Deepcool Captain 240 Pro Review

Dazzling RGB and a radiator that never leaks. Deepcool may be a relative newcomer around these here parts, but in the five years or so in which we've been reviewing the firm's products, we've rarely come away disappointed. Offering something a little different to the norm, the Chinese manufacturer's kit is often eye-catching, affordable, and able to keep pace with the so-called big names when it comes to performance.

We enjoyed last year's Castle 240 RGB cooler, so when asked if we'd like to take a closer look at a 2019 alternative, we thought well, why not? It's called the Captain 240 Pro and arrives at retail priced at £150.

Intel Xeon W-3175X Review

Intel has always ensured that its high-end server platforms, one where multiple CPUs can act as a single system, have the highest core count processors. These servers go into the most expensive deployments, so they can afford the most expensive silicon to produce. The consumer market by contrast is very price sensitive by comparison, so consumers get fewer cores. However, consumers have always asked for a way of getting all of those cores, preferably in an overclockable chip, at more reasonable prices. Intel has answered your call, with the Xeon W-3175X. All 28-cores, all the time. This is our review.

Intel Xeon W-3175X Review

In October of last year, when Intel officially unveiled its 9th Generation Core series processors, the company also took the opportunity to announce a semi-new breed of workstation processor, namely the Xeon W-3175X. Technically speaking, the architecture at the heart of the Xeon W-3175X isn’t new – the monstrous 28-core / 56-thread processor is based on Skylake-SP, just like the first wave of Xeon Scalable processors that were released in 2017. What Intel has done with the Xeon W-3175X, however, is selectivity bin the die and tweak and tune the power and turbo boost profiles to increase frequencies, and ultimately performance, versus earlier Skylake-SP parts.

Intel Xeon W-3175X Review

Intel's Xeon W-3175X is a shot across AMD's bow, boasting tons of cores, lots of cache, and high clock rates. It's too bad that a sky-high price tag puts it out of reach for most enthusiasts.
