    Scythe's New Mine 2 HSF Has Eight Heatpipes

    eklipz330if two heat pipes are trying to offset heat more than the other heatpipes, those heatsinks should be larger The heatspreader on a CPU distributes the heat fairly evenly so this shouldn't really be necessary, but more importantly these heatsinks have to cater for all different kinds of...

    Ferrari Speeds Into Netbook Race

    christopDid the emblem on the front add to the price?Absolutely. Why do you think Macs are so expensive? It certainly isn't anything to do with more advanced hardware.

    QuakeCon: Where is Doom 4?

    marracoDoom 3 surprised me, by being the only game I ever played, capable of raise my nerves, when played at dark room with headphones. I take it you've never played System Shock 2 then. Doom 3's 'atmosphere' was little more than cheap slasher film type scare tactics. Sorry but monsters jumping...

    Nvidia Takes $119.1 M Charge for Faulty GPUs

    IzzyCraftI don't think with comma's and periods so why should i write any different periods are auto done i don't actually hit them usually. You're missing the point entirely. Punctuation is used to make your writing easier for others to understand. Of course, if you don't actually want people...

    QOTD: Have You Ever Hacked Anything?

    Throughout my 2 years at college we had access to every password on our mac network and used them to hide network games etc. on the servers. They were always looking for over-complex ways of how we were doing it, never thought to look for the obvious answer... walk into the head of computing's...

    Apple: Netbooks Don't Deserve Mac Brand

    Ha! I knew Apple were quite far up their own a**es but I actually think this time they've completely disappeared!

    QOTD: Do You Subscribe to Tech Magazines?

    I subscribe to both PC Zone and PC Format, mostly because I like to flick through magazines. Also, sometimes it's nice to have someone else collate all the interesting information for you.

    Intel Sending out 32nm 'Westmere' Samples

    SuckRavenHa!!! The joke is on Intel. I have skipped over all of their interim processors, waiting for the perfect chance to jump on a new CPU. When I upgrade later this year, I am going straight from my still-fully functioning 600MHz Pentium III (Coppermine core) running on an Iwill VD133Pro...

    Intel Sending out 32nm 'Westmere' Samples

    DmercThat is some serious cash Intel is spending. Wonder what the cost of the CPU is going to be when it comes out. Fairly competitive probably. The amount of cash they're spending on R&D and manufacturing shouldn't have any affect on the sale price. It's just an investment to be recouped.

    Do New Drivers Really Boost Performance?

    The assumption that 25fps is enough is not the full story for games. Yes a minimum of 25fps is enough for fluid movement if you're watching something like a film or if you're just stood there watching the scenery but as soon as you move that mouse quickly to look in a different direction, THEN...
