Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.
Bought a used, open box without original box ROG Z690 Maximus and ordered a 12100 just for a boot test. Plan is (was?) to return it after checking that all’s well with the motherboard and keep an eye for sales in i7s and i9s this season, just happened to glance at the Silicon Prediction (SP) score and it says 148! Wtf? I believe the average for the 13900k is like 99 with the best being around 115. Does this mean anything in the context of an i3 or is it sort of meaningless?
