XFX HD5770 1GB Single Slot in CrossfireX Review
KitGuru posted a review on the XFX HD5770 1GB Single Slot in CrossfireX

KitGuru has reviewed many HD5770 graphics cards since we opened and we still believe it is one of the best value cards on the market, combining very reasonable pricing with decent DX11 gaming performance.

There have already been a massive selection of third party cards in recent months with faster clocks and improved cooling solutions.

Today however we take a look at not one, but two XFX single slot HD5770′s which appear to be an ideal partner for a high powered gaming rig built inside a small chassis design. Media buffs will find this card very appealing as XFX have told us it runs very quietly with their new cooling system.

The CPU cooler is probably one of the most important parts of your system, and a lot of people just deal with the stock cooler. A cool CPU is a happy CPU, but most decent coolers are large and they just won't fit in all cases, especially if you want to use a microATX case or maybe an HTPC case. A small cooler is what you need, and the one I have today might be perfect for a situation where a small but good performing CPU cooler is needed. It's from Silenx and it's called the Effizio EFZ-80HA2 Compact CPU Cooler. So read on to learn more about it and see how it performs...

Intel Core i5-760 and ECS P55H-AK Review
HardwareHeaven.com posted a review on the Intel Core i5-760 and ECS P55H-AK

There is one CPU from Intel which has remained at its price point without a refresh for some time now. That CPU is the Core i5-750 originally released in September 2009 it was long due a refresh and just a few weeks ago Intel made that move, releasing the Core i5-760. Today we have that very CPU on our test bench to find out how it compares with the older model and the direct competition from AMD at $200, the 1055T.
