8 Years Later: Does the GeForce GTX 580 Still Have Game in 2018?
This seemed like a pretty good title. We all know about the GTX 580 and how it has been around for awhile and at the time it was a pretty powerful GPU. EVGA also released what some would call the BEST overclocking video card using the GTX 580 GPU and it stands today as the only card with a fully unlocked BIOS. I will also admit that one of the only 4-way SLI systems I have ever run was with GTX 580 cards. Two reference cards and two MSI Lightning cards.
Despite having to use two 1200w power supplies and some crazy big fans to ensure cool air was getting into the coolers it was pretty damn fun.
Today we're turning our clocks all the way back to November 2010 to revisit the once mighty GeForce GTX 580, a card that marked the transition from 55nm to 40nm for Nvidia's high-end GPUs and helped the company sweep its Fermi-based GeForce GTX 480 under the rug.
Oh yes, the GTX 480, that was a monster of hottness and not the good kind. People joked that you could fry an egg on the heatsink and even posted pictures of it happening. Turn the cooling fan off on any GPU and you too could fry eggs.

der8auer Skylake-X Direct Die Frame
Some of you may remember when regularly did competitive overclocking. While I didn't get famous from the exercise it was super fun and one of the many things I do to promote Hardware Asylum. (well, at the time, Ninjalane)
The LN2 container I used was designed and built by der8auer and was amply named "BEAST". It is a raw copper container with a short aluminum extension. It was "fast" and generally worked extremely well. Since then der8auer expanded his LN2 container designs and started working for CaseKing as a product developer.
His latest design, the Skylake-X Direct Die Frame, is a marvel of engennering and allows you to properly run your Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors without a lid.
We have all heard about delidding which is the process of removing the Intel heatspreader to replace the thermal compound. This can often lower processor temperatures and is a needed upgrade for LN2 overclocking.
With this device you can remove the lid completely and mount your heatsink directly on the die. This can lower processor temperatures by 5-10c over delidding alone and even more when you consider a stock LGA 2066.
Rumor is these will be sold on Amazon at some point but are currently available at CaseKing assuming you live in Europe.

Sennheiser sets new audiophile standard with launch of HD 820
THE GAME CHANGER for closed-back Audiophile headphones
Wedemark/Las Vegas, 8 January 2018 – Sennheiser is redefining the limits of audiophile sound – with the new HD 820 which will first be showcased at CES. The closed-back dynamic stereo headphones deliver astonishingly transparent sound, thanks to a unique glass transducer cover that minimizes resonances – an innovation that ensures an incredibly realistic and natural sound field.
With a more than 70-year history of setting performance standards in sound, Sennheiser is once again redrawing the map with the creation of the HD 820. The new circumaural dynamic stereo headphones shatter expectations of what was thought possible from a closed-back model and set a new benchmark in sound quality for this type of design.
“Whether on the move, at work or at home, the passionate audiophile will always want to appreciate their music to the full,” said Axel Grell, Portfolio Management Consumer at Sennheiser. “Usually, high-end headphones require an open-back design, which has placed limits on where you can enjoy true audiophile sound. The HD 820 is a game changer that delivers exceptional sound while insulating the listener from their environment. I consider them to be the most transparent-sounding closed-back headphones in the world.”
The HD 820 establishes a new reference standard for its class, with an incredibly realistic and natural sound field. This breakthrough performance has been achieved through a special innovation: Over each of the legendary Sennheiser Ring Radiator transducers are unique glass covers. Revealing the acoustics within, the patent-pending curved Gorilla glass serves to reflect the sound waves from the rear of the transducer to two absorber chambers, which results in minimal resonance.
Engineering an unparalleled listening experience
Manufactured in Germany, the headphones feature a robust metal headband with an inner damping element, and silver-cladded OFC cables and gold-plated plugs. Meanwhile, the ear pads have been handcrafted from high-quality non-allergic synthetic leather and microfiber to cushion and insulate the listener from ambient noise. Together, these carefully selected components and materials delight every sense while producing an unparalleled listening experience.Complete the Sennheiser audiophile experience
Sennheiser’s HDV 820 amplifier for dynamic headphones is the perfect companion to the HD 820. With its consistently symmetrical signal processing and extremely low harmonic distortion, the amplifier ensures unadulterated and perfect music enjoyment when paired with audiophile headphones. A specially tuned symmetrical, impedance matching cable with low capacitance is included with the HD 820 to guarantee seamless performance from this audiophile duo.Sennheiser’s HDV 820 amplifier for dynamic headphones is the perfect companion to the HD 820.
Both HD 820 and HDV 820 feature Pentaconn connectors – the new standard for balanced outputs. This offers a lower contact resistance than all other connections for headphones to produce minimal distortion and a more transparent sound reproduction.
The new HD 820 will be available from early summer 2018 for 2,399 EUR/2,399.95 USD (MSRP).
CES 2018 takes place in Las Vegas from January 9 to 12. To experience and learn more about HD 820 and other product news, visit Sennheiser in South Hall 1, Booth 20606.

Mining XMR Monero With AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Cards @ Legit Reviews
Funny how GPU mining has spread, even hardware review sites are getting onboard and a quick look at the Disqus comments proves that zealots in the crypto world are taking notice. Sadly, only to poke holes in whatever is being reported by quoting and sending people to "other" websites.
For instance, consider this interaction (not a direct quote)
Some Reader: "Oh hey, ya saw your review of the EVGA DG-77, how is the cooling?"
My Reply: "Good man, I didn't see any reason to be concerned"
Some Reader: "Well, this video I watched on YouTube says the cooling sucks so you have to be wrong because everything on YouTube is correct"
Me: *shakes head*First of all. Why bother asking me how the cooling is when you are already convinced that it is bad because of a YouTube video. On top of that the video in question is more of an opinion piece than a review where they have NOTHING good to say about the product. In that environment, yes the author will do whatever they can to make it look bad.
Second, the case has a F*uk1n glass plate over the fans!! What do you expect? Open air cooling performance?? Pfft use your brain people.
Oh.. getting back to the article at Legit Reviews. Seems good. You (s|c)ould check it out. In fact here is a super confusing quote to help seal the deal.
AMD Radeon RX Vega graphics cards do very well on the CryptoNight proof-of-work algorithm and miners are using them to mine Monero, Electroneum, Sumokoin, Bytecoin and Karbo. This is because the profitability is better on those coins than Ethereum that uses the Ethash proof-of-work algorithm. It’s tough to find an AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 graphics card due to this. That is why we turned to the readily available AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition to do some manual labor in the mines.
Whoa, talk about keywords.
At one point I considered adding CryptoMining to my video card benchmarks however the numbers change based on the difficutly making it pretty inaccurate. 2k Hashes (or whatever) might be realistic at the time of the review but, a week later that might drop due to difficulity increases. Heck framebutter size can impact performance where the miner will simply stop if the hash gets too big. #TWSS
