Cyber Monday is Over, But Long-Live the Deals

Another Black Friday and Cyber Monday are in the books. But that doesn't mean that you can't still find deals that are just as good or even better than they were the past few days.  For example, just today, we found that the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Core i5 / 16GB / 512GB that was $1,220 on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is now down to $1,091 with coupon. 

Many other key tech products remain the same price that they were on Cyber Monday. For example, our favorite gaming monitor the Dell S3222DGM (32-inches, 1440p and 165 Hz) is still $249 at Best Buy , down from a $399 regular price.  And the SK hynix Platinum P41 SSD, one of the fastest on the market, remains at $181 for 2TB , down from a $259 regular price (though it was as low as $169 at one point on Black Friday week).

Whether it's holiday deals season or not, we track the best sales on PC hardware all year long on our regularly-updated deals hubs. So, if you're looking for savings, check out the following.

Best Cyber Monday SSD Deals You Can Still Get

As we've said elsewhere, the price of SSDs is crashing, making this a fantastic time to buy. So, in the few hours of Cyber Monday there are left, you can still get some incredible deals on 1, 2 or even 4TB SSDs. Here are some of the best below. 

2TB SSDs: The Price / Capacity Sweet Spot

  • SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD: now $181 at Amazon (was $259)
  • WD Black SN850X 2TB PCIe 4. 0 SSD: now $169 at Western Digital (was $249)
  • Solidigm P41 Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD: now $109 at Newegg (was $169) — back ordered

Save on USB, Video Cables You Know You'll Need

(Image credit: Amazon)

Cyber Monday is a great time to stock up on essentials that aren't glamorous but you know that you need. Case in point: you probably need at least one more USB cable (who doesn't?). There are some great savings to be had on USB and video (DisplayPort and HDMI) cables. We've got some examples below.

Charging Cables

  • JSAUX USB-C to USB-C (60W) 3-pack (10-ft, 6. 6-ft, 3.3-ft): now $10 at Amazon (was $16.99): I have bought a number of JSAUX cables over the years and they have all worked really well and been very sturdy. In fact, I bought this very set of cables and use them routinely to charge my laptop and phone. These are an attractive blue color, braided and have a nice rubber bendy part on the connector. Not very fast for data (USB 2.0), but great for charging.
  • JSAUX USB-C to USB-A 2-pack (6.6-ft): now $6 at Amazon (was $10). This is a nice set of red, braided cables that will do fast charging for your phone. 
  • JSAUX USB-C to USB-C (60W) 2-pack (6.6-ft): now $6 at Amazon (was $9). These are also braided and tough but a boring gray color. However, this is a nice deal.
  • JSAUX USB-A to microUSB 3-pack (3.3-ft, 6.6-ft, 10-ft): now $9 at Amazon (was $11). A good set of cables for charging older-style tablets or working with some single-board computer (Raspberry Pi) or microcontroller boards.  

Video Cables

  • JSAUX HDMI 2.1 (10-ft), 2 pack: now $11 at Amazon (was $17). You'll need this for your TV or monitor.
  • Cable Matters DisplayPort 1.4 (6-ft): now $9 at Amazon (was $14). Good for most monitors and GPUs, unless you're running at faster than 4K 144 Hz or 8K 60 Hz.
  • Cable Matters USB-C to DisplayPOrt 1.4 (6-ft): now $15 at Amazon (was $20). You need this if you have a laptop that outputs video over USB-C.
  • UGreen micro HDMI to HDMI (3-ft): now $6 at Amazon (was $10). This is the cable you need if you're trying to plug your Raspberry Pi 4 into a TV or monitor because the Pi 4 only has micro HDMI out.

Crucial P3 4 TB SSD Now $259

(Image credit: Crucial)

• Crucial P3 4 TB SSD: now $259 at Amazon (was $349)

The Crucial P3 SSD comes in a range of capacities including 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB but this offer is for the 4 TB model. Anyone looking to upgrade the storage on their machine should take a close look at this offer at Amazon. All of the drives in this line have an M.2 2280 form factor and use the Phison E21T controller.

