Reminds me of the monkey selfie dispute nearly a decade ago. (in summary, a monkey took a selfie, the camera owner tried to claim copyright, it didn't through as a "human being did not create the work") I think the problem now is where we draw the line stating the AI is a tool, or an entity all by itself. Is the art created by a human with the help of an AI tool (as you would with any tools in for example, photoshop)? Or is the art created by an AI all by itself (like a monkey picking a camera and snapping a selfie with no human intervention)?

What hype train? These footage aren't supposed to be public. Being realistic is realizing "open betas" that occurs 1 month before release is bullshit. You're demoing the final product, devs can't do much in 1 month.

Anyone found any noise normalized testing between this, the noctuas, and the phanteks T30 (the supposed king right now)?

Hi! Yes, open up SuperDisplay and uncheck "Enable Wintab driver". Now Cinebench R23 runs without crashing. Once you're done, re-enable Wintab driver.

Idle voltage would be too low if I do that. Can't even boot into windows with a flat -0.05 offset.

Hey all! Trying to undervolt this CPU. It's currently running at 1.33v on all core loads. Trying to bring it down so it'll run quieter. But not having any luck. I set CPU Core/Cache Voltage to Adaptive Mode Then set V/F Point Offset 5-11 with a negative sign, and a value of 0.07 In windows when I run cinebench R23, cpu continues running at 1.33v. No change at all. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Other settings I've tweaked in the BIOS: -Multicore enhancement off (enforce all limits) -E-Cores disabled -XMP II profile loaded

Hey all! Recently bought a MSI MAG274QRF. Didn't go for QD due to it being overpriced in Taiwan ($646.5 for the QD, $466 for the non-QD). Figured I post some measurements as I didn't really find any online. These are the measurements after calibrating with an i1 Display Pro using DisplayCAL. I originally posted this on reddit r/Monitors but the automated bot removed it thinking it was spam... So guess I'll post it here. Calibration settings: Whitepoint: 6500k White level: 120 cd/m^2 Tone curve: Gamma 2.2 Monitor brightness: 16 Monitor RGB: 100/91/95 Gamut coverage, Image link: 99.6% sRGB 81.5% Adobe RGB 94.6% DCI P3 Gamut volume: 140.5% sRGB 96.8% Adobe RGB 99.5% DCI P3 Verification report (ISO 14861:2015), Image link / HTML link: Black luminance: 0.1151 cd/m^2 Contrast: 1028.2:1 Average ΔE*00: 0.25 99% percentile ΔE*00: 1.13 Also did a verification at 100% brightness. Image link / HTML Link Measured luminance: 369.3 cd/m^2 Black luminance: 0.3658 cd/m^2 Contrast: 1009.5:1 Average ΔE*00: 0.48 (Not recalibrated for this brightness btw) 99% percentile ΔE*00: 1.44 And here's the ICM profile download link for your reference. (as monitors differ, my profile won't necessarily calibrate your monitor correctly) Here's a pure white and pure black image taken with my XE2. While IRL is not perfect, it's not as exaggerated as the image makes it out to be. White / Black Hope anyone looking to buy this monitor finds this useful! As for personal thoughts: Only complaint I have is there is a slight vignette on the right side. It tints blue when my lights are on. It goes away when looking straight on. But it's definitely there when sitting at my regular position roughly 60cm away from the screen.

There's no HDD in the system. And no, this is at idle. And it's definitely coming from the system. Not a speaker.

Hey all! I'm having trouble figuring out what's causing this buzzing noise. Here's a dropbox link to the audio. It occasionally occurs, and when it does, it loops like what the audio shows. Any clue what could be causing it? System specification: R3 3200G GTX 1660 Super ASRock X470 Master SLI/ac Superflower Leadex III 650W Gold

Tried this as a replacement to SpeedFan as it couldn't detect the Asus Prime-A Z690 board properly. All fans (cpu + 4 chassi fan) all picked up correctly! UI is incredibly clean and intuitive to use too! Thank you so much for making this! I do have one question, is there a way to control 1 fan with 2 graphs, and have the higher fan speed of the two be the final chosen fan speed? I'd like to control my chassi fans by both CPU and GPU temperature. Currently I'm using the mix sensor feature to use the max temp of the two. But I'd like a separate curve for the two temps. For instance I'd like CPU at 80c to put fans at 80%, while GPU at 80c puts fans at 50%. Currently by mixing the sensor, GPU at 80c would also put fans at 80%.

