Hey and Happy New Year! I'm planning to upgrade my i5-10400F to an i7-10700, I was looking for an i9 but I've discovered that my board's VRM isn't that great so an i9 would be out of the question Basically, my main question is would my motherboard throttle the i7 under heavy load? I do not plan to overclock, so I'll probably buy the F or non-F version. I don't want to move to a new motherboard since I believe the i7-10700 is more than capable at what I need it to do, i.e video editing and streaming. If my motherboard can't then I'll probably replace it and go with AMD since they tend to be a bit cheaper nowadays in my country Thanks in advance! I5-10400F RX6700XT 32GB RAM MSI B460M PRO Gigabyte P650B (C Tier PSU, It's fine for now will eventually change) -
I have had my airflow set up like this. The idle temperature is ≈ 40°C. Is this an ideal setup? Can it be improved if I add another fan on top? Specs: i7-13700K with Noctua NH-U12A MSI RTX 3060

So I bought a high-end z790 DDR5 motherboard for cheap a while ago but now it comes down to picking a CPU. Because of deals right now the i7-12700k is $210, KF for $200. On the other hand the i5-13600KF is $250 on sale right now. I was also thinking of buying DDR5 6400 ram for $110, I know the i5 13th would be better for that but is it worth the extra $50? Which one should I get for mostly gaming purposes? EDIT: I use 1440p

Hello, I have an HP Victus 16 with the i7-11800H and RTX 3060. Since I use it for gaming I have my windows 10 power plan on High Performance, both for battery and for when I plug it in, but the frequencies of the processor are very different in both modes. Using HWINFO I noticed that when it's unplugged, it can run at 1 to 2,8ghz depending on the core, yet when I plug it in all the cores inmediately shoot up to 4.X ghz on the exact same workload, sometimes even going to 4.58 ghz which seems to be the max my laptop can do. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I can't play emulators while plugged in, for example, because my temp goes to 95°C-100°C (I had to disable hyperthreading so the max it reaches now is 95°C) but the same emulator runs great on battery power, with temps up to 64°C. Thanks

Hello everyone! So, to introduce my dilemma I believe it's most important to state that I'm using a prebuilt, more specifically, an Alienware Aurora R12 Desktop. As a fair warning, I know nothing about this motherboard except for the fact that it is overclock capable and came from the factory with this setting activated. I have ditched using Dells software, exclusively using it for only fan control (because no other third-party fan control program works). Okay on to the issue at hand, enough precursing. I have been using Intel XTU and learning little by little as I go... The one constant issue I'm facing is that no matter what overclock settings I enter (even factory default), I am consistently getting Current/EDP Limit Throttling almost 100% of the time on load. I understand that my system does run hotter than most (due to the questionable case design) but I have optimized fan control to keep temperatures at a max of 80C-85C even in modern AAA titles like Remnant II. My CPU is able to hit turbo consistently as is, but I imagine there is a lot of performance left on the table here as it has a Max Turbo of 5.00GHz but never been able to get it there or past 4.80GHz... I can only imagine the EDP Limit Throttling is to blame for this. I will attach as much info of my PC Specs and from XTU as possible to aid, please reach out if you need any more information. I would really appreciate if anyone could offer their experience and expertise in order to help me correct what I'm doing wrong here... As well as offer any helpful tips that I can learn along the way! Thank you for taking the time to read this and offering any advice! *As a final note, I have tried using Throttlestop but I'm afraid I'm not educated enough on the topic of overclocking to understand what I'm really doing. I really messed up the CPU behavior at one point and reverted back to XTU out of sheer fear. *The Screenshots of XTU were taken while running COD: Warzone in the background just FYI!~ PC Specs: > Prebuilt Alienware Aurora R12 Intel > Operating System Windows 11 Home 64-bit > CPU Intel Core i7-11700KF @ 3.60GHz (Turbo 2.0 Max 5.00GHz) Skylake Technology > RAM 32.0GB 3200MT > Motherboard Alienware 0P0JWX (U3E1) > Graphics DELL AW2518HF (1920x1080@240Hz) DELL P2319H (1920x1080@60Hz) 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 > Storage 1863GB Seagate ST2000DM008-2FR102 (SATA (SSD)) 476GB NVMe Micron 2300 NVMe 512GB (RAID (SSD))

