In that case of CPUs though. Certainly on AMD, it is not longer viable to set fixed core frequencies and work out the fastest stable speed you can get. The chips are fully capable of melting themselves in minutes, so hitting it with it's full 4.8Ghz on all cores will very quickly create thermal issues and instability. You end up running them at 4.5Ghz to be stable. Throwing away 300Mhz because your pride won't let you switch to auto overclocking. The AMD overclocker is far more aggressive than I would be doing it manually. If it's idle and you hit it with a single thread, it splits it between the 2 best cores so both stay cool and both go to maximum (stable for that moment) boost clock, which switching all but 1 of the other cores to Standby. That last core takes everything else the PC is doing. Automatic thread balancing and dynamic core affinity at the CPU level. |

To think,not that long ago all you needed to overclock your cpu was a pencil |

The audio in the new board is better :) Actually the audio in the last one was better too. I still have my amp I made back then though. Still working fine. Runs off the 12V solar feed so it's quiet. The new PC audio with headphones current limits at 20mA as is normal. So it destroys bass at volume. Thus I still use my custom headphone, which is theoretically capable of 200mA, though I hardly see it pull more than 40mA. |
