Intel has been utilising poor quality thermal interface material since the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture which increases the thermal values and restricts the overclocking headroom. Modern CPUs are ...

There have been several leaks already indicating that upcoming Kaby Lake processors CAN get quite warm. So some of you already have delidding in mind. Well, look no further as it's been done already ...

Update: It seems that the benchmarks results of the Core i7-7700K might have been overexaggerated, with WCCFTech noticing that the clock speeds seem to be "completely wrong". The performance gains of ...

Several days ago, we reported that benchmarks had accidentally been leaked for the Intel Core i7-7700K, 7th Generation Core Processor codename Kaby Lake, on the SiSoft benchmark database, and it looks ...

Very little is different about the 7700K compared to the 6700K. If you clock both at the very same clock frequency, they both will perform roughly similar. As such, the architecture does not make a ...

Reviewing PC components can be a demoralising business. For all the game-changing new technologies offering tangible performance boosts to your gaming rig there are always the dry, nothing-to-see-here ...

There are some interesting things to be discovered when removing the integrated heatspreader (IHS) from a processor, a delicate and dangerous (to the CPU) process known as delidding. For example, you ...

As you can see, delidding the i7-7700K dramatically changed the load temperatures at both 4.5GHz and 5.0GHz. More specifically, the stock thermal reading plummeted by 18C while the overclock ...
