Well it’s that time again, Antec have released a new line of cases. The cases, which are part of the “Dark Fleet” series, endorse a rather “love it or hate it” design. Today we have the daddy of the Dark Fleet Series, the DF-85. With the huge and overwhelming success of the Antec 900, 902 [...]

With the need for faster components arising, the TDP of these components is increasing faster than ever! The best way to cool down these power hungry components is water. With a specific heat capacity of around 4.187 kJ/kgK compared to air’s 1.012 at normal room conditions, more heat is required to raise the temperature of [...]

When the pioneers in silent cooling bring out a new ultra-quiet cooling fan, there’s a lot of expectations to live up to. Not only do they have to outpeform the previous generation but keep ahead of the market in terms of technology. Who are the pioneers in silent cooling? Does the question really need to [...]

In today’s current computer climate, you will find that you will need a bigger heat sink than ever before to keep your components cool. However, if you have a bad contact bond between your CPU and your heat sink, you will not get great performance out of it. So, what we do is apply a [...]

Fans are often the sole component that keeps our computers running cool and stable. Whether it be on a CPU Cooler or a case fan, all computers have them somewhere! The tendancy amongst most people is to buy the cheapest 120mm fan with some form of flashy lights, not realising the cheaper fans have a [...]

It’s 2010, long gone are the days where one would put their hard earned components into a dire case. Good looking components are one of the things many consider when purchasing new components. More and more manufacturers are taking looks and aesthetics into account when making new components, whether it be flashy LED’s or sleek [...]

RAM. The word used so much in the computing world. We all want more, often not understanding its purpose. For the most part, speed is overlooked and users favour the cheapest generic RAM kit they find. That’s except for the hardcore enthusiast who overclocks anything and everything to the point of destruction. The person that [...]
