The Glitch - A Friend in Computing

The Glitch was conceived during 2004, and started out simply as a site to assist people with computer problems. Today the site has grown considerably and has become a one-stop shop for many aspects of modern computing and communication


PROCESSORS & COOLERS

The Glitch endorses Intel processors. The price/performance ratio of Intel processors is very good these days, thus it is very difficult to recommend other manufacturers.

Intel
Core i7
(LGA1156)

  Nehalem is a radically new design for Intel: for the first time, the CPU is a 'native' quad-core CPU, where all four cores sit on the same piece of silicon. With its Core 2 CPUs, Intel used two dual-Core dies to create a quad-core chip, this translates into better performance. Nehalem features Level 3 cache, something first seen on earlier Xeon server chips, but Intel Core i7s will feature up to a massive 8MB (shared between all four cores). Each of Nehalem's four cores has 256KB of lower-latency Level 2 cache. Nehalem uses Hyper-Threading. This technology works just as it did with the Pentium 4, using spare resources of a processing core to try to execute a second process thread. This means that a quad-core Nehalem processor can accept and attempt to process eight threads simultaneously, making it even more massively parallel than the current Core 2 Quad CPUs.

Startech
Silver
Thermal Paste

  StarTech.com silver thermal transfer compound improves the effectiveness of CPU coolers by thermally bonding the CPU to the heatsink. StarTech.com chose this substance to put into the heat-grease because silver is one of the best conductors of heat known. Silver grease is twice as effective as standard silicon-based heat-grease. Negligible electrical conductivity. Silvgrease1 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.
