UPDATE: How to Remove the Greenie Dumb of me not to include this. If you look at what holds it on, there are usually 2 nylon push-pins with small springs on them. These pins go through the board. If you
"Out, Out Damned Heat!" by Joe Citarella 10/15/98 There is no question that heat is the overclockers enemy. In chasing this demon, many employ the number one talisman – the 80 mm case fan. This is one area where the
"System Cooling; a dual pronged approach" by David Nixon 10/28/98 I have tried many ways to cool a system, on the CPU level, and on the case. You really need to take care of both of these items, as doing
Hmmm…Where to begin. I know that indecision is hardly an encouraging place to start a review of a new (to me) product. But somehow it seems appropriate, especially in that this IS where I began. I’d been using a 9.1
SUMMARY: Amazing off-the-shelf performance – I maxed out my SOYO 6BA+IV at 155 MHz giving me 776 MHz at 1.6 volts. The PIII 500E should rank with the C300a, PII 300 SL2W8, PII 333 SL2WY Week 37 and PIII 450
I have been trying some different things with lapping CPUs to see what makes lapping so effective. I had a hunch that exposing the copper underneath the nickel (I am guessing it’s nickel) cap of Intel’s CPUs is as important
SUMMARY: A solid performer on par with high-performance heatsinks but not an HP Polar Logic. However, shearing off a socket 7 lug is a distinct possibility. NATA Computer Technologies was kind enough to send Overclockers.com a test sample of this
SUMMARY: Cooling the Flip Chips is a real challenge for heatsink manufacturers – testing results so far show third party heatsinks to perform better than Intel’s retail unit, but not by much. The Global Win FKP32 performs nicely while the
SUMMARY: Vantec’s Flip Chip CPU cooler does a better job than the Intel OEM cooler but it’s not an Alpha killer. It is questionable whether the modest improvement justifies purchase relative to other solutions. The Card Cooler was nice enough
SUMMARY: Global Win’s VOS32 performs very well – although not “Intel Approved”, very respectable performance – the best “Non-Intel Approved” CPU Cooler (ex Alpha) I have tested to date. The Card Cooler kindly sent us the Global Win VOS32 triple
