News for November 12, 2002

It is getting cold now as we are near the mid November mark.
One thought came to me for the subject of today's news is the art of water-cooling and also the innovative designs of heatpipes.

So let us start off with Viper Lair's review of Wet and Chilly Chips "AMD-XP" WATER-COOLING SYSTEM

"It literally takes just a few minutes to have the kit up and running and the results are fantastic, with drops in temperature of 6C compared to aircooling. The kit does have a few little flaws, such as the instructions; it would have just been nice to have more of a visual aid to go with the simple text."

The heatpipe design on a heatsink is becoming more popular than ever.
ForumOC has reviewed a new design and use of the heatpipe heatsink made by Taisol.

"The Taisol Heatpipe CMK702151A provides above average cooling performance while maintaining a very low noise level. For the moderate overclocker, and even the casual gamer this heatsink would provide more than adequate cooling while allowing you to actually enjoy your game, music, etc. Because of the unique, somewhat unorthodox design, I was suspicious of it being able to perform decently when I started this review... but at the end I was thoroughly convinced of the cooling capabilities."
