news 28 Posted December 1, 2009 Hi everyone, If you're looking for a brand new, high performance PC for Christmas, but don't fancy building a system from scratch and overclocking it yourself, then chances are you'll want to go to a respected system builder to do the job at the right price for you. This is where Cryo PC comes into the equation, offering up a range of heavily overclocked, performance-oriented systems to suit a wide range of budgets. Today, we take a look at one of their Cryo Quad parts to see how both this system and Cryo's system building philosophy stack up in the market for factory overclocked PCs. Cryo Quad desktop PC system review "With regard to our specific configuration however, at the heart of the Core Quad we find a sensible choice - Intel's latest Core i5 750 CPU, overclocked by hand to a speed of around 4GHz to offer up a huge amount of raw processing power without breaking the bank on a Core i7 part or the like. To guarantee those high clock speeds, we also find our Quad outfitted with ASUS' Republic of Gamers Maximus III Formula and a 4GB of Corsair RAM with a fair amount of overclocking potential itself. Graphics come courtesy of NVIDIA's current flagship, dual GPU GeForce GTX 295 (the latest, single PCB version incidentally) in lieu of Radeon HD 5800/5900 series stock, while that heavily overclocked CPU finds itself cooled by Corsair's effective H50 water cooling solution. Corsair also provide the power supply for this rig, via a 650 Watt unit that is just about ample for this specification. Samsung's lightining fast (for a regular hard drive) and spacious 1TB F3 hard disk makes up the Quad's storage capabilities, while the entire rig finds itself encased within Lian Li's simple yet elegant PC7-YCF aluminium chassis. Throw in a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium in its 64-bit flavour and a DVD writer, and you have yourself one complete PC raring and ready to go - Just add the peripherals you need." http://www.elitebastards.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1025&catid=13&Itemid=27 As always, a news post on your site would be hugely appreciated, and we guarantee to reciprocate by posting any news items received from yourselves.
