    News Core i9 14900KS heatspreader transformed into CPU water block - clever machining yields a functioning water block

    No you're not. You are removing the heat with the water. Having a thick IHS doesn't help if you have no mechanism to remove the heat. It may take longer for a thicker piece of metal to become saturated with heat but it will nonetheless become saturated with heat. The water removes the heat. Your...

    News Core i9 14900KS heatspreader transformed into CPU water block - clever machining yields a functioning water block

    The water replaces the copper material that is removed. The surface area thus remains the same. High performance waterblocks do target the hot spot area as water atoms colliding with the copper will absorb more heat due to the vortex created. This is a lesson waterblock engineers learned a long...

    Best CPUs (Archive)

    I concur with this article. Mostly on account of the entire package, Ryzen 2 brings when compared to its Intel competitors. For your average gamer, the Ryzen CPU will last longer and offer much more stable frame rates should their system have many background apps (which tends to be the norm)...

    Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8G D5 Review

    Once you factor in DX12 gaming, which we're starting to see with the Ashes of the Singularity as well as Fable Legends benchmarks, you notice that the R9 390 competes with the GTX 980 regardless of the resolution. These are in two upcoming titles whose pipeline occurs less than 20% of the time...

    Dx12 nvidia vs amd

    Yes. Unless the game is a GameWorks title, expect AMDs cards to be extremely competitive with nVIDIA's offerings. I broke this story under the pseudonym "Mahigan". Maxwell/2 cards do not support Asynchronous Compute. That means that while they can handle Compute tasks in Parallel, they cannot...

    from FX-6300 to i5, is it worth it?

    You won't notice the difference. No seriously you won't. I have an i5 4670K and a few FX 6300 rigs. You won't notice a single difference cept maybe if you play Borderlands you will... maybe :)

    Parts have arrived! How did I do?

    From Tomshardware: Click HERE for the Article. This is what the OP is looking for anyway. He wants to overclock. Showing off a big overclock is one thing... a 1-6% increase in performance for a small percentage increase in system cost is another. Its worth it.