(Image credit: Crucial)

We reviewed this drive when it debuted and found it to be fairly mid-range over all but this discount makes it a more noteworthy investment. It has a read/write speed of 3500 / 3000 Mbps. The purchase is supported by Amazon's 30-day return policy as well as a limited 5-year warranty from Micron that voids should the drive reach 800 TBW.

The Best Wireless Mouse is at its Best Prices

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)
  • Logitech MX Master 3: now $69 at Dell (was $99)
  • Logitech MX Master 2S: now $44 at Lenovo (was $67)
  • Logitech MX Master 3S: now $94 at Amazon (was $99)

The Logitech MX Master series of wireless productivity mice is very popular among the Tom's Hardware staff. At least three of our editors use MX Master mice (of various verisons) as their daily drivers at home and / or the office, because these mice just make us more comfortable and productive. 

What we love about the MX Master mice is that they are extremely customizable, they have a special scroll wheel that switches from smooth to ratcheted scrolling at will, they can switch among up to three devices via Bluetooth / 2.4 GHz and they provide flawless navigation around the desktop. They even have a secondary, thumb wheel you can use for horizontal scrolling, zooming in and out of documents or raising and lowering your PC's volume, among other tasks.

Logitech's Logi Options+ software, which works with any of the MX Master mice, is one of the best peripheral apps we've ever used. It allows you to custom configure which each of the mouse's 7 buttons and two scroll wheels does and to have that behavior change depending on which app you're using. For example, I have my MX Master 3S configured to use its side scroller as a zoom control in Photoshop and Chrome, but as a horizontal scroll wheel in Excel.  

Right now, three different models of the MX Master are on sale for Cyber Monday, with prices ranging from $44 to $94. Considering that the MSRP on these mice is $99, these are good deals.

Let's start by talking about the best of the deals, the MX Master 3 is just $69 right now at Dell.com, reduced from $99. That matches the lowest price we've ever seen it selling for. 

The MX Master 3 is nearly identical to its successor, the 3S. Both look identical and have the same exact button layout and feel. The only differences are that the MX Master 3S has different switches that give its buttons a quieter click, that goes up to 8,000 DPI instead of 4,000 DPI and that it comes with a Logi Bolt 2.4-GHz receiver instead of a Logitech unifying receiver dongle (both do the same thing). 

If you really like the quiet clicks or going up to 8,000 DPI (which would make your pointer so fast that only the Flash could navigate with it), the MX Master 3S is on $94 at Amazon, a $5 discount. I have used both the MX Master 3 and 3S and I click the softer click on the 3S but most folks wouldn't care or might even prefer the harder click on the 3.

Finally, the MX Master 2S is going for $44 at Lenovo.com . The MX Master 2S has a similar layout to the others, but its thumb (back and forward) buttons are on top of each other, which can take some getting used to. It also doesn't have as good of a feel in its scroll wheel as the newer models.

Nvidia RTX 2060 is just $179

(Image credit: Asus)
  • Asus GeForce RTX 2060 Dual OC is $179 at Amazon (was $279)

Asus' take on the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, the Dual OC, is $179 on Amazon. This is the lowest we've ever seen an RTX 2060, period. (Note that this price isn't always taking Amazon's top box. If you don't see it, check other sellers!)

The RTX 2060 is still a decent mid-range GPU, performing a few percent ahead of the RTX 3060 in both ray-traced and rasterized games, as long as you don't exceed the VRAM.

Turing's been around since 2018, and the RTX 2060 launched in 2019. This might be the last deal of its kind, and we don't expect it to last too long.

Drop Your Spare NVMe SSD in Asus' Aluminum RGB Enclosure for $36

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)
  • Asus ROG Strix Arion M.2 SSD Enclosure: now $36 at Amazon (was$59)

Of the many enclosures we tested recently for our Best SSD and Hard Drive Enclosures page, Asus' ROG Strix Arion stuck out for a few things, good and bad. On the plus side, its sci-fi-like metal shell looks good and feels quite solid. Plus there's RGB and everyone loves RGB right? Right!?! The main downside was price, but now the once $59 Arion enclosure is on sale for Cyber Monday at Amazon for a more palatable $36 -- 39% off.  