Hello! So I have a couple of questions about these 2 processors I have. On the pins of the i5 a very young cousin drew with a black marker and I've tried cleaning it with a brush and alcohol and in the pictures(1 and 2) is the result after cleaning. Do you think I could put this in a motherboard and chances of it working? I got a PC for free and it has an i3 second gen and I don't want to fry up the motherboard or something worse. The i7 has a missing component on the back(capacitor I think but I am not sure) that you can hopefully see in picture 3. Does that prevent it from working? Should I try testing it with the PC I got or maybe I should just avoid it in case it screws with something like the motherboard and kills it? Basically I have these CPUs and I would like to put one of them in to upgrade the PC and sell it for very cheap to someone who doesn't have a PC, but with the i3 is a little slow so I would like to have the i5 or preferably the i7 to boost the performance for home/office use. Thank you in advance for all the answers! And hope I didn't break any rule by posting this.

I want to build a sff pc with the Lian Li A4-H2O with a i7 13700k and a 4070. The case only supports up to a 240mm rad, and I've heard the 13700k runs hot. Is a 240mm AIO going to be enough cooling? Part of workload is 3D renders and video editing so it could be under heavy sustained loads a lot.

X13 G1 Yoga I5-10310U 16GB 450usd Lenovo X1 YOGA G3 i7-8650U 16gb 370usd Hi, so I am on a tight budget and looking for a 2-in-1 laptop for university that will last for the next 3 years. After reading about problems with hinges in many models, I am considering these 2 options. My questions are: Performance-wise, is there a huge gap between the i7-8650U and i5-10310U? Which one would you recommend? Are the hinges really durable in these models? Should I save up and buy something with a newer CPU? Do you have any other recommendations? I can stretch my budget to 600 USD if it's really worth it. How they work with linux. Is palm rejection working fine with pen? Does keyboard detach in tablet mode? Why 2-in-1? It's a really convenient option. Being able to switch between using a stylus for handwriting in one class and using the keyboard for note-taking is a deal-breaker for me.

Hi, so i have an AMD RX 570 with i7-860 and i'm planning to change my power supply since my current one is having a hard time booting up the pc, is 450w enough for it or should i just aim for like 500-600w psu

Hello, I build this PC a few months ago, but I notice that the CPU gets extremely hot when rendering in Blender, even though I'm rendering on the GPU. The funny thing is that the CPU load is relatively low (5%-40%). The graphics card performs flawlessly.This even happens when I render an incredibly simple scene like the default cube in Blender. The power consumption of the CPU is limited to 150W! I have had this problem from the beginning and also when I game. My specs: RTX 3070 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF 3.40 GHz 32,0 GB RAM Windows 11 Pro I have already searched a lot on the internet, so I hope someone can help me. If I have forgotten any information, I will of course send it to you! Thank you! During rendering:

Budget (including currency): 2800 EUR Country: Poland Will be used for: just gaming 1440p / 4k 144hz Details: Green card for best RTX; Life span 5-8 years; I considered Ryzen 7 7800 x3d but since it has all those problems with BIOS I go for i7; no over clocking; don;t care about looks, window, lights etc.; wi-fi and blth needed Build: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/HVJLzf Questions: 1. Is this air cooler enough or should I go for AIO? I want to build and just leave it instead of doing some maintenance after 5 years which will be necessary with AIO but I don't know if air cooler is enough for i7-13kf 2. Is Ryzen 7 7800 x3d and option now with BIOS issues? I can update BIOS but this issue is not solved yet so I'd rather just buy it without having to do maintenance right from the beggining. 3. Deepcool AK620 - does it make sense to get zero dark? Thank you for your help

Hi guys, I have an old gaming laptop (Hp Omen 17 w204-nl) wich gpu is pretty broken. I was wnadering if I could use it to host a Minecraft server, or maybe a small nas. The system specs are a Intel Core i-7700HQ, 16gb of ddr4 at 2400Mhz (dual channel) and a semi dead gtx 1070 (bas if you try to ask for gpu power the laptop will just turn off, that's why I'm thinking making it a cpu based server will work). It is also left with only it's hard disk, as I took out the nvme ssd. I am now moving house so the final setup isn't ready yet, but the plan is to connect the laptop via a Ethernet Cat 6 cable to my future router (I am going to buy one of those gamig router) and I will have a 150mb/s connection in the new house. The server will be running bas at all times and I won't use the laptop for anything else, do you think it could work?

