by Rob Williams on November 28, 2011 in Intel Processors

by Rob Williams on April 12, 2011 in Intel Motherboards, Intel Processors, Staff Editorials

Intel’s Core i5-655K & i7-875K Unlocked Processors

by Rob Williams on May 28, 2010 in Intel Processors

Most of today’s desktop CPUs, including budget models, tend to be good for overclocking. But for those who are looking for the ultimate in tweaking ability, Intel’s mainstream models have left a bit to be desired.
