All things considered this is a fun card to clock. Speeds ramped very well with the included ASUS software and the results scaled better than were expected. I suspect it was some magic sauce from ASUS. If the link with the cup\medal is clicked you will see on the far right other video cards that had similar scores to this card.

Recently, Gelid sent over one of its products that has been causing a lot of noise in the overclocking community, the GX-7. It is time to see how the GX-7 stands up to TechREACTION’s grueling testing.   The Gelid GX-7 comes in Gelid’s signature Blue and Green packaging that is present throughout Gelid’s other products [...]

Established in 1989, G. Skill is synonymous with memory modules that deliver great performance and have very impressive overclocking capabilities. What stands out with G.Skill memory is that for modules that can overclock the way they can, the price of their memory is often lower then similar modules offered by their competitors which don’t nearly [...]

Doing a comparison with Intel’s latest 6 series chipset on a quality motherboard shows us that this Motherboard has no deficiencies that can really be improved on by Sapphire. The 1333 memory speed can be a turnoff for some but there is really not much sacrificed in that 266 MHz. Yes a benchmark will show you the deficiencies but will they make a difference in the normal operation of this board?

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.

Today, we have the ASUS HD 6870 DirectCU, with a custom PCB design, that will be going onto our test bench to see how closely it performs to the marketing hype. The DirectCU line of cards from ASUS are catered to the overclockers out there in the market. The DirectCU has precision mounting, putting the [...]

Spending a few hours testing at this speed using Unigine Heaven in DX11 mode as well as Tropics, Sanctuary, Stalker CoP and AvP everything was set; until 3DMark11 refused to do anything but freeze the system. At that point lowering the GPU to 992 and memory to 1388 incrementally was the only way to stabilize the benchmark.

All things considered this is a fun card to clock. Speeds ramped up easily and the results scaled quite well with the clocks.

Corsair hit a home run in the latter half of 2010 with the release of their Vengeance 12GB 1600mhz kit. Buyers on Newegg raved about the stability of the kit, and the ability to run the Cas9-rated sticks at Cas 8. While this is something that would not impress most RAM overclockers, it did seem [...]
