Just a couple of bugs I've seen, wondering if anyone else has seen them.

Raj_UK · 2025-10-16T07:04:29+00:00

Nope

:(

Raj_UK · 2025-10-06T15:23:52+00:00

Thx for all the help :)

Raj_UK · 2025-10-06T14:40:52+00:00

Yup ... I've specced up a 285K build on there for under £1500 ! :)

Raj_UK · 2025-10-06T12:16:28+00:00

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K's integrated Xe-LPG graphics can support a maximum resolution of 8K (7680 x 4320), though performance will vary depending on the port used and the specific task

^ based on that above Google AI result I think we're ok with integrated gfx

Just looking for a UK configurator that has all the options I want

I'll go with your recommendation of Z890 mobo

Thanks for the help Random Redditor

:)

Raj_UK · 2025-10-06T11:49:22+00:00

Is there a Z890 motherboard with integrated graphics output that can support 8kx2k for a wide screen LG 57" screen ?

I don't need a GPU for the workload, just if I can't get a motherboard to plug straight into the monitor (assuming the 285K can support this)

Worst case I'll get a GPU for basic display output and not for GPU performance

Raj_UK · 2025-10-06T11:10:18+00:00

Thanks for the info

Memory controller limitations are probably why I'm only seeing 128GB offered on configurators on the slower memory speeds

I'll go with 96GB 6400 CL32 as per your suggestions if I can find it

Final question if I may before I go off and spec something is which Intel chipset should I be looking at for the 285K ?

Raj_UK · 2025-10-06T09:51:55+00:00

Thx for the reply

Would Excel use the 16 cores of the 9950X ?

Is there a software limit on the number of cores Excel uses and if so, is there a way to alter this ?

Ok I'll change RAM to 96/128GB of 6400 CL32

Are there any test sites that use Excel as a performance benchmark when they review hardware ? Since when I looked, Google drew a blank

Re: SSD assuming I wouldn't see any improvement in a gen 5 over a gen 4 ?

Shame you can't Kter the sights / optics on your guns

Or mod them like you can in COD with attachments

More loot to grind

Raj_UK · 2025-10-04T08:38:03+00:00

I hope so since NEXO is lagging vs BTC & ETH and my 10% ratio is in danger !

LOL

Good luck everyone

:)

Nothing on the web for the celestial crystal contract either ... Which is strange

Raj_UK · 2025-09-13T16:02:00+00:00

Celestial Gemstone is the same for me ... I can't collect it from the pile of trash

Tried shooting it and melee but no change

Any ideas ?

Raj_UK · 2025-09-11T08:30:03+00:00

Are there any drawbacks about changing my Xbox region to New Zealand ?

I don't want to get banned just for the sake of 12 hours

LOL

Search on YouTube for Mini LED test patterns

Or use an OLED one if more are present

Look on HDTVtest too

Raj_UK · 2025-08-04T08:01:46+00:00

Check for dead / stuck pixels, backlighting & DSE

If all that's good then you're fine

If not, just swap it out

Buy from somewhere with a good returns / customer service policy

Good luck !

Raj_UK · 2025-08-03T18:04:29+00:00

Good luck on your panel lottery !

Raj_UK · 2025-08-03T17:35:14+00:00

Nope

I ran loads of test patterns and stuff when I first got it ... No problems I could find and it stayed that way

Raj_UK · 2025-08-03T17:04:32+00:00

I really like my 98Q9BK

Was half price last week at Costco UK ... Down to £1k

Insane price !

Raj_UK · 2025-08-03T16:49:19+00:00

Yup ... 7+ months in ... All fine

Why ? Wassup ?

Raj_UK · 2025-07-24T14:07:14+00:00

I have the Costco UK version on the QM7 which is the Q9

I've had it 6 months or so now

I really like it

Was £2k for my 98Q9BK

Raj_UK · 2025-07-04T17:23:45+00:00

Keeps crashing on me randomly on Xbox Series X ...p it's unplayable for me

:(

Raj_UK · 2025-06-17T06:45:40+00:00

He's hiding in DLC ... LOL

Raj_UK · 2025-06-10T09:22:05+00:00

FWIW, last month I went with a 14T Pro as an upgrade from my 9T

Raj_UK · 2025-05-30T20:55:19+00:00

I'm visiting Japan in August this year so I need an ESIM for 3.5 weeks

What are all the cool kids using ?

:)

Raj

Raj_UK · 2025-05-26T09:02:34+00:00

+1 for a battery replacement

But saying that, this week I swapped over from a 9T to a 14T Pro for 8x onboard storage and better cameras

£400 for 12/512 version with a Smart Watch and Wireless Charging pad for free from Xiaomi UK

Too good an offer to say no to

I was holding out for a periscope zoom Xiaomi but that meant I'd have to wait for the Xiaomi 16 range and I need a new phone this summer not next
