Arctic Cooling MX-3 thermal compound
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, July 3, 2009 - 2:43 AM - 0 Comments


 

Arctic Cooling has introduced the Arctic MX-3 thermal compound, it's a carbon microparticles compound that ships in 4g tubes. The cooling company claims this new thermal paste performs up to 2.5°C better than branded thermal compounds and up to 7°C better than stock thermal compound. It will be available later this month for 8.95EUR ($12.25).

Arctic MX-3 specifications:

  • Thermal conductivity: 8.2W/mK
  • Viscosity: 875 poise
  • Density: 2.32g/cm³
  • Net weight: 4g
  • As an upgraded version of the award-winning ARCTIC MX-2, the performance of the ARCTIC MX-3 outranges other well-known thermal compounds clearly. This new compound is composed of carbon microparticles which lead to an extremely high thermal conductivity – 8.2 W/mK. It guarantees that heat from the CPU or GPU can be dissipated quickly and efficiently.

    Tested and proven, by using the ARCTIC MX- 3, the CPU core temperature is 7°C and 2.5°C lower than using stock compound and other branded ones respectively. It shows how significant a high performance thermal compound can be to reduce the temperature. Such excellent cooling result is surely what every overclocker and gamer is looking for. The ARCTIC MX-3 is the easiest way to push the overclockability further!

    Safer. Better.
    The ARCTIC MX-3 is a metal-free, non-electrically conductive compound which does not cause any damage of the components if it is accidentally spilled out on them. It eliminates any risks of short circuit and provides more protection to the CPUs, graphic cards and other applications between power semiconductor components and heatsinks. The ARCTIC MX-3 is a truly hassle-free premium thermal compound you can rely on.

    Einstein Sound Master Photon Ball iPod Dock
    By Hilbert Hagedoorn, July 2, 2009 - 7:21 PM - 0 Comments


     

    Now that's ..  different. I’ve never seen a dock quite like the Einstein Sound Master Photon Ball iPod Dock before. The colored ball pulsates and flashes to the beat of the music.

    It changes colors and offers up a neat lighting appeal providing an ample accent to your tunes. Your iPod can sit in the dock on the top of the device just like any other dock. Playback can occur through the dock or through your computer, if you’d like.

    Also included is a clock with an alarm, an AM/FM radio tuner and more. It’s pretty basic when it comes to output, but the added Einstein crazy lightning ball on top is what this gadget is all about anyway. You can get the Einstein Sound Master Photon Ball iPod Dock for $34.99.


      

     


    Philips prices 56-inch Cinema 21:9 HDTV
    By Hilbert Hagedoorn, July 2, 2009 - 7:12 PM - 1 Comments


     

    Philips has priced its 56-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio Cinema 21:9 HDTV it first introduced just after CES in January. While release dates are still unknown, the TV will cost the equivalent of about $7,400 in Europe. The unique aspect ratio results in a complete absence of horizontal black bars without distorting the image found in movies that are shot in the widescreen format.

    While images are not stretched, the TV uses Philips' smart pixel technology to manipulate everything else to fit the screen. The set also has a record number of pixels, at 8.3 million. To get the full benefit of the set, however, users need to play movies recorded on Blu-ray discs.

    There is still no indication of exactly when Philips will ship the set in the UK, but as the company announced it is leaving the North American market, the TV will not be sold in the US nor Canada.


      

     


    Mushkin back into the Graphics Card Market
    By Hilbert Hagedoorn, July 2, 2009 - 7:07 PM - 0 Comments


     

    In a bit of an unusual move memory vendor Mushkin is about to launch a complete new line of NVIDIA GeForce-based graphics cards, providing end-users with yet another alternative to the crowded market of GeForce graphics cards. All of the new models will be based on the latest NVIDIA GT200 GPU architecture and will be available in both standard and custom form factors, featuring increased clocked speeds and memory capacity.

    Mushkin has announced its entry in the graphics card market with the launch of a complete series of GT200-based graphics cards. This new line will be part of the company's ultimateFX family of graphics processing units, which will apparently be comprised of GeForce-based solutions.

    As part of the new series, Mushkin has debuted a couple of new products, namely the ultimateFX GeForce GTX260, GTX260 (1792MB), GTX260 OC, GTX260 OC2, GTX275, GTX275 OC, GTX275 OC2, GTX285 and GTX285 (2048MB). As you can see, there are a number of new models waiting to make themselves useful in your high-end desktop PC.

    The new cards will be delivered in special little wooden boxes that the company has trademarked as the “WoodBox.” This will certainly give computer users a sense of uniqueness and provide the cards with an upmarket packaging.

    Unfortunately, there’s no word on the pricing of any of these cards.
