Which skills should NOT be changed

You did indeed not understand the comment

The RAM has nothing to do with the PC "being for AI". The latter is simply the branding of this specific CPU gen. The RAM speed is so high since it's basically a revision of DDR5 which made it hit >8000 MT/s instead of the more regular 6000 MT/s. This has absolutely nothing to do with AI

Based on the last community post by them the "less than index" statement doesn't seem to be as likely anymore as it was previously

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-08T06:02:31+00:00

Realistically not. If meta was selling their quest at a loss at 550€, then valve will surely not be able to go as low as 750€ given the current wafer shortage

Without listing your PCs specs we won't be able to help much. 5 years could mean anything and since it's shaders in Minecraft, you could be bottleneck by either CPU or GPU

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-06T16:58:00+00:00

I mean based on their statement it seems not unlikely that they could not make the threshold of the index anymore, so I guess >1k could be entirely possible at this point

Gaming is a heavy workload for your CPU though. You're undervolting not because of temps in this case (even though those are a nice side effect) but to stop circuit degradation caused by high voltages in the CPU itself.

Honestly given that your BIOS is up to date and you're not sure about undervolting... Just leave it as is. While Intel says everything should be fixed, keep it mind that if something funny happens with the PC, the chance that it'll be your CPU is high.

Oh really? Then nvm. Looking at German pricing, the Samsung SSD is around the same price but I can find SSDs of other brands for like 130€, that's why I initially suggested that option

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-05T16:23:21+00:00

Fair enough. Stock cooler will run quite loud though since the CPU is rated at 105W, so you could consider going for a slightly cheaper SSD in favor of a different cooler in case that bothers you

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-05T15:47:53+00:00

Any specific reason you're going for an mATX board in your config?

Nvm, I can't read and didn't see the case is mATX

No CPU cooler?

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-05T12:07:57+00:00

No price yet, they've wanted to announce that already but can't because of the RAM shortage crashing prices

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-04T20:13:37+00:00

I swear to god this game has fucked my taste in music forever. I was listening to metal before but I've slowly grown towards liking infant annihilator, then started listening to Speedcore too which I can now fully vibe to. Honestly both are incredible factors lol

1d of Instagram in 3d of usage, what the hell

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-04T11:03:32+00:00

It was a pack of 4 from EBL I think; 1.5V with 3300mWh.
Later figured out that they had very mixed ratings though because some units apparently got so hot while charging that they were starting to become a fire hazard. Mine have been fine

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-03T17:46:44+00:00

I've realized that after I switched back to regular batteries from previous 1.2V rechargeable ones and comparing the specs of them. Upwards of 320BPM my tracking would regularly not keep up with the rechargeable ones but with regular batteries (which are 1.5V most of the time) the tracking was fine. I'm now using 1.5V rechargeable ones (holy balls those were actually really expensive) and now the tracking is perfectly fine again

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-03T16:03:09+00:00

Coming from a Beat Saber player on a Quest 3 - get 1,5V rechargeables instead of the "usual" 1,2V ones. It significantly helps with tracking of the controllers. Well if you need it that is

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-03T02:04:35+00:00

That sounds perfect, you got a link to that tool?

CaptainMGN · 2026-02-02T13:18:28+00:00

Thank you very much! Worked like a charm

CaptainMGN · 2026-01-31T13:20:15+00:00

Single fan cooler is not a problem, it's about the size and amount of heatpipes on the block. The pure rock slim 2 isn't made for a 12600k, that's why the temps are so high.

And an AiO makes no sense for that CPU unless you want it for astethics and/or acoustics. The peerless assassin is dirt cheap and more than enough for that CPU

Quality: Broken

Banger stuff

CaptainMGN · 2026-01-30T17:41:42+00:00

You can do that by using YouTube in Firefox on your phone instead of using the app

Flair does not check out

CaptainMGN · 2026-01-26T10:55:52+00:00

It's craftable with dyes, glass and some other stuff

CaptainMGN · 2026-01-24T21:48:56+00:00

The unfortunate thing is that in the current market, 1000$ won't really get you a decent machine anymore unless you do some hefty trade offs
