MemTest86 already has a rowhammer test, not sure how it compares to blacksmith but some sticks I have do fail that test and can only be mitigated by setting tREFI extremely low (while also taking a large performance…
Yeah, that looks correct. With faster ram and PBO it should hit closer to 1800. Here is my 5600x with PBO enabled and 3800MT/s CL16 DDR4 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/10516280 5800x would have a max clock of…
That's certainly overclocked or very high PBO offsets, at stock the 5800x gets around 1700-1800 ST.
Single core is similar to the 5900x but multicore is more in line with 3900x. Quite impressive for a laptop, I'm sure the power consumption will be much higher compared to the M1 but likely no where near desktop parts.
Same. Doesn't hurt that they were $50 on sale. I've had them for over a year with no issues.
Sandy-E to Haswell-E i7's do not officially support 128gb, though there have been reports of it working. Broadwell-E i7's now officially support 128gb. All the Xeon equivalents (e5-1650/60,80, etc) support 256-768gb…
Currently, no. 1. Apples EULA does not allow OSX on non-apple hardware. 2. Some major updates can break customizations and require some modifications (bootloaders, etc) to be re-installed I have no problem helping a…
That is your experience. A properly set up Hackintosh (with a custom DSDT and the proper kexts as needed) can be as reliable as a genuine Mac. Regarding Windows machines, I've had desktops that would be used for months…
Any time I buy a used board I check the board carefully for any kind of modification or odd looking solder joints and re-flash the bios/uefi with the latest version. Of course something could still be modified, but so…
I'm not sure why they even considered P4's, the pre-prescott P4's don't even have Speedstep. That means they run full voltage/speed all the time which is terribly inefficient. Core 2 Duos are much more energy efficient,…
Core 2 Duos and Pentium Dual Cores under 3ghz are fairly energy efficient chips (~65w) and they use Speedstep, etc to keep power consumption low at idle. Of course newer dual cores and more modern chipsets will use less…
I can assure you that it does work. Not sure about 340f though. I baked a Nvidia GTX470 at 390f for 10 minutes and it eliminated the artifacts/crashing and has been working fine for months. It probably won't work…
60fps here (3.4ghz Core 2 Quad/GTX 470/Firefox/fullscreen 1920x1200). CPU usage is 9%, GPU usage is 22%.
Interesting, but it seems like it is dropping frames all over the place. I suppose it would be good enough for presentations but not for movie or game use. I suppose with later iterations it could improve, but I would…
If you are using Windows you might want to give Pale Moon a try, on my system it is much smoother than the official Firefox/Aurora/Nightly. Pale Moon feels as smooth as the official Firefox does under OS X, for whatever…
Exactly. I have a 64gb SD card and a dedicated battery charger with three extra batteries. As lame as it might seem I just keep a spare battery with me at all times when the unexpected happens and I'm out later than…
USB Overdrive works well too. X-Button Mouse Control is probably the best on Windows.
Which is why I prefer the Nexus video. :)
I honestly don't think it looks better. I am a fan of "proper" color balance, not cross processed type filtering (instagram, lomo, toy cameras, etc). And I think the OP's is definitely better in that regard.
Gingerbread fixes some of the "lag" issues with the partly GPU accelerated UI, mostly noticeable in the notifications pull-down menu. Opera Mobile (GPU accelerated), with a decent launcher, memory optimizations (V6…
Sony had some great CRT monitors. I had two IBM P275's (Sony G520), I ran them at 2048x1536@75hz they worked great for years, the colors/black levels were amazing. Eventually they started getting washed out (no black),…
My Vaio Z got about a week of standby on a battery with about 30% charge left. I guess it really depends on the machine.
While it is true that the Vaio Z is priced higher than the Air, the Vaio Z also has a faster processor (2.3ghz vs 1.7ghz), and can be configured to have up to a 2.7ghz i7, 512gb SSD, 8gb of ram, and a full 1920x1080…
Works great in Chrome and Firefox (both nightlies and q6600/9600gt).
I think you are going a bit overboard, sure Sony may not be the Sony they were in the 80s or 90s, but they do still make quality hardware. The Playstation 3 is probably the most reliable console (hardware wise) out of…
