Zalman is probably the best cooling solution for desktops, with low noise cooling systems and very efficient cooling fans, has now a very good solution for laptops. The ZM-NC2000 is a ultra quiet notebock cooler with an aerodynamic design to reduce notebock’s temperature as well as the overall noise level.

Zalman ZM-NC2000 as a sleek design incorporating a high quality 3mm thick aluminum panel with a fine curvature and great cooling performance.

The Rubber Grip Strip prevents the notebook from sliding and aluminum treated with D.S.A. Surface Processing.
* D.S.A.( Diamond Cutting, Sand Blasting, Anodizing) for durability and high cooling performance.

ZM-NC2000 is ergonomic and is especially designed to minimize user fatigue. Two centrifugal fans for consistent high air pressure and fast cooling performance. 928 high capacity vent holes evenly distribute the flow of cold air to cool the entire notebook. Optimized ventilation structure and aerodynamic design provide excellent performance even during low noise level operation.

The ZM-NC2000 cools the notebook allowing its internal fan to operate quietly at low RPM, making it ideal for quiet environments such as libraries and offices. Tested with Samsung Sense X10+ Maximum Load, ZM-NC2000 operating on minimum RPM. Both fan’s run at 1,100 - 1,500 rpm ± 10 % with low noise; 18.0 - 25.5 dBA ± 10 %

Powered by the notebook’s USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power adaptor. The fan speed adjustable to accommodate the user’s environment.

nVIDIA has just launched the new nForce 780i, this one targeting Intel processors and supporting; Intel Socket LGA775 Full support for Intel Penryn 45nm (Yorkfield & Wolfdale), Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Pentium this new motherboard has full support to three-way SLI technology.

The nForce 780i SLI supports Intel’s one-, two- and four-core desktop processors on a frontside bus (FSB) clocked at between 533MHz and 1333MHz for the latest models. The chipset hooks the CPU up to two channels of DDR 2 memory running at up to 1200MHz but only works if the memory is certified to Nvidia’s Extended Performance Profile (EPP), otherwise it’ll be clocked at up to 800MHz. The chipset has 62 PCI Express (PCIe) lanes at its disposal, so it’s capable of scalable host up to three x16 connectors, though interestingly only two are PCIe 2.0 compatible - the third is plain old PCIe 1.0. Motherboards based on the 780i can also offer up to five PCI slots.

Three-way SLI technology allows users to connect up to three GeForce 8800 Ultra or 8800 GTX graphics cards - both older, 80nm parts rather than shiny new 65nm ‘G92′ unfortunately chips like the 8800 GT and the new 512MB 8800 GTS are not supported yet. Motherboards with the new 780i chipset can host up to ten USB 2.0 ports, two Gigabit Ethernet connectors, two parallel ATA drives and six 3Gb/s SATA drives.

Nvidia also introduced the crippled 750i SLI, a motherboard designed to support only two simultaneously connected graphics cards via its 26 PCIe lanes, like the old 680i SLI. It too supports a 1333MHZ FSB, but the DDR 2 memory link is limited to 800MHz rather then 1200MHz.

Have a look at the new video from the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV. Here you can see a brief description of the game.

We all know by now the new Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT and all its success due to its amazing performance for an reasonable price, but GAINWARD has twist thinks a little bit and release a 1024 MB version, the Bliss 8800GT 1024MB Golden Sample, having a 1GB graphic card can be an alternative to a SLI set up that can be much more expensive, because this graphic card is almost the same price of the 512MB version its makes a nice alternative. Equipped with stunning 650+MHz core clock speed and a super fast 950+MHz(DDR 1900+) MHz on the memory clock, Gainward Bliss 8800GT leads to an ultimate performance for enthusiasts and hardcore gamers, this includes a huge 1024MB memory (256bits width) bandwidth size can undoubtedly allow the graphics processors to achieve higher resolutions without running into memory capacity to latest games. GAINWARDS Bliss 8800GT 1024MB Golden Sample is definitely a must have weapon for truly hardcore gamers and maybe increase frag count.

• Nvidia GF8800GT(G92) with 650Mhz core clock.•112 stream processors with 1.625Ghz shader clock.

• 1024MB DDR3 memory (256bits width) with 950Mhz clock rate (DDR1900).

• Output port : Dual DVI-I (dual-link) andHDTV-out.

• HDCP compliant (both DVI port)

• PCI Express version 2.0, provides up to 16GB/s bandwidth (2 times that of PCI express).

• High performance with super low noise cooling fan.

• 3-Phase Power Supply System Design.

• Support HDMI interface with HDMI dongle.

I am honestly *slightly* shocked that BioShock, as beautiful game as it was, and its original and unique stotyline has turned out to be the winner in this years Video Game Awards. I was expecting Crysis to win the Best Game of the Year Award, but Crysis only had the Best Graphics Award, Bioshock got 3 Awards and Microsoft’s Halo 3 got 2.
