AMD Ryzen 5 1600X overclocked to 5.9GHz with 6C/12T enabled

Breaks four multi-threaded records previously held by the Intel Core i7 5820K. HEXUS published a double review yesterday, featuring the AMD Ryzen 5 1500X and Ryzen 5 1600X (14nm Zen) processors. We looked at the conventional air-cooled overclocking ability of these chips and observed that the limitations of air cooling meant that neither chip could go beyond the 4.0 to 4.2GHz range, providing rather limited OC potential. But what clock speeds and performance could these chips be capable of with 'full pot LN2' cooling, for example?

Bitspower Summit EF-X CPU Waterblock Review

Bitspower has not enjoyed much success in the sector of CPU waterblocks, owing to average performance and high product cost with limited customization. They aim to change this in 2017 with the new Summit EF that promises to run at up to 6°C less than before; it will also come with top options in acrylic, nickel-plated copper, and a special gold-plated copper edition.

Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4-3200 16GB Memory Kit Review

When it comes to memory Corsair is always at the top of the list for most people, especially their Dominator Platinum Series. This series is widely regarded as the best high-performance memory out there. The reason for that is because for the Dominator Series Corsair hand-picks the ICs used for the best performance and overclockability. Dominator memory also features Corsair’s Patented DHX cooling technology. Today we are taking a look at the CMD16GX4M2B3200C16 kit which is a 16 GB (2x 8GB) kit that runs at 3200 MHz with timings of 16-18-18-36 at 1.35V.

Linksys Velop AC2200 Triband Router Review

You wait decades for wireless mesh network products to arrive and then two come at once. Just a few months after NETGEAR’s Orbi (http://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/james-morris/netgear-orbi-ac3000-tri-band-router-review/) hit the scene, we have the Linksys Velop. This attempts to go one better by including not just two meshing units, but three in the kit we were sent. How does it compare to the Orbi?

Microsoft's Xbox: Project Scorpio dev kit revealed

Packs juicier specs like 24GB of RAM, a more powerful GPU, and an OLED status screen. Last week we learnt of the impressive tech specs of the Xbox: Project Scorpio console, via a Eurogamer exclusive. Yesterday, gaming industry journal Gamasutra published an article about its own exclusive audience with the Microsoft Xbox: Project Scorpio developers, plus tech specs and pictures of the ustom made Scorpio dev kit.

Interestingly, the Scorpio dev kit has some significant upgrades over the proposed new 4K console design. An Xbox developer told Gamasutra that "It's much easier for a game developer to come in higher and tune down, than come in lower and tune up. Or nail it. That just rarely happens". Games developers will be aiming to hit several goals such as 4K, 4K textures, rocksteady framerates, HDR, wide colour gamut, and spatial audio. The upgraded hardware helps towards those goals but so does having DX12 runtime components "baked into the system itself," Gamasutra was told.

Ryzen Stock Coolers

With Ryzen 5 now available, the possibility that people will be running stock coolers has gone up considerably. Because of that, I figured today we could take a quick look at the performance of the new Wraith Spire and Wraith Max coolers. I did the same thing last year when the Wraith Cooler was first introduced. So today won’t be a big article, I’m just going to run through what CPUs they work with, compare the differences, and then see how they perform.
