Overclocking Core 2 Duo: Revving Up an Extra Giga-Hurt, Painlessly
Those who tinker with sophisticated cooling technology can often overclock processors to extraordinary speeds, but the guys at TechSpot took a more practical approach. Using a rock-bottom-priced ($180) E6300 Core 2 Duo processor and a few simple parts, they raised its clock speed from 1.86GHz up to 3.03GHz without compromising stability. As a result, they got better clock-speed performance with this low-priced processor than they would have using a $1000 2.93GHz Core 2 Extreme 6800 chip. More »

Scythe XCLIO A380: PC Case or Jet Engine?
This is one wild-looking PC case from Scythe Corp. in Japan, the XCLIO A380 ATX with an LED-lit 10-inch fan up front that looks like a jet engine. Don't be scared away by that fan's imposing size, though—at its lowest speed the thing and its side-mounted twin put out just under 28dBA of sound.

Water Cooling and Power Supply All In One
Water cooling your PC isn't just for geeks any more, not with the Water Cowboy DC-WCP450, which brings on the coolness by teaming up the power supply with the radiator, pump and water tank. It's reportedly the first water cooling system built into a power supply. The 12cm fan keeps the power supply from getting too hot and at the same time cools off the water, which is moved down to a processor cooling unit through a couple of tubes. More »

Our esteemed brothers at Kotaku have uncovered a video showing Mario Kart running at a spectacular 100 MHz on a Nintendo DS. With this rig, it's possible to dial up and down the overclocking and underclocking, making the Nintendo DS either rock 'n roll like the chipmunks or slip into slo-mo. Not sure how useful this is, but it's an interesting technical exercise nonetheless—one that we didn't even know was possible. More »
