Still present is the 11-fin low profile Delta fan (non-Black Label screamer type), screwed into an adapter which in turn is attached to a few fins. No chrome grill is present, yet there is a thermal pad pre-applied *sigh*. It's not a very heavy cooler and still has a rough finish. Now, about extrusion and forging. Extruded heatsinks are the most typical ones. This is basically a solid block that's ... well ... extruded (pushed through some kind of opening) to make the desired shape. Alpha, Swiftech, Thermaltake, Coolermaster, etc: all of them use extrusion. This makes the whole thing very shiny and neat looking, something the CGK760092 is definitely not. Why? Because it's forged: liquid aluminum alloy poured into a mold. Very few manufacturers do this sort of thing (I personally don't know one but don't want to say there aren't any) but it does have its advantage: greater density, which results in better heat dissipation.Read more

DeviantPC has posted a review on the Gainward Golden Sample Ultra/750 XP.
Not content with the performance of the Ti4600 Gainward decided to add that little bit of performance to their cards; like some other cards in their range they set the card's default clock speeds past the default 300MHz core, 650MHz memory to 310MHz core and 680MHz memory. So they are selling overclocked products? It seems not. Gainward receive special batches of NVIDIA chips, any that fail to hit the mark at 310MHz get sent back.Read more

OverclockersClub.com has completed a review on the ThermalTake Geforce4 Ti Copper Cooler.
ThermalTake (TT) has a new chipset cooler out, called the GeForce 4 Highest Performance cooler and it's designed for the Nvidia Geforce4 Ti series video cards. Along with the cooler, you get memory heatsinks to keep your memory cooler. The TT GeForce 4 Highest Performance cooler is suppose to keep your Geforce4 video card cooler than the stock cooling that was found on your card when you bought it. The Geforce4 video cards doesn't come stock with memory heatsinks, or atleast I know that my MSI Geforce 4 ti 4600 card didn't. With that being said, one would think if you did install these memory heatsinks, along with the GeForce 4 Highest Performance cooler that we have here, you would be able to overclock your video card more than you could before installing this cooler and memory heatsinks. Do they really help cool and allow you to overclock more, or are they just something pretty to put on your card? Well, read on and we'll see!Read more

PC Stats has posted an Epox 8K3A+ KT333CE motherboard review
Even though Epox was one of the first mainboard manufacturers to produce a motherboard based on the VIA KT266A chipset the 8KHA+ remains one of the finest boards out there, and one which continues to enjoy a fiercely loyal following. When Epox announced the release of the KT333-based 8K3A+ many wondered if they would be able to reproduce the successes they had enjoyed in the past.Read more
Like the 8KHA+, Epox has set their sights directly on the enthusiast market. To satisfy such demanding markets (after all we want bleeding edge, not cutting edge) Epox included a few features which managed to eclipse the hardware.