The enclosure supports 2280/2260/2242/2230 M.2 SSD sizes, and getting into it is fairly easy, by poking an included SIM card-like tool (or a bent paperclip or safety pin) through a hole in one end of the drive. If you need a drive to put in the enclosure, be sure to check our Cyber Monday SSD Deals page.

And it supports speeds up to 10 Gbps and includes USB-A and USB-C cables. Just remember this only supports NVMe drives (sorry SATA), and note that we weren't able to control the lighting with Asus' software. So if you want to transfer your files without lights, you'll have to look elsewhere. 

Logitech G Pro League of Legends Gear on Sale

(Image credit: Logitech)
  • Logitech G Pro LoL Mouse: now $49 at GameStop (was $129) 
  • Logitech G Pro LoL Keyboard: now $59 at GameStop (was $129) 
  • Logitech G Pro X LoL Headset: now $59 at GameStop (was $129) 


If you’re a League of Legends fan — or if you can look past the League of Legends branding — GameStop has some excellent deals on Logitech G PRO peripherals right now.

(Image credit: Logitech)


The Logitech G Pro League of Legends wireless gaming mouse is currently just $49, which is a discount of approximately 62% off the listed price of $129. The lowest we’ve seen the regular Logitech G Pro wireless go on sale for is $79 — so this is still 38% cheaper.

The Logitech G Pro is an ultra lightweight wireless mouse that weighs just 2.8 ounces/80g (note that this is not the Logitech G Pro X Superlight mouse, which weighs 2.12 ounces/60g). It features Logitech’s Hero 25K sensor which has a maximum DPI of 25,600, a tracking speed of up to 400 IPS, and up to 40g of acceleration.

Design-wise, it features customizable RGB lighting and has between 4 and 8 programmable buttons: the G Pro has an ambidextrous form factor with two removable buttons on both sides. The mouse is rated for 60 hours of battery life (48 with lighting turned on), and connects via Logitech’s “Lightspeed” low-latency 2.4GHz wireless technology.

(Image credit: Logitech)


The Logitech G Pro League of Legends wired mechanical gaming keyboard is also on sale for just $59 right now — 54% off of its listed price of $129. This TKL keyboard is the same slate blue as the League of Legends mouse, with gold detailing and “League of Legends” stamped across the top.

The regular G Pro keyboard is currently on sale at Amazon for $84, which is still a decent discount of 35% off the listed price. The lowest we’ve seen the regular version go recently is $78, so the League of Legends edition is still 24% cheaper.

The G Pro League of Legends wired mechanical gaming keyboard comes with Logitech GX Brown (tactile) switches and features a detachable micro USB cable for convenience. It has RGB backlighting and 12 programmable F-keys, which can be programmed using Logitech’s G HUB software.

(Image credit: Logitech)


The Logitech G Pro X League of Legends gaming headset is on sale for $59, which is 54% off its listed price of $129. This is the lowest price it’s been, but it’s not the only time it’s been this low — we did see the regular G Pro X headset on sale for the same price a few days ago at Amazon.

The G Pro X gaming headset is a wired gaming headset with Logitech’s Pro-G 50mm drivers. It comes with two sets of ear pads (leatherette and velour), a detachable microphone featuring Blue Vo!ce technology, and an external USB DAC (sound card) for excellent audio no matter what you’re plugged into. It also comes with PC and phone cables, a PC Y-splitter, and a carrying case. It’s a great headset at this price, but it’s not quite as enticing of a deal as the mouse or keyboard.

This Refurbished Chromebook is Only $59

(Image credit: Samsung)
  • Samsung Chromebook 4: now $59 at Walmart (was $119)


Not everyone needs a gaming PC — some people just need... any PC. This restored (refurbished) Samsung Chromebook 4 (model XE310XBA-K01US) is currently on sale for just $59 at Walmart. That's right, $59. You can grab an entire computer (well, a Chromebook) for less than a new AAA video game.

It's not the best Chromebook on the market, obviously — the Chromebook 4 was first introduced in 2019, after all, and this is also a refurb — but it is definitely the cheapest. 

