Evercool HPK-10025EA Heatpipe Cooler

Now that we are all out from under the watchful eye of the IRS and have successfully cashed our income tax checks, it’s time to put some of that stimulus money back into the economy.  I was nice to myself and bought a few creature comforts.  A new hi-def, and Xbox 360, and some cushy [...]

CoolIt Systems RAM Fan Review

CoolIt Systems RAM Fan Review

I have been directing extra airflow to my computer’s memory ever since RAM heatspreaders came out. I figured that if there was an actual need to distribute heat produced by the memory, then that heat could be better dissipated by some extra airflow. Nearly every DDR2 module now has heatspreaders, and DDR3′s specifications actually require [...]
