Hi there folks! I was out of town for a bit and catching up on news & rumors from that time led me to want to catch up anyone else who may have missed this stuff too.
In an undisclosed location, not so far away – FX has assembled a core of master ninjas, developing their elite squad with new abilities and vivid powers…
OCZ has given us the opportunity to look at their new SSD, which they claim will “[Break] through performance, cost, and maintenance barriers…” Let’s see if they made good on that promise.
Under the microscope today is the Spire TherMax Eclipse II, which is an HDT type heatsink sporting five heatpipes and two 120 X 25 mm fans. We will be seeing if this a high performance cooler or just impersonates one.
Known for their thermal interface material (which is used in all of my reviews), Artic has sent over the Freezer 13 heatsink for testing. There is some pretty formidable competition within this price point, so this review will explore how this cooler stacks up to its peers.
Previously we ran the full review of AMD’s Lynx desktop chip, the A8-3850, which is their Llano architecture for desktops. In that review, regrettably, I was not able to explore overclocking this platform. Thankfully, after a bit more time, that has been remedied.
