EVGA 8400GS Volt Modification and Overclocking

Title says it all. I decided to pull out the meek 8400GS for a little fun along while competing in a little competitive event over at XtremeSystems. I originally purchased this card for when I’m benching to reduce the load on my powersupply in hopes of pulling a few more MHz out of the processor. [...]

Review: Intel E8400 Wolfdale

I’ve got an addiction, a Hafnium addiction to be precise.

I don’t know if I’ll do a full review of the card considering it’s [...]

Nvidia Delays Chipset and GPU Launches

Delays are becoming the standard it seems with product launches. First Intel pushes back it’s Yorkfield, E8500, and X48 launches and now Nvidia is pushing back it’s chipset and GPU launches for un-disclosed reasons. These companies must all be conspiring to assist AMD in it’s time of need as this leaves the HD3870×2 as the [...]