(Image credit: Samsung)


The Chromebook 4 features an 11.6-inch HD LED display (1366 x 768), an Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and a 32GB SSD. It runs Chrome OS and has Gigabit Wi-Fi, built-in stereo speakers, a USB-C port, and a combo headphone/mic jack. It weighs 2.6 pounds and boasts up to 12.5 hours of battery life.

Again, this is a refurbished unit, so keep your expectations low. However, Walmart does back "restored" items with a 90-day extended return policy, so you do have three months to decide if it's worth the $59.

Are we scraping the bottom of the deals barrel? Absolutely. But at least it's cheap down here!

Sceptre 27-Inch IPS QHD Monitor Drops to New Low Price of Just $149

(Image credit: Sceptre)

• Sceptre 27-Inch IPS QHD Monitor: now $149 at Amazon (was $259)

This is one of the best prices we've come across on a 27-inch IPS—let alone with such a dense resolution. It can reach refresh rates as high as 165Hz and has a QHD resolution that measures up to 2560 x 1440px.

It's AMD FreeSync Premium certified and has a selection of ports to use for video input including two HDMI ports and two DisplayPort inputs. It's optimal for gaming or casual use with a response time that can get as low as 1 ms.

Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro 55% Off

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)
  • Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro: now $57 at Amazon (was $129) 
  • Razer DeathAdder V2: now $31 at Amazon (was $69) 


A good mouse doesn’t necessarily need tons of buttons or flashy LEDs — Razer’s DeathAdder V2 Pro is one of the best mice we’ve tested and it’s on sale right now for just $57, which is 55% off of its list price of $129.

This wireless gaming mouse features a simple, ergonomic design, a low-latency 2. 4GHz wireless connection, and rock-solid performance. It has 8 programmable buttons which can be configured using Razer Synapse 3, and three connectivity options (2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired). It features Razer’s Focus+ optical sensor, which has a 99.6% resolution accuracy at 650 IPS (inches per second) and can handle up to 50g acceleration.

If you don’t need a wireless mouse, you can also pick up the Razer DeathAdder V2 for just $31 this Cyber Monday — 55% off its list price of $69.

The DeathAdder V2 has the same simple, ergonomic design, 8 programmable buttons, and Focus+ sensor as the V2 Pro. It’s wired, with a 7-foot braided “Speedflex” cable that helps it glide effortlessly over your desk. It also has customizable RGB LED lighting, textured side panels, and, of course, comes with a Razer Synapse 3 popup every time you plug it into a new machine.

SK hynix Platinum P41 2 TB SSD is $169 at Amazon

(Image credit: Future)
  • SK hynix Platinum P41 2 TB SSD: now $169 at Amazon (was $259)

One of the fastest SSDs you can buy is now at an all-time low price. The SK hynix Platinum P41 boasts sequential read and write speeds of 7,000 and 6,500 MBps, along with 1.4 and 1.3 million IOPS. Normally selling for $259, the 2TB capacity is now just $169 at Amazon , an all-time low price for Cyber Monday.

Up until very recently, the Platinum P41 sat at the top of our list of best SSDs, because it was the fastest drive we had ever tested. While Samsung's 990 Pro has now claimed the top spot by showing slightly better numbers, that drive is a lot more expensive.

We reviewed the SK hynix Platinum P41 when it launched this past summer and we gave it 4.5 stars and an Editor's Choice award because of its class-leading performance, strong showing in sustained workloads and amazing power efficiency. As you can see in the chart below, the Platinum P41 beat all of its competitors handily on 3DMark's SSD performance test for gamers, finishing 7.9 percent above the second-place Kingston KC3000.

(Image credit: Future)

The SK hynix Platinum P41 is also among the most power efficient PCIe 4.0 drives we've tested, posting a rate of performance-per-watt that exceeds even the PCIe 3.0 SK hynix Gold P31. 

(Image credit: Future)

The Sk hynix Platinum P41 is not only a great choice for your desktop, but it is power efficient enough for a laptop upgrade. The $169 price for 2TB is really hard to beat, given what you get.

