TheOverclocker Issue 27 | Page 7

We know you mostly bench NVIDIA graphics cards, but what are your thoughts on the Radeon R9 290X? Frankly, not bad at all if ATI can spend more time on polishing its drivers. I like the idea of core unlock on certain GPU die batches. It’s always fun to unlock something with surprising bonus. You have been overclocking with a lot of the guys at HKEPC. Do you mainly bench with them or do you have other people you regularly bench with? I do bench with HKEPC team mates, but I bench alone most of the time. What are your two favourite motherboards at the moment for the Z87 and the X79 platform? Asus Z87 M6E & ASRock Z87M OCF; Asus R4E & R4BE. What is the most supportive memory vendor for you and overclocking? Team, Corsair and Geil at the moment. Issue 27 | 2013 The OverClocker 7
