Kingston is no spring chicken. They’ve been in the memory game since 1987. Their HyperX series of RAM is popular with overclockers, and for good reason. They’re strong and they’re backed by Kingston’s lifetime warranty. For this review, we’re looking at a new mid-level dual-channel 4GB DDR3 kit, their DDR3-2000 with rated timings of 9-10-9-27.
“What is the Chimp Challenge?” You may ask. The Chimp Challenge is an annual folding team competition between some of the top teams in the world, Overclockers.com included.
Today we will take a high level look into the world of benchmarking. More specifically we will be looking at 13 point scoring benchmarks listed at hwbot.org as well as the more common utilities used for overclocking and submitting scores to their system as well as system information and monitoring their system.
My first experience with G.Skill RAM was as a moderator of the (dearly departed) abit forums. They. Just. Work. We’d recommend them all the time because once you set the BIOS properly, you were done. In an Overclockers.com exclusive, the kit we’re looking at today is one of their highest, the PI series DDR3-2400 4Gb kit, model # F3-19200CL9D-4GBPIS.
I have been overclocking and benchmarking computer hardware for quite a few years. However, Once I joined the realm of competative benchmarking about 2 years ago, things changed a lot. One thing that I have found to be essential in a proper benching table. Today, I’m looking at the new and improved benching table built by DIMASTECH in Italy. Does it have what it takes to replace my long time benching table build by Navig? Read on…
Cooler Master has been in business for more than a decade. They were “founded with the mission of providing the industry’s best thermal solutions.” The Cooler Master CM690 II Advanced that we’ll be looking at today, which is a significant update to the venerable RC690, a budget champion for wire management with superb airflow, aims to push them further toward that mission.
I’ve been asked to test the Prolimatech Mega Shadow heatsink. The purpose of the test is to see if lapping the heatsink will give any performance improvement. Since I already have a Megahalems in one of my secondary rigs, I found the idea interesting. The testing procedure will be simple. For each step, I will do three mounts and run the test app three times, then average the results.
