The E6300 sits at the bottom of the 1066MHz line in the Intel Core 2 Duo family at just under $200. This makes it the ideal choice for many budget minded consumers who want performance at a price they can live with. The double benefit for the enthusiast is the ease with which this processor overclocks to a stable much faster speed and consequently much more performance.
The Sharks cooler has quite a unique design to it. Instead of having the fan on top of the cooler or on 1 side the fan is actually in the middle of the cooler, surrounded on each side by heatsink fins. The heatsink fins are made of aluminum. Since the fan is in the center of the cooler you are going to want to point it in the direction of the back of the case. You are able to remove it and switch the direction, we will see this during installation.
With built-in four silent 70 x 70 x 10mm fans, the TTC-G4T is still lightweight and is able to provide high cooling performance to keep your notebook cool. Since different notebooks have different needs for intake or exhaust airflow, Titan has considered the possibilities and made the TTC-G4T capable of providing intake airflow on the front side and exhaust airflow on the back side, so that either side is useful, depending on the need. In addition to this, both the front side and the back side of the G4T are all made of high quality aluminum with a nice hairline finish, making it an attractive accessory instead of a geek gadget.
USB Chess Game at DragonSteelMods:
The Chess board itself is actually a rubber mat that is fairly thick and sturdy, but yet still very pliable to be rolled and taken with you. It's hard to see from the picture but there are the corresponding letters and numbers along the edge and bottom of the board to play.
The XXX Edition, pictured below, is the fastest of XFX's trio of GeForce 8600 GTS cards. Our sample was clocked in at 730/1566/2260MHz, representing healthy boosts in speeds over the default version. We must note, however, that XFX's site lists the XXX Edition at 730/1595/2260.
Ballistix Tracer memory is specifically built for performance enthusiasts and case modders who want to push the performance envelope while adding flash appeal to their boxes. The Ballistix line of high-performance memory modules features advanced speed grades, low latencies, and integrated aluminum heat spreaders. Ballistix Tracer memory features a black PCB, black integrated heat spreaders, and two rows of eight "chasing" red and green LEDs atop the module, circulating at varying speeds proportional to usage. A custom-designed circuit relays bus activity to the LEDs, allowing them to accurately reflect usage of each memory module. In addition, eight blue ground effects LEDs emit a constant glow near the pins.
The CPU mounting clip uses one, or all three prongs on the two different styles of AMD heatsink retention frames in use. Clamping pressure is applied by a small cam at one end, and the clip installs without the use of any tools whatsoever. There are holes for the Intel mounting hardware to attach to, but Evercool has cut costs pretty seriously and only included the AMD clip show here. Another Intel only version of the Evercool Buffalo heatsink is available, it is the HPFI-10025.
The mouse is coated with a rubber-like surface for extra grip, but the silicone thumb scoop is much softer, and almost sticky. The main buttons are slightly sculpted, and most fingers will fall naturally onto them. The scroll wheel is coated with the same material on the thumb rest, so the slightest touch makes contact. The wheel scrolls seamlessly, so there is no clicking when scrolling up or down, which may be great for spreadsheet-jockies, but not for gamers. The scroll wheel is also mounted on a tilt-wheel, so the wheel can be tossed to the left or right side to support horizontal scrolling.
The Silentator is sent with only one of the three different brackets required from the various CPU sockets out there. Fortunately, being a reviewer I get all three, allowing me to mount this on either a LGA 775, AM2 or K8 (754, 939, 940) motherboard. A paying customer has to make the choice before purchasing.
These Modules are rated for 1066MHz at 5-5-5-15-2T timings at 2.2v. That's considered a high performance low latency kit for those of you unfamiliar with DDR2 ratings. DDR2 has a default voltage ratings of 1.8v, but most high performance DDR2 will require anywhere from 2.1v - 2.3v, especially to achieve lower timings. I think it's great that this PC2-8500 kit only requires the same 2.2v that the PC2-6400 needed. That just shows the quality of the memory.
