I am Not a Geek dot com has posted a review on Cooler Guy's MCX370 Ultra heatsink

Swiftech caters to the needs of the overclocker. I remember, when I worked at Bxboards.com and Swiftech had just started up. We had the opportunity to review one of their first products, even then, when Switftech was nothing more than a hobbyist outfit, with nowhere near the production capabilities they have now. Their work smacked of high quality craftsmanship, and since then from the looks of it, things have not changed much, that is where high quality is concerned

FrostyTech has put up a Zalman FanMate 1 - Rheostat Review

Companies like producing heatsinks like the Noise Control Silverado and Zalman used to include sets of resistors to control fan RPM by limiting the voltage going to the fans. These connections were handy, but adjusting the fans was not possible.

Zalman have recently introduced a solution as part of their CNPS system to bring commercially made Rheostats to processor heatsinks. This product is called the Fan Mate 1. The Fan Mate 1 gives users an adjustable dial to control the speed of a fan connected to the small device. The Fan Mate 1 is rated to handle fans drawing 6W or less, and will output from between 12V to 5V depending on where the potentiometer (speed dial) is set.

PC Stats has posted a review on the ProLink PixelView GF2MX Twin video card.

Where the PixelView GeForce2 MX Twin really shines is with its dual display! Well sort of, the the second header is a DVI connector which is good for LCD monitors, however CRT's still use the regular 15 pin analog connector. The absence of a DVI to analog converter doesn't help much and since it's almost impossible to buy a 3rd party one it kind of defeats the purpose of having dual display. The maximum resolution the card is capable of is 2048x1536 @75Hz but it supports independent resolutions and refresh rates should you have different sized displays. Twin view supports multi-display, zoom and clone functionalities. I was quite pleased to see thermal material between the MX400 GPU and the heatsink/fan. As for overclocking, I was able to hit 241/245 which isn't a bad overclock from the stock 200/183 MHz. Yes, I said 183 MHz ram speed, that's already 17 MHz higher then most other MX400's! IF the card were mine though, I probably would have added ramsinks and clock the memory a little higher.