Great Time to Starting 3D Printing: Our Favorites Start at $189

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)
  • Anycubic Kobra Go: now $189 at Anycubic or $199 at Amazon (was $269)
  • Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro: now $369 at Amazon (was $499)

If you haven't already started 3D printing, Cyber Monday presents a great opportunity for you to claim aboard the maker train for cheap. Several of the models that make up our list of the Best 3D printers are on huge sales.

If you're looking to make an inexpensive start, the Anycubic Kobra Go is an excellent choice. This open-frame printer outputs excellent quality prints in PLA or PETG filaments and it has auto bed leveling so you can keep your prints level without tightening and loosening screws. Normally selling for well above $200, the Kobra Go is now $189 at Anycubic / $189 from Amazon.

Amazingly, when we reviewed the Anycubic Kobra Go, we were able to print this stretchy replica of DaveMoneySign’s Taco Bell Bag    in flexible TPU filament. That's a rarity, even on more expensive models. 

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

However, we wouldn't expect to use TPU a lot on a printer that doesn't have a direct drive feed system which the Kobra Go does not). If you're got a larger budget, we recommend getting our favorite 3D printer overall, which is the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro. Normally $499, you can get the S1 Pro at Amazon for just $369 today.

When we reviewed the Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro earlier this year, we complimented its great user interface, awesome print output, auto bed leveling and streaming-hot direct drive feeding system. 

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware)

The hotend on this printer can go all the way up to 300 degrees celsius which makes it ideal for filaments like TPU. It also comes with a PEI coated, flexible build plate that makes removing prints a breeze.

Repeal The Windows Tax: Get Windows 10 Pro for $18

(Image credit: Photo by Johny vino on Unsplash)
  • Windows 10 Pro OEM Key: now $18 at Kinguin with coupon code KINGWIN16 ($179 from Microsoft)
  • Windows 10 Pro OEM Key with online activation: now $28 at Kinguin with coupon code KINGWIN16 ($179 from Microsoft)
  • Windows 10 Home OEM Key: now $19 at Kinguin with coupon code KINGWIN16 ($129 from Microsoft)
  • Windows 10 Home OEM Online Activation Key: now $22 at Kinguin with coupon code KINGWIN16 ($129 from Microsoft)
  • Windows 11 Pro OEM Key: now $32 at Kinguin with coupon code KINGWIN16 ($199 from Microsoft)

If you're building your own PC, Microsoft would you to pay it at least $129 for Windows. Nevermind that you might only be spending $500 on one of the best PC builds, the Redmond software giant wants to collect a Windows tax in the form of a massively overpriced Windows license, where Windows 10 or 11 Home cost $129 and Windows Pro costs $199.

The Windows licensing situation is profoundly unfair, because we know that OEMs such as Dell, Lenovo and HP don't pay anything close to $129 when they install Windows on the prebuilt laptops and desktops they sell. The exact amount OEMs pay for licenses is a tightly-guarded secret but it could be only a few dollars a unit. 

So what's a PC builder to do? As we explain in our article on how to get Windows 10 or 11 for free or cheap, you have a few options. If you can move a license you already have to your PC (see how to transfer a Windows license), that's free (but OEM licenses that come on a prebuilt can't be transferred) . Or you could just choose not to enter a product key and have some an ugly watermark on your PC saying that Windows isn't activated.

Another option: buy an OEM key from a key reseller such as Kinguin . These marketplaces have grey market sellers who probably bought the keys from an OEM that paid very little for them and will pass on the savings to you. Today, because of Black Friday / Cyber Monday, Kinguin has a Windows 10 Pro OEM key for as little as $18  , Windows 10 Home for $19 or a Windows 11 Pro OEM key for $32 all with the code KINGWIN16.

While buying a Windows license from a third-party marketplace may seem shady, it is legal and it works. We've used Kinguin a number of times successfully. We do, however, recommend paying a few dollars extra for a key that offers online activation (see list of links above).  If you use one that doesn't provide online activation, you may have to call Microsoft's phone activation line, wait on hold and deal with a person to activate the OS.

