eye on this race. It’ll be fairly simple
to determine the best of the cards at
the end. It’ll be the one that has the
most records achieved outside each
vendor’s respective overclocking
lab with their own overclocker or
engineer.
INTEL SHOWS SOME LOVE
INTEL’s decision to change the
thermal compound or material
between the IHS and the CPU may
not have sat well with overclockers
but that has not prevented us
from overclocking the CPUs. In a
great showing of support for the
community, the news of an improved
thermal transfer material in the
Haswell CPU update has sat well with
many people in the community. We
may all be eagerly anticipating the
Haswell-E CPUs along with all related
platform changes, but there has to be
some excitement about the prospect
of even higher clocking CPUs or
at the least the variation in clock
speeds between good and bad CPUs
decreasing. There’s been no specific
reason why the updated K SKU CPUs
only show up later but at this point it’s
less than two month and the wait is
