This section is dedicated to all of you, who think about buying new PC but for some reasons prefer not to rely only on shop assistant, who indeed might suggest you guaranteed "high quality & high performing" PC configuration, the kind, he will make profit on, or composed by chance of components, which were lying on his stock for a really long time.

Coolink - Silentator. Third of square meter fight against heat

Of course it is more than 3500 cm2 - manufacturer has it on his web. Shape of this cooler is well-known to me. When I look at it from one kilometer it looks like tin with peas. Of about 100 meters it looks like tin with bean, but of about 20 meters is it Noctua NH-U12F. But when I look to this cooler of about 50 cm, I can see that manufacturer Coolink been particular in non - copying of all shapes of Noctua NH-U12F.

Saitek GH20 - Inexpensive gaming (not only) headset

Headphones in comparison with speaker systems have many obvious advantages. First of all, they provide absolute privacy and the sound comes directly into your ears without any external disturbance while listening to the music. Headphones can be easily stored as opposed to speaker systems, especially those with more satellites. Nowadays there are even surround sound headphones, which in many cases are a complete substitute for speaker systems. If stereo sound is enough for you, you might be interested in Saitek GH20 headphones.



Readers reviews: cooler Evercool HPFA-10025

After a long time, I've decided to change my creepy old Speeze Whisper Rock. I wanted my new cooler to be silent with a heat-pipes system, and all this for a price no higher than 20$. Everybody probably knows that Socket A has been around for a long time and its time is over. There are no new coolers on a market designed for Socket A anymore and prices of suitable coolers with heat-pipes system available for this type of Socket were all surpassing 20$. Then I've noticed Evercool HPFI, cooler made for Socket 775, nothing striking thought. Evercool was already compatible with another platform, but this couldn't discourage me to try to fix it with my Socket A. And how it turned out?



Two butterflies powered by rocket fuel

At first at the beginning of this review, I have to make a little correction of the head-line. The rocket powered cooler from the ZEROtherm company is only the one of these both good-lookers. It's name is BTF80 and it is thanking for this to it's fan. BTF95-Fanless by my mind losed his fan during the supersonic speed under water. I certainly don't know where else this could be possibble. Be sure that this cooler is dedicated rather for a passive PC. While the butterfly named as BTF80 will be better to use in PC cases, where the circulation of the air needn't to be so ideal. And what are the commons of these coolers? You really don't know? Well, the side panel at the PC case have to be made of clear plexi glass because both of the butterflies are really looking very good. Well, if You accidentaly don't have this, so chop-chop and run to buy some discs for your angle grinder, or buy the fret-saw, next some paper-glue and piece of glass, that will be no problem for everyone to scrabble-up from some old windows because of "plastic windows madness". Well, but this activity sequence is my patent, so you have to ask me for my approval :) . This modification is for sure really profitable. Only like that the beauty of one of these butterflies would be shown roundly.
