[More] | | | Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Wed, 05 Apr, 2006 - [Review, overclockersonline] Quote: The Alpine 64 presents some stiff competition, especially when it's
price is taken into consideration. For a price of approximately $15 USD, the
Alpine 64 is an excellent choice for those who want to replace their noisy
stock cooler with a more efficient and quieter cooling solution. Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Arctic Silver "Arctic Clean" Review Mon, 03 Apr, 2006 - [Review, HardwareLogic] Quote: Available in three sizes (2,4, and 8 fl oz.)which fit every need (even the 2oz set is plenty for several cleanings), Arctic Clean is a Godsend to anyone who frequently changes their cooling solution. The simple two step process makes cleaning your heatsinks base as simple as possible, while making sure you are getting the very most out of your heat sink's and thermal paste's performance. While most cleaning solutions come with horrible smells, Arctic Clean features a refreshing citrus smell that doesn't kill brain cells.
For a modest price, you can have the peace of mind knowing that the base of your heat sink is as clean as it possibly can be. If you are planning on Lapping a Heat sink, or reapplying the thermal compound on the base of your HSF (The HardwareLogic Thermal Paste Guide), then Arctic Clean is a very wise investment.

Graphics Cooler Roundup Sun, 26 Mar, 2006 - [Roundup, sudhian] Quote: Stock coolers aren?t always designed for maximum performance but rather
designed for a good medium of price/performance to keep costs down. This
is where third party cooling manufacturers come in. Cooler manufacturers
such as Arctic Cooling and Zalman have become quite known for their
third party graphics coolers in terms of noise and performance. Today
we?ll be comparing graphics coolers from both manufacturers. Enter the
Arctic Cooling Accelero X2, Zalman VF700-Cu, and VF900-Cu. Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

[More] | | Acer Ferrari F20: Italianate Luxury Thu, 23 Feb, 2006 - [Review, tomshardware] Quote: We recently tested the latest Acer notebook bearing the Ferrari label. Now it's time for LCD monitors to don the mythical red livery of the Italian marque. And Acer has done up this first LCD display with style. No question of choosing a slow 17-inch panel for a redesign under such prestigious auspices... So the manufacturer looked in their catalogue and found a 20-inch movie-format panel with an optical filter, remote control, TV tuner, and sound to befit it all. At first glance, it's awfully handsome. But in addition to great looks, the F20 claims to have the stuff where it really counts - under the hood. Let's see about that right now...

Windows Vista Ready LCD Monitor Round-Up – Part 1 Tue, 21 Feb, 2006 - [Roundup, firingsquad] Quote: LCD monitors have continued to drop in price and nowadays, you can find a 20” 1680x1050 LCD for under $400. It turns out that these low-priced monitor aren’t as good of a bargain as you may expect. You see, although Windows Vista will be released later this year, most of the monitors on the market today lack the HDCP support needed for high-resolution playback of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs on your PC. In fact, there are only 12 monitors that we know of that support HDCP. In short, not only will you need to buy a new graphics card for Windows Vista, if you’d like full-resolution HD-DVD or Blu-Ray, you’ll also need a brand-new monitor. Because of this, at this point in time, we do not recommend purchasing a non-HDCP monitor unless you are planning to use it as a secondary display for text, photos, and games only.
