Is There Still a Need for Water-Cooling?

For me, water-cooling began out of necessity. I water-cooled my first PC nearly ten years ago, when, living in a house with a flat roof, my bedroom got incredibly hot in the summer months. I was already hooked on overclocking at the time and strove to save money by buying cheap, but very overclockable hardware. Unfortunately, the combination of the house's architecture and high system temperatures meant that my PC was intolerably noisy and unstable.

Infuriated, I made the move to water-cooling - not a particularly easy one as there were few guides and even fewer off-the-shelf components back then, which resulted in regular trips to the local DIY store to search for parts. I initially water-cooled my CPU, and my overheating and noise issues were solved instantly - my PC went from a hot, noisy box to a cool and quiet machine of wonder. I had more overclocking headroom than before too.

Every one of my main rigs since then has also seen me spend entire weekends building and leak-testing. In fact, the last three PCs I've built have had a water-cooled CPU and GPU, as well as the various hotspots on the motherboard too. However, a lot of today's hardware simply doesn't need water-cooling as urgently as its equivalent back in the day. People still want water-cooling, but it seems to be a desire that's separate from the need to actually cool the hardware.

Even as far back as the release Intel's first mainstream quad-core CPUs, such as the Core 2 Quad Q6600, air coolers were quickly becoming potent enough for newcomers to question the significant outlay involved with water-cooling. The new heatpipe-clad tower coolers were becoming more efficient at every step, and there's usually an air cooler that will enable you to push all but the hottest running CPUs to the max, albeit with additional noise.

However, with Intel's LGA1155 CPUs, we've seen time and time again that air coolers such as Thermaltake's Frio and BeQuiet Dark Rock Advanced are more than able to provide just as much overclocking headroom as a decent water-cooling kit, and with similar noise levels too. Our current LGA1155 thermal test kit is a case in question - we've overclocked our Core i7-2600K to a lofty 4.6GHz, and both the aforementioned coolers handled this overclock admirably.


Graphics cards are a slightly different matter, however, as we've found just as much reason to water-cool the current graphics cards such as the GeForce GTX 590 3GB as any previous generation. In fact, even mid-range graphics cards such as the GTX 560 Ti 1GB get quite warm and noisy under load, and many third party coolers haven't been able to tame them significantly.

Motherboards are a bit of mixed bag, though. I'd go as far as saying that I've had far fewer failures and stability issues since I've been water-cooling the motherboard in my PCs - the hot-running chipset on LGA1366 motherboards, for example, is almost certainly the reason for quite a few dead systems in our lab, as well as other problems I've read about in various forums.


However, water-cooling your motherboard is an expensive business - full cover blocks can retail for over £100, and most LGA1155 motherboards simply don't require shedloads of voltage either. With Intel and AMD's next-generation high-end CPUs on the horizon, it will be interesting to see how future families of motherboards fare on a day to day basis - will LGA2011 be another hot-running LGA1366 for example?

Aside from noise reduction, where water-cooling still has the edge in a few key areas, there is one other reason to invest in water-cooling. It looks fantastic. There's a reason why we award points to cases that look good, and why modding projects are so popular. Lots of us want to have a cool-looking PC and are willing to spend money achieving that goal. Thankfully, the water-cooling industry has taken notice and strived to meet the demand for a diverse and flexible range of hardware.

You only have to look at websites such as Aquatuning, Chilled PC and FrozenCPU to see the huge the range of components on offer these days, which makes it very easy to make a unique water-cooled PC. In addition, the huge range of gear is appealing to those who want to go one step further than just bolting a load of off-the-shelf parts together, and instead want to either mod their PC or even build it from scratch.

Even if the next generation of hardware doesn't notably benefit from water-cooling, there's always a small gap between air cooling and extreme cooling, and there will still be a huge market for it, for the simple reason that it's cool.

What do you think the future has in store for water-cooling? Have you been put off for any reason, or do you swear by it? Let us know in the forums.

How to Secure the Virtual Office

Employees are increasingly gobbling up Internet-connected mobile gadgets: they'll buy nearly a half-billion smart phones this year and more than 50 million tablets, the latter a near-tripling since 2010.

As these gadgets flood offices and are used to connect remotely to company email and servers?it can boost efficiency, but also create security challenges that must be overcome in order for the distributed office of the future to succeed.

Companies have long recognized that mere 'perimeter security' around the office network basically stopped working in the last century, killed off by the portable laptop computer.  But traditional solutions to managing laptops?including running security software on them and setting up encrypted communications channels known as virtual private networks?fall short.  Attackers have learned to create custom malicious programs that remain undetected for days or weeks.  And VPNs only protect against eavesdropping, not already-infected devices.

The results can be ugly: witness the Department of Health and Human Service's Wall of Shame, a list of medical-record-related breaches including 32 incidents this year, of which 18 were caused by lost portable devices or laptops. And such security issues are widely expected to worsen.

