I haven’t planned to use iGPU since I have one of 580s since last Christmas. oh man, tough times. Yesterday i fully believed i will get 12th gen. This morning- not so much.

According to benchmark numbers, it seems its probably better to run hyperthreading and P+E cores. I wonder how that translates to a real world application like photoshop which doesn't benefit from more cores but loves the speed and ability of one core (and how to prevent photoshop to use E core...

Tomorrow is my last day to return 10th gen for 12th...at the difference of +100CAD. Seems that @CaseySJ made a good progress with this combo. Anyone to advise against an imminent upgrade to 12th gen ? @CaseySJ please chip in if you can.

^ Thanks…i have started reading it last week. That is one giant of a thread.

there are only 2 z490 mobos in golden builds, and they aren't my aorus master. oh well.

^ I think if you are anywhere close to 50% of use between PC/Mac you should think hard to not go 12th gen. If you are going to be on mac considerably more and expect around 4-5 macOS updates than - get the 10the generation. In my case the combo above was $999 and I can get i9-12900k ($740) and...

Small update: I returned that i5 and picked up i9 + mobo. total price for combo is 1050 CAD. $500 a piece. still not sure if i will change my mind once more…it seems progress is being made on 690 platform. Will reconsider in 2 weeks again.

Today is my 2 weeks time I can return last i5 10th gen in stock I bought when I posted this thread. I still feel 10th gen is way to go - but there are no more boards - and boards left are shooting up in price. I do have a discreete AMD I paid $200 used last winter so that should do the trick...

I see our local retailer run out of pretty much all but one i5 Intel's 10th Generation CPUs. No i7s, no i9s. That made me think it might be worth of risk getting Adler lake and try my luck ? Especially reading this thread. I still run my i7-920 first gen and the system is rock solid. Had...

Decisions, decisions, decisions....if you were to buy last i9-9900k tomorrow or 10700k what would you do ?

Thanks for the recommendation. I do have quite of few machines and i want to go to oone and max 2 fro current 4-5. the windows partition does not see HFS as far as i know. Also, my files live on BSD Freenas file server. im currently working on movine my home partition/disk from yosemite macine...

Any success at all ? I am just to about to decide to try the same thing.

My main PC is still running Yosemite. I have GTX-285 in it. Kids want to play Fortnite (dual boot with Win10) and game is not supporting DX10 anymore. Since this Yosemite is my main production machine - would it be smart to tinker and try to replace it with spare XFX 7850 2Gb ? I am also...

I am spending a little bit more of time with this problem. My current situation: 1. With original patch the mobs goes to that crazy hiccup state when put in sleep. 2. If I disable original patch and then fix permissions the mobs goes to sleep nicely and it also wakes up nicely but after...

I am on 10.13.6. First time using Clover (used Yosemite since it came out on my other hackintosh). I just booted into it again and started disk utility (not sure if I should have booted through USB for this and run disk utility through there) and run first aid. If this is not right let me know...
