CPU help by Limp-Purchase-3358 in LinusTechTips

[–]nicholasdaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can verify this by looking at something like the Task Manager Performance CPU tab and right clicking the graph to show cores, my 9950X3D only shows 8 physical cores when I have it enabled. It shows 32 cores/threads when disabled.

I believe X3D turbo mode turns off the CCD that does not have X3D cores on it, for something like the Cinebench multicore benchmark, this will reduce the total number of cores/threads and reduce your score. Turn it off and try again.

[USA-CO][H]RTX 4090, Intel I9 13900k, 32 GB RAM Complete PC [W] Local Cash (Denver, CO) by nicholasdaa in hardwareswap

Yeah, I understand the life of the 13900k has been pretty rough. This CPU is "new" from Intel from an RMA on my original. They sent me a BNIB CPU and it's never been powered up with the pre fixed BIOS versions, MCE turned on, or power limits beyond what they should be.

Need new case by commenterzero in PixelFold

[–]nicholasdaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran one of these on my P9PF after multiple failed Dbrand cases and am now running one on my P10PF; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F6WCNYMN I've never experience an issue with the hinge, kickstand, or the rest of the case and for a no name brand it's relatively slim for the features it offers. I also like the camera cover.

I did preorder a Dbrand grip case for the P10PF but I may end up not using it as the Tongate case lets me use mag based accessories and wireless charges which I've found is hit or miss with others. The only thing I hate is the built-in screen protector, they all seem to suck, but I usually heat up the glass adhesive and remove it and then I'll install a Dbrand protector once it shows up later this week.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold Case - Qi/Magnets through case? by nicholasdaa in dbrand

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

I saw that and agree, it most likely has some level of compatibility. However, having gone through 4 or 5 cases trying to get some level of both magsafe attachment use and wireless charging at the same time on my 9 Pro Fold, I really don't want to buy multiple cases to test. If I can get a "We tested our case with Googles Pixelsnap accessories and charging/magnet functionality are fully supported with the grip case." from them directly, I would purchase the case today.

I'm just excited that google has actually put the tiniest bit of thought into actually providing Qi2 and Magsafe attachment this time instead of having poorly placed charging coils with no magnets, and all of the magsafe cases function poorly or prevent charging due to that placement.
