Guide to laptop overclocking

THE Kloss KL-I915A looks like a mini-hifi system but it ain't. It is very attractive and stylish and performs very well. Its inside is well designed and for a first time Kloss has done a very good job except for some performance discrepancies. Let's wait for its AMD model then.

After the Turion Laydees laptop we saw some days ago, Laptoplogic has some photos of a X2 laptop which focuses on the same segment. This time, the Stylebook comes either in microfiber, faux croc, leater and suede material complete with the matching bag. It ain't a lightweighteither. Pentium M, DVD writer, 1.9Kg with battery, up to 1GB DDR and 100GB HDD. Pretty impressive. Laptoplogic has also managed to write an article on laptop overclocking using a Compaq V2000 laptop as crash test dummy.

GamePC compares the Hitachi 7K400 to the Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 hard disk drives in a 400GB mammoth drives display. There is only one winner though as you will see.

Mikhailtech reviews the Chimei CT-729A 17-inch LCD monitor. It does not support DVI but does feature a pair of built-in stereo speakers. With a 16ms response time and a 450:1 contrast ratio, it falls nicely in the entry level range. Not flawless but still very good.

Two reviews come to us from Xtremeresources. The first one is the Revoltec Liquid-Icer rev 2 watercooling kit which is of German brand and is the latest of a long list tested by XR. Great performance awaits especially if you're in extreme overclock. XR tested it up to 4.5GHz from an EE 3.73Ghz processor. Their second review is that of the Uneed DIGN HV5, a very stylish, brushed aluminium HTPC Case. Even the DVD Aluminium plate is provided and it does support ATX motherboards.

Finally, Josh Walrath of Pentarsys has an interview with Chris Daniel, the Product marketing manager of nVidia's SLI program. A nice compendium of things already out there and a good introduction. µ
