  • I think my favorite overclock was back in the early Conroe days when Intel first released the core m processor. I bought an Asus white book and after assembling everything and doing on a power-on test I immediately powered it off and did a pin modification to force the socket from 100 megahertz front side bus to 133 megahertz front side bus.

    It was such a simple modification that netted me significant performance improvements and voided my warranty in the first 5 minutes.

    When I realized that what I want to do and enjoy in life has nothing to do with my career.

    Work is work an and if you’re lucky maybe you get a job with a good team for good company. Maybe your job is even social positive an the that’s even better but it’s still a job not a calling so perfect it’s purely subjective.



  • Im not sure Intel has any worthwhile CPU’s unless you are getting them used.

    Currently E cores are mostly trash, and not all that “efficient” and letting a P Core turbo up and get the task completed uses less overall power.

    Secondly Intel is lying about its heat output, and power use. Everything from 10th gen up is a power hog if you dont limit the performance to well below “stock” settings.

    This is a good match up between an i5-13500 vs R5 7600, which is the most interesting IMO. The R5 7600 seems to be about $15 less expensive for just the CPU and uses 3/4ths the power which will be a greater savings over time vs Intel. The AMD Motherboards also still seem to trend a bit lower in cost than Intel.

    So overall its a good question. If you can get a use 13500 or one under $150 then its probably worth it, but at retail prices the 7600 will cost less to buy, and less to own while being similar in performance.
