The year is 2008 and Intel has released the most powerful (and expensive) consumer CPU on the PC gaming market. For the low low price of $1299.99CAD this Extreme Overclocking CPU was the perfect companion for an SLI gaming rig. Come along as I retire the Intel QX9650 and take it for one last spin! The PC I am retiring was build in the Antec 900 case and was equipped with dual 9800GTX graphics cards in SLI mode. This is a nostalgia trip for me, and I invite you to join in! ******************* If you like my videos, please consider subscribing.

The folks over at NAB Cooling reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing their CPU Protector Frame / Contact Frame. I personally had no used one in a personal build yet so I took them up on it! This video will look at the NAB Cooling CPU Protector Frame to answer the question, does a 13900K benefit from using a contact frame? Please join me as I go through the results of my testing.

Curve Optimizer is a great way to squeeze a little extra performance out of your 5000 series CPU, but it does take some patience to master! AMD recently released an automatic curve optimizer in their Ryzen Master software, but does it work and how does it stack up against manual adjustments? In this video we explain how curve optimizer works, how it affects the voltage of our CPU at different clock speeds, and provides some examples of how to adjust the curve optimizer in small increments over time to get the best results for your CPU! The examples shows are on the Ryzen 9 5950X, but the same strategy can be applied to the 5900X, 5800X, 5600X etc. Thank you for watching! ******************* If you like my videos, please consider subscribing.