We also recommend buying a Windows key over a Windows 11 one, because Windows 10 keys are cheaper and you can just upgrade the OS for free to Windows 11 after installing.  

Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 Falls to Just $699

(Image credit: Best Buy)
  • Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 Now $699 at Best Buy (was $1,150)

Although we haven't yet tested the Galaxy Book2 360 convertible laptop from Samsung, Best Buy is currently running a compelling deal as Black Friday winds down and Cyber Monday takes over. This particular Galaxy Book2 360 carries an MSRP of $1,149 but is now on sale for just $699.99 ($450 off).

That $699 price gets you a 12th-generation Core i7-1255U processor, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. Since this laptop is more geared toward productivity, you will find discrete graphics. Instead, the Galaxy Book2 360 uses the integrated Iris Xe graphics engine.

The display measures 13.3 inches and features a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. Even more remarkable at this price point is that the Galaxy Book2 360 features one of Samsung's excellent AMOLED panels instead of the usual IPS panel we find at this price point. As a result, you should expect to see excellent color saturation and inky black with this display. 

The Galaxy Book2 360 weighs just 2.62 pounds, and its battery lasts up to 18 hours, according to Samsung. Finally, the laptop comes from the factory with a 1-year warranty.

Analog i9 9900k for $220

Good day, friends! Today I would like to introduce you to another miracle of the Chinese engineering genius - meet, today in the "mutant processor" studio, an engineering revision of the i9 laptopconverted for LGA1151 socket (v1 and partially v2).
You could already get acquainted with similar processors in the reviews of comrade NightPrizrak in his reviews on exemplary analogues of the i7 8700T - QNCT and 8700 with 8700K - QTJ2 and QQLT. I would like to express my gratitude to this comrade for covering this topic, as well as for the fact that at some points, in order not to repeat myself, I will refer to his articles)

Theoretical part

What, in fact, are these "mutants" - these are Intel processors for laptops, the FCBGA1440 socket, on which our Chinese friends kindly installed an adapter plate for the LGA 1151 socket
Vendor chipset and vendor compatibility chart
The bulk of the "mutants" are not release models, but engineering versions. Therefore, in the task manager, CPU-Z and the like, we will always be met by Intel Genuine Intel 0000 family , we are getting used to it.
Despite the fact that these are engineering revisions of laptop processors - they are based on all the same crystals as desktop "stones", QTJ1, for example, is based on a R0 stepping chip (later i99900K), his older brother QQLS and also QQLT are on P0 crystals (the first i9 9900K), QNCT on U0 (i7 8700K) - I think the principle is clear.
As with all laptop processors, they do not have a heat-distributing cover, which makes heat dissipation somewhat more difficult, especially when overclocking
For installation, you need to remove the native socket cover and, after installing the processor, put the pressure plate complete with it on the screws that come with it (by the way, it’s better not to lose them - it will be extremely problematic to purchase the same ones in the Russian Federation, although there is one life hack - the screws fit from AMD motherboard backplate) .
All "mutants" have a working built-in video core , sleep works correctly and, in general, they are in no way inferior to their desktop counterparts in terms of functionality.
To run , a modified BIOS firmware is required. You can take it directly from the seller on AliExpress or make it yourself according to the instructions from overclockers or numerous guides on YouTube.

Test bench

* Motherboard - ASUS MAXIMUS VIII IMPACT (Z170 chipset)
* RAM - Crucial OEM "green" 2666MHz on J-Die
chips * Cooling system - Deepcool Maelstrom 240T LSS (with optional fan kit)
* Drive - SSD Kingston A400 120GB
* Power supply - Power Expert 850W (don't beat me, I was too lazy to get my Seasonic SSP-650RT out of my home PC)

Photo of the test bench

Assembly and test modes

First, install the processor and flash a modified version of the BIOS - I did it myself for my board, but you can always ask the seller for the BIOS, he makes them without any problems and sends them. For firmware, I use the classic Ch441A programmer and the Colibri program. In addition to modifying the BIOS, I also slightly modified the cooling system - I added an additional pair of fans to the radiator, and also polished the base for better contact with the crystal, also removed the restrictive plastic spacers in order to more tightly attract the CO to the crystal, and of course, used liquid metal instead of thermal paste.

