Gainward CoolFX Review @ ModFathers
Published: Thursday, September 11, 2003 | By: DennisAt around the time the GeForce FX5800 hit the market Gainward began hinting at a slick new watercooling system for the super hot video card. ModFathers just happens to have a review of the system along with some detailed photos.
I couldn't help but notice that the whole kit seemed a little familiar, some further checks confirmed it, everything except for the waterblocks are from innovatek. Not very creative but it gets the job done.

Published: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 | By: DennisThe Gainward Ultra 760XP isn't what we would call an ultra gamer's video card but it does fill a pretty important gap for the mainstream system builder or weekend gamer in search of an affordable upgrade.

Father of H-bomb Dies
Published: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 | By: Dennis"Some might not agree with his intensity and politics and so forth, but everyone respected him," Bob Kuckuck, a former lab deputy director, said Tuesday evening. "You couldn't interact with Edward without feeling he was three or four magnitudes deeper than you were on an issue."
Now that is one smart cookie, he will be missed. -

COOLINK Cool Tank1 Review @ MadShrimps
Published: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 | By: Dennis"When I opened the side-panel of the Superflower case I saw a drop in CPU load temperature to 40°C, shortly followed by a noticeable slow-down of the CPU fan, which then only produced a medium humming noise. When running at full speed it is considerably louder and can't really be called a "silent" solution."
The cool thing about this heatsink is that they put the thermal probe in the right spot, smack dab in the center of the heatsink and far away from the fan. -
PolarFLO Water Block Review @ Systemcooling
Published: Tuesday, September 9, 2003 | By: DennisSystemcooling is looking at the 3-port water block called the PolarFLO. Maybe it is just me but this new design appears to be getting quite popular.
"The PolarFLO is an impressive looking block, and the quality of machining rivals some of the mainstream manufacturer products out there. It definitely rates high in appearance for exterior fit and finish. The base checked flat with my machinist straight edge and upon removal I found a good imprint in the thermal compound from the CPU die." -
Mission II water Cooling @ GideonTech
Published: Tuesday, September 9, 2003 | By: Dennis"For the test, I will be using my media server. It houses over 500GB of storage space for music and movies, outputted to my home theatre system. The CPU is a P4 1.6a capable of running at a nice 133FSB (2.1Ghz)."
Its not very smart to overclock a server since data corruption is such a common occurrence, but to each their own. -
ThermoChill Water Block Review @ ModFathers
Published: Monday, September 8, 2003 | By: DennisI've started paying a little more attention to waterblocks and certain water cooling kits and the 3 port models really intrigue me. Basically you have in inlet port that dumps water directly over where the processor core is with the outlet ports being near the edges on opposite sides. Quite a few companies are building blocks like this and each one is slightly different.
"The three chrome barbs are hard to miss, with the two outer ones leaning drunkenly. This is not bad drilling, but a design feature; it it to aid the smooth exit of the water." -
Athenatech A100SC M-ATX Case Review @ MonkeyReview
Published: Monday, September 8, 2003 | By: Dennis"Once I removed the A100SC from the packaging, I quickly noticed the very nicely done silver finish, which in my opinion is one of the nicer ones that I’ve seen."
Ya it looks good,
*sigh*
NEXT!
