Carnegie Mellon University Wins $1.17 Billion Verdict Against Marvell Semiconductor

Carnegie Mellon University Wins $1.17 Billion Verdict Against Marvell Semiconductor

Today a Pittsburgh jury ruled that hard drive control chips made my Marvell Semiconductor infringe on two patents owned by Carnegie Mellon University. After a 4 week trial in federal court nine jurors unanimously agreed that Marvell should pay the full sum that CMU’s lawyers asked for which is $1,169,140,271 in damages. Of course the verdict has to hold up on appeal, but if it does it will be the largest patent verdict in history, beating out the $1.05 billion verdict against Samsung for infringing patents own by Apple. This will also wipe out a year of profits at Marvell, which made a little over $900 million in 2011.

Noctua NH-L9i Low-Profile CPU Cooler Review

Noctua NH-L9i Low-Profile CPU Cooler Review

Noctua has been one of the top picks when it comes to air coolers.  Their over-sized air coolers provide great cooling and are actually pretty easy to install as well.  A little while ago we took a look at their NH-L12 CPU Cooler, which was a smaller low-profile cooler.  I really did not think I would see a smaller cooler than that from Noctua, but they recently released the NH-L9i which is only 37mm high and should be the perfect fit for your small form factor system.  Did I mention this cooler will not get in the way of any of your memory and it installs with only 4 screws!  Read on as we take a look!
