X58A-OC “OC Touch” feature used to push 990X to 7.1Ghz

Hey guys, here’s a quick shout out to everyone about another new feature we have with the X58A-OC board called OC Touch. It’s essentially a hardware level overclocking feature capable of adjusting the multiplier and bclock on the fly in or out of the operating system.

I’ve got a video here that hicookie made today to give you an idea how it works. He’s got the new Core i7 990X installed, LN2 pot running at -170C+, CPU boots at 6.4Ghz (178*36) and then gets clocked up using OC Touch bclock buttons to 7.1GHz (197*36). Easy!

Exposed heatpipes are a pretty common feature on modern heatsinks, in part because the technique is simple and in part because it cuts material costs. We like it because it can reduce thermal resistance by doing away with intermediary heatspreaders and bad, but unseen soldering jobs.
The challenge with exposed heatpipe heatsinks is to properly swage the heatpipes into the base cap of the heatsink, then keep them level with one another over many heating/cooling cycles. Sometimes they stay level, sometimes they don't... Provided these two crucial requirements are met and the heatpipe's internal wick structure isn't damaged during the manufacturing process, exposed heatpipes can be an excellent tool for improving heatsink efficiency.

The Evercool Transformer 4 HPJ-12025 (2010 ed.) heatsink features four 8mm diameter copper heatpipes which are exposed at the base. A small 2mm strip of aluminum separates the heatpipes from one another.
Heatsink Installation Hardware
Evercool's Transformer 4 HPJ-12025 (2010 ed.) heatsink ships with mounting brackets for Intel LGA775/1155/1156/1366 and AMD 754/939/940/AM2/AM3 processors. A pair of rear motherboard support plates are supplied to mount the 844 gram heatsink, along with a combination of brass stand-offs and thumbscrews. You will need access to the rear of the motherboard to install this heatsink.

The heatsink is held in place with a universal bracket that slips in between the heatpipes and engages with a keyed recess in the heatsinks' aluminum base cap.

The two 120mm fans are held in place on the heatsink body with wire clips that are screwed onto the fan frame. These are easily removable if you wish to swap out fans in the future. A 4-pin Y-splitter fan power cable is supplied so both PWM fans can be run off one single PWM motherboard fan header. A small syringe of thermal compound is also provided.

FrostyTech's Test Methodologies are outlined in detail here if you care to know what equipment is used, and the parameters under which the tests are conducted. Now let's move forward and take a closer look at this heatsink, its acoustic characteristics, and of course its performance in the thermal tests!

BREAK NEWS!!!New gaming laptops galore from Acer, Asus, MSI, Toshiba

With Intel’s Sandy Bridge rollout including a few Core i7 quad-core mobile processors, it was inevitable that a heavy dose of gaming laptops would be among the first portables announced using Intel’s latest CPUs. Here are some heavy hitters from some heavy hitters in the notebook world.

While the following systems all feature Intel inside, when it comes to their graphics, things start to fragment. For instance, Acer’s new 8950G-9839 uses AMD’s new Mobility Radeon HD 6850, which it pairs with a Core i7-2630QM, 8GB of RAM, 750GB hard drive, and 18.4-inch LED-backlit display. Similarly, the Toshiba Qosmio X505 (pictured above) offers the i7-2630QM and 18.4-inch screen, but chooses Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M graphics. (It’s also available with a Core i5-2410M processor.) Toshiba offers this Qosmio line from between $1,300 and $1,900, while the Acer costs $1,599.99.