I have an i7 7700k with an RTX 2070 right now. I built my pc back in late 2017. I think my pc is still pretty good right now but I've been thinking about upgrading my graphics card to a 40 series card, probably a 4070. I was wondering if I should upgrade my i7 7700k to a newer one like the 12th or 13th gen i7, or wait for 14th gen. If I do get a 4070 will my GPU be bottlenecked by my i7 7th gen ? -
Hello, this is my first time ever posting so go easy on me. My Specs Alienware M17 R2 (2020) Intel i7-9750H 2.6ghz boost clock 4.5ghz 16gb ram windows 10 bios 1.20 I will try to keep this as short and understandable as possible. Ever since dell blocked me from undervolting my cpu its been nothing short of a pain in my backside when gaming. I decided to dig deep into my hardware to test out what i can do to maximize its performance. The issue im having that i never used to have is under a heavy load my cpu is dropping to base clock speed (2.6ghz) and a wattage of 28-30w. Its TDP-Down is rated at 35w and normal TDP 45w. No matter what i have tried nothing yet works. I have tested turning off PL2 and minimizing turbo time limit. Leaving PL1 and 2 as is and capping the core clocks to a lower speed. Even putting PL1 to 35w to keep temps from maxing out yet still after 5 mins in a cpu intensive game it insists on dropping to base clock and 30w. Even when temps are far within the optimal load specs its still doing it. From all my testing i have noticed one thing. It only does this when GPU is under load. Cpu stress testing performs at a sustained rate without throttling to 30w. I have recently found out i suffer from pump out with the paste so i changed to a phase change pad with the honeywell ptm and with the even pressure and coating its made a big difference however, during gaming the 30w drop still happens. From what i have heard it could be a motherboard setting that was introduced thats doing this? My GPU wont go above 70c so its definitely a cpu problem im having. My recent log file (attached) from throttlestop shows when all settings are factory it PL1 limits and drops in game. Factory settings are PL1 90w PL2 90w Tau 32 secs. Im guessing dell put my PL1 to the max boost wattage to get the most out of it but whats the point if it cant sustain more than 30w during gaming. If anyone has any answers that might know how to help me around this i would really appreciate it. Edit: I reset throttlestop and restarted my computer again but this time it shows default pl1 as 47 and pl2 90. So i tested the game i want to play with nothing changed and here is my results in log file 'default' and second screenshot PL1 & 2 Standard EPP 0 + BDPRO.txt Default.txt

I was looking to pair the Nvidia geforce rtx 4080 with an INTEL CORE I7-13700K. I'm using the pc for mostly gaming. Will the i7 be a good fit or should I go to the INTEL CORE I9-13900K?

Both the i7 12th gen and the i5 13th gen are around the same price in my area. Which is better? I checked some websites which said that the i5 13th gen is faster, but are there benefits of the i7 over the i5? -
Summary A report from DigiTimes in Taiwan says Intel has decided to slash the prices of its 12th Generation ‘Alder Lake’ Core processors by up to 20%. The source indicates that this price cut will be to encourage orders/boost demand, with hints that the cuts will affect both desktop and laptop CPUs. On top-tier products, the cuts could mean a price cut of up to $130 per processor. Quotes My thoughts I see this as a logical move by Intel, as AM4 is still very compelling option for most individuals. You can get an adequate B550 board, Ryzen 5 5600, and 16-32GB 3200MHz kit of DDR4 for a stellar price. By cutting the prices of Alder Lake/12th Gen by 20%, this makes going Intel a more persuasive alternative. I see Zen 4/AM5 and 13th Gen as very competitive, giving the edge to Intel. Nonetheless, this move by Intel will make previous Gen also very competitive. I'm not sure if this is still on track, but there was supposed to be a Raptor Lake refresh coming later in the year, allegedly Q3 2023. If this is true, it's possible Intel is trying to clear 12th Gen stock before Raptor Lake refresh launches to compete with Zen 4 7000X3D chips.

I am searching for a CPU cooler for the I7 13700kf. I have my eyes on the Silent and pure Loop 2 360mm (any size actually) but i dont know if it would be enough. Also i dont want to spend 300 Euros for a cooler. Air - Coolers are also an Option but i dont like the look of them, of course, if they are essential i'd take one. So my question is: Is the Silent Loop 2 or pure loop 2 enough for keeping it reasonably cold, and if not, what would be another option.

