A Little Write Up of the LanCool PC-K62 2 Comments By GegeV2 on November 13, 2009 Introduction When LanCool appeared, I had doubts bout the chassis it produced. It simply wasn’t worth its price when there were a whole lot of SECC/Hybrid chassis out there at more pleasing prices…my own personal opinion. However my perception of LanCool changed when they launched their Dragonlord series of chassis. http://www.lancoolpc.com/en/microsite/01/ LanCool Dragonlord The models K56, K58, K60, K62 all have similar features, with the K62 having the most and the K56/58 having t...

If you cannot wait you can watch it now, or you can read the story and then revel that it was digitally transcribed for all time.

Modern CPU communication bus architecture Intel (i5, i7, Core2) and AMD (Post AthlonXP) and it’s relation to overclocking 2 Comments By Archer on November 4, 2009 There seems to be some misunderstanding about what Hyper-Transport (HT-AMD), Quick Path Interconnect (QPI-Intel) and Front Side Bus (FSB-Intel and pre-A64 AMD) really are and their differences.

In the diagram below and with the data provided the problem is obvious, too much data for the old bus. As can be seen all information must take one path on the older architectu...
