The only time I've had to reinstall windows was when I went from 6th Gen I tell to 11thgen. Before that I upgraded from z170 to z270 without a clean install

Why wouldn't they work?

Is your evga card a 3 fan design?

Happy weekend everyone it's been a while since I posted anything but was hoping so eone could recommend a product. I just purchased a 3080 aorus master and didnt realize how big the card actually was I thought it was the same size as my 1080ti aorus card haha. I have yet to receive my card but wanted to get an antisag bracket to be safe. Does anyone have a recommendation. I was going to get one that attaches to the back pci slots on the case but apparently this card has issues with those due to the fans.

Ohh no I didn't realize this was the other thread lool. I meant on my 6700k

So I over clocked my CPU to 4.5ghz and ran cine bench r23 everything seems stable highest temps for the entire package I've saw so far is 83c it's at 1.35 volts

Well tomorrow I'm going to dig into the overclock settings and see how far I can push this 6700k hopefully I get some performance gains

No I tend to go for the highest and Chip available because in the long run it saves money upgrade wise hence me still using the 6700k

Yea but wasn't it only compatible with windows 11? I'll take your advice tho I think I got all hype for upgrades haha it's been soo long haha

I have it on water and have treated it like a queen for 6 years ol girl has ever seen anything over 60c

I saw a video with someone about it being a hybrid CPU with e cores and p cores or something like that

Yea I noticed the CPU was needing some help when playing warzone,Apex, hitman. I still get good frames but I know more can be pushed. Yea I've seen the controversy with Intel and I'm not going back to AMD after the headache I went through with the 5800x lol

I play 1080p with a high refresh display but not on low settings and I have a 1080ti.

Jusus haha that's my fear let's say I go with 10th gen just to save money and say eh screw waiting for 12 then 12th gen gets here and is like GTFO I'm power efficient and destroy competition even with my lower tier offerings!

Well funny thing is I've been out of the loop in terms of hardware and when I started researching the issues I was having with my 5800x and was fed up with it I looked at Intel and said screw it 11th gen here I come literally without any thought or research just due to feeling utterly defeated by amd I bought the CPU and board. Not too long after I guess google was collecting all my info from recent searches and I got an alert for an article for 12gen and I was like really? Which is why I'm here Hahaha. Also 12th gen looks like it's gonna be expensive

Yea I know there's no perfect upgrade but I feel I chose a bad time to upgrade 12th gen is around the corner 10th gen is on sale as well as some 11th gen. 11thgen has power and heat issues from what I researched. 10th doesn't support pci4 but doesn't suffer from terrible power draw or thermals regardless I would be getting a pretty good upgrade. As far as the AMD issues go I kept getting cache hierarchy errors on multiple cores while running stock and when I tried undervolting it a bit. Random system reboots during light loads or just idle

I did buy it from best buy it wouldn't be hard to return lol

The 6700k?

So I got the itch to upgrade and kinda did I upgraded to the 5800x and hated it too many issues so I reverted back to my 6th gen i7 6700k and returned the AMD stuff not dealing with it. I just picked up an 11th gen i7 and a mobo and found that the 10th gen equivalent is on sale for $279 that's not bad at all! Now I'm conflicted, should I just say screw it and continue with 11th gen, return the 11th gen and save some cash going with 10th cause there's also a deal on a Mobo, or should I just say fuck it all and keep waiting . what do you all think? I've been all over the place with this the past 2 weeks and can't freaking decide to save my life

Thanks for the tip. But I think imma just go z490 MSI mpg it has 2 m.2 and is on sale for $180 bad the 10700k for 279 can't beat it

Thank you for your help. That's one thing I don't pay much attention to when building I probably should tho

Ohhh okay sorry got a bit confused lol. Can't beat $279 just bought the 11700k for $360 gonna go return it. Worth losing one m.2 thanks for the insight much appreciated

Wait is it due to 4 fewer Lanes or this? Lol I got 2 answers and both seem right

Ohh I did not know that. Well that's unfortunate! I guess it's not the worst thing i was looking for 3 m.2 ports and this board had it. Knowing this now I guess I can go with a z490 board and upgrade accordingly

Oh sorry! I'm on my phone and misclicked. It says that one of the m.2 slots will be disabled if a rocket lake CPU isn't used. The z590 aorus elite ax
