So decided to sell my VR PC since I mostly game on my main rig, figured lets try a tiny 5.8L case, well didn't mean for it to be soo good but it games great!, Does get toasty, CPU sits around 75 deg while gaming and GPU sits around 80. Its running a ASUS Rog Strix Z690-i with a i5 12600kf, 6000 ddr5 cl30, RTX 4060.
This build really does show me my main rig is in need of a new CPU, even this 12600kf that I have locked down to 120watt TDP still manages a 15890 in Cinebench. My Main rig i9 10980xe is… See More
23556, crazy that the i5 12600kf, if it was fully unlocked and overclocked, could hit 20,000, for $200 cpu...wow.
My old VR pc with the 1080ti and i7 6950x in Helldivers managed 50 fps in my ship and would drop to 20 sometimes on some planets, this little pc it can managed almost 70 fps average, such a huge difference.

Anyone else getting horrible performance on older machines, I hate to say mines an old machine but its a i9 10980xe from 2019, and without the e-core p-core, or 3d cache, I'm finding games that use to run fine are barely holding on. This issue hasn't been a problem since 2016 when the 1080ti was launched, I remember my 1 year old 980ti not able to run anything, but now its the CPU. I ran the intel presentmod that jay recommended in his recent video and yup "CPU busy" was at 40ms and my 3090ti was… See More
at 9ms, CPU was at 87% usage, GPU was at 60%. Of course I understand my CPU is legit 6 years old at this point, but I CAN NOT accept that games that ran at 60 fps ultra LOCKED are now running poorly, 48-55fps. I can accept new games not running well but this has me so upset that I have a system that is my dream build, custom water-cooled and now I'm screwed into upgrading which means I'll have to spend more on an upgrade since I need a new water-block. But now I'm really cautious, I know 13,14 gen had there issues, 12 gen is cheap atm but what if they do the same thing with the new core ultra CPU's without the hyperthreading and games will eventually run horrible on 12-14 gen CPU's... Looking back at the generational improvements, the i7 4790k, i7 6700k, i7 7700k, i7 8700k, i9 9900k, i9 10900k, i9 11900k, all had a small 5-11% increase, then 12 gen was almost 40% 13 gen was 30% above that, and 14 gen was 30% above that.... This just has me so crushed and defeated.... The ONE time I can truly say, I wish I just waited one more year to do my final platform upgrade.... Also I'll always miss the really cool 8 channel memory, just made my system look so cool.....

Well, this sucks, its almost depressing now every time i turn my PC on, I noticed my leds on the ek blocks were slowly dying, first a few leds were stuck one color, then half the strip would die, now both my GPU block and my res/pump rgb is dead, I already put a support ticket in early this year about the CPU blocks rgb dying after a few weeks, and now this....and a side note, I wont be able to get mystic fog coolant again cause A price and B its sold out atm.... what a shame
