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...

Introduction
After the recent review on the Excalibur, I was on the look out for a few low noise fans, specifically for the Venomous X.

Guide: Overclocking a fan0 Comments By OverShockedcloseAuthor: OverShockedName: Byron Todd Email: overclockednation@gmail.com Site: About:See Authors Posts (1) on February 26, 2010
How to overclock a fan.
