If an overclocked CPU us using safe power limits and as consequence throttles core clocks without Turbo Boost enabled, then what is the point of Turbo Boost? In both cases CPU core clocks change frequency to stay within assigned power limits and clocks. Perhaps Turbo Boost enablement forces CPU cores to run at stock frequencies unless they can handle running at higher frequences while Turbo Boost disablement forces CPU cores to run at overclocked frequencies unless they can't handle...

I recently found out, randomly to myself, that the option in BIOS - Hardware Prefetcher creates stutters for my CPU in many games including Vallheim, Rust, Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, Team Fortress 2. My system: 12600K ((SRL4T / V211K111 (e4) )) - Just rewrote the CPU cap. 6800 XT Sakura Hitomi 32 GB DDR5 - 5600 Mhz, 40-40-40-80 (XMP) MSI Z690 Tomahawk Wi-Fi DDR5 What does this mean? Did MSI's crooked bios ruin my performance or do I have some defective CPU? Without this preftcher I have...

Purchased an MSI R2 Codex Series pre built system: Codex R2 B14NUC7-095US The motherboard is a Pro B760 VC Wifi II so I figured I check to see if the BIOS required an update and I did see an update here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/PRO-B760-VC-WIFI/support#bios The BIOS update went without issue. But after updating I noticed that the actual BIOS should have been...https://us.msi.com/Desktop/Codex-R2-14th/support?sku_id=94270 From... BIOS ..read more

Today I tried to update my GPU drivers, I used DDU in safe mode restarted, instant fail when I ran the installer, didn't even bother looking for the card. This happened once before, didn't matter what GPU I had in the machine it wouldn't install, couldn't extract zip/rar either, I had to tighten my Thermalright contact frame, it fixed it, but it hasn't fixed it this time. I got to the point I reinstalled the default latch, still the same, I actually can't even extract a zip/rar file without... 13900k/Z790 Hero Issue ..read more

As noted by the company behind the compression technology: Intel Processor Instability Causing Oodle Decompression Failures (radgametools.com) RAD has become aware of a problem that can cause Oodle Data decompression failures, or crashes in games built with Unreal. We believe that this is a hardware problem which affects primarily Intel 13900K and 14900K processors, less likely 13700, 14700 and other related processors as...

I am having issues with this board booting with more then one dimm of ram installed. I have tried multiple CPU’s and different kits of ram and same problem. When I use one stick it boots fine. If I put two or more in board shows a red light near the memory ok button. Any ideas why and how I can fix it? The manual is very vague on this issue. This is a lga 1155 board. Thanks in advance ..read more

I was reevaluating my 10600k setup. It was driven at 1.220 Vcore @ 4.7 all core basically since it was bought. That gave best temps/noise/performance ratio and i was happy with it. When i wanted to see some review ratios, how it fares with recent gen CPUs at this OC, i opened guru3d review of 10600k and looked up Cinebench20 score, 3600 even. Fired up CB and also got 3600 even but my CPU should be doing +200Mhz from the default. The review on G3D noted that they did not enable "enhanced... 10600k cant validate review results ..read more
