Here are some sites that i go to frequently for web news, overclocking information, hardware reviews and info, and just general geek knowledge. Enjoy!
- Anandtech - Good site with reviews on hardware, daily web news updates, in depth articles on hardware and technology. I check the forums often for information.
- HardOCP - Another good site with hardware reviews and articles, but takes a more edgy and humorous view on things. Updated often (ive seen 5 updates in one day!) Also has good discussions in their forums.
- ArsTechnica - All around good reviews and articles on new hardware and computer technology.
- Overclockers - Some good articles and guides to overclocking. Not as much diverse content as the 3 sites above. Most useful part of this site is the CPU database - people put in their CPU information, and you can see what speeds/voltages they are overclocking their CPUs to - find out *YOUR* CPU's potential! You can also search/sort by a number of different variables (speed/manufacturing plant/S code).
- Tom's Hardware - Good guides on many different hardware topics.
- Tweak3D - GOOD tutorials on how to tweak out and get the best performance from your system: Hardware/Operating Systems/Gaming. Some articles and reviews.
- Heatsink Guide - Has a lot of information about CPU cooling, case cooling, and any other cooling you could think of. Some good reviews and comparisons of products as well.
Below are some good articles that I have bookmarked, and figured I would share with all of you. If you care about overclocking or computers or just want more knowledge, read on...
