Corsair Meets Intel's Ivy Bridge and Panther Point
By Mike Clements, on April 23rd, 2012Intel always manages to assign some interesting code names to their chipsets and to their processors. For example, their two latest enthusiast product announcements are code named Panther Point (chipset) and Ivy Bridge (CPU). Although our corresponding secretive code names aren't secret, it's always great fun to use some Vengeance® memory to learn about the new products and of course see how they perform and overclock!
Setting up your GPU for Liquid Nitrogen Overclocking
By Jake Crimmins, on April 2nd, 2012
I did a video in October on how to overclock your CPU using liquid nitrogen, this time I show you how to overclock your graphics cards using LN2. It covers preparing the GPU, installing the liquid nitrogen pot and getting started overclocking.

By Jake Crimmins, on December 19th, 2011Overclocking the new AMD Bulldozer CPUs on liquid nitrogen is easy, fun and affordable even for a beginner. The new generation of Bulldozer CPUs are reaching speeds near or over 8GHz on liquid nitrogen. Along with high CPU frequencies the processors are able to run memory at high frequencies as well. In this blog I am going to show you the basic template of the settings I use to reach high core and memory frequencies on liquid nitrogen. Be careful though because overclocking on liquid nitrogen voids most warranties and can kill your hardware!
