Hmmm it's sunday, bad weather, went out last night, so a perfect day for testing and benchmarking. But first a news roundup from what I got in my mailbox.

The Overclocker Café (http://www.overclockercafe.com/Reviews/ThermalRight_SLK800/index.html)just finished putting the new ThermalRight SLK-800 trough some tests:
“This time however, the principle of bigger is better is employed. Bigger sink and bigger fan... if you want. What this means is that the SLK-800 can take 60mm, 70mm, or 80mm fans of varying heights. While a novel concept that is certainly noteworthy but who is gonna put a small fan on a fat sink? Versatility is great but hey, if you're gonna be a bear, be a grizzly!”

The overclockers cafe are also having a contest and are giving away a Lian Li case, you can enter the contest here (http://www.overclockercafe.com/contest.htm)

Over at Jsi Hardware (http://www.jsihardware.com/reviews.php?ID=83) today they take a look at the USB Dongle from Blue Take. Here’s a snip from the review :
"Bluetooth is based on a short-range radio link, which enables the wireless connection of computers and peripherals such as desktops, laptops, printers, scanners, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's) and mobile phones. Allowing them to exchange data or even voice between each other. "

Monkeyreview (http://www.monkeyreview.com/reviews/index.php?action=fullreview&id=155) is looking at the Samsung Synchmaster 151b 15INCH TFT screen:
Using the SyncMaster 151B was a pure joy on the eyes. For the first time I was able to work for over 5 hours without even batting an eye. Using any CRT monitor for more than an hour or two tends to leave my eyes tired and watery. The viewing angle allows you to see the screen from almost any angle. This allows you to collaborate with others without having to give up your seat as you sometimes find on other lesser quality LCD displays.

X-bit labs has posted a Roundupcalled "Pentium 4 Chipsets Supporting 533MHz Bus (http://www.xbitlabs.com/mainboards/p4-533-chipsets/)":
We have already reviewed in detail the available Intel chipsets that allow building 533MHz Quad Pumped Bus systems. However, other chipset makers offered their own solutions for Pentium 4 with high-speed bus. In this article we will discuss the current chipset market situation and learn more about non-Intel products.
