Let's be honest, CPU coolers are not usually the most exciting product in the world. We all need one, or two, and the quieter the better. Many users also want to ensure that the performance of their cooler allows them to reduce the CPU temperature as much as possible and maybe even dabble in some overclocking without risking the processors long term health. There are of course enthusiast users who want to get as much performance as possible out of their components and for that they require some serious cooling. These are exactly the users that CoolIT are targeting with their pre-plumbed and factory sealed Freezone Elite which makes use of maintenance refrigerated liquid. For the beginner enthusiast or more price conscious user the Pure CPU cooler shares many of the same components as the Elite and we will be taking a look at both products today. http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=546 ---------- Allan "Zardon" Campbell HEAVEN MEDIA GROUP BA/BSc (Honours) Digital Art and Technology BA (Honours), Graphic and Media Design (Typo/Graphic Design) <http://www.driverheaven.net/>Driver Heaven (Editorial Director) - The Net's No1 Technology Support Site <http://gaming.driverheaven.net/>Gaming Heaven (Editorial Director) - Whatever you game on, Game on GH! <http://drivercleaner.net/>Driver Cleaner <http://driverheavendownloads.net/>Driver Heaven Downloads Direct Line - Blackberry: 07771610590 Skype ID: allan_driverheaven Company Registration Number: 4019815 VAT Number: GB879288744

Hello fellow editors! Tech ARP ( http://www.techarp.com/ <http://www.techarp.com/>'>http://www.techarp.com/> ) has just posted the Counterfeit Intel Boxed Processors. Quote - Everyone knows that Intel retail processors not only come with a certified cooler but also a much longer warranty. However, you must first be sure that you have a genuine retail processor. Some greedy retailers have been selling counterfeit Intel boxed (retail) processors to make more money. So be sure to check out this handy guide on how to spot a genuine Intel boxed processor and avoid the counterfeit units. Here's a quote from the article :- "To get an even better price from Intel, many OEMs and system assemblers order tray processors in bulk. They do not make use of all of these processors so a large number find their way into the DIY markets. Howevere, that is not the problem."

Hello, MSI GX600 Performance Laptop Review "MSI laptops are becoming more popular with good reason, offering excellent performance at competitive prices. Their latest gaming laptop comes with retro style Turbo button which overclocks the CPU on the fly. Equipped with 8600M GT and 2Gb ram this multimedia power house aims to impress." http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=804 __________________ Thank you in advance for posting,

Hi! We just finished our latest review. This time we took a closer look at Xigmatek's latest heatpipe coolers with Direct Touch Technology. From the article: "A few years back some aftermarket cooler manufacturers introduced copper core- and full copper heatsinks to the world of CPU-cooling. Copper is better at conducting heat than aluminum, so this was a logical step forward. It's also known that heatpipes get the job done even better than pure copper ones, so why not remove the copper base completely? Now we're going to take a look at couple of coolers that do exactly that."

Priced at $349.00 it's replacing the 8800GTX that will most probably now go EOL (End OF Life) due to the fact that it is currently priced $10.00 more than the 9800GTX. Personally I think this is a bit of April foolery on the end users as the 9800GTX is a good card, but it should have been released as a different version of an 8800, not a new nomenclature altogether. NVIDIA has to have something more noteworthy up their sleeves, but with PC games on the wane maybe this is a turning point for the industry at large and their focus is on the next generation console systems. XFX makes good products and this card is just that a good product, but not a great one. I would buy a pair of XFX 9600GT 740m cards that are priced at $169.00 each and run them in an SLI configuration if my budget was in the $350 - $400 range as they outperform both the 800GTX and 9800GTX when ran in a single card situation. That's my take on all this so until later folks. . Review Link: http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/hardware/1763_1.html

Frontlines: Fuel of War (PC, Xbox 360) Review ( -at -) [OC]ModShop Taken from the pages of today's headlines Frontlines: Fuel of War is an edgy and topical action game that sets new standards for the genre. Set in the near future, the world is facing a crisis of doomsday proportions due to the severe lack of energy and oil available. With chaos and utter collapse of cities and society everywhere, two factions have formed who battle one another for the last remaining energy resources on the planet. Players take on the role of a soldier from the Western Coalition as they battle the Red Star Alliance which is comprised of Russia and China. As the game starts, players enter a battle in a desolate area which is one of the last remaining sources of oil, and as such, is hotly contested by both sides. Using mission objectives, players battle to various areas of the map to defeat enemy troops and obtain strategic objectives. Along the way, all manner of high end weapons and vehicles are available for use. I particularly enjoyed the flying drone unit, that when deployed, allowed me to fly it to a strategic point in the enemy's defenses and detonate with spectacular results.

Fedora is fortunate to have over 140 volunteer mirror sites globally, which helps distribute the Fedora software to hundreds of thousands of users. We greatly appreciate our mirror sites and their system administrators. In preparation for the Fedora 9 release, I would like to add additional public mirrors, particularly in areas where we have large numbers of users, but few mirrors: China, India, Africa, and Brazil among them. For comparison: Users: http://fedoraproject.org/maps/mirrorlist/ Mirrors: http://fedoraproject.org/maps/mirrors/ If your organization would like to contribute to the Fedora Project in the form of a public mirror, please see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastucture/Mirroring for instructions.
