Just two weeks after Allan
Campbell from KitGuru.com pushed his Intel Core i5 655K close to the
5GHz barrier with his Noctua NH-D14, the Chilean overclocking squad from
UnknownTeam.cl established a new world record on air cooling. Using the
Noctua NH-D14 on their 655K CPU, Carlos 'Dahaka' Cuevas and his
team-mates broke the 5GHz barrier and reached an astonishing 5372MHz!
"What we can say about the NH-D14 is that the cooler was very easy to
mount, it looked very big but we didn't have any problems with other
components of the motherboard", says Hernán 'Jureleitor' Barros,
Sponsorship and Marketing Cordinator of UnknownTeam.cl. "It is
incredibly quiet even over 5 GHz, and it took us almost no effort to
break the world record again. It was a great experience and we all felt
very good about the cooler, it was just amazing!"
After Jeremy Pérez Díaz aka Yagami pushed the 655K CPU to a record speed
beyond 5GHz using the NH-U12P SE2 last week, the team switched to the
NH-D14 at a meeting hosted by PCFactory.cl's Rodrigo Salazar. Noctua's
award-winning flagship model gave Carlos 'Dahaka' Cuevas and his
colleagues additional overclocking headroom and allowed the Chileans to
best their previous record by another 70MHz. These outstanding results
are another testimony to the NH-D14's ability to support amazing clock
speeds while maintaining superb quietness of operation.

"Years ago we looked at Super Talent DDR2 memory at Phoronix
and with what was tested we ran into problems when overclocking,
motherboard compatibility issues, and some very sticky heatsinks. The
experience was not the best, but the memory did work as intended. Nearly
three years have passed and today we have moved on to look at the Super
Talent MasterDrive OX Serial ATA 2.0 Solid State Drive. These Super
Talent SSDs are MLC NAND Flash based and come in sizes down to 16GB,
which leads to prices lower than many other SSDs on the market, but how
do they perform?"
