Fri, 22 Feb 2008 06:54:03 GMT

As you may know, heat is the worst enemy to anyone who desires to “overclock” his CPU and cooling is his best friend. Now there are two majors different camps/ways to cool down a CPU with a regular fan, heat sink, or water-cooling system.

Fri, 22 Feb 2008 03:10:00 GMT

Here's a very interesting bit of news from Tech-On, an English Website of the giant Nikkei. Apparently the magazine gathered some “engineers” from different manufacturers and striped down a MacBook Air in order to study it.
