VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, today announced that Maxtor's DiamondMax® and MaXLine™ Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives have been validated by VIA to run with the VIA K8T800 chipset for the new AMD Athlon™ 64, AMD Athlon 64 FX, and AMD Opteron™ processors designed for the desktop, multi-processor workstation and server markets.

MCW5002 K8 Water Block:

The MCW5002™ series of water-blocks is designed for extreme microprocessor cooling applications, where 1/2" ID (5/8" OD) tubing is desired. They can be used either in straight liquid cooling configuration, or in conjunction with thermoelectric cooling elements ( MCW5002-PT™ thermoelectric assembly for the P4 curently available). 1/2" barb fittings, for maximum flow rate. Core Technology: Patent pending Diamond-Pin Matrix© copper base plate for optimal heat transfer, and turbulent flow.
