These processors can turbo higher if cooled better, and there is headroom for power usage. How much more frequency are we going to be expecting from these types of cooling?
With all due respect, Anton, but can you please proof-read your articles before posting? They would look more professional without errors like "let owners to take advantage" or "itsNM-DD1".
Word processors have gotten a lot better too which has helped Anton deliver somewhat improved output but AT has no budget for someone to make an editorial pass before publication so you're seeing raw output. That has negative implications in terms of quality, but it's been that way for a while now and AT does rely on readers to act as editors.
"..was designed in collaboration with Roman 'der8auer' Hartung, a prominent overclocker and cooling specialist."
Yup, still saddled with the childhood screen name and companies are still trying to sell his supposed celebrity endorsement as value added. I would argue it's more accurate to say the guy licensed his name to get slapped on a cooling device and got payola for it, but I understand product marketing so forgive my knowing how companies try to crawl inside the heads of their potential customers.
Really, if you're going to be personally offended over computer parts and make an argument like that at least skim the first sentence of the article before asking for evidence of someone's on-going use of their stage name in association with a company. It's quite literally right there.
Who's getting offended here? You wrote "I would argue it's more accurate to say the guy licensed his name to get slapped on a cooling device and got payola for it". As if derb8uer wasn't involved in the development at all. That's possible but given his history of developing related products, unlikely. So, I simply ask for evidence to support what looks like a an assumption (and a judgement based on something likely to be false).
Der8auer actually does a bunch of the community's initial research into figuring out how to delid the 7000-series, including sacrificing a bunch of CPUs and developing tooling himself in a lab. Noctua and der8auer both had personal presences at the Computex trade show. It's not just a celebrity endorsement, I completely believe he did the work with them.
The guy is regularly the first person to deliver delidding products for new product lines, and based on how awful his video quality was, it is safe to assume that his fame was built off of value added.
Whether or not you think he added value, I'm sure he actually tested the item in question, unlike many such sponsorships.

I'm convinced this works, but out of curiosity, how is the spacer different from the CPU's original heat spreader?BushLin - Thursday, June 29, 2023 - link
The spacer effectively lowers the cooler directly onto the die(s), the heat spreader isn't replaced by another material.extesy - Wednesday, June 28, 2023 - link

Would you be arguing on the basis of any evidence though?PeachNCream - Thursday, June 29, 2023 - link

Why would he rebrand, so people can say "Roman, aka der8auer" or "...previously known as der8auer" I mean who cares?lmcd - Friday, July 14, 2023 - link