I recently received a PackardBell IMEDIA S3800 and I want to use it for movies only (I have my own gaming pc): LGA 1156 - i3 530 8GB DDR3 HD 5450 My question is, can I upgrade it to a i7 860 or does it suport only up to i5? I think it would be a nice upgrade Today I had to postpone a second hand buy because I could not be sure enough if the i7 would work. I searched a lot and I found on userbenchmark that i7's were used in an imedia s3800 and even found one model for sale with this cpu (old listing). All that I found tells me that it should 100% work, but I still need some confirmation from other people that have more knowledge in this field. Also, the back sides of i5 650 (which is my other option) and i7 860 are different, and the i5 has ¨200¨ written on the back whereas the i7 has ¨100¨, so this is one reason that makes me be unsure about the compatibility. The i3 that I have now installed has the back side identical with the i5 650. About the motherboard, it has only 2 stickers on it with some kind of information: M/B MBSD10900100600321EK00 U01J100502188 PC H57D01P8. 1.0.8EKS3H

I am heavy conflicted right now. on what I want to pick. I really like the the 13th Gen i7 and I've had i7 in all my previous systems, but at the same time the 13th Gen i5 is still a rock solid CPU its just a step down from the tier I am used to. Then there is the problem of the K or KF variants. While I would prefer to have K version for security should my graphic's card fail or something go wrong with the drivers for it the site I am looking to use for a custom build has a bunch of great discounts on the KF version making them quite a bit more affordable. I really want a system that will be a solid set up for at LEAST the next 5 years, but at the same time not break my bank.

Hello! I have been wondering if the Lenovo P320 (a 2017 Workstation Computer) supports the Intel® Core™ i7-8700 (a 2018 Processor). I have been searching online, and multiple sources say that the Lenovo P320 supports the LGA1151 socket format which the Intel® Core™ i7-8700 supports but other sources suggest that the Lenovo P320 only supports the LGA1150 socket format which the Intel® Core™ i7-8700 does not support. I have also been guessing that the Intel® Core™ i7-8700 supports 128GB of RAM which the Lenovo P320 does not support. Thanks! Jamie C -
Budget (including currency): 1500 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, Cyberpunk, MW2, Elden Ring, Tomb Raider, Callisto Protocol, War zone 2 etc Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I currently have a PC I inherited from my youngest brother after he tragically passed away in 2020. Its showing its age and cant run some of the newer games I want to play like Guardians of the Galaxy. The case is held together with some tape and runs on an AMD 8350 and MSI Gtx 970 (he was notoriously cheap, hence the tape, and missing power button cap etc.) So Ive decided to upgrade Baelub (named after my brother Caleb) to a new computer based on his legacy. Miss you bro. I have the following planned with some already purchased: CPU: Intel Core i7-12700KF 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor ($328 @ Amazon Sale) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler ($113 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 GAMING X DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($165 @ Amazon warehouse) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 3200 C16 Memory ($90 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($190 @ Amazon Sale) Video Card: EVGA FTW3 ULTRA GAMING LHR GeForce RTX 3080 10GB LHR 10 GB Video Card ($550 @ Facebook Marketplace Used) Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case ($85 @ eBay New) Case Fan: ARCTIC P12 PST 56.3 CFM 120 mm Fans 5-Pack ($35.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE GOLD 750 V2 FULL MODULAR 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($74 @ Amazon Used) Total: $1641 taxes + shipping included. Im a noob. So my question is this, is this overkill? Im trying to guild around the GPU which I got for a great price. Should I downgrade to an i5? Is this a feasible build? Any help, critiques, etc are welcome. I've done as much research as I can, but I'm not dumb enough to think I know what I'm doing yet! The only real "solid" items here are the GPU, and Case. All the other stuff can be returned to Amazon if needed. My monitor is a Benq 120hz Led XL2410T, so I realize I might need to upgrade this to get the benefits of new computer (any suggestions would be helpful so I can save up for one) Thank you for reading

I'm looking to buy a laptop around the $1000-1200 mark. Would prefer 12th gen i7, RTX 3060, weight within 5.5 lbs (2.5 KG), a 2.5 inch bay along with the m.2 nvme slot. (edit: Not needed) My own research led me to the Asus TUF Dash 15 FX517ZM-AS73, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RMH9B6F But, I'm not sure if it has a 2.5 inch bay. If it doesn't can someone suggest me an alternative?
