lab501 is one of the most objective and professional sites you can find. They've got a long standing history of high quality reviews and benchmark outputs.

This game looks pathetic, like it was built of voxel technology.

No surprises here, almost all new hardware is junk from a performance/price ratio.

Galaxy makes great video cards, the custom designs are top performers, and the white PCB products are breathtaking!

Got any details on this? from what I've read people have a hard time mounting in on top, I'm not sure how to mount it on the back side since there are no supports for the full length of the radiator.

Do you know if it is possible to replace/remove the fan?

Freaky looking cooler..checked some reviews and it's better than NH D-14? http://www.guru3d.com/article/zalman-cnps-9900-max-review/7 Edit: in another review it seems it is way under http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/zalman_cnps_9900_max_video_review/1

So I am looking for the best cooler for my 2600k but all 4 ram slots are filled with 4GB modules of Corsair Vengeance (tall heat spreaders). Is there a high performance option that won't interfere with my ram? From the research I've done both NH D14 and Silver Arrow are out of the question from...

You don't have to spell anything, since obviously your math is treated at empirical levels and your reference systems are flawed. Your post does nothing but sustain my arguments, the chip is a flop making it even less desirable for mobile solutions that can overheat easily. And as I stated...

Good job at explaining the obvious, you are only trying to justify the final result, which, at the end of the day is...SURPRISE...it puts out more heat.

You will change your platform long before PCI 2.0 is saturated. You have no clue of simple physics and you are contradicting yourself in your post, on one side you're saying it does not run hotter, and on the other that it does. Even at regular overclocking levels(4.2-4.4 ghz), IB falls...

Are we talking about mobile solutions? I think not, so the power consumption difference is insignificant (23W?), which is probably canceled by the fact you need a more powerful cooler since it runs hotter. PCIE3 support is useless, wake up, 0 difference vs. PCIE2.

The 670 from Gigabyte beats the stock 680(mine goes up to 1175 mhz out of the box).

Troll much? what kind of stupid technical recommendation is this, please go.

I think we can all agree the Ivy Bridge chips are a total flop compared to the previous generation. Was wondering if Intel will continue to release any future cpus for this platform.
