Its been really a long long time that i finally managed to get some spare moments and energy to post something new on my blog, a post about a product worth mentioning :) At CeBIT last month, ASUS showed off an all new Rampage III BLACK EDITION motherboard. I received a unit from ASUS Taiwan for review about a week back and thought that i should share some of its snap shots with you people. I'll

For more than a year i had some liquid cooling stuff lying around. It was a customized purchase meant for use with my old Asus Striker Extreme for building an XTREME rig..... But then the introduction of Intel's 45nm processors and even 65nm quads demonstrated there severe incompatibility with Striker Extreme and other nvidia 680i chipset boards, especially in terms of overclocking. This

INTRODUCTIONLast month I reviewed XFX 8800GT Zalman Edition and made an attempt to show how it can almost compete with a stock 9800GTX once decently overclocked. It was a very good graphics card that produced excellent scores in all benchmarks. Today I would be looking at 9800GTX and see how far can we go with this one. Today’s 9800GTX comes from Inno3D, a brand usually associated as budget card

About 2 weeks back I went to computer market looking for some good mid end nVidia GPU. I know lot of people would ask why nVidia when there are good Radeons available at a very competitive price. The reason was simple. I wanted to experiment with nVidia PHYSX and GPGPU stuff for which I must have two nVidia GPUs working in non-sli configuration. I already had XFX 9600GT which is now being used as

Here is a VDROP/VDROOP PENCIL MOD DETAILS for Asus P5K-V and VM as well. I would suggest doing it ONLY if you are experiencing a good amount of VDROP/VDROOP. Do it at your own risk and if something goes wrong i wouldn't be held responsible for that. Though this worked perfectly for me. If you haven't read the article OVERCLOCKING Q6600 WITH ASUS P5K-V, just do so before applying this mod.Take any

Power consumption information on computer loads is often not specified in a way that allows simple sizing of a UPS. Besides, if you know the exact power consumption of your PC, buying a correctly sized UPS can prove to be a daunting task. It is possible to configure systems that appear to be correctly sized but actually overload the UPS. REASON: Many people are confused about the distinction

Due to its single threaded nature, Super Pi is losing its relevance as a measure of performance in the current era of multi-core processors. As the calculation times become faster and faster, Super PI is becoming a rather poor CPU bench test as it cannot fully stress all the CPU cores due to its single threaded nature. Super Pi scores, as it cannot utilize all of the multi-cores/processors when

There might be a handful of people out there who will be using Asus P5K-V or VM motherboards for their rig as these are the only available mid-end boards from Asus for quite some time after P5B. Most of them already know there great overclocking potential just like there old sibling P5B. For the last couple of days, I’ve been working on this P5K-V board with a Q6600 (65nm Quad Core) with a G0

Until few weeks back I used to wonder about the level of performance of locally available Asus CPU coolers. I read couple of reviews on the net about those coolers but none was able to provide me with the performance details I was looking for. You must be wondering the reasons for that? Well here are few I would like to highlight.No 1; Surprisingly, some reviews won’t even bother to mention the
