PS3 Hypervisor Hacked
The seemingly uncrackable has been sliced, diced and dissected.
According to George "Geohot" Hoz, the man responsible for jailbreaking the iPhone, the infamous Playstation 3 Hypervisor is no longer an obstacle. His blog entitled On the PlayStation 3 suggests that his attempts at hacking the PS3 were very fruitful.
Thermalright Ultra eXtreme Keyring Mod
Increased cooling and retention in the form of a small modification.
The Thermalright Ultra eXtreme is probably the most recommended aftermarket cooler within enthusiast circles. Its high performance air cooling capabilities surpass its competition, and even puts some water cooling kits to shame. However, the cooler isn't without its faults. The surface which contacts the CPU is machined quite roughly, causing many ridges which need to be filled with thermal compound to ensure adequate contact. In addition to this, the pressure of which the cooler exerts on the CPU tends to be lacklustre due to the limited thread on the retention screws. The former requires sandpaper, large amounts of time, and some elbow grease to fix. The latter, on the other hand, can be solved with a neat trick which involves a keyring and some double sided tape.
