Well, if you want, any time I see something worth updating this for, I'll PM you the post number too, so you can see if it's worthy.

That stamp is awesome.

Wait, can someone link a post with this please? I don't frequent the tech support for the very reasons outlined in this thread...

Pretty much. That's why I thought some mockery for the people who make the internet a little less safe for the tech-savvy might be a good idea. If enough people see this, maybe they'll start fact-checking themselves first... or am I dreaming again?

He was saying you shouldn't worry about CPU temps, that your CPU is guaranteed to be unstable before reaching dangerous temps.

There should be a special icon for TL Tech Support gurus. That way, we know that they aren't pulling shit from their bag of jargon.

Yeah I mean I get that it's kind of extreme to say that temps don't matter at all, but really, modern CPUs will most likely shut off if they reach unsafe temps, and the temp readings that the vast majority of people use are very inaccurate anyway.

So yeah, I would say stability is far more important than temperature is.

The issue is more generalizing it the way he did, to a novice, on a non-enthusiast forum.

TL Tech Support isn't Hard OCP. People who know OCing know what he meant. People who don't that take him the wrong way could fry a rather expensive chunk of brand new silicon.

A novice could easily raise voltages too much, be stable, but get temps up high enough to start causing problems.

OP Edited with links. R1CH's content search is amazing, was able to re-find all those fast as hell.

As funny as it was, the old classic about downloading RAM was kind of a legitimate question and definitely not a response like those covered in this thread.

I've seen some of the strangest descriptions about what hyper-threading is on Intel CPUs that support it, but it's somehow a common mistake.

e.g. this, but I already responded to the below so no need to harp on it too much:
The i3-2100 has hyperthreading, so it technically utilizes 4 cores, but its not as good as a true 4 core like an i5

I didn't find any of these funny, they were just sad and aggravating ): Kudos to you for having the patience to sift through these, I think even my own advice may find its way to this topic.

They have multiple effects. First, I do a double take, and try to hope they're trolling. Then I facepalm. Then I type out what I want to say back. Then I delete that, and respond with something that won't get me banned. That's usually followed with an email to my wife and dad, both of whom work in IT, so they can get a giggle. My giggling runs simultaneous with the emailing.

Why overclock an i5? The performance increase will be negligible. It's not the computations that slow you down its things like cache misses, which will load from your 1333MHz memory.


On second thought, this kind of intuitively doesn't seem that wrong. It's just that the reality is that for most tasks, there are apparently many cache hits, proper out-of-order execution and branch prediction, and so on, so the limiting factor generally is the computations rather than the memory access speeds.

If it weren't for those clever tricks in the CPU, we probably would all be wanting that 2000 MHz RAM or whatever, complete with RAM coolers and the whole deal.
