https://www.overclock.net/posts/29533277/ This guy says ASROCK blames AMD for the varying chip quality that sometimes is ill-suited for overclocking and thus the chips die. Come to think about it, turning on EXPO is overclocking so maybe all some chips can handle is stock 5200 RAM speed and...

Because ASROCK AM5 customers are primarily AMD customers. ASROCK is AMD's partner. AMD has a dual responsibility towards their customer and their partner. If they think ASROCK is no longer fit to create reliable AM5 mobos, they should publicly terminate their relationship. Otherwise, help ASROCK...

https://forum.level1techs.com/t/attempting-to-troubleshoot-the-asrock-motherboards-of-death/241539 I made my first post there. Fingers crossed whether it gets approved.

Definitely to clear stock and I would actually prefer that the price go even lower. Should teach them a good lesson to put out an unfinished product. For me, not worth it at this price. I would pay probably $125 for it and they would still make a tiny profit on it. Maybe $1 or $2. They have...

But it's so cute! Top excuse is gonna be, "Wife won't even notice there's something new in the room!".

Did you use ear plugs? Fan noise becomes unbearable at anything over 3500 rpm.

The room would definitely get heated well (the tasks would take their sweet time to complete). You know, in countries like Japan, they would've used the heat for something useful, like a coffee mug heater. When life gives you lemons, you squeeze them and make lemonade.

But in frequency sensitive tasks, it would be unbeatable.

On some Zen 5 cores able to hit 6 GHz even on N4. Zen 5 is crazy more sophisticated and complex compared to the simpler pipelines of P4. It would've loved soaring on N4.

We would be past 10 GHz by now if P4 had been kept alive in one form or another.

I personally wouldn't buy a slower GPU with a faster CPU unless there are plenty of things I'm looking to do with the faster CPU that don't involve gaming. Some people will prefer having a faster CPU as a better "foundation" for a long term system. As for deciding between Arrow Lake and Zen 5...

Cool book for anyone interested in magnets: https://www.automate.org/userAssets/a3/a3Uploads/pdf/Hitachi-Magnet-Handbook.pdf (loads very slow so be patient)

Panther Lake vs. Arrow Lake frequencies in GB6.5 If the performance holds at higher frequencies, then 5.1 GHz Panther Lake is almost as good as 5.8 GHz Arrow Lake!

I jumped the gun. PTL has 6MB less cache yet performing well. So with more cache, it could do pretty well in games.

First leaked result of Panther Lake isn't looking so hot: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/15217168?baseline=13130864 If these results are any indication, Panther Lake just seems to be a direct optical shrink of Arrow Lake on 18A or 18A is THAT crap.

/s obviously. https://videocardz.com/newz/zotac-rtx-5090-12v-2x6-connector-completely-melts-with-below-recommended-850w-psu It's not user error if there is literally no safety factor built into these GPUs. Even my worst GPU failure (RX 580 pulled power from PCIe slots) didn't result in...
