This new heatsink and fan from Akasa is one of the first CPU heatsink and fans that has been designed with the new Intel Core i7 CPUs in mind. It’s not all Core i7 though as it’s compatible with many other sockets too which will be good to know if it does the job of cooling well!

My most recent graphics card purchase and therefore review, is an ATI Radeon HD4850 from Gigabyte. This card is the new 1Gb version which comes fitted with a Zalman cooler and pre-overclocked to 700mhz on the core, for reference the part number is GV-R480OC-1GH.

This new product from Vizo certainly looks useful, it’s a dual hard drive rack that fits in a standard external 3.5″ bay. At last there’s a useful purpose for that floppy drive slot in your case. You can now get one of these and fit not just one but two hard drives, of the 2.5″ SATA variety.

The 7900GS was a pretty good budget buy when it came out and played many games at good detail settings and resolutions. However now it’s starting to show its age and could do with an overclocking boost. Fortunately the 7900GS is one of those cards that seem born to overclock.

There are many programs that run in windows that are very useful to the overclocker, beginner and expert alike. In this article I aim to highlight the good ones and you’ll be glad to know that almost all of them are available for free.

You need bluetooth headphones, here’s a review of the Gear4 Bluphones.

My next piece of news comes hot on the heels of the Akasa release. This time it’s news of a new RAM cooler from Vizo, I think I’ll try to get one of these in to provide you with a review as it has the potential to help push that overclock you’ve been working on a little bit further!

In order to provide more regular updates I’ve decided to post news information released to me by component manufacturers. So to start with we have some new fan cable adapters from Akasa.

There are several ‘gaming’ keyboards on sale these days but the Wolf King Warrior took my fancy as it’s much smaller than a standard sized keyboard allowing a bit more on-desk space for those important sessions. It’ll also come in useful at LAN parties when space is at a premium.

In my wifi on the move article I spoke at times about where to find free connections. My favourite being McDonalds. This is an article I will be continually updating and will list free wifi hotspots.
