins connected to run anyway. Other lightning cards like the 980 Ti require the 6 pin, otherwise it wouldn't boot.

That is the Samsung Exynos model, it doesn't have the CMDA hardware whereas the Snapdragon does.

This is supported on Verizon, I'm currently using the same model as amazon on Verizon's network. 

I can do 1440P 60HZ ultra on my 980 Ti, handles current games fine. FC5, ROTTR, PUBG can do 1440P 60HZ ultra with no problems, even with the GPU at stock.

lol i haven't heard of pencil mod in 10 years. Good to see some OG overclocking techniques. I used that on my q6600 back in the days!

Yeah I'm probably at the max for safe vcore 24/7 daily, needs all the GHZ. 

Bought a Q9650, flashed P5E Deluxe to Rampage Formula, used pencil mod to reduce vdroop.

Well the Q6600 lacks SSE4...so now off to buy a 45nm Quad. Now it's time to either decide getting a Q9550 or Q9650. 

Got myself a X48 board, G3 750W, Cryorig H5 Ultimate for all of this

E8500s are like 6 bucks so perhaps 4GHZ run on that

Wouldn't call it a sale, at least they got stock out compared to the past few months.

No, get a gold one.

Bitfenix Formula is an option.

I ended buying the TX650M for $45 new, I know you hate 650W PSUs but it's the same price as I was going to buy the TX550M for.

Why does it need to?

I just said my reason was 4K HTPC card, the 1030 can do it as it has a HDMI 2.0 port.