The problems have forced information-technology teams to switch tactics: rather than try to secure the device, these teams are starting to come up with ways to protect sensitive data even if the devices are compromised.

For example, Heartland Payment Systems, the credit-card processing firm?chastened by the loss of 130 million records during a conventional 2009 server breach?now treats all devices, whether mobile phones or remote point-of-sale terminals, as compromised.  So these devices only refer to credit-card data using tokens; that is, special codes that correspond to the actual data, which sits in a protected in a digital vault, says Kris Herrin, chief technology officer.

In general, companies need to classify their data?which kinds require the tightest security, which kinds don't?can quickly be overwhelmed. "You need to really focus your security down to something that you can protect," Herrin says.

Joe is joined by Paul and Clive to muse about whether Battlefield 3 will really be better than Modern Warfare 3. The hype indicates that the former will be the better game, but Joe thinks they will be much of a muchness.

He?s also changed his mind on Rage, after being allowed to play the first three hours of the game and loving every minute. Previously, Rage has not received much praise, but it apparently plays brilliantly. Listen in to find out why.

We then quickly segue to the news that we could soon be playing one of the most highly anticipated games of the year: Deus Ex: Human Revolution is ready to ship. Yay!

We also grapple with the subject matter that was raised in the game's latest trailer (see the link above), and also discuss the confusing matter of the book of the game. The book is a prequel to Human Revolution, which is itself a follow-up prequel to the sequel of the original. Or something like that.


We also discuss whether DLC is necessarily a bad feature, and whether there?s any harm in long-term plans for a game that incorporates DLC, expansion packs or episodic updates. Is DLC evil and lazy, or is it just a bit of extra fun for a small fee?

We also answer a piece of reader-mail ? Mathew Whinney was so impressed with the visuals of Final Fantasy 13 on the PS3 that he asked why we don?t see the same level of graphical awesomeness on the PC. We try our best to answer this without subverting this gaming podcast into a hardware one. To be honest, we're not sure we succeeded.

Chrome still pushing forward, IE8 falls below 30%, IE6 falls below 10%

With IE9, Firefox 5, and Chrome 12 all out, the second browser war is only getting fiercer. Let's take a look at the market share numbers for last month.

Between June and July, Internet Explorer dropped 0.87 percentage points, much more than the previous month. Firefox, meanwhile, dipped 0.19 percentage points, more than it lost last month. Chrome increased 0.34 percentage points, but actually Safari was last month's biggest winner with gains of 0.57 percentage points. Opera lost 0.08 percentage points.

At 52.81 percent, Internet Explorer has once again hit a new low. IE9, the latest and greatest from Microsoft, last month captured 6.77 percent of the market (up by 1.14 percent percentage points). IE8 lost 0.77 percentage points and fell below the 30 percent mark, but it's still the world's most popular browser. IE7 fell 0.29 percentage points and IE6 fell a whopping 0.94 percentage points. As a result, IE6 is now finally below the 10 percent mark.

At 21.48 percent, Firefox is still below the peak it reached last year (24.72 percent). It appears that Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 are still not helping Mozilla regain overall market share. This is despite the fact that Firefox 5 last month captured a whopping 10.39 percent of the market (up by 8.34 percentage points). Firefox 4 lost 8.06 percentage points, while Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5 together lost 0.57 percentage points.

At 13.45 percent, Chrome has hit a new high. The browser's built-in updating system is working wonders for Google. Chrome 12 managed to capture 11.16 percent (up by 3.84 percentage points). Chrome 11 meanwhile fell 3.40 percentage points and Chrome 10 fell 0.10 percentage points.

The data is courtesy of Net Applications, which looks at 160 million visitors per month. As you can see above, the situation at TechSpot is slightly different: Firefox is first, IE is second, Chrome is third, Safari is fourth, and Opera is fifth. Once again, the only browsers to gain share at TechSpot between May and June were Chrome and Safari.

Custom PC veteran Phil Hartup and PC Pro's Mike Jennings join Joe and Paul for a late-night, post-pint rant. This episode of the podcast, perhaps because it's sponsored by alcohol, stumbles along with vague coherency through topics such as BioShock Infinite and Just Cause 2.

Mass Effect 2 is obligatorily drawn into the discussion too, as is tradition.

Boozy fumes aren't enough to stop us tackling the thorny issues, however - Phil explains why he expects Battlefield 3 will be a shoddy console port, while Joe shoots down the defence that 64-player multiplayer is something to be proud of.

*hic*


On top of that, Phil brings us a report on how APB: Reloaded is faring after being brought back from the dead, while Joe orates further on his favourite topic of the moment; Frozen Synapse.

As always, we've also got our weekly competition, which this time gives you a chance to win yourself a copy of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood on the PC and Raving Rabbids on the Nintendo 3DS. You can also find out who won the last competition and bagged themselves a Roccat Vire Gaming Headset.

