Free Full HD Player Download

Yes… I found a free Full HD player that can play my Panasonic HDC-SD700 1920×1080 50p m2ts files smoothly. The great free VLC Media Player cannot play those MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 1080 50p camcorder video files (playback is slow with hang here and there). It only can play smooth up to 25 fps video clips. However, the search is over. I found Splash Lite ~ the ultimate free HD player!

Prime95 ~ CPU torture tool

Prime95 is also known as Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS). It is a tool to find World Record Primes. However, it can be used as CPU torture tool as well. It is a great tool to stress your CPU because the torture test will use up all your CPU core and 100% CPU utilization. Who want to torture his own CPU anyway? Overclocker like me will need it. Besides this tool, I also use SpeedFan to monitor CPU temperature and CPU-Z for CPU core speed and bus speed.

Cooler Master Geminii S (風神鍛) CPU Cooler

Continued from Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 vs SilverStone SST-ST60F

Cool… Cool… Make it cooler. Hehe… I selected Cooler Master Geminii S (風神鍛) as my CPU cooler after reading lot of CPU cooler review. I love it because it is small, low profile and powerful. However, it might not fit with Corsair Twin2X4096-6400C4DHX memory modules that I want. Cooler Master Geminii S only allows 4 cm height memory modules to be installed. Will GIGABYTE EP45-DS3 has enough space for me to install it?
