RealTemp

Information on their site mentions, RealTemp is a temperature monitoring for computers with Intel processors. The software is reading the Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) on each core.

DTS reported how close the operational temperature of the maximum temperature allowed in the secure processor. Thus, the smaller this distance the operational meaning is more dangerous for your computer.

Yummy, this application does not need to be installed for use. Besides, he has a feature to test whether the DTS sensors that have a problem or not. RealTemp officially supports Windows 2000, XP and Vista (32bit and 64bit), while Windows 7 is not mentioned on its website.

CoreTemp

If you only read the Intel RealTemp, CoreTemp could be a choice for AMD users. Almost all kinds of Intel and AMD processors are supported by this application.

The application also measures the temperature on each core on multi-core processors are used. Any sensors that read the same, namely DTS sensor that is claimed to be more accurate than the thermal diode sensors.

One interesting feature is the ability to do logging, recording alias. With this the user can see the track record of processor temperature fluctuations during the period of time, the resulting data can be processed into a graph ciamik through spreadsheet applications like OpenOffice.org Calc or Microsoft Office Excel.

CoreTemp has supported operating system called Windows 7, in addition to Windows XP and Vista, of course. There are few records, for AMD Phenom CoreTemp users will not actually display the absolute temperature.

Teknik Pijat Kulit Kepala Untuk Rambut Sehat

Alasan melakukan pemijatan pada kulit kepala adalah untuk kesehatan rambut. Kabar yang lebih baik lagi, pemijatan ini tidak perlu dilakukan oleh profesional.

Keuntungan memijat kulit kepala adalah untuk meningkatkan sirkulasi pada kulit kepala. Kegiatan simpel ini akan membuat akar rambut menerima nutrisi lebih cepat dan mendorong racun keluar dari kepala sehingga sel-sel rambut akan menjadi lebih baik.

Memijat kulit kepala bisa dilakukan dengan tangan tanpa bantuan apa-apa saat kepala kering atau menggunakan minyak. Untuk melakukan pijatan dengan tangan saja, yang Anda butuhkan adalah ujung jari untuk menggosokkan kulit kepala dengan melingkar. Tidak ada cara yang benar atau yang salah, namun jika Anda mulai merasakan geli pada kulit kepala, berarti pijatan sudah bekerja.

Mulailah memijat dari kepala bagian depan dan perlahan-lahan ke bagian belakang. Lakukan pemijatan ini dalam dua hingga tiga menit dan Anda bisa melakukannya sejarang atau sesering mungkin setiap harinya. Waktu terbaik untuk melakukan pijatan ini adalah sebelum Anda mencuci rambut.

Memijat kulit kepala dengan minyak akan memberikan manfaat lebih. Selain manfaat yang didapatkan seperti di atas, memijat kulit kepala dengan minyak akan melumasi kulit kepala sehingga tidak ada ketombe.

Penggunaan minyak ini juga meremajakan kulit kepala yang kering, mendorong produksi minyak alami rambut dan mengatasi serangkaian masalah rambut seperti rambut rusak, ujung rambut bercabang, melembutkan rambut dan memperkuat akar rambut.

Berbeda dengan pemijatan dengan tangan saja, penggunaan minyak ini hanya bisa dilakukan maksimal satu minggu sekali dan tidak bisa dilakukan sendiri. Pergilah ke salon untuk mendapatkan pemijatan dari profesional.

Jika Anda tetap ingin melakukan hal ini sendiri, maka yang Anda butuhkan adalah semangkuk minyak dengan menempatkan mangkuk tersebut di dalam panci berisi air panas (jangan sampai air masuk ke dalam mangkuk). Pastikan juga minyak dalam keadaan hangat dan tidak panas untuk menghindari kulit kepala yang terbakar.

Oleskan minyak pada ujung jari dan kemudian lumuri kulit kepala dengan minyak tersebut. Anda juga bisa mengaplikasikan minyak dari akar hingga ujung rambut.

Setelah mengoleskan minyak keseluruh bagian rambut, gunakan jari-jari untuk membuat gerakan yang pelan. Mulailah pemijatan dari samping kuping kemudian ke bagian atas kepala dan perlahan ke bagian belakang leher. Biarkan minyak di kulit kepala Anda selama 30 hingga 60 menit atau lebih lama lagi baruk kemudian dibersihkan.

New releases of the week: HP Envy 14

Our new release for this week is the HP Envy 14, HP's latest addition to the svelte Envy series. Despite coming in as the least expensive entry point into the Envy line, it strikes an effective middle ground between portability and power.

In what is becoming a weekly tradition here at laptopical.com, I'm bringing you some of the best new laptop releases of the week, and inviting you to let me know what you think. Did I miss something? Show you something you didn't know was out there? Let me know in the comments!

I am personally a big fan of 14" laptops. This is a recent thing - it wasn't long ago that I perceived attempts at crossovers as wasteful, since you ended up paying top dollar for something that was neither portable nor powerful. But I think technology has gotten there, and while I'd love for this form factor to get even lighter, more powerful and cheaper (strangely, I'd like that for all other form factors too ;)), it has gotten to the point where I heartily recommend such laptops.

