ATrueReview looked at some SLI/Crossfire Ready PSUs from Aerocool, Cooler Master and Thermaltake, while TrustedReviews have a 14-way PSU group test. For many, it’s the same state of confusion as the day you first walk into Starbucks to discover there are 192 different ways of ordering coffee.
Here's an interesting convective watercooled PC that uses no fans (almost) but more importantly no pump. The dip in the tube at the upper right turned out to be a problem. Everything worked fine until I stressed the CPU. The increased flow from the CPU side stalled the flow from the power supply and trapped the hot coolant in this loop.
Xbitlabs experimented with overclocking an Intel Core Duo CPU. Overclocking proved to have significantly raised the performance of this mobile dual-core processor so that we could place it on the same level with the fastest Intel Pentium Extreme Edition and AMD Athlon 64 FX processors.
HWZone have an AMD Turion 64 X2 Performance Preview. Get a socket change, a new dual-channel DDR2 memory controller, double the processing cores, improved power management and you have a recipe for the new Turion 64 X2 processor. Read on as we take MSI's S271 Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology pre-evaluation notebook for a quick spin.
Cyrax83 found this Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive over at NASA, with pictures going back more than 10 years.
HWSecrets have an article about AMD's A64 architecture. An in-depth look on how CPUs based on AMD64 architecture work, like Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 FX, Turion 64, Opteron and some Sempron models.
PenStarSys meanwhile have some thoughts on AMD's Energy Efficient CPUs. Energy Efficient processors are based on a 65 watt TDP (the max wattage these processors will ever suck up), which means that really only the X2 4800+ is going to get anywhere near that number, while the lower clocked versions will of course run cooler and more efficiently.
We've missed the first episode, but toe2toe sent this in recently: Anyone mildly interested in old cars and adventure will love a four part series that is showing on ABC. I thought I'd send this news in as my brother was one of the mechanics on the expedition - the guy with the big hair and beard. For more info, check the ABC website here. Sunday nights at 7:30pm apparently, and there was some info on JJJ today about it too, sounded interesting.
