Intel's upcoming Alder Lake CPUs are still a few weeks away from launching, presumably, but there is plenty of related hardware in the wild to keep the leaks flowing. The latest one is an actual photo ...

Igor's Lab is behind the leak, with new drawings of AMD's new AM5 mounting system -- and while Igor didn't reveal who was behind the leak -- the new renders show a very Intel-like locking mechanism.

Intel's next-generation Core Ultra 200 series "Arrow Lake" CPUs will arrive with a brand new LGA-1851 socket, which will receive an optional RL-ILM configuration with improved thermal performance ...

Two LGA sockets support current and future desktop and server microprocessors. The RoHS-compliant LGA771 Socket J accommodates Intel Xeon CPUs, while the LGA775 Socket T supports desktop computers.

Upgrading your motherboard is never a painless affair. Ripping out the guts of your build and swapping them out with all-new parts is time-consuming, and it's also expensive when a new socket is ...

As an enthusiast, you have a great many concerns when moving to a new platform. One of those is what you'll need to do about cooling. Some hardcore types have hundreds of dollars invested in thermal ...

The actual utilisation of the LGA-18XX is something of a complete mystery. However, it’s understood that both Intel’s 12th-gen and 13th-gen CPUs will be sticking with the same socket design, with some ...

They try a few different washer thicknesses to raise the ILM frame and reduce/redistribute pressure, they find 1.0mm thick ones work best, and end up with a healthy 5C (actually 5.76C) improvement at ...

AMD is definitely going a different route for their next-gen Ryzen CPUs. A leaked render of the AM5 socket has surfaced, and it looks very similar to that of a typical Intel socket. And rightfully so, ...