I see, thank you! I'm looking around a bit now, can't seem to find VCCIO, I did find a "Memory Controller Voltage" at 1.119v (auto). I guess this is it? Also, do you know the difference between DRAM VDD voltage and DRAM VDDQ voltage? Not getting much results from googling. Seeing some post say it's for the graphics card?

Hey all! I have two 16gb sticks of DDR5-5200 38-38-38-76 (XPG Lancer, AX5U5200C3816G-CLABK) Currently when running at stock, DDR5-4800 40-40-40-76. It fully passes memtest86. However, enabling XMP1, putting it at 5200 38-38-38-76, I'm getting severe errors in memtest. 206 errors in 15 minutes. I don't think getting a replacement is possible. The retail store I got it from literally has no stock of any DDR5 ram currently. I'll try and ask but I'd like to just use it assuming there's a way to tweak it stable. I don't know anything about tweaking RAM. I'm looking in the BIOS and I guess I have to increase DRAM VDD voltage and DRAM VDDQ voltage? Absolutely no idea how to adjust IMC voltage. Any advice/guides/videos you guys have? Rest of system specifications: i7-12700KF RTX 3080 Asus Z690 Prime-A CSM

Hey all! Just want to throw it out there it appears as of writing this, installing SuperDisplay will break Cinebench R23/R23.2, causing it to crash on startup with this error (oddly, R20 runs fine): I've attached the BugReport.txt in this post, but the important part I think is this bit: ExceptionNumber = 0xC0000005 ExceptionText = "ACCESS_VIOLATION" Address = 0x00007FFE2A0789AD Thread = 0x0000000000001B14 Last_Error = 0x00000000 If anyone's experiencing this issue, just uninstall SuperDisplay and R23 will startup fine again. Also if you guys don't mind, try installing SuperDisplay and see if you guys get the same error. I've emailed SuperDisplay to let them know about this error. So far this occurs on both of my systems, specs below: System 1: i7-4790K GTX 1070 20GB DDR3 1600 System 2: i7-12700KF RTX 3080 32GB DDR5 5200 If you guys got any ideas on a fix too, let me know! _BugReport.txt

Did some more testing! P-cores were at 4.7 ghz during benchmarks for both E-cores On and Off (in some games, during E-Cores on, it fluctuates between 4.7 and 4.9ghz) Tested E-cores Off with AVX-512 off. The FPS improvements persists and were not any different. My motherboard currently do not have the "legacy game compatibility mode" option in the BIOS. Once that comes out, I'll be sure to test that too! On my reddit post, a user mentioned CapFrameX seeing similar behavior in death stranding I've added everything to the main post! I gave this some more thought. If cache is indeed shared, are we going to see intel being sued similar to how AMD got sued for their bulldozer/piledriver not being "true cores" due to their shared cache nature?

Very interesting! Does Win 11 not use cache properly then? From my limited testing, Win 11 with E-cores off showed nearly none, or very slight improvement only, compared to Win 10.

Actually forgot to do this LOL. I did check and ensured CPU was not throttling with HWINFO in any of the runs. I'll rerun a few benches later to double check the clockspeeds. Managed to squeeze in some more benches before leaving for work. I'll run GTA V later and update the graph. Win 11 + E-Off: Arma 3: Avg 50.07 Six Siege: Min: 355, Avg: 439, Max: 552 F1 2018: Min: 208.33, Avg: 269.67, Max: 337.67 GTA V: I'll run it soon! Arma 3 showed slight regression, six siege showed slight improvement (but still not to win 10 Ecore off levels), F1 showed very slight regression (probably within margin of error) I'll see what modern games I can borrow from from friends and such. I'd love to see a proper journalist perform a 20+ game bench though.

Hey all! Couldn't find any reviewers testing the effect of disabling efficiency cores. I decided to do my own small scale testing. I hope you find these results interesting! I do and I think it warrants a larger scale testing with more games. My system configuration: i7-12700KF RTX 3080 DDR5 5200 Mhz 38-38-38-76 Asus Z690 Prime-A Games tested (I used these as they're what I owned that had built in benchmark tools): Arma 3 (Using Yet Another Arma Benchmark) Rainbow Six Siege F1 2018 GTA V Here are my results (mirror link) (All at 1080p, with each game benchmark ran 3 times): In E-Off, E-Cores were disabled and AVX512 were enabled via BIOS. Arma 3 saw the biggest improvement, with six siege seeing a minor but measurable increase. Disabling E-core also did not reduce performance in any scenario (again, small sample). W11 honestly wasn't impressive. Using it was a headache too. F1 crashed once with error "D3D Device removed 0x887A0006". Had one random BSOD on restart. GTA V settings wouldn't save (had to copy pc_settings.bin from the W10 install over to W11 for it to work). Meanwhile W10 ran smoothly during all the benchmarks. I'd love to see if any journalist could do more testing with E-Cores disabled to confirm my findings! Other games that see a benefit: Death Stranding - Tested by CapFrameX, mentioned by aeon100500 on reddit EDIT1: Added Win 11 + E-Off results. Arma 3, GTA V, F1 performed more or less the same. Six siege improved slightly, but still not close to WIn 10 + E-Off level EDIT2: P-cores were at 4.7 ghz during benchmarks for both E-cores On and Off (in some games, during E-Cores on, it fluctuates between 4.7 and 4.9ghz) Tested E-cores Off with AVX-512 off. The FPS improvements persists and were not any different. My motherboard currently do not have the "legacy game compatibility mode" option in the BIOS. Once that comes out, I'll be sure to test that too!