As ever, the bit-tech hardware podcast features music by Brad Sucks, and was recorded on Shure microphones. You can download the podcast direct, listen in-browser or subscribe through iTunes using the links below. Also, be sure to let us know your thoughts about the discussion in the forums.

Deal Was Forged Over Choices and Chinese Food

?Congratulations on finally getting your bill through,? Mr. Obama said, according to a Democrat familiar with the conversation. ?You know you?re not going to get through the Senate, so now we need to focus on a solution.?

Roughly 48 hours later, at 8:15 on Sunday night, the president again called Mr. Boehner from the Oval Office.

?Do we have a deal?? Mr. Obama asked, then stopped abruptly. His senior advisers, standing nearby, gathered that Mr. Boehner had interrupted the president, and they braced for confirmation of the worst in Mr. Obama?s next words. Instead, there was relief.

?Congratulations to you, too, John,? Mr. Obama finally said.

In between those two calls was a weekend of nonstop horse-trading, from a windowless Capitol basement room to the Oval Office, over a deal to increase the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling and reduce future budget deficits. There were flashes of hope and heart-stopping moments when failure ? and a government default on its bills ? seemed inevitable.

Anticipated since Republicans won control of the House last November, the showdown was proving the ultimate test of divided government; success hinged largely on Mr. Boehner?s uncompromising House Republicans? providing enough votes to approve the deal and make sure it got to Mr. Obama by Tuesday midnight, the administration?s deadline for raising the debt ceiling, or very soon after.

Pivotal to the final deal-making was the Republican minority leader in the Senate, Senator Mitch McConnell, and his back-channel talks with his former Senate colleague, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Last week Mr. Biden had reached out to Mr. McConnell, but only on Friday morning did he call back ? just long enough to say that they had nothing to discuss until the fate of Mr. Boehner?s bill, which would have made a debt limit increase contingent on huge spending cuts and passage of a balanced-budget amendment, was settled. That night, soon after the Boehner bill cleared the House, the Democratic-led Senate rejected it; the next day, the House Republicans in turn rejected a plan that Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, was proposing.

That point, people on both sides recall, was the nadir after months of maneuvering and negotiations. The debt-limit deadline was four days away and the two sides were as far apart as ever, no compromise in sight. Mr. Boehner had moved farther right to win his members? support, and it seemed no one in either party could envision a compromise that could draw enough Republican votes to get through the House.

?Now I?m scared,? an administration official, speaking only on condition of anonymity, confessed then.

But dread was suspended on Saturday afternoon. At about 1:30, Mr. McConnell called Mr. Biden again, ready to engage. And the vice president was ready with a list of administration ideas for compromise ? worked up while the White House was forced to the sidelines of the partisan Congressional debates. The question was whether Mr. McConnell could speak for Mr. Boehner.

That morning, in the Capitol basement, intentionally far from roaming reporters? eyes, Mr. Obama?s chief Congressional lobbyist, Rob Nabors, had broached some of the administration proposals with Mr. Boehner?s chief of staff, Barry Jackson, and his policy director, Brett Loper.

In all such talks, officials say, the White House made it clear: which options Mr. Boehner chose would determine how many votes he would get from Democrats to offset his Republican defections, pass a debt-limit deal and avoid blame for a default.

That reality increased the 11th-hour leverage of Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic minority leader in the House. She and Mr. Reid, feeling left out, had been seething as the White House dealt with Republican leaders.

At 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Mr. Obama had them both to the White House to hear the compromise ideas that three aides ? Gene Sperling, the senior White House economic adviser; Jacob J. Lew, the budget director, and Bruce Reed, Mr. Biden?s chief of staff ? had worked up. If both parties later this year did not agree on a 10-year deficit reduction plan ? or approve a balanced budget amendment, which was unlikely ? so-called triggers would automatically impose policies that each party would want to avoid. (Ultimately, both sides agreed that the threats would be deep cuts in military spending ? anathema to Republicans ? and deep Medicare cuts, opposed by Democrats.)

Skype for iPad is Here [Updated]

Update: It seems that Skype pressed the big red button a bit too fast. In a tweet, the company explains that the application ?went live prematurely? and has now been pulled.

Finally you can do away with the oversized iPhone version of Skype on your iPad because the official app is  available for download.

The app works over both Wifi and 3G and brings everything you?d expect: video calling, voice, chat, Skype credits, and a sweet iPad optimised interface. It isn?t a universal app so you will need to download the app separately for the iPad.

The app works on iOS 4.0 or above and will both send and receive video using the front or back camera on iPhone 4, iPad 2nd Generation, and iPod touch 4th Generation. Naturally, 1st generation iPad?s will only be able to receive video.

The app still appears to be rolling out in iTunes so if you haven?t got access just yet, sit tight. In the mean time, whet your appetite with this video ad that leaked just over a month ago.
