Extreme Cooling

hakkikt writes "Icrontic brings us a review about a CPU-cooling device every self-respecting overclocker and cpu-speed freak must get. The device is called MX-EVA3. With a price of US$500, it's not for the faint of wallet, but the performance is awesome."

    winning the fastest desktop in the world competition is like winning the 'most luxurious kia' award.

    the funniest part is that most O/C'd systems have drive subsystems that are far from top-of-the-line, and overall system performance would be helped more by fixing that part of the system.

    It's probably an advertisement... In a few hours they'll come back online, and print something along the lines of "we wouldn't have gotten slashdotted if we were overclocking our Pentium 75 to 8gHz using this new cooler!"

    what's wrong with hitting the bottle alone, though?!

    These words from your site:

    Winners Circle is a new Operating system that shall be unique in several ways. It shall be a multitasking operating system built specifically to run under dos. It shall multitask by comand, not by timeslice, as windows does. This should make the operating system run faster and with more stability than windows 95 or 3.1

    [...]

    This is also going to be written entirely (as far as I can code - I already know my mouse code shall be assembly) in QuickBasic.

    Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Feel the burn ... of QuickBasic!

    It would have been better to call it the MX-EVA2 (Asuka's) , since the EVA3 is the black one that goes a bit mental and strange.

    The Bell Curve is a well known societal phenomenon in which those with power justify there need to keep those lower down on the power scale without power. Drastic measures to fix this include sending in suicide bombers to blow up those at the top of the bell curve.
