What do you need for such a fancy project? Actually, it's not that much, as long as it's just the water cooling parts. These are normal off-the-shelf components. The most important and, unfortunately, the most expensive component is, of course, its own house with a cool basement. That will then probably also be the exclusion criterion for [...]
Due to the great response to our article "On the hard BIOS-Tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash", in which we were already able to clarify what Nvidia does not give us this time, our author lays again and even put himself in front of the camera! And it doesn't always have to [...]
What do you do with two Core i9-12900K trays? That’s right, binning! Today we have a very special treat for you from the south of Germany. The system integrator MIFCOM has kindly provided us with a large amount of Alder Lake i9 CPUs so that we can put them through their paces and examine them for differences in clock speed. Originally, the [...]

After a good year of dealing with current and competitive hardware and hanging out in the overclocker community, my current focus is on older graphics cards of the Radeon HD series for DirectX 11 applications. For this, I always give myself a budget of up to about 20 Euros, look what I can get used on the net for it and try to set new records with [...]

Ever smaller manufacturing processes lead to ever higher thermal densities in CPUs and GPUs. This is one of the reasons why Intel’s new Alder Lake CPUs run so hot that every air cooler almost has no chance with a big i9, no matter how many watts of waste heat it is designed for. The often cited bottleneck lies further up the cooling chain [...]
If you know OGS, you won’t be surprised to hear that the Greek overclocking team has once again set new world records, this time with an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU using MorePowerTool, an Elmorlabs EVC2SX and of course lots of liquid nitrogen. Stavros and Phil managed to overclock the GPU to an unbelievable 3310 MHz and thus topped various [...]
As promised, today we cover part 2 of the “Washermod”, in which we want to evaluate a few more combinations of different motherboards, socket manufacturers and coolers in a before and after test with the modification. To briefly summarize what the washer mod is all about: washers are installed between the motherboard and the ILM [...]
The fact that the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which is already rumored for 01/27/22, is postponed quite a bit might even have several different reasons, but they certainly have to be considered in context with each other. That there is in fact a delay, one could already read everywhere, but unfortunately not, why exactly. The tight-lippedness among [...]
Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs run hot, very hot. A few weeks ago, Igor had already identified the bending of the CPU and motherboard due to the LGA1700 socket as a potential cause for this. Today I’ll show you a simple modification that can gain up to 5 °C in CPU core temperatures, and it almost couldn’t be simpler. Thanks (again) to [...]

Yuri Bubliy aka 1usmus is now taking a completely different approach with Project Hydra than he did with the former CTR (Clock Tuner for Ryzen), although the focus and goal of both programs are the same: an OC sandbox for optimizing current Ryzen processors from AMD that are based on Zen3. For Project Hydra, Yuri took the well-meant advice and [...]
DDR5 is known to be rarer and harder to come by than some GPUs at the moment. Therefore, the question arose for me: Does an Intel CPU of the 12th generation, codename Alder Lake, really need the new memory standard, or is the performance with DDR4 on a similar level? Alder Lake now also uses two separate memory controllers (IMCs) for DDR4, one for [...]

Right off the bat, a little warning to readers, because the following article is likely to have relevance only to a relatively limited readership. It’s all about the past 11th generation Intel Core CPUs and the Extreme Overclocking motherboards around the Z590 platform. Now Alder Lake is already on the market, but on the one hand older [...]
