Well, if your RAM is a little hot under the collar, see if the review Phoronix posted of Prime Cooler's new heatspreaders help it cool off. Or maybe Seasonic's PowerAngel will help you prove that your house power mains are the reason for your headache.

Plain old clear conductive water got you down? How 'bout antibiotic and anti-corrosion green slime that cools as well as water? Check Pimprig's look at the MCT 5 and 40 fluids from Danger Den.
Just in case you are wondering how much $$$ "Danger Den has 32 ounce bottles of MCT-5 and MCT-40 for $20.99 and $21.99 respectively. The only competition in this market, Fluid XP sells for $30-$50 for 32 ounces. "

Overclockers Online reviews a new case from Aerocool, called Spiral Galaxies. This case not only has a pre-installed windtunnel, but the clear side panel has a honeycombed pattern of metal on it and a special paint, which they describe togather as this ... "Bee-Hive" side panel for improved EMI protection'. Try it out, your CPU temps may drop, and you might get less interference drowning out the voices in your head telling you to buy new hardware!

Given the convergence of graphics card vendors and gaming consoles, this seems fitting to post. Although we all have to remember this is not official and may not be true, let's all hope that these images are a good indicator of what PS3 games will look like. Do yourself a favor and follow the link!
Take note that these images are not that of a real althete!!! These are test renders!!! Although these say that the engine is for Fight Night Next Gen, EA tends to use their game engines for all different game titles.

With all the new heatsink designs coming out, it's nice to see that people are still trying to improve my least favorite part of the installation, the clip. Most have opted for a cage design, and almost every high performance heatsink expects that you will take the motherboard out of the case to install it.

Slim, light and well cooled would describe the ThermalTake Shark perfectly. Don't take my word for it though, head on over to The Tech Report, and get the review first hand.
"On paper, it looks like the Shark delivers. The Atkins Diet has trimmed the case's weight down to just 14 pounds, and the Shark offers loads of both internal and external drive bays.
