PC Upgrading

Lower clocks or increase voltage. You have an unstable overclock. Return to stock and see how that works.

My cpu is not so great right now... my whole system nearly crashed last night, I thought my 7 year old hdd quit.. nope I was in a cpu loop due to a ram short curciting after simply plugging the computer in a different place and not changing anything else. I had to reseat the ram and my bios failed so I has to flash with cmos, than my intel HD graphics exploded and displays out of range or with hundreds of artifact in horizontal red lines across my bios screen.

Now in the os my system often crashes beam and I even had it BlueScreen when testing t

I returned it to a stable 4.3Ghz... I just decided after I got the bios working back when the computer fucked up I'd try 4.4ghz.. suffice to say 4.3 is where I stay.

What drugs are you smoking. You should change dealers.

Windows can't mimic HyperThreading to double the threads on the CPU...

Also why replace the CPU when everything needs replacing, why replace everything when you can just upgrade?

 

windows does the hyperthreading, but its not hyperthreading, it assigns processes to different cores, i just worded it wrong, 8threads merge into 4 cores, clocked similarly the I7 doesnt really have much of an advantage really, unless you are using heavily threaded applications where the I7 will edge out the I5, the difference is the threads and the clockspeed, hyperthreading really doesnt make much of a difference

 

The level of incorrectness in this post is just hilarious.

i5s dont have hyperthreading. i7s do. Clocked similarly, you get 8 hardware threads on an i7 and 4 on an i5. Basic math that for me.

 

i5s totally hyperthread. just read the box again and squint reeeeal hard. and if your i5 did not come with it, windows does it automatically. trust me im a "doctor".

 

my post on hyperthreading is indeed incorrect, so i shall correct it,
the clockspeed is not linked to hyperthreading capability at all
In single threaded applications a similarly clocked I5 will be on par with a similarly clocked I7
In multi threaded applications an I7 may beat an I5 due to it having a thread advantage
I was trying to say that the difference between an I5 and I7 is that the base and turbo clock speed is different and the I7 has hyperthreading capability
unless the technology has changed from pentuim 4s i believe i am right in saying that in single threads there isnt a difference, will have to check though
In short: I5 is better for gaming/beamng (single core performance per dollar or whatever)
I7 is better for threaded tasks, (video editing etc.)
but i dont find a performance increase so i never bother with HT

 

Which isnt what you said at all earlier...

 

its what i meant to put, anyway back on topic, I5 for performance per dollar in single core performance I7 for multithreaded applications

 

I need the muti-thread performance.. again I'm not an average gamer. I do video recording which hyper-threading is wonderful for, I also do things with video editing obviously and blender during muti-tasking... which I also do pretty heavily.

I also run skype 100% of the time, used to run puush until I found out it cuts into cpu usage a great deal beyond necessity, now I use Gyazo. I also use Xsplit 66% of the time... often have 10tabs open in google, which I do close often when playing games, even though it seemingly does nothing.

 

Some people never learn do they..

 

My first question: What sort of "doctor" are you? A medical doctor?
Second: Give me the Intel Ark link to a Core i5 CPU that has hyperthreading. (This is Ark)
Third: Go try and find a legitimate source that says that Windows hyperthreads CPU.

 

im not a doctor im a "doctor". the quotes legally exonerate me from any liability from claiming to be a doctor. for the i5. you need to find the secret button in your bios that reads "enable secret hyperthreading". be very careful because its next to the other secret button that allows your computer to go thru walls. not good. the windows auto hyperthreading bit was a joke at something another user said.

 

Based of what you've said earlier, you're just an idiot.

 

this is true. your point?

 

If you aren't gonna stay on topic I may as well just close up this thread, it's getting stupid.

So last night I installed as fresh a Win7 64Bit HomePremium SP1 as possible.
After I installed my network driver and everything my PC runs much smoother since my OS Driver has about 120-200gb used out of 910gb instead of around 800gb.

It makes beamng less stutter and sometimes runs smoother overall, there are far fewer instability and I did leave all my important files on my 4TB which I unhooked during the installation. so nothing but one game I wish I backed up was lost.
