eVGA recently unleashed on the world their new TIM dubbed “Frostbite”, and for good reason. eVGA claims this new compound is not only better for the extreme cooling crowd, but also superior for everyday users as well.

Introduction If extreme overclocking had a name, it’d be k|ngp|n. Vince Lucido (a/k/a “k|ngp|n”) is arguably the man who got such things started in the United States. Back when most people were still gawking at the extreme ventures of a few folks pushing overclocking to new heights with water cooling, this guy started to bring [...]

As a benchmarker, the biggest milestone you will come across is your first plunge below -100C. Liquid Nitrogen is -196C by nature, and to utilize this exotic cooling material, you need a fantastic evaporator, or more commonly known as a pot. Much like dry ice, cooling the processor down this cold will decrease impedance that [...]

In part one, I showed the unboxing of the pot I received for testing. This is a very large, and well-designed evaporator mainly used for LN2 and LHe. I decided I’d just recreate the thread with part one and two so you guys can see it all in one place: I know some of you [...]

Thanks for all the feedback, those of you who have posted comments around the web concerning the Corsair Dominator review that was published yesterday.  Based on the of the comments I’ve received, I wanted to write a brief follow up with a few more results. Originally, I planned to test the memory kit subjectively with [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
