Guru3D roundup the latest Heatpipe CPU coolers from Noctua, OCZ, Tuniq, Cooler Master and Coolink. All coolers really are way above average and are great products. We were just really curious how far it could handle an overclocked Quad Core processor, as much like you guys would like to know.

VR-Zone has some 3-way SLI Action with the unreleased NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 and 3DMark Vantage. Since we have some GTX 280 cards with us so we put them together and run some tri-SLI action. We overclocked our QX9650 to 4GHz to remove some CPU bottleneck. Discussion on the forum.

Bit-Tech have published a report of a recent factory tour they attended with Gigabyte in Nan-Ping, Taiwan. Are you planning to pick up a Gigabyte GA-P45-DQ6? Over the course of this article, we'll show you where it was made as Gigabyte invited bit-tech to one of its Taiwanese factories, allowing us to roam around its facilities.

After many release candidates, Mozilla has finally announced that Firefox 3 is set for release June 17, 2008. Firefox 3 sets the innovation bar very high with exciting new features, including one-click bookmarking, the smart location bar and lightning fast performance. Discussion on the forum.
