only upgrade if performance is not up to your standards. A really high overclock on a 7600K makes it perform well, and if you're getting what you were after then there's no trouble.

Hi guys,
greetings from Germany. I am a German native speaker (and English teacher) so I hope to provide some insights into the German article:
 
1. Heise is a generally trusted source that does not take part in gossip (as far as I see it) - full disclosure: I have a subscription to their PC magazine.
 
2. In their article they state that their legal team worked through the NDA and as far as they see it, it's a gag order. (translation of the reaction of the legal team when they read the NDA: "They through their hands up in horror").
 
3. One of the things that the legal team refers to is §3: "Recipients shall use Confidential Information solely for the benefit of NVIDIA and shall not: (a)..." - for them the 'and' seems to do the trick.
 
4. The described time frame of 5 years - in their eyes - signifies that they are not allowed to criticize products for up to 5 years - or even in perpetuity (if it could be classified as a trade secret). I think they stress the point that a "trade secret" is a stretchable term.
 
5. The publisher received the NDA on June 20th and was asked to have signed it by June 22nd at the latest - this also tingled their spidy senses
 
I hope that I could shed some light on the matter.
 
Best wishes from Germany and (to LTT: keep up the good work, I'm a big fan!)
 
Stefan
