This issue we're going sexy, we're going tech, we're going... SILICON.

Yep, issue 124 is all about the little bit of silicon that pumps out the computing power in your rig. We've got a special feature on the future of processor technology, and what might one day replace silicon, hardware reviews of Intel's latest 990X processor - hint: it's a BEAST - and GIGABYTE's giant new G1.Assassin motherboard, and a special guide to overclocking the living daylights of Intel's better late than never Sandy Bridge chipset.

And that's on top of all our usual hardware and games reviews, including Crysis 2, Homefront, Shogun 2 and much more.
