    Intel's Sandy Bridge Revealed: Core i5-2500K & i7-2600K Reviewed

    Ok, it's official. I'm excited. The thing with 5Ghz is that I read you're looking at close to 1.5v and that's just too high for everyday use as far as I'm concerned. I'd say 1.4 is the most I'd go unless I was doing a quick run for HWBoints.

    Intel's Sandy Bridge Revealed: Core i5-2500K & i7-2600K Reviewed

    Wow! It looks like Maingear/Origin PC is selling overclocked desktops running Sandy Bridge processors at 5Ghz! There must be a ton of cooling or they've gotten their hands on some choice chips.

    How do I find out how many processors an AMD processor has?

    I don't do pre-built PC's but I have worked on enough to know that the first thing that should be done is a full reformat and reinstallation of the OS. Blech!

    How do I find out how many processors an AMD processor has?

    I'm not big on desktop gadgets. I think it goes back to the days when I was running Vista on a Pentium D 805 and 2GB of DDR400. Even though my system can easily run the OS, I'm a scrooge when it comes to what is using resources.

    Overclocking and pc cooling materials in the philippines?

    Be prepared to pay if you're setting up a custom water loop not to mention taking time for leak testing and maintenance. *shudder*

    Corsair at CES 2011

    I think the 600T is drop dead gorgeous...if a case can be such a thing. I'm not so sure about the white version though. It just doesn't seem to be as striking as the NZXT Phantom. Maybe I just need to see it in person like I have the Phantom.

    CoolIT to Discontinue Producing Consumer Products

    Their core business has always been the OEM market so it just makes sense to do it this way.

    CoolIT to Discontinue Producing Consumer Products

    Ok, so it is true. I still want my Vantage 240 though! Grrr! Anyway, it's nice to see that they found a solid company to work with, especially since they still get to launch their Maestro chassis management system albeit under another name. On another forum a rep from Corsair posted that...

    Samsung Develops the First 30nm DDR4 DRAM

    I'm surprised RAMBUS is still in business considering all the lawyers fees. I could make toast and they'd claim I infringed on one of their patents. With the increased memory performance of the P67 chipset I wonder if there will really be any noticeable, real world difference between the...

    Samsung Develops the First 30nm DDR4 DRAM

    Think of it this way...DDR3 picked up where DDR2 left off at roughly 1066mhz. Now DDR4 is picking up where DDR3 left off at roughly 2133. Just wait until DDR4 modules get into the hands of OCZ, G.Skill, Corsair and the likes. I'd say we're looking at 3000mhz+ frequencies. This is off topic...

    Bugged Game? Get a Refund

    That was something that I had removed and wished I added back into the article - what do you do if you download a glitched/bugged game from a digital service like Steam? It's not like you can walk in and say you want to return a physical copy. Maybe they should offer a refund policy if you...

    Nintendo Warns of 3DS Use for Children Under 6

    I read an article that warned against prolonged exposure to 3D media because it can rewire the way you view non 3D thing such as every day life. The first and only 3D movie I watched, Avatar, left both my wife and I with a headache for about a day after so for me it is a take it or leave it fad...
