    also another thing to add to this today:
    today, NaCl (aka salty) told me that his laptop has a virus
    how does he know?
    he got one of these popups..

    i did too..
    they were disassembling a prebuilt pentium d.. 
    and thats how i got my pentium d.
    when i was there, they already fucked up all the capacitors and the pins.

    themctipers reacted to Eigenvektor in Why does DDR5 RAM has so much latency?   
    CAS Latency is expressed in clock cycles, so don't be fooled by higher numbers. A higher number at a higher frequency can very well translate to the same absolute latency (in nanoseconds)
     
    CL 16 at a transfer rate of 3200 MT/s translates to 10 ns
    CL 38 at a transfer rate of 5200 MT/s translates to 14.6 ns
    CL 40 at a transfer rate of 6000 MT/s translates to 13.3 ns
     
    While that is a bit higher, you have to take into account that DDR5 is still a very new standard. We didn't have CL 16 DDR4 right at the start either.
     
    ~edit: Performance benefits depend on how latency vs bandwidth sensitive your use case is. If your use case primarily requires low latency (e.g. many small transfers) DDR5 might provide no benefit at all (at least for now). If it is bandwidth sensitive (e.g. few large transfers) the much higher transfer rate is going to benefit you.
     
    E.g. while 13.3 vs 10 ns is a 33% increase in latency, your transfer at 6000 MT/s runs 87% faster than a 3200 MT/s, which might very well be enough to make up for the increased latency before the transfer started.

    one i fucked around with, until the motherboard's caps exploded.
    then, i turned it on and poured water over it
    steam anyone? 
    few hours later, turned it off..

    60hz
    I can but it does not interest me much, more of a screen size and resolution person than refresh rate   also, once you start to use 120/144hz monitors, going back to 60 is like going from a SSD to a HDD.
     
    Why do you want to use PiP? It sounds like a cool concept until you actually try to use it..

    themctipers reacted to Sakkura in RAM DDR speed not increasing despite XMP enabled   
    Task manager isn't always accurate. Try checking the memory frequency with CPU-Z - it should be 1467 MHz (equivalent to 2933 MT/s).

    themctipers reacted to RejZoR in iPhone 12 Pro so expensive in India that you can fly to Dubai to buy it, come back, and still save money   
    It's so hilarious people yet again going like "omg greedy Apple" yet it's the India smacking ridiculous "luxury" taxes on tech products making them absurdly expensive. Yet everyone rushes to piss on Apple because you're not cool if you're not endlessly pissing on Apple these days. How old are you all, 8 ?

    not a really good cost saving measure, more confusion and price brackets is annoying to deal with
    AMD used to do it but not anymore. usually it's not only 1 defective core, but maybe multiple, and that gets cut down to a lower tier processor.
