GPU TDPs have become a bit unhinged lately. Having breached the 300W barrier and then jumping up to 320-350 W, Nvidia is now even developing a 450 W card in the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. However this might be nothing in comparison with what is about to come. It seems that not even the scary 600W number that we heard abotu earlier is the final destination. Nvidia’s next-gen is about to set the bar even higher (and not in a good way). Read more “GeForce RTX 4000 “Lovelace“ power draw might exceed 800 W”

Undervolting and overclocking of Ci9-7980XE with NH-D15
Skylake-X is a significantly more flexible generation of high-end processors than the previous one. Not only because of an unprecedented performance, but also thanks to a more reasonable consumption. Let’s take a look at the impact of different CPU settings on performance and functional features. These tests revealed also how economical can a configuration be with a more efficient cooling.

With X299, temperatures and cooling will be really important
During the recent years, TDP of processors have been declining, 65 W chips have become mainstream, and the things we write about have become a little less important. But this week’s reveal of extreme Intel processors indicates that the competition is now pushing the manufacturers back to straining the hardware to the edge and making things probably much more hot than cold.
