jaydee116 i'm not defending it, i'm really complaining about the availability (or not) of stuff here
but i do think you're not taking account of the fact that as a printed mag it's totally UK centered...
personally i've always found printed media to be hopelessly out of date in the PC field - hence why i haven't bought any ever since i got adsl.....

They would get their ass sued off by Ford for starters but more importantly they would loose credibility and a large reader base. No one that is interested in a 2004 Mustang or Corvett wants to hear the comparison from 1999 Mustang to 2004 Corvett!

Cars>watercooling again??
i'm not a driver, but it strikes me that.....
1) there is 1 generation between the kit they should have had and the one they used.... so that would imply a 2003 mustang to 2004 corvette comparison. i don't know about printed car mags, but TV car shows i've seen seem to be full of "comparing a new car to existing similar cars" items....

well for that to be of use the reason for their weird results would need to be determined.....
pHaestus has 2-2.5C between a 5000 and a 6000 - i doubt their mildly overclocked p4 would have enough extra heat to up that much - so if we say 3C better that would still leave the swiftech
way underperforming all the others...
unless the reason for it's freak result is determined and corrected...
hmm - don't suppose they could have had the fans turned right down??
