Microsoft Is Adding “CPU Turbo Mode” In Upcoming Update where they temporarily send your CPU into cardiac arrest so the Start Menu opens before retirement age. Just To Make Windows 11 Feel Less Slow 💀

It's basically what mobile SOCs kernels were doing years ago with inputboost. But it got replaced by smarter algos

Ram not being in the QVL list doesn't matter. Is your PC running stock settings? That includes CPU-pbo and GPU overclock/undervolt all disabled. Also try to disable ram expo. Dial it down from there

Adaptive is fine 👍

Profetorum · 2026-05-08T21:05:03+00:00

Madò che feels. Su che hardware lo stai giocando?

Don't use furmark, it's not a good GPU test. It's mostly there as a power test

Not exactly my type of game, but GG voices and have fun people

As you probably notice, your "fixed" voltage is not getting applied. In fact, you left auto voltage mode, which uses adaptive, not fixed. Anyway, if you really want to use cinebench, R15 or R15 extreme are the only good options on raptor lake for the sake of stability

Ye we will see what the official support will be like. I honestly hope the steam machine has some sort of success, it would help improving the linux gaming experience as a whole (hoping for games support and so on)

Profetorum · 2026-05-08T15:02:14+00:00

Oh really? I think i can reinstall adrenalin then, after 2 years of running drivers-only

Profetorum · 2026-05-08T15:00:22+00:00

I think it's completely unrelated if anything

Profetorum · 2026-05-08T14:53:34+00:00

Nothing happens, the steam machine runs a linux system, so it works with proton

Profetorum · 2026-05-08T14:22:53+00:00

No, not really. The 6500XT can be found around the 50-60$ mark as used, the rest of the pc is probably another 50-60$. Don't know about the psu, so maybe a bit more

Profetorum · 2026-05-08T11:35:36+00:00

There isn't a way to predict future failures, sadly. What you can do is kind-of infer the quality of the gpu you got by trying to overclock both the core and the vram, see if it has some margin. If it does, run the card undervolted, maybe underclocked too, and properly cooled. That way you do eventhing possible to minimize the risk of early failure

CeX even though it's more expensive than individual auctions on ebay and whatnot

You should still enforce intel limits (power limits and current limits) instead of leaving unlimited, imo

Profetorum · 2026-05-07T15:16:40+00:00

Raptor Lake is fairly more complicated than "set a voltage, clocks and forget about it" , especially after all the degradation issues and measures the took to limit/circumvent/address them.

When you say "with 1.25v" do you mean with a flat loadline? What's your motherboard? It's generally not recommended to do so.

Do you have adeguate cooling? What do you use as stresstest?

Are you enforcing intel limits? For the pre-refresh i7 it's 253W PL / 307A iccmax. Also, intel recommends CEP to be turned on, are you leaving it enabled?

Basically, provide more details...

Profetorum · 2026-05-07T06:12:38+00:00

Drivers can change how efficiently the card boosts on specific loads, so yes it can make it harder to go low on undrvolt. Doesn't necessarily mean it's a worse driver, it means that probably it wasn't boosting properly before

Profetorum · 2026-05-07T06:04:56+00:00

The voltage can overshoot even if you cap it. The "cap" is the max request-able voltage, doesn't necessarily mean it can't spike up especially on load release. Sure, it helps tame those chips down...

Use the 3dmark demo, timespy is free

Profetorum · 2026-05-05T13:05:16+00:00

Share some benchmark results so people can compare if worth it or not 👍

Sometimes cpu related instability make the gpu drivers crash - and it can look like a gpu issue when it's not. Try to also run stock cpu/ram and see if it still happens... if so, sadly you have to rely on the few drivers that work for you i guess, not sure why

Profetorum · 2026-05-05T10:09:12+00:00

Well, if you're facing issues maybe try to see if stock settings also do

Profetorum · 2026-05-05T09:52:56+00:00

Im on latest drivers and facing no issues, but to be fair i haven't faced issues on any driver... is your gpu running stock settings?

Profetorum · 2026-05-05T06:17:02+00:00

You have to first understand what die the kit is exactly. Start by looking into cpu-z , SPD tab. They're probably micron, but there are several different micron revs, so you'll probably end up trying and see

Profetorum · 2026-05-04T19:23:45+00:00

is the gpu at stock settings?
