[Blog] Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 Motherboard Review 6 Comments By Deux on June 5, 2010 Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 Motherboard Review Patrick “Deux” VanValzah First off, I’d like to make sure you know what you’re going to get from this review. This isn’t going to be your run of the mill motherboard review where I ramble about the number of USB and SATA ports and run meaningless tests comparing motherboards and drawing conclusions from the tiny differences between boards. First I’m going to briefly discuss the features and layout of the board keep...
Tenma 72-7712 dual channel temp probe, what happens with temperatures inside a PC. 4 Comments By Archer on June 1, 2010 The 72-7712 Digital Thermometer from Tenma Test Equipment is a dual thermocouple meter with internal logging capability, USB output for saving logged data and software up-link. This unit can become an integral part of a PC testing arsenal by allowing for isolation of case hot spots, heat sink testing and LN2/Dry Ice work. The limitations start to change and the performance bar can be raised when you know where it is hot and where it is not. Compatible with K-, J-, T- and E- thermocouples (oth...
Overclockaholics.com 3DMark 01 Low Clock Challenge 1 Comment By 3oh6 on July 16, 2009 The idea of a low clock challenge is to provide a playing field for benchmarkers to prove their tweaking skills in a given benchmark. Setting specific limitations constructs the playing field and opens the doors to a lot of people to compete that might not have the newest or best hardware that a wide open competition would require. Overclockaholics.com recently had a low clock 3Dmark 01 challenge which locked CPU clocks to 4.2GHz and limited Nature Frames Per Second to 1200FPS for single card...
My trip to K|ngp|n’s Lab – a mini pictoral 1 Comment By TheGoat Eater on July 8, 2009 Between June 26th- 28th I got the great opportunity to go to K|ngp|n’s lab in Detroit and bench on Liquid Nitrogen, and it was my first time… That was after I took a bus trip to get there that was probably 10 times longer than what it would have been if I flew, though then again it wasn’t 850 USD either. I arrived mid afternoon Friday and luckily I had no hardware casualties from the trip there, I met everyone when I arrived and it was really cool to meet those that I looked u...

Opportunity of a lifetime… 6 Comments By Chew on May 30, 2009 I was recently offered a choice by a certain individual…… You take the blue pill and it’s over, you wake up tomorrow and continue life as you know it and you believe what you want to believe. You take the Green pill and I show you a world you never could have imagined in your wildest dreams where limits and boundaries are meant to be broken.

EVGA X58 Classified Takes i7 920 Over 5.3GHz 3 Comments By 3oh6 on May 3, 2009 It was almost exactly a month ago that I took the Classified and its 965 occupant over the 5GHz mark and under seven minutes in 32M SuperPi. Well today, I took the baby nephew of the 965 – an Intel Core i7 920 – well over 5GHz and even further below seven minutes in 32M Super Pi. The trip started innocently enough with a locally purchased i7 920 sporting the date code 3845B026. Soon after some quick air testing, however, things took a turn towards the crazy track with the idea to t...
EVGA X58 Classified Goes Sub 7min…32M SPi 3 Comments By 3oh6 on April 4, 2009 The EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified has been much heralded in the enthusiast and overclocking forums and for very good reason. This particular 965 was only able to clock to around 5040MHz on both the EVGA X58 3X SLI and DFI X58-T3eH8 for 32M SPi. On the Classified, however, I was able to push this processor almost 100MHz more at the same pot temperature of around -75C. This extra 100MHz mated with a solid set of Corsair Dominator-GT 3×2GB DDR3-1866 7-8-7 memory, got me below the 7 minute mar...
