four CPU cores really isn't always enough anymore, huh

· · Web · 3 · 0 · 1

trying to stream to Discord while playing GTAV and my poor quad-core Haswell is just maxed out so much the game can't load in the road

maybe I should try to get a stable overclock on this again but I think my board is too wonky for that

almost double your RAM speed with this one weird trick

god I'd really like to know why my board doesn't like to open the UEFI setup most of the time

did I really just get a bluescreen because of XMP

rambling 

I wonder how many people have their RAM running without XMP. When my brother first got his computer (prebuilt from selected parts, it was a free offer from the store because Ryzen 2s were new and they didn't wanna send people CPUs to update their BIOSes) he couldn't turn on XMP. Took us a bit to figure out that XMP wouldn't work because one of his RAM sticks was just… bad. Was a pain in the ass to get it replaced, even though the building explicitly included testing, one would assume that they'd at least check if the mobo would post and see if all the hardware showed up…

@noiob yep :| I've got a laptop with an i7-5600U and it's showing age to put it nicely (but to be honest I'm used to very fast computers)

@noiob even 6 cores are getting really taken apart in some AAA games nowadays :(
my 2600 is already bottlenecking me...
