Intel comments internally on the “13th and 14th Generation K SKU Processor Instability Issue” and finally brings a comprehensive update of its own investigation (Leak)

What do you think it means when Intel provides a document with the title “Title Enhanced Thermal Velocity Boost (eTVB) May Miscalculate Frequency Limits” and the subline “Issue Description An incorrect frequency limit calculation may allow the processor to operate at a high frequency state at a high temperature” [...]


A decent ATX 3.1 power supply for under 50 euros? Why the Deepcool PL550D 550 Watts (almost) manages it!

The Deepcool PL550D currently costs around 49 euros, making it the cheapest (almost) ATX v3.1 power supply on the market, even if it is advertised as ATX 3.0. This price would still be very low even for ATX power supplies of the previous generation. However, although the maximum output is limited to 550W, this device can withstand power peaks of [...]

NiPoGi GK3 Plus Mini-PC test – Probably the best cooled Intel N97

I have tested so many of these small computers with Intel’s N-series processors that I should actually be familiar with all the underlying circuit boards.