Cooling system

in addition to the crystal, liquid metal must also be applied directly to the radiator CO
ATTENTION - do not use liquid metal in contact with aluminum - this will lead to the destruction of CO

We evenly attract CO at all four attachment points and launch. Tips for installing a processor on a board can be found in the reviews of other mutants from a friend NightPrizrak.

We will test in overclocking (otherwise, why else do we need an unlocked multiplier), despite the fact that we managed to take 5. 3GHz in the maximum mode, our stop will be 5.0GHz - as a result that every user can achieve and which does not require motherboards for 200 -300 dollars and the use of extreme voltages

Tests

In this review, we will pay attention directly to the processor - its heat dissipation, the necessary cooling systems, and the choice of motherboard. We will test in Cinebench R15, R20, CPU-Z, AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark. Later I will try to post gaming tests with the RTX 3070 on my YouTube channel.0207

Examples of cooling systems

Bad option Good option

1) For stock use, a medium tower cooler with indirect contact is suitable, thermal paste can be used.
Heat dissipation in this case will be about 100 watts.
2) For overclocking to 4.9-5.0GHz, you should take care of a cooling system like Deepcool Lucifer v2, Noctua NH-U12A, BeQuiet! Pure Rock 2 Black and the like. I highly recommend using liquid metal or at least thermal paste of at least MX-4 level.
In this case, you will need to divert about 150 watts.
3) For extreme overclocking to 5.2-5.3GHz, you should use a top-level SO - Noctua NH-D15, Be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, LSS for at least 2 sections and the use of liquid metal is mandatory.
Consumption in extreme overclocking mode will be a brutal 250 watts + (however, you should not blame your friends from China or laptop processors for this - this is the problem of the eternal 14nm +++ Intel).

Motherboard selection

I’ll make this a separate item, because I often come across the opinion that since the processor is a laptop with the declared TPD 45W level, you shouldn’t worry about the motherboard, the cheapest one will do. Of course it is not.

Questions from the product page on AliExpress

Don't do it, cheap boards are not a good choice for 8\16 intel

For this processor, as well as for QQLS, I strongly recommend using boards based on the Z chipset with decent VRM heatsinks - you should understand that the budget Z170 and Z270 boards were designed "back to back" for 4 cores and hang 8 cores on them, and even more so overclock - not the best idea. A good choice would be mid-range boards based on the Z370 chipset - ASRock Extreme4, MSI Tomahawk, Asus Strix F Gaming and the like

R15

In this benchmark, QTJ1 simply has no competitors, we get a colossal, almost two-fold lead from the first place listed by the developers

Test results

R20

The R20, in turn, already has much heavier competitors, and yet the result is still excellent - 45% faster than the Ryzen 1700X and only 25% slower than the 16-core monster Ryzen Threadripper 1950X - an excellent result for a laptop kid, not is it true?

Test results

CPU-Z

In the built-in CPU-Z benchmark at 5GHz, this processor knocks out 580 points in single-core mode and a huge 6000 points in multi-threaded mode, easily beating the i7 10700

Test results

AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark

In this paragraph, we will add a similar bench on QL2X (i7 7700K ES) to compare memory controllers as well as cache speeds between 4 and 8 cores.

Test results


Overclock RAM

Why did I give this a separate chapter? Quite simply, it greatly improves performance, especially in gaming applications and applications that use one or two cores. Let's go from the theoretical side - the processor is engaged in the fact that it solves various problems and processes information. In order to process the information, it must receive it, then fast RAM comes into play, if the data flow is insufficient, the processor will have the so-called "information starvation", while if you watch the CPU load by monitoring, you will see an alleged focus on the processor, in fact, this is due to the fact that waiting for data before executing a command is recorded as CPU load by monitoring, because of this there is a somewhat funny situation when, after overclocking the RAM, performance increases and at the same time, CPU load on monitoring becomes lower.
A detailed guide on overclocking RAM is in the article in my group on VKontakte.
