CoolIT Domino i5 Testing

Back in July this year we tested the CoolIT watercooling kit using a heavily overclocked AMD 7750+ BE. It’s performance really surprised us with it absolutely caning the other coolers in question. However, processors have quickly moved on since July and we’ve got the likes of the Intel Core i7 and recent i5 dominating the market. For this reason, we thought some i5 testing using our trusty CoolIT Domino was in order. Let’s see if the performance from the Domino still survives in this day and age…

Noctua NH-U12P

The Noctua NH-U12P is the latest of a whole series of coolers from Noctua. This latest version with so-called greater “main board compatibility” aims to be as successful as it predecessors especially with its acclaimed quiet cooling performance. However, has this heatsink and fan combination really surpassed expectations enough to warrant claims as being on a whole new level as its manufacturers would have us believe?

Coolink Lapchilla Laptop Cooler

Laptop technology has advanced greatly over the years with different releases of more powerful and compact systems constantly replacing the top notebooks of the year before. However, improving the performance of laptops usually has the knock on effect of producing more heat and so users will commonly seek advice in order to better cool their laptop. An often used approach to this problem is a Laptop Cooler.

However, most laptop coolers do more than simply draw hot air from your system. Many laptop coolers also have become a key feature in making the experience of using a portable machine at a desk more comfortable overall. Most coolers provide an elevated position for the actual laptop which usually features a sort of incline to the keyboard, thus allowing comfortable angles for typing during the longer sessions at the computer.

Nowadays, to enjoy a film to its full potential, a full sense of verisimilitude has to be added to the ‘experience’. With technologies such as Blu-Ray and HD Audio, this can be made possible. However, without the correct set of speakers, there’s a clear bottleneck on the ‘experience’. Today we’ll be reviewing the Teufel E 100’s, let’s see if these are the speakers consumers today are demanding.

Stratospherix NetPortal 1.2

Imagine being able to access the files and folders on your PC from a mobile device. For most of us, this would massively change the way in which we work. Instead of waiting until you’re near a PC to be able to preview and proof read reports for tomorrow’s meeting, you’re now suddenly able to do it whilst travelling about, therefore making full use of your available time.

Dream-not though, this is now reality. NetPortal, an app available to iPhone users boasts to be able to do just this and many more tasks. Furthermore, costing just £2.99 (or $4.99 to our American friends) on the fruit-shop’s store, Stratospherix’s app sounds too good to be true. Let’s find out if it is…
