Hyte Thicc Q60

TAKE A LOOK at the Hyte Thicc Q60, and you might come to the conclusion that this is an all-in-one liquid cooler that pushes appearance over performance. That’s not strictly true, however. Yes, the Q60 is adorned with a 5-inch screen, a litany of RGB LEDs, and some tidy cabling, but there’s also a chunky CPU cooler beneath it all.

The Q60 is a big beast. It comes with a radiator double as thick as some, coming in at 52mm. That’s reportedly to use space that’s not often utilized to its fullest in modern PC cases, according to Hyte— it’s opting for a thicker radiator in the place of a longer one.

The Q60 is billed as a 240mm radiator on account of the two 120mm Thicc FP12 fans included, but it’s actually 288mm from top to bottom. The remaining space is taken up by the pump, which takes residence on the radiator rather than in the more traditional spot behind the cold plate. The benefit of this, for the Q60 at least, is more room for the enormous screen above the CPU.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?

WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?

Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation

EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
