KuFormula VF1 Plus VGA Cooler
Bjorn 3d :: Thursday, Octover 26, 2006
In this review I will utilize the KuFormula VF1 Plus VGA cooler to tame the burning desire my video card has to combust into flames. While there are at least dozens of various aftermarket VGA cooling solutions available at the time of this writing, it seems Sytrin has introduced something that stands out as unique and different in a sea of similarity. Using copper-based heatsink with dual heatpipes, the KuFormula VF1 is a formidable cooling solution on its own, add to it the radial fan system and anodized aluminum RAM heatsinks, and you have yourself one superior package for your VGA space heater.

Do NOT do this with LN2 (Liquid Nitrogen)
Madbox PC :: Thursday, Octover 26, 2006
Many extreme overclockers use LN2 for their systems, but it’s dangerous and can hurt you. Well, if you have LN2 you can also do funny things (but it’s still dangerous). See what can you do with LN2 that can be dangerous. You can extinguish a BBQ, cold some coctails (but dry ice is better doing that), freeze some objects to break them and many other things, we also show how to not use a thermal probe in a LN2 dewar and things like that..
NaturalPoint TrackIR 4:PRO
techFEAR :: Thursday, Octover 26, 2006
“NaturalPoint adds a level of in-game immersion with the TrackIR 4:PRO allowing users to control a game character’s head with slight real-world head movements. Is this the way gaming should be or is the TrackIR 4:PRO another gimmick?”

Crucial has been known for their quality memory, great prices, and fast shipping.

Nvidia’s nForce 590 SLI chipset for Intel processors
The Tech Report :: Thursday, Octover 26, 2006
ALTHOUGH THE nForce 590 SLI chipset for Athlon 64 processors was launched in step with AMD’s Socket AM2, Nvidia has taken its sweet time bringing the nForce 590 to Intel processors. The chipset was nowhere to be found when Intel unveiled its Core 2 Duo back in July, and although the 590 SLI was scheduled to eventually appear in August, Nvidia delayed that launch twice and eventually scrubbed it altogether. These delays sent the rumor mills spinning, but more importantly, they left Nvidia without a true next-generation chipset for Intel’s new microarchitecture.

Inno3D GeForce 7900GS SLI Review![]()
PC Modding Malaysia :: Thursday, Octover 26, 2006
“The card ran reasonably cool and much of it contributed to the massive overclock achieved with the stock cooling. With almost 50% overall overclock right out of the box, the Inno3D 7900GS is surely not a slacker. You will want to overclock it especially when you understand that it uses 1.4ns Hynix memory ICs. Overclocking was fun and easy with this one but we frankly jumped when it outperformed the 7950GX2 beast. In all of our benchmarks, the overclocked Inno3D 7950GX2 was easily faster than the rich man’s 7950GX2. If you want to taste some 7950GX2, then get a pair of these Inno3D 7900GS babies, overclock them and you are good to go. By the way, you can always smile at your 7950GX2 buddies and tell them that you’ve got the same performance for about 100 bucks less!”

This isn’t the largest heatsink fan I have reviewed, but it is the first with six separate heat-pipes and a set of two cooling fins. Does this design lead to better cooling? Well, the numbers in the testing don’t lie. The Tt Typhoon VX was only a few degrees Celsius above a TEC cooler.”
