win 10 will be fine for a good few years yet so i dont get why people are worried by the time you actually need win 11 if at all you will of upgraded anyway.

Funny, I read so many discussions from people on the good/bad/good/bad Windows release cycle and they list Windows 8 under the bad. Yet they're listing 11 under the bad already. I think back to 8/8.1 and I never really saw anything bad about it. It was the taskbar/lack of start button and start menu so many got hung up with listing it as bad. All it was, was different. It was still a solid OS.

I remember the freak outs even here when they couldn't press start. It's on your keyboard. All it was, was a different way. Nothing complex. Complex enough for some to press the Win key on their keyboard with their thumb though.

And Win11 likely brings enough new bugs to take year to correct them...

You'd think by now Microsoft would have had that down to a fine art. Imagine every release was solid on launch day.

They are making art of in which ways they can screw up and have sheepless hail latest screw up/bad idea as second coming of Jesus.

Has anyone managed to get W11 to install on a 5820k?

Tried the registry key thing, which worked to get it installed on my Surface Laptop 1 (without TPM 2.0)....but on my 5820k it just moans about TPM and refuses....

Finally got round to trying a clean install. Works fine. Start setup, press shift+F10 to open console and run regedit, add the BypassTPMCheck and BypassRAMCheck DWORDs to HKLM/SYSTEM/Setup/LabConfig and set both to 1. Continue install.

Running W11 on unsupported hardware won't make that turd of a CPU (by 2022 standards) any faster though

RevBillyG · 11 Jan 2022 at 12:04

It's actually still a fine CPU. I've only just retired mine for a 12700. Not because I had to but because I wanted to.

Exactly the same here, literally just ordered a 12700k build moving on from a 5820k @ 4.6ghz.

Still works absolutely fine but I'd like a higher minimum FPS as I game on a high hz 1080p monitor.

Win 8.1 offered pretty decent performance.

The 5820k @ 4.2 has been running things just fine, Alder Lake 12600/12700 are definitely the first new CPUs that have actually got me thinking about an upgrade. Now I've got win11 running, I think it'll do me for another year.

RevBillyG · 12 Jan 2022 at 13:26

Mine was at 4.5ghz, handled everything fine.
Gotta say tho, if my framerate dips to the 70s from 110+ I used to notice it with the 5820k (this is in Battlefield 1 with an RTX2070super @1080p). With the 12700 I don't notice it at all. Just seems smoother.

I miss my 5820k, ran like an absolute dream - sure my Ryzen runs faster but the 5820k was incredibly stable and booted into Windows in half the time of my current set up.

Still considering an upgrade from 5820k myself.
Unsure if Ryzen 5600x /i7 12400F is enough or to go 12700 etc.

12700, 5800xt and up or not worth the upgrade. 5600xt and 12400F are not a good enough upgrade for the money coming from a 5820k.

A 5820k is still a good cpu, I use to own a 5930k before updating to 5950x and in some places a huge update and others well not noticed unless I use apps that are heavy on the cpu. If you are updating for gaming only and do the odd application that can use the cpu power then a intel 12700 or 5800xt or wait for the 5800XT- with 3D vcache.

Yeh the more I explore, the more I think waiting is the best option.

Just starting to itch for an upgrade but I know I should hold out.

~>Dg<~ · 15 Jan 2022 at 17:42

still a great cpu.

Plot twist : I started getting more and more frequent lockups on Win11. Gave up in the end and went back to 10.

Probably related to the hot garbage that is the USB controller on the Asus X99A USB 3.1.

Yeah, I gave the same board to my brother and warned him not to install the optional Asmedia driver in Windows update. It would always BSOD for me and then required a system restore.
