Done by the user Liquid Cooling
LiquidCooling had a broken 8800 gtx that shows artifact and he read that if you bake an 8800 gtx, you can remove this problem.

Unfortunately the card did only one boot after the bake session and could pass a 3dmark 06 before dieing again.

Is all the banter about this product really...

I had purchased my Xbox 360 console at launch and, though many of my friends may attest to the opposite, I was highly satisfied with the quality of m...

My goal was to better understand the impact of adding a second 360 radiator, which in theory doubles the heat dissipation capability of your loop. But what does it bring to the table in terms of overclockability on the AM3 platform?
Read on for a lightweight comparison between running one and two 360-sized radiators in a sing...

In the world where Nvidia “Fermi” graphics cards had been so long awaited, speculations are still the only thing most of us have. But speculations being unreliable, we can only assume that time will tell the tale. Apparently guys at Chiphell forums think otherwise. In fact, they just posted 3DMark06 benchmark results for ...

I was very happy with the X58 SLI LE. I wanted to build another cruncher so I decided to pick up the 3X SLI for the extra cooling that comes with it. Anyway let’s take a look at it.
It has the same black and grey color scheme as the LE. It came with a few more acc. than the LE. No big deal as I did not even open them. The layou...

With all of the accomplishments of Thermalright’s CPU heatsinks, it is very easy to overlook the rest of their solid catalog. Today we get to find o...
