TweakTown posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 5770 1GB Video Card

Having recently taken the time to see what HIS was doing with the HD 5750, today we'll be seeing what exactly is going on with the more powerful HD 5770. We've managed to have a look at a few HD 5770s since the launch of the model and they've all done an excellent job of impressing us.

It's time to see what HIS have going on and what they can offer us which stands out from the pack. We're not going to do anything too out of the ordinary today when it comes to reviewing the card; we'll first take a quick look at the package before we have a closer look at the card itself and the specifications.

NVNews.net posted a review on the EVGA GeForce GT 240 SuperClocked

NVIDIA and EVGA have really put out an impressive graphics card with the GeForce GT 240. Aimed at the $99 and under market, the EVGA GeForce GT 240 should be a consideration for gamers on a budget. The graphics card puts up some good numbers at moderate resolutions and would be a solid choice for those gamers who would like to upgrade from a GeForce 8800 series or earlier graphics card.

Today for review I've got the massive Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler. I'm testing it on my Intel Corei5 750 CPU both at stock speeds and with an overclock. I don't have many other Socket1156 coolers on hand so I've put it up against two other Noctua coolers and one from Cooler Master for comparison.

ASUS EAH5750 1GB FORMULA Graphics Card Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the ASUS EAH5750 1GB FORMULA Graphics Card

ATI have been on a roll lately, entering the Direct X 11 era full guns blazing. They have conquered the enthusiasts' heart with their Hemlock HD5970, the high end market with their HD58XX series and the mainstream segment with the HD57XX series. We as consumers are now spoilt for choice, although saying this, ATI still need to work on their supply problems. Choosing a high end ATI card is quite easy as a result because you always go for whatever is in stock. However in the mainstream market, you are still left the daunting task of having a range of cards to choose from. This is where ASUS have come yet again to differentiate themselves from the rest with their all new custom "EHA5750 Formula".

booq Taipan Shadow XS Slim Laptop Messenger Bag Review
TestFreaks takes a look at the booq Taipan Shadow XS Slim Laptop Messenger Bag

Today for review I've got a rather unique bag for your smaller laptop or netbook. It's called the Taipan Shadow XS and it's from a company called booq. This bag is a messenger style bag, but it's much smaller than your average messenger bag. It features a very nicely padded main pocket for your computer along with six more pockets of assorted sizes and even a smaller pocket on the back of the bag just for your cell phone so it's always within easy reach. The bag is very well made overall, it should offer very good protection for whatever you put into it. booq even offers a lost and found service with it, you just register the bag for free and if someone finds it they can go to the website and report it found, then they'll contact you to help you retrieve your lost bag and hopefully the contents as well

Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the MSI Wind-Top AE2220-25SUS Nettop PC

MSI has taken their portable Wind-series netbook computer system and combined it with the functionality of a full-featured desktop computer system to create a stylish and compact NVIDIA ION-based Wind Top AE2220-25SUS computer system that fits in the same space as a 21.5-inch widescreen monitor. The small footprint doesn't just shelter a 1080p HDTV LCD display, it also incorporates touch-screen functionality along with an integrated HD web cam and high-fidelity 5.1-channel SRS Premium Sound. Blu-ray Discs can be played back from the MSI Wind Top AE2220, and a digital tuner is also built-in for receiving over-the-air HD broadcasts allowing the DVR functionality within Microsoft Windows 7. Ideal for every workspace conceivable, the dual-core 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 processor handles compute tasks and 4GB of DDR2 system memory ensure there's no delay in program responsiveness, while a 500GB hard drive offers high-capacity storage space for saved data and recorded audio or video multimedia.

DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Samsung XL2370 LED Monitor

Up until now, we've seen what appears to be seemingly few LED monitors on the market. A handful of manufacturers have a token model or two, but not much beyond that. Pricing seems to be fairly overall affordable, but availability can be hit or miss depending on the brand. Although the Samsung XL2370 has been on the overseas and American market for a few months already, it is finally starting to creep it's way into Canada now. Samsung is touting this their "best performing monitor yet" and throwing some pretty powerful words around when describing it's features.

Intel just announced their next series of notebook processors with the launch of Arrandale! What makes this processor so unique is the fact that Intel has taken their 45nm Nehalem architecture, enhanced it and has shrunken it down to 32nm. Intel didn't stop there though and took a 45nm graphics processor and placed it on the CPU as well. Read on to see what this does for performance!

The Point 2 View (P2V) from IPEVO is a tethered USB camera designed to free users from the shackles of the screen-mounted webcam.

ASRock H55M Pro (H55 Express) Motherboard Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASRock H55M Pro (H55 Express) Motherboard

As we have shown you with their X58 and P55 boards, ASRock has some excellent engineers behind the scenes developing boards that are able to give great performance and overclocking. With the launch of the 32nm Clarkdale Core i5 661, ASRock has come forward with their own H55 based motherboard.

Can ASRock continue their success with this new CPU and platform? After all, Clarkdale puts a GPU directly on the CPU packaging and can complicate the tracing layout of an already complex device like a motherboard. Luckily, we have had an ASRock H55M Pro in house for our initial testing of the Core i5 661 CPU and can give you a good answer. Read on to find out.

Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Intel Core i5 661 33nm Dual Core LGA 1156 Clarkdale Processor

I have heard many people say that the Dual Core processor is obsolete, I am going to have to argue that. There is a market for the dual core and that is mainstream, your average user needs a reliable computer platform to perform their everyday tasks and would not notice a difference that two extra cores would provide. It's all about the computing experience and getting the job done be it, surfing the internet, editing photos, watching an HD movie, or listening to music they want a platform that performs effortlessly and the Intel Core i5 Clarkdale Series is a solution.

