As do many other overclockers, I spend more time than I like to think about browsing hardware sites. So I have real affection for a site that makes it easy. One that loads fast and, most importantly, doesn’t make me
SUMMARY: The Golden Orb is a capable heatsink and the PIII version should be a standout performer. NATA Computers was kind enough to send me an advance sample of the new PIII Golden Orb. We tested the Socket 370 version
UPDATE 4/28/00 I purchased a CeleMine 533A from PC NUT and received it this AM – readers are asking how the Celeron IIs compare to the original Celerons, and so I compared it to a C433 running at 542 MHz
SUMMARY: Copper does perform better compared to Aluminum – copper’s cooling efficiency also enables smaller size compared to aluminum units. I received water blocks from BE Cooling, 2 Cool Computer and Cool Chip to evaluate. The BE Cooling unit is
UPDATE 5/13/00 Big Lar found another use for the fridge – chilling results! 4/27/00 It all started a while back actually, with a P3 450 Katmai, but that’s another story. I run the PIII 650E Slot 1 CPU on an
Facts: World PC Demand in 2000: Figure 30-35 million for each of the first three quarters of 2000; 35-40 million for 4Q 2000. Projected Athlon production in 2000: 1Q 2000: 1.2 million Athlons 2Q 2000: 1.8 million Athlons 3Q 2000:
I haven’t written in a while because I’ve been involved in a rather major comparison between the two major RAID cards on the market and finding out all sorts of strange things about benchmarks and OSs. You’ll see the results
My setup: CASE: I have an EAGLE tool-less case, with TWO 80MM INTAKE FANS at the bottom, TWO 80MM EXHAUST FANS at the top. Average case temp is 23C. POWER SUPPLY: 450 WATT SERVER with TWO 80MM FANS of its
Duke sent the following pics showing how he used readily available parts to build an inexpensive (I’ll confirm, but I would guess less than $50) but effective water cooled system. Damn fine job. Hardware consists of an Abit BE-6 and
What follows is a deliberate attempt to abrade a PIII CPU to its core – in no way will I be responsible for any one who applies this to their own CPU in an attempt to lap a PIII and
