@unikoshardware Based on current ICs I'd want the Hynix ones, but who knows. Maybe the micron ICs have the minerals this time. Good to see these 👌🏾

[TheOverclocker @theoverclocker]

AMD, Nvidia and so many others in key positions do have the means to influence the consumer pricing of DRAM, even if a little. I don't know how, but it would be odd if they, exactly like the end user, were completely at the mercy of DRAM IC vendors.

[OC3D @OC3D]

AMD predicts 20%+ gaming decline due to higher costs later this year.

@facegamefps I know, but not a single kit I have can do this across multiple vendor memory sticks. XPG Lancer, Corsair Vengeance, G.Skill Trident, Kingston Fury, etc. all 8000+ kits, none can. Again would not hurt to try.

[TheOverclocker @theoverclocker]

These could be very interesting IC's. 1.1v for 8000MT/s is remarkable, I've not come across any kit yet that can do this at such a low voltage regardless of timings.

[Wccftech @wccftech]

Teamgroup pushes Elite DDR5 to 8000 MT/s at just 1.1V, squeezing JEDEC-compliant speed out of mainstream memory. https://t.co/M9PNv1YI0Z

Tested Heterogeneous Thread Scheduling Policy on the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K in Fortnite using PowerSettingsExplorer to get most out of the hybrid CPU uArch on our custom powerplan.

- Fully Forcing it to P-cores only and it actually drops to 365.
- Let it use all cores with efficient short-run scheduling and it jumps to 531 with very low STDEV (frame to frame variance)🚀

Thread assignment on hybrid CPUs matters more than most people realize

Key takeaway: forcing P-cores only on a hybrid CPU is actually Counterproductive.

To replicate this on your intel CPU:

- Download PowerSettingsExplorer
- Go to Processor Power Management section
- Set "Heterogeneous Thread Scheduling Policy" → all processors
- Set "Heterogeneous Short Running Thread Scheduling Policy" → Prefer efficient processors

[TheOverclocker @theoverclocker]

Very interesting info & while not related, I found that if I'm to sacrifice cores for frequency/power or thermals. It's better to sacrifice the limited P-Core(s), than turning off E-cores or reducing their frequency. A lot of apps & games are saturating at least 1 core in all E-core clusters.

[TheOverclocker @theoverclocker]

@facegamefps I'm talking specifically for the ICs. There's not a single DDR5 Kit I have that can do this frequency at this voltage. So I do think voltage matters, but the only way to find out is to test the memory and see what it can do.

@InternetUser_1 @CORSAIR What necessitates the aggression, especially when you're in the wrong? Do better

Corsair 3200D RS PC Build and review, available from @wootware with @ASUS_za TUF Gaming Z890 Plus WIFI and TUF Gaming GeForce RTX GPU also available at Wootware. https://t.co/2VsKGNUxDe

[TheOverclocker @theoverclocker]

Not sure how one would read the official statement from Palit, then end up with the conclusion that Galax is exiting the PC business.

[Wccftech @wccftech]

GALAX, creators of iconic HOF graphics cards, exits PC business after 30 years; Palit takes over business and all RMA support.

The only Overclocking historian we have, without whom so much of our OC history would be lost to half remembered stories.

[SkatterBencher @skatterbencher]

Finally got around updating my overclocking history web page a bit this weekend.

Still a WIP and slowly starting to migrate things over. But at least I can now list sources and easily attach images for reference.

Free 850W Gold PSU with 5080? 😎 That's awesome

[Wootware @wootware]

Built Quiet 🤫 Powered Strong 💪

Exclusive to Wootware, the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition features the quietest cooler, co-engineered by Noctua. 🔥 Bundled with a free ASUS 850W Gold PSU, while stocks last.

[TheOverclocker @theoverclocker]

Unlocked Core Ultra 3 CPU would be awesome and most welcome. No risk to higher end SKUs as E-Core count really does make a performance difference, even in games.

[VideoCardz.com @VideoCardz]

Intel hints at unlocked budget CPUs, Robert Hallock says more OC SKUs are planned

@harukaze5719 @Zed__Wang 9GB 5060 maybe, but for TI seems odd, maybe 12GB version as opposed to 16GB for cost cutting.
