Maybe it could be stabilized with better voltage adjustment but I won’t bother with it now. Ugh, you must’ve gotten a dud. An OC would’ve helped tremendously, and you really shouldn’t have needed to touch the voltage. I got basically nothing going from an OCed i7 3770k w/DDR3 to an OCed i9 5960x w/DDR4. Since you’re stuck running at stock speeds you’ll definitely get a nice boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I didn’t actually buy this cpu new or anything, first thing I do usually is overclock the cpu so I would have noticed, but this is just my dads old cpu I’ve been using with the 3080 until I get all this fun stuff.

In that case, you sure it’s a K and not the non-K which can’t OC without crashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda? lol Ive never seen the box or anything but that’s what it shows in bios and windows. Could be a bad core that normally doesn’t get used too much and the whole thing shuts down when I try to lock speed. It was good enough to get me through the holidays tho!

I know it’s totally irrelevant and has zero meaning, but it’s just bugging me that it’s a dud for OCing since that’s rare with Intel CPUs (but does happen) Anyway, the 10850 should easily hit 5.2ghz base clocks on an OC so you’ll see a nice boost in framerate and frame pacing. I just built my dad a new PC for Christmas with an i3-10100 and a b460 mobo. I ran a couple of CPU benchmarks and stock vs stock it was impressive to see that it was neck and neck with top-end CPUs from just a couple years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, cpu-z shows a 4790k, idk lol. I should also mention the computer won’t even power on unless I press the cmos button on the motherboard and then I get a cmos mismatch and have to press a button on the keyboard to continue (and then go to bios to get my ram timings what I want because it resets). So yeah something is wrong but it was good enough to play through a few games and it won’t matter in a couple weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OC) Duds do happen, it’s just not overly common on Intel CPUs made in the past 12 or so years. @stepee got the short-end of the stick with his *it could also be due to a bad or poorly designed motherboard EDIT: after reading the above post, it’s probably a bad/dying motherboard that’s the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way I would find an amd cpu in stock that would be better for the $400 I paid right now. If I hadn’t already worn my patience with finding the 3080 then maybe I would have paid extra and tried to get the 5900x for the extra cores + pcie4 but there is no way I was going to deal with that. The 10850 was the right price, available, and the reviews/benches put it high up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Well, I woke up to a nice surprise today. If Best Buy doesn’t fuck it up, I’ll have a Founders Edition 3080 this weekend. Apparently they had a big drop today and my husband ordered one for me. Got himself a 3070, because by the time he got my order, 3080s were out of stock. We’re visiting my parents this weekend, so I won’t be able to pick it up when it arrives Saturday, but I’m gonna try to get back early enough to get it on Sunday.

I would expect the rest of the companies to follow suit on MSRP hikes soon as well. I think it is like a 25% tariff on graphics cards from China done during one of Trump's trade war escalations.

You can justify it too saying you need both at the same time, without the cpu you probably won’t be able to take as much advantage of the 120hz screen, without the 120hz screen you can’t take full advantage of cpu!

Pending that, I’d wait for DDR5 to upgrade the CPU: should be coming with the next Intel chipset this year (AMD will probably follow-suit shortly thereafter). Otherwise, AMD would be the way to go since they currently have PCIE 4.0 and Intel is on 3.0 until their next chipset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was going to try to get one soon but now a used card seems like a better option.
