Corsair is the best known memory and power supplies. Their products are also reasonably priced. Corsair is working with Asetek. It has come up with h50 which took a good market and left good reputation as well. But H50 performed admirably. It is the adjustable fan which is controlled by the user itself and which performs extremely well and also quietly. It has 35 degree stock cooler. This has been reviewed in 2009. The feedback of the users is good for the cooler. Exp- people overclocked 3.8 and the temp stayed for 70 c. Now they have come up with H70. If you find difficulties in setting up Corsair Hydro Cooler H70, talk to an online PC repair company for tech support.

Corsair Hydro cooler H70 is also a liquid cooler. Asetek team has made some changes in the cooler. The thickness of the cooler has been reduced to 12cm radiator with 12cm fan push/pull airflow. It will also go to the users with two voltage regulator cable, one for each fan to reduce the noise. Though, the Exhaust feature will be same as H50. The H50 has single fan flow. The new one will keep the CPU till 51c. So as per the performance of the cooling and noise it is looking good. The cost of the cooler is $100 in the market and it is more than H50. What we can say is the cooler has the new and optimized cooling design. So the catastrophic failure will be less due to heat sink. We hope that the thicker radiator will improve the pump. Now again if the H50 and H70 gives a same air flow then people will think twice before they go for it.

Is the internet speed is very slow when you try to download something from the web. If so, this article will help you to make your computer work much faster in regards to the data transfer. Just follow some basic steps and it will resolve the issue.

We can do that from Registry. But one thing should remember, before you do something from registry please take the back up of it. Or else you will be in MESS. You can also get in touch with a computer services company for resolving this issue.

Steps: Click on start then in run box type regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICSharing\Settings\General\InternetMTU

Restart your computer.

This part will help you to download something from the internet much faster.

1) The upload bandwidth of the user you are downloading from is maxed out
2) The peer could be in other continent or it is too far from you so it is taking time.
3) May be the thing that you are downloading that is also using a bandwidth timer. Some of the client use upload and download speed to avoid abuse.
4) Users could also be using a third party program to limit the speed of traffic.
5) Your internet connection could be shared by others on the LAN connection.
6) Your ISP may be using the P2P traffic.
7) Third party firewall could be the problem.

So how do we access the Event Viewer?

•     Click the Start button

•     Select "Run"

•     Type "eventvwr" (without the quotes) in the "open" field

•     Click ok

The screen has two parts: Left and right. In the left part you will be able to see the three sources as mentioned above.

•     The application log: this is where applications’ / programs’ events are logged. E.g. if the antivirus in your pc encounters a problem, the problem will be logged in the event viewer.

•     The security log: This is used to show the valid and invalid logon attempts to your attention. It also shows the file access, creation and deletion of files.

•     The system log: This is where you will find events logged by Windows system components. In this log it can also reveal some VERY interesting troubleshooting information about your system.

Once each of these types is clicked the details of the events will show up in the right pane.

Moreover if the pc is connected to a domain then 2 additional logs are generated too.

•    Directory service log
•    File Replication service log

The recent explosion of malicious software programs have taken the security software companies in a storm. In a recent survey it has confirmed that how difficult it has become for them.

These companies takes at least a maximum of two days for these companies to block a website designed to attack a computer visiting it, according to the latest report from NSS Labs, which tested security software suites against fresh malware released on the Internet.

This magnitude has been found to be alarming wake up call for the security industry.

NSS Labs does independent security software testing. Unlike many other testing companies, it does not accept money for vendors for performing the tests, a stance that the company’s president Rick Moy says results in more accurate evaluations.

NSS labs did mimicry as to how the common public surfs the web, ultimately reaching malicious web sites.

Enterprises are most at threat from fresh customized malware. Security companies, share malware samples, but if no company sees or detects the malware, it could quietly circulate and potentially infect machines, stealing data. Even if it is undetected for a short period of time, it is still enough to infect a corporate network

Certain vendors employ reputation systems in order to detect malicious web sites. If a software suite did not block a bad website the first time, they continued to test the site against the software every eight hours to see how long it took a vendor to add protection.

