Cooler Master Aero 7+ Review @ Overclockers Club
Published: Wednesday, September 3, 2003 | By: DennisI rather enjoyed this heatsink though the silence was almost deafening.
"The base of the heat sink is very similar (if not identical) to that of the X-Dream SE heat sink, and as with the various models of the X-Dream, the Aero 7+ includes a much shorter mounting clip. CoolerMaster doesn't have the best lapping process that I've ever seen, however they still do a good job."
Check out our review of the Cooler Master Aero 7+ for comparison. -

Major Suppliers to Show Off High-End GPUs @ Computex
Published: Tuesday, September 2, 2003 | By: Dennis"Nvidia plans to introduce two graphics processors – the NV38 for the high-end market and NV36 for the mid-range and high-end markets – at Computex 2003, according to sources.
It is unclear whether ATI Technologies will display its new R360 chips during the show, but many industry observers say the company should not miss the opportunity in the competition between the world’s two largest graphics solution providers."
I think Computex will have quite a few introductions this year. -

Eight new Glacialtech coolers @ radikalmod
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 | By: DennisI had the opportunity to meet Glacialtech at Comdex last year and plan to meet with them again at Computex later this month.
"An interesting solution: the center part of the heat sink is thicker than the external areas. A higher amount of heat coming from below will leave the heat sink on the dominant outer fins." -
Gainward FX 5200 Powerpack Review @ ModFathers
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 | By: DennisAre you looking for a good inexpensive card to run that second monitor with, well the FX 5200 PCI might be just what you are looking for. (even though ANY pci card will work
)
"Though this will not be why most people will get this card. For those of you who use multi-screens, you will understand when I say that it amazes me that people can function on only one."
I agree, and until a nice 23" LCD is available for a reasonable price the dual monitor desktop is here to stay. -
Mushkin PC3200 Level II Review @ Extreme Overclocking
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 | By: Dennis"The memory uses copper heat spreaders with the Mushkin Logo to help dissipate the heat generated by the chips. Many enthusiasts feel that heat spreaders greatly aid in overclocking, but in our experience, we have had about the same results with or without heat spreaders unless extreme voltages like 3V+ are applied. This is only from our experiences though and may differ for other users. If the heat spreaders are removed, it will void the warranty and we highly recommend not removing them unless you really want to waste a lifetime warranty."
Yes it is official, heatspreaders don't do anything to help performance but they do look sweet and give a little sense of security when installing the modules.

FX5600Ultra vs Radeon9600Pro @ Digital Daily
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 | By: DennisHere is a little performance review for the curious few. The review is a little on the short side but has some pretty pictures.
"As our tests will show, the original version of the 5600Ultra was unable to perform on par with Radeon 9600 Pro, so another version offering increased core speed was released, and we'll refer to it as the NV31 new core. " -
Gigabyte GA-8S648FX Review @ Legit Reviews
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 | By: Dennis"I honestly don't see a big market for this SiS 648FX board in the lifespan of the Intel P4 "C" processors. It just does not offer the kind of performance you get with the I865/I875 chipsets and their Dual-Channel Memory support."
I am not sure what to think of this board. It isn't designed with an overclocker in mind and doesn't appear to offer anything that you can't already get with an i845PE. So I think the quote sums everything up.
