XR's Senior US Hardware Reviewer Steve "WxChaser" Carmel has a look at Sunbeam Technologies most recent products of 2005.

Early last week, we published two insider reports that hinted OCZ?s progress and plans in the cooling market. To recap, our reports suggested that OCZ is working on heatsinks for enthusiasts at affordable price points, and OCZ may even enter the water-cooling scene should it deem necessary to serve the enthusiast community.

AMD, and its users, sometimes try to make fun of Intel but it looks like he (Intel) who laughs last, laughs best.

The only segment where Intel is still the obvious number one is the mobile segment, where their Centrino continues to score high. Read on at DV Hardware

OCZ Ready to Splash with Enthusiast Heatsinks

OCZ Technology is now more associated with its performance power supplies and memory modules in the enthusiast market segment than cooling solutions for microprocessors. A while back, OCZ introduced a series of average heatsinks that were priced competitively, but performed averagely. At the time, they were decent enough to recommend even for slight overclocking adventures, however, the series has just lost touch with the market without updates to the product line.
