Wet dream heatsink @ Voidedwarranty.
No more taking the panel off of your case just to change the speed settings of your HSF. I would like to give some props to Cooler Master for this new design. Good work guys... Even if I did think of it first. Right...
Some alloy bezels and stuff.
Cooler Master has developed two specific types of RAM chip coolers, which consist of an all copper, and all aluminium based solution. Each package contains 8 ram chip coolers in total measuring approximately 22mm (W) x 8mm (L) x 5mm (H). The chip coolers have been designed to be universal and used in a wide variety of applications which include RAM cooling, GPU video card cooling as well as motherboard chipset cooling. Cooler Master has advised that these kits should meet all heat dissipation requirements for current and future RAM chips currently on the market. Consumers contemplating the use of these kits should measure their existing components prior to purchase.
Connect3D Radeon 9700 Pro. My R9500 Pro should be here tomorrow!
Today I'm not going to be reviewing an ATI card; I'm going to be reviewing an ATI based card made by Connect3D. This key difference reflects a shift in focus for ATI, who traditionally have designed and produced their own boards from start to finish. This was in contrast to NVIDIA, who designed GPUs, and then licensed those designs to third party producers.
Flashy colors mousy thing.
The Grast 24 is a translucent optical mini-mouse. Like most optical mini-mice, it works on any surface and at any angle. Because it's translucent, you can see the glow of the optical laser. Its fun feature is the ability to change the laser's color. Pick from any one of 24 colors just by holding down the mouse button. Or, have the mouse constantly cycle through its palette. Thanks to a hidden switch, the choice is yours.
i845PE Albatron.
The mainboard is extremely stable in the configurations we tested it. Right now it is running constantly overclocked with a 150 MHz FSB. As a result of such overclocking (and any P4 can do this FSB easily) we can enable turbo mode in the BIOS which made our memory run at 400 MHz (you need specific DDR400 compatible memory for that) we see results that are really awesome as memory bandwidth passes 3000MB/sec.
VIA vs nVidia and Epox.
For now, it is safe to say that nVidia has taken the crown of AMD chipset leader from VIA. I do not foresee any KT400 motherboard beating out an equivalent nForce2 offering in the near future. Until VIA releases its KT400A early next year, I don't realistically believe the performance title in the AMD-based sector will even "maybe" change hands.
