professionally packaged and
presented CPU pots before. The
craftsmanship is stunning and the
performance speaks for itself under
the hands of the man behind the
pots himself. Once again CPU pots
have everything to do with your
style and kind of overclocking as the
performance is generally going to
be the same. Pick your poison, ours
is the Fusion.
K|NGP|N Cooling Tek 9(s): There’s
no need to go further here, we
naturally lean towards the Tek-9
Slim rev 7.0 for multi-GPU action or
the Tek-9 Fat 6.0. Many other pots
exist which are probably as good,
but these have proved themselves
time and time again.
CORSAIR H Series: Short of custom
water loops, they don’t get much
better than these. Pick whichever
one for your quick and dirty testing
before you go cold. Personal
favorite is the H105, even simpler
to install. Binning CPUs under “air
cooling” is made incredibly simple
by the mounting mechanism. It’s
purely because of convenience here,
and not necessarily performance
we pick the CORSAIR Hydro series
coolers.
POWER
CORSAIR AX1500i: There hasn’t
been a finer PSU. This is the one to
buy, that’s all there is to it!
BENCH TABLE
DimasTech Test Table Easy V3.0:
From Mini-ITX to XL-ATX, all boards
are supported. Makes like a lot
simpler than using flimsy make shit
test beds. This is the one to own or
any of the other DimasTech tables if
you prefer.
