Thermal adhesive, no matter how good it is cannot be considered a replacement for a solid metal joint, or even soldering job. From the tests we can see one that the Fortis A92 is overwhelmed by 100W heat load. Thick aluminum fins joined to a copper base with what appears to be thermal epoxy really doesn't have the needed kick it should. Were the interface between the aluminum fins and copper base more conductive we might see the A92 come back fighting better.Read more
While it has a high speed fan, the thick fins and non-optimal joint between the base plate leave it lacking on the small interface die tests. Given the limitations of the technology being applied here we have to class this heatsink as OEM, and as such it is not ideal for performance cooling situations on processors like the T-bird. On the larger interface die the performance (especially at 50W) is pretty good, but at higher wattage's it can keep up.

PC Stats has posted a review on the Archos MP3 Jukebox Recorder
There are many MP3 players out on the market to choose from. Generally these portable music players fall into two categories, high capacity harddrive-based storage and low capacity flash-based storage. The Archos Jukebox 3000 MP3 player definitely falls into the high capacity category. With 6.0 Gigs of space it will easily store anyone's MP3 collection, and a whole lot more.Read more

VIAHardware.com has put up a review on the MSI MX400 Pro-VT32S Video Card.
The MS-8833 includes all the features of the MX400 chip, and also includes Video-In and Video-Out (TV) support, as well as DVD software and video editing software (and the 183MHz memory clock of course). You might think that with the extra software you will be paying more for this card than others. You would be right, but the difference isn't as plain as price. The MS-8833 runs ~$80-85, with other MX400 based video cards costing ~$5-15 less. The catch? Most other MX400 based cards don't have the TV-Out at all, and certainly won't let you edit movies.Read more
