Evolution in technology is inevitable and as technology evolves so does the components that make up said components. As processor technology evolves, we pack more and more transistors in continuously shrinking packages as well as increasing the speed of the processors. Increase in speed leads to increased heat production. Heat kills components. Thus there is the never ending battle between heat and speed. Keeping that speed demon of a CPU cool is not an easy task. Both Intel and AMD offer a slightly adequate cooler in the boxed verions of their processors. While those coolers may keep the temps just under the max temperature set by the manufacture, I repeat heat kills. Aftermarket coolers have been around for quite some time and by my estimations they are not going away any time soon. One such company that manufactures aftermarket coolers, as well as a vast array of other aftermarket items, is ThermalTake. Today we are going to put the FRIO Advanced through the paces.

The Plantronics GameCom 780 is one of the hottest headsets for PC Gaming on the market right now. It uses Dolby technology to transform all audio into a 7.1 suround sound experience. In other words, it takes your standard 2 channel stereo and turns in to a 7 channel full range virtual sound sound experience. The headset prides itself, not only on the sound, but also on the design, comfort and durability of it all.

The headset includes the Dolby software, 40 MM Diameter Speaker driver, a speaker frequency of 20HZ to 20 KHZ, a microphone frequency response of 100hz - 10khz and a 6.5ft cable. The GameCom 780 lives up to everything it says it does. It is extremely comfortable to wear and the sound is amazing! If you flip the GameCom around you can have the rest on your shoulders. This is when you want the volume at it's highest. I couldn't believe how clear the sound when worn this way. To activate or deactivate the Dolby surround sound you simply press the Blue button by the volume controls. You won't believe the difference.

Last month, CMStorm released the Quick Fire Pro which is definitely a great keyboard but provided me wrist discomfort at angled positions, not for everyone though. The CMStorm Quick Fire Pro was ultimately a top quality gaming keyboard with all the bells and whistles. In fact, the NKRO feature is very useful during game play and added quality to the keys. The CMStorm Quick Fire Pro is priced perfectly for the gaming category, only $99.99. Though, how great a keyboard can be, it has to be precise and comfortable during game play for users because of constant control and erroneous key strokes to avoid death. Today, I passed the keyboard over to my epic sister, which has been playing mmo games even before me.
