Whoops, some confusion over who was doing the news last night. Here's a bumper update for your lunch break.
Daemon over at TechWatch has a 3-way socket cooler roundup posted and BSOD have a 15-way one happening. Meanwhile, Dan has added 10 more coolers to his monster roundup.. if that's not enough coolin' goodness for you, check out our own 21-cooler roundup.
TomsHardware has a 21-motherboard i815 roundup.
DreddNews compared two kinds of silver paste..
Seems SkyBiz have been shut down.. pyramid schemes are bad, mm'kay? Thanks Joel.
Electic send word of a BIOS update for the Tyan Thunder K7. This of course is the dual socketA board we scooped in a big way (big enough to kill our server :) ) earlier this month.
There's some pics of a recent LAN up here.. apparently held out in the sticks..
SysOpt have a core layout photo of a Tualatin .13 micron P3 with 512K cache.. mmm, pretty colours. InsaneHardware parry and riposte with the full spec sheet from Intel. I wonder how long it'll be before someone pops the heatspreader off those chips in order to more easily molest.. errr.. cool the core.
Here's some neato LCD glasses, thanks Neill.
Got a cablemodem? Worried about security? HardwareNewsNet have a guide to locking y'self down.. pretty basic stuff, but probably useful for ADSL and dialup users too.
Optus will apparently have Australia's first two-way satellite service, thanks Morjo.
IPKonfig have some instructions for a possible SBLive! and VIA chipset fix.. mostly aimed at KT7A peeps.
Another day, another detonator, thanks Dr Kildare. Not sure if these are official or Beta or blow-your-house-up, so be careful.
For those of you who want to be a riceboy but can't afford the Hyundai Excel, huge aluminium wing or turbocharger, Alchemy points out the blowoff valve noise kit which will electronically produce turbo blow-off valve noises at appropriate moments, virtually guaranteeing* your success with the ladies. That page has sound samples and everything! The third noise lets you pretend you're in an episode of Dr Who, too. This all reminds me of a sticker I saw on the back of a ute the other day - "Only juice and milk comes in 2 litres!" .. heh.
(* "virtually guaranteeing" means, of course, not actually guaranteeing in any way whatsoever. sorry.)
