It’s not all mini PCs and budget notebooks from ASUS - though you’d be excused for thinking it. The company has just announced a new gaming PC, the ARES CG6155, and while it may not have a killer-name it does have all the usual hyperbole manufacturers seem to lapse into when launching these sort of [...]
Deep down, in my geeky heart of hearts, I know the one thing that can turn a good piece of tech into a kick-ass gadget is a big red button. Thankfully MSI know that too, which is obviously why they’ve added a bright red overclock button to their GeForce N9600GT Diamond graphics card that they [...]
If Acer thought rivals Alienware would take one look at their new Predator gaming PC and run for the hills, they’ve another thing coming. Alienware have dragged their already-incredible Area-51 ALX back into the lab and subjected it to some serious surgery. We’re not talking mere botox, either: how about a 3.2GHz Intel Core 2 [...]
The world of high-performance RAM takes no prisoners, and Super Talent Technology’s previously top-of-the-line memory has now been eclipsed by OCZ Technology. The company has announced their own 4GB DDR3 kit, the PC3-16000, which features two 2GB sticks running at 2,000MHz (compared to STT’s 1,800MHz). OCZ are positioning their RAM as ideal for overclockers and [...]
When you want to get the most performance out of your gaming rig, you’ll naturally want to try and overclock it. However, you have to deal with the excess heat put off by your CPU (or whatever component you’re overclocking). One option is to get a bigger heatsink and throw in some extra fans, which [...]
Consider yourself handy when it comes to overclocking and cooling? AMD just hooked you up then, I mean how often does a processor manufacturer release a 64 bit dual core processor that has unlocked multipliers?
If you like overclocking, and you have some spare liquid nitrogen just sitting around, why not just overclock a Core 2 Extreme to 5GHz?
I love my gaming rig, I’m fairly consistent about upgrading the parts so that I can run the latest games smoothly. However, I’m not one that needs to be on the bleeding-edge of technology just to play my games.
Apparently Overclockers UK seems to think that there are enough people out there willing to shell out [...]
I enjoy overclocking just as much as the next guy, but I’ve never really bothered with overclocking my memory very much. Usually the performance gains are minimal because even with a nice heatsink and a case with good airflow, you still run the risk of overheating it.