USB Flash drives are a great way of carrying around portable data. However, keeping this data safe from prying eyes usually requires some form of security; whether it is password or encryption protection. In most cases, hardware encrypted USB Flash drives are the most secure way of locking up ones data. Of course these drives can be rather expensive. Thankfully, Kingston has released the relatively affordable DataTraveler Locker+ USB Flash drive, which features hardware-based encryption.

These Crucial modules may not be much to look at but do they pack some serious punch for achieving very high overclocks. Just how how far can these 1333 MHz sticks can go? Is 1600MHz good enough? No, that's for chumps. What about 1866MHz? No, that's for wannabees. Is 2000MHz within reach? Oh, now you're talking. Let's find out.

TweakTown posted a review on the A-DATA PC3-17600 Plus Series 4GB Dual-Channel Memory Kit

Thanks to the natural progression of memory speeds, we're quickly beginning to see that PC3-17600 is going to be the next number to own when it comes to high speed memory kits. As always, though, the kit hasn't just progressed in speed; it replaces the high price that PC3-16000 carried for a long time.

As time has gone on, we've seen that PC3-16000 modules don't need the fancy cooling fans and big heatsinks to achieve their speeds. As for the PC3-17600 kits, though, we already saw that G.Skill have implemented a nice fan with its modules and today we'll see what A-DATA have done to make sure their modules are able to achieve that massive 2200MHz memory clock.

Hardware Secrets posted their Core i5-661 CPU Review

Many years ago, experts predicted that in the future computer processors would have an integrated graphics processor, instead of having this component on the motherboard chipset or on a discrete graphics card. In fact, AMD was the first CPU manufacturer to announce the development of such solution, dubbed Fusion. However, it is its competitor, Intel, the first company to launch products using this idea (codenamed "Clarkdale"). Today we are going to review one of the first CPUs with an integrated graphics processor (GPU) to arrive on the market, Core i5-661.

Zalman's CNPS10X Extreme fulfills both roles pretty well care of a
cleverly integrated PWM fan speed controller in the top part of the fan shroud. Do nothing and the CNPS10X Extreme's 120mm fan will fall under BIOS control, automatically scaling fan speed from 1000RPM to 2150RPM as needed. Set the fan speed controller and the heatsink operates in one of three fan-duty modes, or responds to the turn of a dial to the exact fan velocity you want.

Cooler Master has really found a sweet spot in the market with their current crop of enclosures.

Their original CM 690 heralded in what could arguably be called a golden age for Cooler Master and they are now releasing the follow-up CM 690 II.

I am a huge fan of cars. I like sports cars of all types, but I get really excited when the cars are exotic, hail from Italy and sport a prancing horse on the hood. I will never be able to afford a Ferrari of my own, unless I hit the lottery, but I can afford the dead sexy Acer Ferrari One netbook.

This sexy, red machine has all sorts of Ferrari inspired cues that make it one of the best looking machines you can buy. It looks high-tech and really stands out from the more plebian netbook hoards. I often lament the fact that all netbooks are pretty much the same, but thankfully Acer offers something a lot different here.

Cooler Master is a brand name that constantly strives to offer the enthusiast community fresh new products with a proven track record. Although the original CM-690 was launched back in August 2007, that chassis still remains a popular choice for do-it-yourself computer system builders even today. Skip to 2010, and Cooler Master launches the CM690-II Advanced mid-tower case to compliment the CM-series enthusiast product line. The new RC-692-KKN2 model improves upon the original design with an updated look, and adds a new list of features fitting of the modern technology landscape.

With two versions being released, Cooler Master has really set up the 690 II to do very well in the sub $100 market. The CM 690 II Advanced will retail for $99.99 and give you looks, cooling performance, price, and features that would be hard to find on any case regardless of the price range. For 79.99, you can get the non-Advanced model which includes most of the same great characteristics that the Advanced has, but just loses a few of the more unique features. With all that these two cases offer, Cooler Master has really created a great product that is functional, economical, and will fit nicely in the CM line-up.

A-DATA S592 128GB Solid State Disk Review
TweakTown posted a review on the A-DATA S592 128GB Solid State Disk

Just when we thought our run of Indilinx Barefoot SSDs was over, one last drive popped up. A few months ago A-DATA announced in a press release that the S592, an Indilinx Barefoot controlled drive, would be made available with full Windows 7 TRIM support and come from their factory with a new firmware update. For a short time the S592 was on the market with older non-TRIM firmware, but those days have passed.

I was unable to find the A-DATA S592 listed for sale at any of the US e-tailers that we normally check, but did find it all over Europe and Asia. A few sellers even list drives for sale on EBay USA. It looks like you are going to have to spend around 435 USD to get a 128GB drive like the one we are testing today. The EU and APAC regions will pay less since the shipping costs are greatly reduced.

Overall, I really like the Cooler Master CM690 II Advanced PC gaming case. It is very easy to work in and on. The ability to remove items from the case that are not needed or to make room for things like dual radiators without cutting up a perfectly good case is a really big plus. The ability to use multiple 120mm or 140mm fans, and combinations thereof, to cool the case is a big plus. I also really liked the overall look of the case. It has simple lines and not an in your face aggressive design, but more blending in and not look out of place in my living room.
