Many things can be done to speed up processors but many come at the possible cost of the processor itself by using soldiering techniques or whatnot to unlock the potential of the CPU. Speed Strip LLC in these times has come up with a patent pending strip to add onto the bottom of some of these Thoroughbred and Barton core cpu's functioning with the AXDA design. The SSA-1 is the first to a possible line of unlocking strips for these processors.

Thermaltake X-Blower Review

Thermaltake these days seems to be a company that comes to mind instantly off of the minds of many cooling enthusiasts. The lineup has grown so much from the initial Volcano series of coolers into case fans, case accessories or well even cases of their own creation complete with their own system for cooling it. No matter what Thermaltake has grown to take on all aspects of cooling in search of the ideal solution for each end user. Today we get to bring to all of you the X-Blower system.

Thermaltake Xaser III V2000A

With dimensions of 20.9" X 8.1" X 20.5", the first obvious impression is big, Very Big. When I picked up this "Very Big" case and was impressed with how light it was for a case this size. Made almost entirely of aluminum, this case comes in at a very impressive 8.5 kg without power supply. When it comes to appearance the V2000A stands out very nicely.

A few months ago when Small Form Factor (SFF) was all the craze, we did a small shootout of three boxes. If you remember, we had MSI, FIC, & Shuttle SFF boxes. What we have for you today is a SFF case from AOpen called the H340D. It resembles the FIC Samba box we looked at during the shootout.

Thermaltake Volcano 9 Coolmod Review

ThermalTake is arguably one of the best success stories in the world of mod suppliers. We've had a long relationship with the company and have seen their reputation grow as quickly as their product line. We've used the Volcano 7+ for a long time in various systems, but recently we've started to use Volcano 9's in most of our benchmark test beds. Today we're looking at the "CoolMod" version of the Volcano 9, which differs from the original Volcano 9 only in an aesthetic fashion.

Behold the Chenming File Server case from ColdConcept. This case sports many of the features that made the Antec Performance Plus 880 an Editor's Choice winner, but with the promise of the low cost one would expect from a "generic" brand case. We love Antec cases, and we love this case too.
