"Heatsinks for modern processors are slowly getting bigger and bigger, in fact many are too big to fit in a standard case. There is an obvious limit on the amount of metal that you can strap to your core before limitations creep in (motherboard component conflict, case size, weight etc.).

As a result Thermalright have come up with the IFX-14 (Infernal Fire eXtinguisher) which not only supports up to a 14cm fan, but also a backplate cooler. Interesting, but does it actually affect the all-important silicon temperature?"

"Combat is not only challenging to the point of frustration; it's also mindless. There are no active defensive moves, and no skill involved in wielding a weapon. Since you're always inevitable swarmed by enemies, you're left to click the left mouse button until death or victory. Targeting is never accurate, even with a melee weapon, but it doesn't appear to be typical roll-if-the-dice hitpoint depletion either. The lack of consistency had me stepping away from the game after a few attempts at attacking the same bandit encampment, and I nearly lost a keyboard in anger. To make matters worse, the AI has two settings, one for melee enemies - swarm and swing - and one for archers - shoot and run. You'll spend more time chasing cowardly archers across long distances than actually swinging an axe."

PC3-11000? That's right, PC3-11000, or 1375MHz DDR3. PC3-11000 memory seems to be a creation unique to Kingston, a leader in system memory and flash memory products that has been in business since 1987. What they have done reminds me a bit of Spinal Tap, as my initial thought was that they took a 1333MHz module and turned the dial beyond 10, right up to 11.

Half Life games are quite possibly amongst the most revered PC titles of the recent years. And how could they not be? Both the original and its sequel pushed forward the boundaries of FPS story-telling, making players experience the story first hand, not through directed cinematics. That was not all they did however! With great AI, graphics engines that were amongst the prettiest of the generation and some of the most memorable scenes in gaming the two defined what PC gaming was all about. As if all of this wasn’t enough, Valve decided to push the boundaries in content delivery as well, bringing forward Steam and inevitably episodic games. HL2 Episode 1 was not amongst the longest games of last year, but it was without doubt one of the best shooters we had the pleasure of playing. Valve are also well known for learning from their mistakes, so let’s see what Episode 2 has in store for us!

XFX further states we can expect an astounding 15% increase in speed over all other 8800 GTS versions.

“I had high expectations of Titan, especially after the previous G4T turned out to be a decent notebook cooler supporting a wide range of laptops. However, the G5T is less of a notebook cooler, and more just a pair of budget USB speakers. Trying to label this as a notebook cooler seems a bit weird, as it doesn't provide any airflow of its own. Even as a pair of USB speakers, it doesn't provide too much incentive for the end-user.”

"In case you haven't noticed, something sets this cooler apart from practically every other cooler on the market today. It has its heatpipes exposed which allows them to make direct contact with the CPU. This should lead to very efficient cooling as it has removed the need for a solid copper base as a transition layer between the heatpipes and the CPU."

Valve was at the World Cyber Games 07, and they were heavily pushing "The Orange Box" for both the PC and Xbox 360. Not only did the Valve booth feature Half-Life 2 Episode 2 on huge 30-inch PC monitors, but they had several stations where people could experience Team Fortress 2's multiplayer capabilities. I had a chance to chat with some of the folks at Valve, who answered some questions about the game and its new technical prowess.

The Orange Box ships Tuesday at midnight for both the Xbox 360 and PC, and is one of the most anticipated titles this year. The PC version is available via Steam, so there's no need to go stand in line for it. Although there is no "Orange Box" listing on your Steam account, all of the seperates will be listed as available when you purchase The Orange Box online.

Sometimes CoolerMaster has a hit, and sometimes they have a miss, like any company. The CM690 however is most definitely a hit. They managed to somehow fit everything from a full sized tower into a mid, and not sacrifice anything. Not only are you able to fit 2 8800GTX cards in this, the placement of the fans and the case venting all around helps keep the temperature down. There's even room for a few more fans on the side, front, and even the top if you feel this case isn't staying cool enough.

Cooler Master now offers several units with power ratings in excess of 1000W. One of the latest offerings in their Real Power Pro line up 'weighs in' with a 1250W continuous power output, and the ability to hit a maximum of 1375W. Cooler Master provided one of these units for us to evaluate, and we'll do our best to load it up!

Some may like PNY, some may not. Personally, I don't like PNY products. I find its products are cheap looking and appeal to those who want cheap rather than quality.

"In Win is a company that has been around for a long time. Founded in 1986, these folks have been in the business of making enclosures for over 20 years. Granted, back in those ancient times the enclosure was basically a beige colored box, but this is still a very long lived company in terms of computer component manufacturers.

With the advent of more modern looking and accessorized enclosures, In Win has grown with the market and is still offering enclosures that go beyond the basic OEM styling that others are still creating. This brings us to today’s article, a small roundup of three of the current product lineup being offered by In Win. This will include one ATX and two mATX enclosures that offer both looks and features."
