Basically the title, are these good crystal disk scores for the samsung 980 pro 1tb

All cores have no issue going to their target values. I thought the red/TBV3.0 stuff was for manual overclocking. Like I can push the "red cores" to a higher clock compared to the others.

Thank you! Normally red = bad; so I instantly well googled. I'm no front-end programmer, but a little like mouse-over to tell you what it is + any color that's not red would be nice.

So I opened clocks in CPU-Z, saw 2 cores in red, and googled. Google led me to this article: https://www.cpuid.com/news/54-cpu-z-1-80-with-core-x-support.html To quote: I googled TBM3, and apparently it's some good stuff. The intel page I found via google: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-max-technology.html Quote: So does this mean the 2 red cores = "my best cores to OC"? Picture: CPU: i9 12900k Thank you!

I know W10 has some issues, and W11 handles gen 12 better; but I'm holding off for a few W12 patches. I heard of a few W12 specific issues, etc. Right now I'm enjoying the performance I'm getting, so no need to rush things. By the way tyvm all for the tips. I don't know which of these solutions I'll pick, or if any tbh maybe the cpu is smart and knows "obs = E-Core while gaming"

Yea I'm reading the site, sadly it's not free; but that's not the end of the world. The biggest downside is it's far from a simple app like "borderless gaming" but I guess I can try it out if nobody has anything else here. Edit: free for personal use it seems

I bookmarked the article, skimmed through it. Seems like a bit jank; but will look into it. The only issue I see is when a program makes "child processes" with different name. For example StreamlabsOBS is Streamlabs OBS.exe for the front-end client, but "obs64.exe" for the "backend compression", which you can't really run via shortcut. I think regular OBS does something similar with different .exe files for different for the GUI and the renderer/compressor/the program that does all the thonking.

Happy new year, but in my post I said I'm aware of Affinity, and not a fan since it's not persistent. The concept I had in my head is similar to the "borderless gaming" program. Just whitelist game files for it to maximize/hide the border on launch. Pic of said program:

So with 12th gen, E-cores are great for well background apps, and even stuff line OBS for streaming. Thing is I'd like a program where I can flag say "obs.exe" for it to only use E-Cores. I know I can change what cores/threads a program uses "Processor Affinity" in the task manager, but it's not consistent/persistent. Gotta keep changing it around and etc. Was wondering if something like this exists. Windows 10 btw. Thank you!

So do I need to deal with those little rubber pads the manual is talking about? Never heard of anything like it before.

So is the 980 pro single or double? I'm not really good with this sort of stuff, I just play "adult legos" -- buy parts and stick em in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GLX7TNT/

So I ordered a 980 pro, and was reading my mobo's manual until I got to this page, which mentioned something about single sided and double sided m.2 drives Pic: Is the Samsung 980 pro single or double? Do I need those pads?

Every time I had something like this with AIOs, it would be a dusty radiator; which does not seem to be the case here.

I've seen some benchmarks for gaming, and there seems to be almost no difference between duel and quad channel; which is why I believe it hasn't come back in newer processers. Again this is for games, so I don't know how "professional" software will do. I was curious myself when upgrading from X99, and when I saw quad channel was gone from newer chips I was like "why" and then learned it was almost no gain.
