Another year has passed, how time flies! Our Madness continues to search for higher performance PC products at affordable prices. Let´s look back at what has happened in 2005 and what we can look forward to in 2006.

A huge jump in CPU aircooling performance in 2005 due to heatpipes and large fans becoming the standard!

Still waiting on that jump for air cooling, the AC solution for the x1800XT and a simply modified Silencer won't do it (stock one gets really dam loud).

A 92mm silencer with longer fins tough would instagib Zalman and Thermalright

Still waiting for bigger NB fans as well, or cooler chipsets as loud chipset fans can be real partypooper.
