Do people still overclock?

by eccerr0r

Yeah it's free speed, but do people generally still overclock their computers risking instability, using more power/cooling, etc. or have people simply accepted stock speeds or perhaps it's pretty much impossible to overclock in general because CPUs are already at its limits, or perhaps it's not possible without surgery, ridiculous cooling, or signed firmware hacks nowadays?

Wondering if I should run my 2.67GHz C2Q at 3 or 3.2GHz and risk instability or corruption during the summer months as it's nice and cool now during the winter...

What's the minimum hot air you need to remove vram/core ?

by MasterCap

I bricked a 6700xt last year, and worked on it some. But I either broke some solderballs loose, or cooked the core or vram.

I tried to remove the core, then just a vram chip, and I couldn't do it, with my crappy little 858D hotair station.

So what do people on here use to remove vram, which shouldn't be too hard, or the core ?

What about 2 crappy hotair stations? 1 on 1 side, 1 on the other side ? What about a $75 hotplate from amazon underneath the PCB to help hotair?

What do people on a budget, use on here ? Besides a frying...

Random people pinging your computer...

by eccerr0r

I do have a website but it's not for general use. Definitely not doing any e-commerce, and at most it's just general computer information if it has any value at all.

However I noticed that people are sending ping requests to my computer, constantly. In fact I get around 8000 individual ICMP echo requests a day though each IP sending them send multiple packets.

I set my computer to stop replying to them to see if it would stop. Nope.

What value is there is to sending these if I don't respond to them? Anyone have similar data?

Just curious of what...

What technologies are required for modern motherboards (6thgen - current) to post?

by AJ847.63e

Hi All,

Need a bit of assistance digging up some information on current technology support required for modern motherboards to post? By modern let's say 6th gen skylake to current intel and all of the Ryzen series. You would think this would be on the ARK product page, but nope. Besides saying dedicated graphics required it doesn't really tell you squat.

Reason I ask is I've ran into this a few times now (first on 6th gen SkyLake and now on 12th gen AlderLake) where if I use an intel F SKU CPU multiple different boards refuse to post with multiple different graphics...