Block rates varied depending on how long the malicious Web site has been active. The researchers have a “zero-hour” criterion where it checks whether the software can stop newly found sites. The results aren’t great. The best vendor was able to block new sites only 60.6 percent of the time

The Windows- versus- Mac debate is fast becoming a hot topic among computer users. For some Mac is popular because of the iPhone for others Windows because of ease of use. It is basically a matter of choice, but some users need both the platforms for work purpose. For such users using both the systems tend to clutter their workspaces and one solution is to have a separate Windows system altogether and run Windows on the Mac in a Boot Camp partition.

The primary disadvantage with this is that you can’t run Windows and the Mac OS at the same time—you have to restart the system and boot into the other OS every time you need to switch. Another option is to run Windows using virtualization software on the Mac, such as Parallels Desktop for Mac, VMWare Fusion, or VirtualBox . Virtualization is a rather elegant solution, but in order for it to work effectively, you need an Intel-based Mac, with a relatively powerful processor, lots of RAM, and plenty of hard drive space to spare.But the simplest solution is using a KVM switch.

KVM switches were designed to enable a single console to connect to the Keyboard, Video screen and Mouse ports on many target computers. It is just remote access software that is used over a local network connection instead of remotely over the Internet.

Now let us see how to set-up a virtual KVM switch between Windows and Mac systems.

For this we utilize two different types of remote connections. For our first scenario we use a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) application. For our second we use Windows’ own built-in Remote Desktop Connection conduit.

Before you start make sure which of your computers will be the primary system and which will operate as the "headless" computer (a power cord and an Ethernet cable are connected to it, but there’s no display).

All of our examples were done with a Mac running OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard) and a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Setting Up the Mac as a VNC Server:

For our first scenario, we’ll be using a Windows PC as the primary computer and a Mac as the headless system. To do this, you have to set the Mac up as a VNC server.

Perform these steps for the same

1. Open System Preferences.

2. In the System Preferences window, click the Sharing icon to open the Sharing preferences window.

3. In the Sharing preferences window, turn on the Screen Sharing service by selecting the radio button next to its entry in the Service list.

4. Click on the Computer Settings button to create a VNC password. Enable the "VNC viewers may control screen with password" setting and set a password.

5. Click “OK”, and you’ll be prompted to supply a username and password of a user who has administrator privileges.

6. When you connect to the Mac from the VNC client software on your Windows system, you will need to supply the client with the Mac’s IP address. Therefore you’re also going to need to make sure that your Mac has a static IP address and is therefore not set to acquire its IP address via DHCP.

7. Change the "Configure IPv4" setting from "Using DHCP" to "Manually." You will next have to manually assign an IP address. (If the "Configure IPv4" setting is already set to "Manually" then your Mac is already set with a static IP address.) Be sure to assign an IP address that is not already assigned to another system device—either manually or via DHCP.

8. Your Mac’s IP address should now be set to the one you just specified and it will always have the IP address when connected to your local network.

We have all come across USB flash drives which are also known as thumb drives or pen drives. We all know what a useful and handy gadget it is. There was a time when we had the floppy drives, then came the CD-ROMs. But both became passé due to their disadvantages – these didn’t have higher storage capacity, nor were those portable enough. Then came the flash drives, which created a huge craze in the market within a very short time.

What is Flash Drive?

Flash drives are such a portable device that it can store data without a power connection. One just needs to plug it to a USB port on a computer and it starts working.

A lot has been talked about USB flash drives but are these drives shock proof or water proof? Can these drives endure the rigors of life like an occasional bump or a run through water? The answer is a big NO.

Waterproof Flash Drives – What’s Inside?

Here comes the Waterproof USB Flash Drives. When these came to the market, people who usually have to do a lot of run around took it as a new savior device. These waterproof USB drives are much safer to use. These have a much rugged case than the normal ones. These come with a watertight cap to make it well protected.

The Advantages

So, what are the advantages of waterproof usb compared to the normal ones? Let’s find it out:

• Very tough

• Water proof

• Shock proof

• Electro magnetic resistant

• Made of silicon or other impact resistant materials

• Storage space is as par with the normal ones

• Custom logos available with many manufacturers