I previously bought the M27Q. Couldn't stand the BGR layout. I'm using a multi-monitor setup and my other 2 monitors are RGB. Messed with clear-type and other settings but couldn't get texts to look right. The final nail was chromium not supporting BGR whatsoever. Had to sell of the monitor in the end... I do some color work as a hobby (mainly photography). In general I just prefer more accurate colors rather than oversaturation. I also game a lot, so I'd like higher refresh rates and snappy response times.

Hey all! Trying to decide between these two monitors. Price for the MSI is a bit wack as I'm in Taiwan. These are the differences I found online which makes me lean towards the MSI one despite the hefty pricing: -MSI has better contrast (MSI 1195:1, LG 807:1) -MSI has wider gamut (MSI 100% adobe RGB / 93.8% DCI P3 / 81.3% Rec. 2020) (LG 87.7% adobe RGB / 95.1% DCI P3 / 70.4% Rec. 2020) -MSI's sRGB mode locks contrast but leaves color channels unlocked. LG's sRGB mode locks color channels. (I'm likely using it in sRGB mode, calibrated with a Spyder4Elite) -LG has slightly higher refresh rate (MSI 165hz, LG 180hz) -LG has slightly better response time (MSI, LG) The thing that bugs me the most is the pricing outside of Taiwan shows MSI being cheaper than the LG most of the time. Is there a glaring problem I missed with the MSI one?

It's tied to the CBCT machine. From what I was told in both the software and hardware side. The company is long gone so there's no way to relink the two if something breaks.

Amazing! Thank you! Btw, any reason to choose the Q6600 over the Q6700?

Neat! One thing though, are you certain the motherboard supports quad cores? Looking at the Q965 chipset in the wiki, Core 2 Quad isn't listed. But I do see forum threads saying Core 2 Quad works on it. I'm utterly confused, is there any sure-fire way to know if the CPU would work before I order the chip?

Hey all! I've been asked to see if I can upgrade a fairly old machine with quite a few restrictions. It's hooked up to a CBCT machine and I'm not allowed to change the software or motherboard. This is the current specs: G7B630-N Windows XP 32 bit 4GB DDR2-667 mhz Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 GTX 280 A hard drive I'm thinking I can upgrade the CPU and storage to an SSD at least. I'd put more ram but the OS is 32 bit. I've found the specification page but I don't know much about older generation hardware. I'm completely out of my depth here. Looking it up, LGA 775 seems to support up to quad cores, but I'm seeing some threads saying how some motherboard are capped to Duo's? I really don't understand what to look for. My question basically is what is the best CPU this motherboard supports? Also I'd like to upgrade the HDD to an SSD, likely buy an SSD, clone the HDD into it, and use that. However I can't find what SATA it supports? I think it's SATA 1, but I can't find any concrete specification saying so. Thank you for your time!

Hey all! I had a 256gb OS drive and a 1tb empty drive. Both of them m.2 SSD's installed in the laptop. I cloned the 256gb into the 1tb with Macrium Reflect. I couldn't be bothered to remove the original drive, so I went into BIOS and switched the boot order so the 1TB was on top. On boot, it showed two Windows 10 install, first one with a volume number, second one without. First one (now the 1tb one) boots fine, but selecting the second one gave the error "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed." I then installed EasyBCD and assigned the proper drive to the second Windows 10 (the install was assigned to no drives), however the same error occurs. "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed" "Error code: 0xc0000225" Right now, I can swap the BIOS boot order to boot into both W10 install, but I can't both of them to work through the dual boot window... Any ideas? EDIT: Used the BIOS boot order to boot into the 256gb, did the same EasyBCD assignment there. And now it works. Weird.

Upgrading storage haha, going from 256gb to 1tb drive.
