Gigabyte 3D Cooler-ULTRA 2004 GT Edition: third in the series

This time I´d like to mention Gigabyte´s 3D Cooler ULTRA 2004 GT Edition that primarily differs from the previous by being fully made of copper (the previous models had only copper bases).


This model is designed for Socket 478 Intel Pentium 4 (3.4GHz+), AMD Athlon XP (3200+ and faster), AMD Athlon 64 (3400+ and faster), so the bundle includes latches for all of the aforementioned.

  • 83x89x93mm heatsink size
  • 4~12V, 0.9A fan consumption
  • 2000~4500 fan rpm
  • 20~45dBA noise level
  • Dual ball-bearing
  • 50,000-hour life cycle
  • 780g weight

To reduce noise and improve controls Gigabyte 3D Cooler ULTRA 2004 GT Edition is shipped with a 3.5" front panel and a PCI bracket for manual rpm adjustment.

LaCie introduces Data Watch

The popularity of various Flash devides didn´t pass by LaCie. The company introduced its Data Watch, being naturally a watch with 128MB Flash memory.


LaCie Data Watch supports USB 2.0 (up to 7.39MB/s write, up to 7.68MB/s read) and powers from USB as well.