And the fact that the HP Envy 14 is actually 14.5" is actually a comfort to me. 14" never felt like a true middle ground between 13.3" and 15.6" the way 14.5" does.

The HP Envy 14 is now available starting at $1049 after a coupon. It's not a low starting price, but it is the least expensive of all the HP Envy laptops, and has the same artful and stylish design as the rest of the series. The 14.5" laptop weighs 5.25lbs and the base price gets you Core-i3-370M, 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, long lasting battery and perhaps most interestingly of all, packs a 1600x900 resolution standard. Check out more info here and here.

At the same time, the HP Envy 13 just got a huge price drop, giving another comparatively inexpensive option for Envy lovers. This 13.3" laptop weighs just 3.8lbs, and has a nice coupon on it so that you can really spec it up and still end up paying only $1099. It's not the laptop this post is about, but feel free to check out more info here and here. Thanks to LHP for the tip on that one. Read More..

AVADirect Clevo X8100 Core i7 Gaming Notebook

When I unpacked the AVADirect Clevo X8100, I coined a new acronym: LINO, for "laptop in name only."

It's hard to describe just how massive the Clevo X8100 is. I can tell you that this laptop ships with a bright, colorful 18.4-inch display. I'll also mention that it weighs 12.5 pounds, without the power brick (it's almost 15 pounds with the 220W power supply). But no words can prepare you for the overall heft of this beast. The problem is isn't so much the weight as it is the balance: Toting the Clevo is awkward. You should use the included carrying case, even when moving the unit relatively short distances.

I'll hit the high points first. The 18.4-inch, LED-backlit LCD screen is one of the better ones we've seen on a mobile PC. Colors are richly saturated, and side-to-side viewing angles are surprisingly good for a laptop. Vertical viewing angles are lacking, but that's pretty typical. Blu-ray and high-definition WMV files looked stunning, although the glossy screen reflects background light. We tossed in the Blu-ray versions of Serenity and Casino Royale, and both looked terrific. Games also looked good--well saturated, with relatively decent black levels in dark areas.

The mobile Intel Core i7-820QM quad-core processor delivered excellent performance, posting an impressive mark of 120 in WorldBench 6. As expected with such a beefy system, though, battery life was a scant 1 hour, 26 minutes.

DVD upscaling was less than fulfilling. I popped in the DVD version of Serenity, which offers very good image quality, and noticed substantial edge enhancement when playing the movie in PowerDVD. The upscaled image also appeared a little soft.

Audio is a mixed bag. Movies sounded pretty good, as did games, though volume levels were fairly low. The speakers lacked accuracy in musical material, however, with a noticeable boost in midrange, a muted high end, and limited bass. Mysteriously, stereo imaging with music seemed to be shifted to the right just a bit, while movie audio was centered almost perfectly.

Game performance was quite good for a laptop, due to the system's dual nVidia GeForce 285 GTX mobile GPUs. Still, it wasn't quite up to the performance of a desktop with discrete graphics. The Far Cry 2 action benchmark barely hit 20 frames per second in DirectX 10 mode at the full 1920 by 1200 resolution. The recently released Just Cause 2 fared better, reaching 35 fps with all of the eye candy pumped up (but without antialiasing enabled). If you're willing to sacrifice a little resolution and a few graphics settings, you should get good frame rates in most PC games.

The keyboard is excellent for typing, and the additional function keys--reminiscent of Logitech's gaming-keyboard macro keys--look promising. AVADirect includes a lightweight macro-recording tool, making this laptop particularly attractive for MMO players. Despite the large keyboard area, the keyboard still lacks discrete Page Down/Up and Home/End keys, though it does have a dedicated numeric keypad.

Network connectivity is quite good, with gigabit ethernet, 802.11n, and Bluetooth available. Interestingly, the Clevo X8100 offers an HDMI input port, allowing external HDMI devices--such as a game console--to use the laptop's display. Other display interfaces include an HDMI output port and a dual-link DVI port, but no analog VGA output. Four USB ports are present, two on each side; one of the USB connectors on the right side serves double duty as an eSATA port. Audio input and output jacks are on the right side, as well. Also available on the right is a connector labeled 'CATV'; a TV-tuner card is optional, but wasn't included in our test unit. The left side houses all the video connections and a mini-1394 jack.

Ultimately, I have mixed feelings about the AVADirect Clevo X8100. I love the large display and the overall feel of the keyboard, but I'm somewhat put off by the awkwardness of the weight distribution and the sheer physical bulk of the unit. The game performance is excellent for a laptop, but it still can't quite keep up with that of even small form-factor desktop PCs that use current-generation, discrete graphics cards. The price of our tested configuration (as of June 3, 2010) is steep, too, at over $4100. However, the entry price, which still includes the 1080p display and the dual GeForce GTX 285M GPUs, is under $2500. If you're looking for an all-in-one gaming system, the Clevo X8100 will fit the bill. But be sure to carry some ibuprofen for the inevitable backache.
