Noise Isolator Water Cooling Components (SystemCooling)

"Overall, the block performed decently though, it does not have the finesse or performance in comparison to the mainstream blocks out there. If you are into overclocking, this block may prevent you from reaching your CPU’s limit. The anodizing is dull on the block, though part of that is due to it being a casting. I did like the block mounting and the O-ring sealed barbed fittings."

VIA KT600 Boards Mega Roundup (VirtualZone)

"VIA had been holding the performance crown on the AMD platform with its “KT” series chipsets until about half a year ago when Nvidia’s Nforce 2 hit the market. The Nforce 2 had VIA beaten both in terms of performance and features. For the next few months, VIA had remained relatively low profile.

"Seagate takes lead again on PCMark 2002’s HDD test and Hitachi and Western Digital follow very closely. Seagate gets superior result on read test although write test result almost same as on Hitachi and Western Digital. Cached tests indicate lower performance than uncached tests, which is very odd. There could be problem on test software itself or somewhere else, in any case cached results are not trustworthy."

Thermaltake Ducting Mod (CyberCPU)

"I was a little let down when I ran all my tests and the Ducting mod didn't do anything to help cooling at all. I was hoping for at least a small improvement but it didn't improve cooling at all. It did however do one thing that I am happy with, the sound level was lower, not a huge difference but a noticeable one."

"Although all the data is there, almost every application program has taken a hike, particularly Netscape bookmarks for various financial sites that pay bills and do other necessary things.
