  1. System: Prime B760M-A D4 I5-13500 32GB DDR4 3200 M.2 1: Samsung 980 Evo 1TB M.2 2: Samsung 980 Evo 1TB M.2 3: Samsung 980 Evo 2TB on PCIe 1x PCIe to M.2 card RTX3060TI 8GB model MSI Ventus 2 fan card Creative RX 7.1 sound card mainly for SPDIF output and EAX 5.0 Anyway, When I updated the BIOS from 810 to 1402 I kept getting thrown back into EZ flash utility, and I didn't know why. You need to run the 1402 cap file twice for the BIOS to be fully installed. 2nd time seems to install the Microtrends part of it. BIOS should be updated for security reasons according to Asus. Found it frustrating, time consuming, and strange that it was like that. BIOS updates are getting tougher. Also a lot of revisions in 5 months.
  2. That makes sense. The optical drive was phased out. Guess no chance of 4k BD. No big deal.
  3. I Have: ASUS Prime B760-A D4 Intel 13500f 32GB @ 3200MHz RTX3060Ti in it right now Creative RX7.1 sound card I can't find SGX in the bios to allow 4k Blue Ray discs to play. Where would I be losing support?
  4. Just looked for a MATX case for a old retro PC. Cheapest case I could find for my needs was a Fractal Design Focus G MAYX case for 54.99 USD. I needed 2 5.25" bays on the front of the case for old CD based games for Windows XP (won't work on any other OS's). Also HD 7979 GPU, So 2 120mm fans in the front are a thing. The rest is basic other than 2.5" SSD. WD Blue 1TB drive. Rest of cases were 90usd and over. Also they were worse (other than the Fractal Pop Air Mini. All that was available was IN Win, Silverstone, Apex, ETC. Also those Cases ranged from 119 USD to over 229 USD for a case. Why are prices so high for basic things? Also the fractal I got had a 13.99 USD shipping charge. End cost was 75 USD. Why so damn much?
  5. The I5-11600k got a 1430, and the I5-13500 got 1762 for single core. Power was around 54 watts during test on the I5-11600k and the I5-13500 was unknown at this time. More than likely lower. I5-13500 seems to win all of the CPU tests. As for power test in the real world I think that the I5-13500 will draw less. Need to test power in the Single core test on the I5-13500. I5-13500 seems to be a good value for 250 USD. What Is the Ryzen 7600X scoring? 13500 is ahead of the Thread Ripper 1950x on multi core, also ahead of the Thread Ripper 2990WX in single core, that score is 1109 for the Thread Ripper 2990WX. Thread Ripper 2990x will win multi core because it has 32 cores. Coming down to Earth Ryzen 7600 is a 14540 Multi Core and 1920 Single Core. I paid 250 for Intel I5-13500 and the Ryzen 7600 costs 226 USD on Newegg, and I5-13500 costs 245 USD Date, 7-29-2023. Just CPU price.
  6. Package power was 25.78 Min power draw and 147.72 with I5-11600k under load. The I5-13500 was 6.28 Min and 167.51 under load. Max temp for the I5-11600k was 79c Package Single fan NH-U12S and the temp for the I5-13500 was 74c with NH-U12S with push pull fan config. The I5-13500 uses less power at Idle at 6.28 watts than the I5-11600k at 25.78 at idle. However under load the I5-11600k uses 147.72 watts and the I5-13500 uses 167.51 watts to almost double the score in a Cinebench R23 10 minute run. The I5-15500 seems more efficient that the I5-11600k at least at idle. Next I'll compare Single core on R23.
  7. Score and HD Monitor on my old 11th gen I5-11600k. Just thought I would compare them.
  8. I did a 10 minute throttle test. 4.680p and 3.491e and 74C on the CPU. Does not appear to throttle. 74c was peak in a room the was 72f. This should be fine for this system.
  9. Here is Cinebench CPU test, 1 pass, Multi Core and single core.
  10. I forgot that I have the cheapest Airgoo "Digital-RGB Strip Kit" installed in the case. I'm running the off of Asus's Armory Crate Horrible software because I snapped off the pins on the RGB controller in the case. I would prefer not to have Horrible Crate But I need RGB control I guess I'll show some benchmarks as it is now.. Just need to do them..
  11. I5-13500 Asus Prime B760M-A DDR3 Model 32GB Corsair LPX 3200MHz Creative RX 7.1 Sound Card Corsair HX850 PSU Currently: RTX3060Ti MSI 2 fan Ventus 2 x Samsung SSD 980 Pro M.2 Drives 1 TB each (currently) Pioneer Blu ray Writer Generic Card reader in 5.25" adapter 5 Noctua NF-F12 case fans NH-U12S with NF-F12 pull fan added RTX3060Ti MSI Ventus 1. I want to install a PCIe M.2 card for more M.2 drives. My concern is GPU ventilation. I'm looking for a Duel M.2 PCIe card (not one with SATA). 2 I think that a RTX 4070 or 4070Ti would work OK. Trying for 2 Slot card. Strix is 2.75 and would cover neighboring PCI slot. Was lookin at duel fan TUF card. Problem with cards are that they are not available with 16GB VRAM that I can see, on 12. Triple fan card is not out of the question. As for PCIe dual M.2 card, may be modding the bracket for the 2.5" drives with a PCIe M.2 card laying flat on stand offs wit a x8 extension may work. I've done stranger stuff.
  12. I just got a Royal Kludge RK61 Keyboard for 10 USD at a bin store in the 10 dollar bin. Did I get a good deal?
  13. GPU fans run doing Youtube viewing. So it is using more power. It has had a purpose for me while downloading something on another PC and watching Youtube that would not run in 1080p or 4K. I would say that if you have a area that has poor internet, this feature would help. Also works great for heating the room in the winter months. Some Youtube content is still in low bit rate 720p, this feature helps in cleaning that up. Remember we are in early days of this. Power consumption is a big factor in using this. ROG Strix RTX3070ti gets quite warm. I'm not quite sure of power consumption that GPU needs to use, but I am sur that it's using over 100 watts, fans run after a half of an hour, when heat soak takes place. Also, You do pay for this feature in cost of GPU. RTX is more money than GTX.
  14. Watching Youtube I have noticed this kicks ass. Using Video Super Resolution with Youtube has cleaned up videos on a 4k display down to 360p on Youtubes settings. It does not look as clear as 4k, but it makes the video look like at least 1080p on youtube. Maybe a good 720p. I think it looks great on a 4k LG TV. You can run 360p if you need to and have video that doesn't look bad while downloading a game like Forza Horizon 5 that uses 125GB at 14.5 MBps on Steam with another PC connected to the network. It won't stop and buffer. It works well. You need a RTX 30 series or above for this to work at time of this driver 531.18. Try this and write below. I think that it works well on my PC with a I5-11600k and RTX3070ti. Result may vary with hardware.
