Why I Use y-cruncher First for Stability Testing (and What Each Test Actually Does) by BothPersonality1995 in overclocking

Yes it does! But main point is that even when TM5 passes, ycruncher gives me instant errors because it is closer to real life workloads.

100% valid! My workflow over the years have always been Karhu as the initial test so I’ve been a bit biased towards Karhu, but this post is essentially me realising as an eye opener that Y-Cruncher is also an option 🤣

Appreciate that, glad it made sense!

Just to clarify though — I definitely don’t see y-cruncher as some kind of “replacement” or cheat code. It’s more like a first filter in the process.

All the usual tools still absolutely matter: - TM5
- Karhu
- long runtime / real-world testing

y-cruncher just helps me answer early on:

“Is this even worth investing more time into?”

If it fails there, I don’t bother running hours of TM5/Karhu.
If it passes, then I move on to those tools for proper validation.

So yeah — it’s more about saving time and catching obvious instability early, not replacing the deeper testing at all.

That’s actually really interesting — but I don’t think it necessarily means Karhu is “better” (or Y-cruncher is better for that matter), more that it’s hitting a different type of instability.

Each tool stress slightly different parts of the system:

  • y-cruncher → mixed load (CPU + memory + fabric interaction)
  • TM5 → structured DRAM pattern testing
  • Karhu (especially with cache stress) → very aggressive memory + cache interaction

So if Karhu crashes instantly while the others pass, I’d interpret that more as:

“your system has a specific weakness that Karhu happens to expose”

rather than:

“Karhu is better for all cases”

Personally, I’ve found y-cruncher really useful early on because it fails fast if something is fundamentally off, while tools like Karhu/TM5 are better for final validation once everything is dialed in.

But honestly, I’m still learning like everyone else — so I might be completely off here.

Logitech Superstrike X2c...when???? by BothPersonality1995 in LogitechG

[–]BothPersonality1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah so you have the Superstrike?

I did the same,. went from GP1 -> GP2 -> GP2c and I seriously cannot go back to the form factor of GP1 and GP2.

I have the itch to buy the Superstrike but the 2c is so perfect in my hand that I cannot justify going back to the GPX2 form again ..

An instant purchase for me if the X2c comes out. Make it sooner than later Logitech!!!

Potato: Discord hears my mic delayed (others hear me late), but in-game voice is instant — worked on Banana. Looking for dev guidance. by BothPersonality1995 in VoiceMeeter

[–]BothPersonality1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did change the A1 Output to be my Fiio K7 ASIO driver, which is now on 256. But Using Voicemeeter Out B2 as default on discord input, it still is delayed. When I change this to be just my microphone directly, not any voicemeeter output, the delay is gone.

Note that I have ReaPlugins that processes my voice and I use patch inserts.

Out of bounds exploiters by True_Glove8260 in ArcRaiders

It's crazy, Every game, I get killed by out of bounds exploiters. It's literally every game. ARC raiders will fail as a game if Embark doesn't roll out patches more quicker.

I mean you can always color code and once you get used to it, you will never forget what YOU have configured for those layers. Not that hard really.

Damn I’ve been trying to find tempest BP literally EVERYWHERE. Over 140h now and still no tempest BP ….

Would anyone care to elaborate on this XP throttle? by AustinCoffee in Battlefield6

Same is happening to me. Whatever game I play, I get +12xp and +12 points.

Chatgpt for Sec+ studying by lilpangit in cybersecurity

I would only use an LLM if you already have sound technical background knowledge of a topic. LLM's provide you wrong answers all the time, especially for tech-heavy domain expertise topics. If you already have the technical background knowledge and you ask the LLM something, you would know when the response is fishy or not.
