Sigma Unicorn Review
Overclockers Club posted Sigma Unicorn Review.

"Wow, as soon as the packaging comes off of the case, you'll notice just how sleek the case is. There is a nice black finish on the case that isn't too glossy and fingerprints don't show up very easily. The plastic front bezel opens up to reveal the drive bays and a 120mm red LED fan at the bottom of the case, as well as the front panel audio and USB ports. On top of the front bezel you'll find the power and reset buttons. The back of this case reveals the 120mm exhaust fan that removes a majority of the hot air inside the case."

Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 mainboard review
guru3d posted Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 mainboard review.

"the GA-X48-DQ6 mainboard include a Quad BIOS, no less than 8 SATA devices can be connected, you'll have eight USB 2.0 connectors on the rear, as stated earlier on, two PCI-Express gen 2.0 ports. Also when you first glimpse at the mainboard you'll notice some subtleties, the first is that Gigabyte is trying to tackle heat in an original manner, and they are doing a nice job with that."

OCZ Technology 64GB SATA-II Solid State Disk Review
PC Perspective posted OCZ Technology 64GB SATA-II Solid State Disk Review.

"The new OCZ 64GB SATA-II SSD drive improves on the previous OCZ model's performance quite dramatically in burst speeds, average transfer speeds and especially write speeds that suffered horribly before. While the old drive really only was shining in the random performance tests the new revision is competing or beating the WD VelociRaptor (the fastest standard drive available for consumers) across the entire testing array. Even though the burst speed of the OCZ 64GB SATA-II SSD is less than half that of the WD VelociRaptor it is able to average a transfer speed just 18% behind at 95.1 MB/s sustained."

Corsair Dominator Hits 2462MHz - Sets Memory Frequency World Record
Corsair Dominator Hits 2462MHz - Sets Memory Frequency World Record

"The DOMINATOR family of memory represents the ultimate in performance technology engineering from Corsair. DOMINATOR is designed with the highest performing IC over-clocking capability and Corsair��s patented DHX cooling. DHX technology is an innovative quad-layer heat sink design that optimizes memory performance and reliability by maximizing thermal dissipation. With DHX Technology, heat is removed via two paths �V the leads of the BGA chips into the PCB (convective cooling) and the back of the BGA packages into the custom designed extruded aluminum heat sinks (conductive cooling). This allows DOMINATOR modules to achieve outstanding overclocking performance while remaining stable and reliable. "

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 OC: AIR vs Phase vs LN2 Cooling
Madshrimps compares different cooling methods.

"The Intel E8500 is the highest end dual core CPU currently on the market, it doesn't get any faster than this… or does it? In this Overclocking report we take a retail E8500 sample for a spin with high end air cooling, than mount a modified phase change cooling on it, and to finish it off pour a few liters of LN2 over it. How high can it fly? How fast does it get? Find out now"

Noctua NH-C12P Heatsink Review
Frostytech posted Noctua NH-C12P Heatsink Review.

"In this review Frostytech is testing out Noctua's new NH-C12P heatsink. The NH-C12P comes bundled with Noctua's 120mm NF-P12 fan. Tower heatsinks may offer the best performance of any heatsink style, but many computer cases can't accommodate +140mm CPU cooler heights. 'Down exhaust' or 'impingment' heatsinks are so named because the fan blows downward. The overhanging portion of this heatsink has the added advantage of cooling devices adjacent to the CPU socket too. "

10+ Things I Learned With my First DSLR
TheTechLounge posted 10+ Things Learned With their First DSLR.

"It strikes me as pure poetry that the acronym for point-and-shoot is POS. Wait, no, it's not. That would have been apt. The first time I borrowed a friend's Canon 20D, I was hooked. Taking product shots went from a detestable any-excuse-to-put-it-off event to something... simple? Fun? Remarkably, taking pictures changed from something that I sucked at to something I could really get into. And, just like that, I started shopping around for DSLR bodies."

Overclocked GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card
Digit-Life reviewed Overclocked GeForce 9800 GTX Graphics Card.

"We should state once again that GeForce 9800 GTX is based on the same G92 core as GeForce 8800 GTS 512 and 8800 GT (the latter has fewer processors though). It differs little from 8800 GTS 512, as our tests have proved it. But today we are going to examine two significantly overclocked cards. So, even though both feature reference design, they are still very interesting to review."

The AMD GAME! Experience - AMD Wants to Standardize PC Gaming
PC Perspective has written an editorial on AMD GAME! initiative.

"One question that immediately came to mind while sitting and starting at this information was: will it actually help? One of key problems with the PC gaming market (and that AMD agrees with) is that the variances in hardware, drivers, vendors and software make compatibility an issue and lead gamers into negative experiences that sour the PC as a gaming platform. AMD's goal was to try and prevent that issue by creating GAME! that would attempt to set certain standards for PC in order to guarantee a quality gaming experience."

TwinTech and Vvikoo overclocked 9600GT, 5-way roundup
Madshrimps posted 9600GT 5-way roundup .

"For quite some time now NVIDIA has allowed their partners to sell their reference products at overclocked speeds with a custom VGA cooler. Today we take a look at two of such none-reference clocked 9600GT video cards, one from newcomer Vvikoo and one from last year startup, TwinTech. We��l investigate how the extra clocks make the product stand out compared to 3 other samples we have tested before."

Sparkle 9800GTX
Bjorn3D reviewed Sparkle 9800GTX.

"The GeForce 9800GTX is a perfect example. While the name implies that it is an upgrade for the GeForce 8800GTX, which it in a way is, it also is just a higher clocked GeForce 8800GTS 512 MB. You might wonder why NVIDIA didn�t just use GeForce 9 for all their G92 based cards but we may never know why."

Lian Li PC-V1110 chassis
bit-tech reviewed Lian Li PC-V1110 chassis.

"Boiled down the basics, the V1110 is a case with a quiet, unassuming design. If it were a man then you��d describe it as a gentle giant and praise it for its inner strength. You��d admire that this is a case with nothing to prove �V and that��s something we can appreciate. "

Evercool NP-901 Royal Notebook Cooler Review
Virtual-Hideout posted Evercool NP-901 Royal Notebook Cooler Review.

"Here at VH, we seem to currently be on a little ��notebook cooler pad kick�� of sorts. Not that I��m complaining, especially after I received this next item up for review: the Royal Notebook Cooling Pad (Model: NP-901) from Acoustic PC. This sharp baby was created for laptops from 14�� to 17�� wide screen, has storage drawers for peripherals, and is fitted with USB 2.0 ports to mount externals. The Royal is made of 100% aluminum for maximum heatsink style cooling, and sports a smart, 8 cm silent fan that pulls exhaust air away from your laptop instead of pushing outside air into it, thus eliminating a significant amount of dirt and dust contamination and helping to prolong the life (and health) of your notebook."

ECS 8800GT N8800GT-256MX Review
motherboards.org posted ECS 8800GT N8800GT-256MX Review.

"If the price comes down as it was recently at $129.99 (after MIR), the 256MB version is easy to recommend. Performance on the ECS 8800GT 256MX card was less than the other 8800GT cards we have reviewed, mainly due to the reference clock speeds and the 256MB of frame buffer memory on the board. Once all the memory was enabled through the BIOS Flash, the card was decidedly higher performing in every benchmark. This is due to the extra memory as anti-aliasing settings add to the memory drain on a card while playing games. The 8800GT from ECS is an interesting card, as few other manufacturers just turn off extra memory as the expense is higher to produce cards with more memory than cards with less memory. "
