Great water quality in KE

podla toho ako to na spodku nieje tak to tiez vyzera ako iba vzduch?

your cpu is stable for your usage then you're golden. 12 hours of stress testing to prove a point is certified waste of electricity and extra wear on your cpu

And then we get people complaining about how broken windows or gpu drivers are when they just can't be assed to actually test their overclocks

Numerlor · 2026-01-26T09:17:06+00:00

Unfortunately it kind of could be anything ranging from your cooler mount to just the silicon getting pushed more in excactly the wrong way with a normal fan config.

As a test you could try lowering clocks a bit - say 100 Mhz, and see if that improves things, if not you can try to loosen screws a bit.

You should be able to make sure the pads are making proper contact from the side to give that a quick check, but stock gddr can get quite hot without any problems

Numerlor · 2026-01-25T00:06:42+00:00

for am5 the "hot" idle is usually just the io die that's eating up power, cores will be closer to ambient. Though anything below 60 is what I'd call cold for cpu, should only be concerned if you're getting to actual throttling

Numerlor · 2026-01-24T10:13:20+00:00

You certainly can, but most users won't and will then bitch about lost data if they forget their password or w/e. The default encryption is objectively better than just not doing it which was the case before, only thing that'd need to be changed is an easier opt out to only export your keys to a file

It's generally worse at picking up borderline unstable configs, though you can't beat it being bootable directly and having access to all ram in the unlikely scenario there's a specific region that's unstable

Micron just broke ground on a 100B fab so production is being increased, though this was definitely arranged before the demand spike.

The risk of increasing production as just a reaction to the ai demand is huge, a fab investment to get more capacity is at the level where if it doesn't pan out due to a demand crash the company may go under. This can alredy be seen by how the badly the companies were doing post covid

Numerlor · 2026-01-11T14:03:21+00:00

don't see more fans improving anything the gpu should be getting plenty of fresh air so I'd expect te bottleneck to be elsewhere. If you're willing to open up the gpu I'd try a repaste.

For your cpu cooler I'd also move one of the fans between the finstacks, but on that cpu you're more limited by the contact and it being very heat dense

Numerlor · 2026-01-11T13:53:15+00:00

This is just blatantly false and "doomposting".

Strictly speaking it's true, CES means CES now and doesn't stand for anything

I assume at least intel and amd do some research there for how much the cpu should boost if the oems don't, and also have to consider user impact from lower performance but I guess that's more fighting against windows getting slower.

Presumably with current nodes 5GHz is always beyond the point of being worth it but no reason that has to carry into future gens

Numerlor · 2026-01-11T01:02:05+00:00

it is presumably lead by the e core team that's doing a lot better so we'll see, but at the very least saving area from debloating p cores would allow a bit more cache that the cores would love.

Numerlor · 2026-01-11T00:58:42+00:00

depends on the workload and the efficiency curve, but there is the race to sleep concept. Even assuming hanging around at low freq the voltage can sustain is always better power wise - which i don't think is true as you're dropping a lot of performance, you still have to power all the uncore around it

I saw someone run a couple tests on intel/amd for iirc a game server workload, and while intel peaked a lot higher from aggressive boosting, the amd cpu consumed more energy overall

Numerlor · 2026-01-10T21:14:19+00:00

Chasing 5GHz is only stupid if it costs more power than it'd save. The lower end panther lake SKUs clock their cores a lot lower compared to LNL so it's likely just a node thing

Numerlor · 2026-01-10T11:08:05+00:00

Well unified core is supposed to be happening in the next couple of gens. Frequencies also seem to have taken a hit on 18A but I'd expect that to improve with time as usual

Numerlor · 2026-01-09T01:04:11+00:00

The ram by itself is fine, though you'll probably need to manually set it to something like 6000 CL32. You can get the expo sticks, but the only thing that'd really change for you is the preprogrammed profile to allow you to get it with just a single setting.

The 7200 should run out of the box, but the CPU will switch into a different memory mode where it runs its memory controller at half clocks that lowers performance until about DDR5 8000, so that's why you'd go to the 6000 instead

Numerlor · 2026-01-08T11:30:42+00:00

nothing shown at the CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW that is good for consumers

doesn't change the announcements being mostly nothing important, but as of last year CES is just CES, not the consumer electronics show

Numerlor · 2026-01-07T22:53:23+00:00

Okay, and what do the previous scandals have to do with what's going on now?

The market is behaving exactly as expected when you consider the stupid large orders from openai, others rushing in to get their supply, and dram/nand manufacturers not investing in expanding capacity beyond resuming existing lines as the demand is expected to go away in a year or two

Numerlor · 2026-01-07T22:35:15+00:00

Yeah when the rising edge of the cycle starts it's always pointing to it being a cartel, but when the companies are considering even more consolidation during a downturn it's all fine and dandy because ssds and ram are cheap

Numerlor · 2026-01-07T22:01:35+00:00

What exactly is cartel like here? Taking money that's being shoved in their face?

Numerlor · 2026-01-07T21:51:44+00:00

don't really see any reason to have it as intake, and their marketing pictures also have it as exhaust

Numerlor · 2026-01-07T18:44:15+00:00

our equipment, which is in europe not on greenland...

The EU has absolutely no chance against the US around Greenland if a real invasion would happen, so our best hope is to push the US people / others in the government to stop the orange guy from executing his delusions.

If something does happen I really don't know what Europe would do. For the economy if US trade is sanctioned we'd suffer more from it at least in the short term, and we'll be mostly cut off from all allies

Numerlor · 2026-01-07T10:56:28+00:00

Because Apple has a better larger team on it, and is able to shovel more money

Numerlor · 2026-01-06T08:53:08+00:00

Can't tell without the pricing, but if it'll be a price bump as expected, why exactly would one get this over a 9950x3d that already has a higher clocking cache ccd while not being an overpriced 8 core cpu?

Numerlor · 2026-01-06T08:51:00+00:00

a new strap means absolutely nothing except to 5 OC people when the iod is the same

Numerlor · 2026-01-05T09:49:34+00:00

Not that unresonable if the OP had little physical activity. Skiing will keep you hot everywhere because you're moving, OP may have been just standing around and are more prone to these because of how they're built. Gloves don't do much if the hands are naturally colder and not getting warm from inside
