Cooler Master Sphere

0 comments
A processor when encouraged to work hard, of course, will generate heat. This heat will increase as the increasing severity of the processor. Processor heatsink that covers the duty to reduce heat generated earlier. But, as you get hot, of course, the fan heatsink will work even harder. Fan rotation will be faster and generate noise. Noise is of course made the atmosphere uncomfortable.
 
CoolerMaster heatsink of this size has the shape of the moon which is not too wide so it fits many types of motherboards. All parts of this heatsink is made of 100 percent copper, which could help the absorption of heat release is better, let alone still equipped with four heatpipes. Do not be alarmed if this heatsink generate noise because the fan is installed only has speed to 2200 rpm.

 
When compared on the heatsink, CoolerMaster Sphere standard of performance is able to lower the temperature about 4 to 5 degrees Celsius compared to the standard heatsink at full load conditions. Unfortunately, the number of sections to be assembled at this heatsink, making installation difficult.

For some gamers, using a range of auxiliary devices joystick or gamepad game is one of the obligations for the sake of adding a realistic impression when playing your favorite games. Especially for racing games, there is a special device called a Steering Wheel that its form of racing car steering wheel. One of the best steering wheel is a Saitek R660 GT. 

Saitek Package G660 GT comes in 2 modules that are interconnected: module-gear steering wheel and gas pedal-brake module. Both modules are created separately according to the location of its functions. Steering wheel mounted on the table, while the pedals are placed underneath. Both modules are connected channeled through a special cable similar to the LAN. To install the wheel on the table added to the steering wheel clamp that makes seat firmly enough on the table so that you can freely rotate the wheel without fear apart. Grip on the steering wheel also feels solid thanks to some rubber material coating.

Prior to work properly, we must perform a useful default driver installation for computer synchronization with the steering wheel, including to enable the force feedback or vibration feature as an addition to realistic effect. Yes, this resonance effect will add a fun game because when the car is driven, cornering, or hit the tremors will be felt in our hands. In addition designed for racing games but the steering wheel of this kind was also able to function on other types of game eg fighting or shooting like Mortal Kombat or Raiden. But, of course a bit strange to use the steering wheel for these types of games. 

To find this level of comfort Steering Wheel, used in racing games like GRID and GT Turbo. In the game, Steering Wheel can be modified selection input from the keyboard to the steering wheel on the configuration control. In the new racing game there is usually a device that can detect directly and will ask you to specify the use of the steering wheel buttons section. At R660 GT there are 4 buttons press that sorted with numbers and two Formula 1-style pedals that usually serves to change gear up or down. The existence of direct navigation buttons on the steering wheel allows us to more concentrate on playing for the hand did not have to move.

Marine Cooling, a new technology from Asus Motherboard

0 comments

A new innovation introduced by the company's leading motherboard manufacturer, Asus, some time ago. This time, Asus, trying to leave the traditional ingredients and began applying the technology called cooling modules for the newest motherboard series. 

Cooling material used consisted of two types of materials, namely ceramics and metal. This is done to double the cooling efficiency to allow use in extreme environments, such as humidity and high heat. Clad in gray and army green metallic accents, the heatsink steel shaped like a military vehicle that represents the sturdiness and durability. According to Asus, the overall design of the stick will emit impression-class technology and durability of the military. 


The motherboard is also equipped with features Un-interruptible Power Supply (UPS) integration, using polymer batteries to supply electrical power during a power failure. Facilitation in the end, helps prevent damage to the integrated component, preventing loss of important files, preventing destruction of data due to the current and voltage fluctuation and avoid unexpected outages. 


Fail facility over memory serves to further support the long operation. Design standards Failover Memory on the motherboard cool marine uses an integrated memory which will help to continue the process of booting the system when an error occurs in the additional memory. Other uses from Memory Failover is to ensure that the system will still boot even if there is an incompatible memory or damaged. 


At the front of the motherboard can be found a metal heatpipe module that channel and remove heat from critical components. While the ceramic plate located on the back of the motherboard (integrated with the printed circuit board) using a micro-porous ceramic technology to provide a larger cooling area. These conditions will ultimately help to remove heat with high effectiveness. Asus states that the design of such cooling is expected to boost the cooling efficiency up to two-fold.

Avoid the Same Password!

Millions of people use the same password for all purposes. As a result they also become vulnerable to fraud, according to a report CPP (money marketing services company based in the UK). Again, the CPP also said nearly half of Britons (Briton) use the same password to log in to banking, shopping, and accessing social networking sites. Fifty-four percent admitted they do little variation in the password. 

For matters of confidentiality of the password, at least 40% of adults admit that at least one person who knows their password. Meanwhile, more than half a million people admit that their ex-girl/boyfriends have access to log into a personal account alias know their password. 


More than that, really easy to guess passwords which are also open opportunities for intruders enter. One in five people use their pet names, while another 12 percent use the historic dates like birthdays. Ten percent use traditional name of the child, and nine percent longer using the name of the mother. 


Sarah Blaney (identity theft expert at CPP), said that does not make sense when people use the same key for home, car, or their garage. Now, through this analogy, we should not use the same password for everything. If necessary, the person should use a combination of letters and numbers, so it will be more difficult to penetrate. 


Based on a report that also, revealed the fact that one in ten people have a web account accessed by a thief, and one dai twenty people reported that their personal identity has been stolen.
