Tuesday 26 November - Afternoon edition

Today, I’m going to look at one such product. In my initial research, the ABIT SR7-8X, based on the SiS-648 chipset, got me more excited than I’ve been about a product in a long time. Offering such features as full support for a 133MHz Front Side Bus, PC2700 memory (not to mention unofficial support for PC3200 memory), ATA-133, USB 2.0, and AGP-8X, this board’s résumé started off impressive enough, but when I heard of the overclocking features that are also thrown into the mix… well… let’s just say, it’s a good thing that the UPS man is quick on his feet, or he’d have found himself on the wrong end of a flying tackle.

Now it is a proven fact that your RAM chips do indeed get hot and need special cooling attention as well. While most system RAM sticks and video card RAM chips can get by without cooling, it is widely known among overclockers that applying cooling to these specific areas of your system will yield higher overclocks

Anyway, in a roundabout way that brings me to the point of this whole review. Hard drives are dull, unexciting pieces of kit that just crack on and do their job - until that is they give up the ghost on you, when they immediately become a major pain in the neck. And so anything that can help protect them has to be a GOOD thing! So we come to the hard-drive cooling system which Antec have sent us to review.
