Swiftech Quiet Power P180 Liquid Cooled Barebones System Review 
OCIA :: Wednesday, January 24, 2007
“Swiftech included their extremely popular APOGEE CPU water block with the system and they have already installed and leaked tested the complete cooling system. Unless you have a AMD socket M2, all you’ll need to do is install the block, connect the two hoses and fill the system. If you have an AMD socket M2 based system, you’ll need to switch out the water block’s mounting plate. Swiftech covers this in their instructions and the M2 mount plate is also included in the kit.”
SilverStone NAS NS311
Phoronix :: Wednesday, January 24, 2007
“While SilverStone Technology is primarily known for their high-end selection of PC chassis enclosures and power supplies, last year SilverStone had introduced the Mobile Storage series. At that time we had reviewed the SilverStone Mobile MS02, which was a 2.5″ mobile hard drive enclosure with a USB 2.0 interface. We had found this external 2.5″ HDD enclosure to offer a great deal of features, while being encased inside a stylish aluminum housing. The latest series among SilverStone’s storage products is the NAS series. SilverStone has introduced its first Network Attached Storage (NAS) device! The SilverStone NS311 supports both LAN and USB 2.0 connections and supports a single 3.5″ IDE hard drive.”

Spire Fourier IV Intel/AMD Copper Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review 
Tweaknews :: Wednesday, January 24, 2007
“The Fourier IV is a pretty good cooling solution. Spire’s innovative design and all-copper construction yielded very acceptable, but not outstanding, performance. The cooler has distinctive styling that looks good on a motherboard and can be used fanless, if the heat load is not too high.”
Aerocool Zero Flexi Tower
Pro Clockers :: Wednesday, January 24, 2007
The Aerocool Zero Flexi Tower is slightly bigger than a mid-sized case and smaller than a full-sized unit as well, and while it fills the middle-ground in terms of size, it does have the potential to store all your internal components. Most of all, the Zero provides some very serious cooling. Why we say this? Take a look at the article.

Of course, OCZ could not fall behind, and has introduced a new top end memory module with a totally new design, and we spent some quality time with it, can it beat our reigning overclocking champ?”
TTIC nPowerTek NPH-K8 Big Heatsink Reviewed
Frosty Tech :: Wednesday, January 24, 2007
TTIC nPowerTek NPH-K8 Big Heatsink Reviewed on FrostyTech “The (TTIC) nPowerTek NPH-K8 Big heatsink is a huge low noise cooler, but in fact it’s that large size which allows it to operate without too much noise. The nPowerTek NPH-K8 Big is a deceptively simple combination of heat column and aluminum fins, intended for a Socket 754/939/940 AMD Athlon64 processor near you. At the heart of this heatsink is a huge copper cylinder; this is the heat column. The heat column is a 33mm diameter hollow copper cylinder which is vacuum sealed, creating the ideal environment for a special chemical coating on the inside that “superconducts heat axially at a molecular level.” The technology works on a related concept to traditional heatpipes, but is physically different and should not be confused with the latter.”
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 CPU Quad Core Review
MVK Tech :: Tuesday, January 23, 2007
“Leap ahead, these two words drive focus at Intel. Their job is to find and drive the next leap ahead around technology, education, culture, manufacturing, and more to continuously encourage their customers, partners, consumers, and businesses to join them as they continue to take exciting leaps forward. After the incredible launch of Intel’s Conroe series it’s not too easy to follow that up. But make no mistake as at the end of last year, Intel has launched the world’s first quad core desktop processor. The Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 is based on the new Kentsfield core, and actually features two Core 2 Duo processors packed together in one single chip featuring a total of 8MB of L2 cache.”

PC Basics – Heatsinks and TIMs
PC Apex :: Monday, January 22, 2007
“Heat is actually molecular vibrations in any material and our fingers interpret this vibration as heat. The greater the vibration, the hotter the material is/feels. In order to cool down the material these vibrations need to be dispersed or thinned-out in some way. If you have ever played with a tuning fork, try to think of when you would strike it and let it stop vibrating on its own. If you were to touch the fork, your finger would absorb the vibrations and the humming would stop along with the vibration. This is a very very general example of what your CPU cooler does. It takes the heat (molecular vibrations) generated by your PC’s CPU and disperses it in order to keep the CPU cool and prevent any heat build up which could kill your processor.”

DV Hardware :: Monday, January 22, 2007
“Herman Miller, which you may know from their popular expensive Aeron chairs, has licensed the eCoupled technology from Fulton Innovation. Future office desks from Herman Miller with the eCoupled technology could charge electronic devices that support this technology through a magnetic field. Forget about any wires or adapters, the only thing you’ll need to do with your phone, iPod or PDA will be putting them on your desk.”
