Intel Core i9-10850K

Shortly after the 10th Generation Core platform’s initial launch, AMD too updated Ryzen with higher clocked “XT” versions of its 3600, 3800, and 3900 to better compete with the high clocks Intel was able to achieve with its Comet Lake solutions.

Intel Core i9-10850K

Core i9-10850K is indeed very similar, and it’s actually simpler to delineate the differences between it and the Core i9-10900K than underscore similarities. The 10850K offers 100MHz less frequency on base, boost, and TVB speeds, which come in at 3.6GHz, 5.1GHz and 5.2GHz, respectively. TVB kicks in if the cooling solution is robust enough to keep load temperature below 70°C.

GIGABYTE RTX 3080 Eagle OC 10G

I think a lot of people expected Nvidia to pull something similar off with the RTX30 -series but so far what we’ve got is far more appealing. Today I am reviewing the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Eagle OC. As the name implies this is a factory overclocked RTX3080 that also comes with  the Windforce E 3X Cooling System with alternate spinning fans.

Inno3D sent over their radically-unique GeForce RTX 3080 iCHILL X3 graphics card for review, which I quickly ripped out of the box and had it in my test bed in minutes. It’s one of the most unique looking RTX 3080s so far, with great performance.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XII EXTREME

The Maximus XII Extreme is coated mostly in black, with a prominent white strip that runs diagonally from the rear I/O panel to the chipset heatsink. This line stands out more after you power up the board; doing so activates a line of RGB LEDs that runs parallel to it. You’ll also spot another string of RGB LEDs tracing down the right side of the board.

ASUS Not Supporting Ryzen 5000 Series on X470?

While AMD noted that the 5000 Series processors should be supported by the legacy X470 chipset, it would appear ASUS may not be on board. There are a few articles floating around where a customer reached out and was informed by ASUS that they would not be supporting the 5000 Series on X470, and of course, told the customer to purchase a new board. One can hope this customer last approach is corrected, but only time will tell.
