    Thermalright Intros Revised Archon CPU Cooler

    Thermalright Intros Revised Archon CPU Cooler

    uhm. :wtf: not quite. Thermalright TRUE is a very good heatsink, but it definitely did not create nor pioneer anything. It borrowed from competition and perfected the balance heatpipe <> fins density. when the first tower coolers were released, thermalright was surprised that they...

    Nvidia/ATi: Differences in Reviews.

    thanks Wizzard; I don't see where I offended, but OP is not alone is asking the question why the different reviews offer such different outcomes; the test setup is crucial to answer this question; in case of Crysis testing there are large differences because of OS, AA levels, Quality Settings...

    Nvidia/ATi: Differences in Reviews.

    ? que. Where do I hide that fact? he calls out the review, but fails to do some proper research on the subject. THe fact is that under XP the X2 vs GTX280 plays out different compared to X2 vs GTX280 under Vista. yes because if you don't have a high post count, your opinion doesn't count, we...
