Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition

 The has been so much fuss about Intel’s new LGA 1155 processors recently that its easy to forget about Intel’s other range of LGA 1366 CPUs. Intel actually pitches its X58 chipset and corresponding CPUs as its high-end offerings; theoretically, this means they reside above Sandy Bridge-based processors in the performance tree.
As we’ve seen, though LGA 1155 CPUs and motherboards are incredibly quick and outrageously overclockable, and can put their LGA 1366 stablemates to shame.
Processors at the top of the range such as the Core i7-970 and Core i7-980xExtreme Edition sport sic Hyper-Threaded cores, allowing them to perform better than LGA 1155 CPUs in highly multi-threaded applications. It’s to this elite group of processors that Intel’s new release, the Core I7-990X Extreme edition belongs.
As the i7-990x

Intel Core i5 2500T, The Low-powered Gaming Console

We’ve already had a good look at the Intel Core i5 2500K processor; it’s getting a reputation as the go-to-guy if your budget won’t quite stretch to a 2600K but u still want a Sandy Bridge gamer’s chip.

  Although its getting all the attention as a flag ship chip in the second generation Core i5 line-up there are a couple of other interesting family members. Not because of their overclocking ability- they don’t really don’t have much without K moniker-no it’s because they’re low-power chips. The most interesting one of these low-powered chips is the Core i5 2500T

  It’s the ‘T’ part of the name that’s the important bit; it means that the chip has a TDP of just 45Watts. That may still sound like a fair old chunk of power with AMD’s  Fusion E-530 running at ust 18W but it’s a remarkable 50Watts lower than the 2500K . And with a hell of a lot of extra performances too.

  On the flip side, unlike the 2500K, the multipliers aren’t unlocked so there’s not a lot you can to improve on the default 2.3GHz clock speed. It’s not the only lower power member of the family there’s also the 2500S. The s series of chips have slightly higher TDP’s of 65Watts.

  Usually when you see the words low power next to a CPU it tends to bring up the thoughts of enfeebled performance.

Tutorial:How To Overclock : Intel Core i7-980X

This is a tutorial which will show you how to overclock your Intel Core i7-920 processor. This will make your PC run up to 23% Faster In Games and 29% Faster In Apps

What is Overclocking?

 

Overcolcking is the practices which increase the frequency in which PC components operate which results in increasing their performance. A few years back the method of overclocking was kept as a sole preserve of those with highly specialised knowledge. But it’s actually very easy to do. This step by step guide will show you how to boost your PC capabilities to the maximum

 Materials Required (hardwares similar to these capabilities can also get the work done)

·         Triple-channel DDR3 RAM- To push the maximum out of your CPU, you need a high frequency memory. A1,600 MHz kit will be superior for overclocking

·         Asus P6TD Deluxe Motherboard

·         A good cooler- We ne
