Sorry, I just had to.  

That's a made up word.

AESTHETIC MODS.

 

Because changing the look of something is easy. But you can't make a Pentium perform like a 7980XE.

Well according to Gamers Nexus testing, there is very little performance difference between overclocking all cores to 4.0 GHz vs stock, where XFR controls clocks. You are just going to burn up way more power with manual oc.

 

Anything over all cores @ 4.0 GHz would be insanity anyway for the work load you would be doing. In this light I see little sense to overclock TR at all when XFR can boost some cores to 4,2 GHz automatically - expect some benchmark adventures...

If only GN and everyone else overclocked it correctly via P states, that way you get to KEEP your XFR range AND overclock but no whack 40 in the multiplier and call it a day.

Umm.  That's nothing more than their standard Supremacy Evo block with a TR4 bracket added.

 

I really expected them to design a new rectangular shaped block that covered the whole IHS.  The current one will cover a lot of it, but that's including using the area of the base plate screw holes too which is useless.  

It's a small amount bigger actually.

Man, one thing I always hated about my Supremacy EVO block was the bracket.  I remove the block a lot and due to their shitty design compared to the likes of Aquacomputer, every time I remove the thumb screws, the spring acts alike a sandpaper on the bracket and shaves off filings onto my board.  I have to clean the shit up every time I pull a block.  With the Kyros NEXT, the spring and screw go directly into the mounting spots for my 2011 v3 socket.  I don't need to add anything else and no more shavings.

 

Oh and the block looks sexy as fuck.  

 

 

 

But it's not plexi  would have bought a heatkiller if I could have but I couldn't find any plexi ones in stock so I went with the Supremacy Evo for like half the price lol. As for looks, watercooling is the only time I sort of disagree

At the end of the day, all I really care about is how it performs.  The way something looks is always a very distant second.

800W HERE WE COME!!!! 

 

4x8-pin CPU power.

5.2ghz on LN2 from AMD.  Makes me wonder what my 720mm rad setup could do.
