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.


Making sense or not doesn't change the fact that 10 seconds on Google would have showed him that the performance increase is anything but negligible.

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


lol, wasnt there a recent thread where someone thought that was a serious link?

also threading joke

The thread is asking advice about Filco Keyboards and switches... the genius advice?

just get a razer laycosa or arctosa, theyre really good, or you could get blackwidow, they will go pretty well with youre deathadder, filco keyboards look very hard to press, believe me its easier to play on more flat buttons that push freeley!

I have purchased two years ago a licensed version of the Starcraft-BroodWar. Everything was fine until three days ago, when connection to Europe, then USWest and then Asia, failed to start, with no messages returned, but the gateway list window back again. Only working gateway is US East.
I have no problems with my ISP or firewall setings, because one gateway is still working.
Need help, pls.

Your only option is to defeat US-East so you can unlock the other gateways!

This happens once every millenia or so, they randomly select a person they think is noble of spirit and true of heart, they issue a challenge that will take the said person on a long and dangerous adventure that will lead to great personal growth within the protagonist. The protagonist being you!

Good luck my friend...may your unlocking of the sacred gateways be successful...I know it will be tough, but if anyone can do it...it's you...Goku.

I do not really agree with this thread, but nonetheless it scared me quite a few times. I thought I was the composer of some of those comments in the OP lol.

Between the closed forums section and the Tech support you really can find some golden posts

I enjoyed it and hope to see some more posts up there soon

The only reason I hope to be able to add to it is because that means I saw them and had the chance to make sure the person receiving the bad advice knew it was just that...

Funny as it may be, bear in mind, people's PC's are in mortal peril every time someone self-nominates for a place of honor in this thread.

Yeah, wish I'd known HDD's were so fast before I wasted money on an SSD... oh wait, that thing's still slower than my RAM? And how much faster than my HDD?

Hmm, that one seems relatively benign on the bad advice scale of Zero to Electrical fire.

Would be annoying to have it not work, but time consumption > Wasted money.
