Galaxy Geforce 8800 GT HDMI version Review
The Guru of 3D posted Galaxy Geforce 8800 GT HDMI version review

Galaxy probably made one of the best looking and innovative GeForce 8800 GT's to date, period. Well not period, I mean I do have to at the very least tell you the difference over the reference model. How about a Blue PCB, custom cooler, black connector panel, HDMI output, two 6-pin power connector for optimal multi-phase power connectivity .. really a Guru's wet dream (oh come on admit it!).

It doesn't stop there though as this is supposed to be a tweakers card. For the fun factor the core clocks are set at default, but I can already tell you that we easily reached a 700 Mhz core frequency and the memory .. ugh that memory .. at 2400 MHz overclocked. Are your juices flowing yet ?

Aerocool I-Curve+ Case Review
3DXtreme posted a new review on the Aerocool I-Curve+ Case.

Aerocool has been delivering us their newest products for quite a while now and they have always impressed us with their latest designs. Today
3DXtreme is taking a look at the newest member of the ever growing product line of Cases from Aerocool. An intake, exhaust and two side intakes push the I-Curve+ Case to the edge of what's possible with air cooling within a Case. The front panel LCD with touch button controls adds a little bit of fruit to the mix, reminiscent of an Apple perhaps?

Spire Cool Force 3 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Spire Cool Force 3

Graphics card cooling is a continually expanding market as more and more people are turned on to the fact that better cooling on your GPU not only means improved temperatures and therefore maybe a better overclock, but they are usually a lot quieter too. With that in mind, Spire sent over their Cool Force 3; let's see how it does.

Scythe Andy Samurai Master Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Scythe Andy Samurai Master Heatsink Review

The Scythe Andy Samurai Master (SCASM-1000) heatsink may be big and voluminous, but it proves to be an effective and most importantly, quiet, heatsink to operate. The Andy Samurai Master stands 126mm tall, and the upper body a shocking 120mm square, but Scythe float much of this becometh over a relatively compact lower body (78x80mm in general shape). In other words, Scythe have built a heatsink to hover over the motherboard like a Vogon mother ship. Design wise, the Andy Samurai Master heatsink weighs in at 685grams and comes packing no less than six 6mm diameter copper heatpipes and a 120mm 1200RPM fan.

Antec NSK1380 SFF Case Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Antec NSK1380 SFF Case

The Antec NSK1380 SFF (Small Form Factor) Case has major bang for the buck! This case comes with a quality Antec EarthWatts 350 watt power supply which is 80%+ efficient and has Active PFC. One 5.25" drive bay and three HDDs can be installed. There is one 120mm fan and a blower style fan included. The left & right side panels are constructed from two layers of aluminum with plastic in the middle. This not only looks great it also provides sound dampening & substantially reduces system noise. A quiet system is important, especially if used in a HTPC environment. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

Thermalright Ultima-90 Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Thermalright Ultima-90

Thermalright has basically taken the Ultra-120 Extreme and given it to us in a smaller scale with the Ultima-90. By using a 90mm body, space should not be an issue in most cases aside from perhaps SFF PC's. The Ultima-90 actually surpassed my expectations and it's quite obvious the 6 heatpipes make a huge difference in transferring the heat from the processor.

Thermaltake T1000 Laptop cooler Review
XtremeComputing posted a review on the Thermaltake T1000 Laptop cooler

Not only does this heat make using my laptop for long periods of time uncomfortable, it can also damage and shorten the life of computer components. So it is in my (and probably your) best interest to keep your laptop as cool as possible. Laptops don't generally have any way to control the fan speed on its cooling fan(s) so what other way of keeping the laptop cool is there? Well that is where things like Thermaltake's range of laptop coolers come in handy.

Jetart CoolStand 2 NC5000 notebook cooler review
Elite Bastards posted Jetart CoolStand 2 NC5000 notebook cooler review

At the front of the unit, we can see two small plastic 'clips', which are used to keep the notebook securely in place during usage. However, the mainstay of the CoolStand 2 sits in the centre of the device, with the plastic platform which acts as the actual stand for the notebook, which can be adjusted through a handful of differently angled positions to suit your own work space and viewing/typing position. To complement the unit's stand, the CoolStand 2 also features a small, near silent fan positioned to draw heat away from the underside of the notebook. This is powered via USB (and the cable you can see attached and stored away in our screenshot). This naturally means that it takes its power from the laptop itself, although considering that the CoolStand 2 is aimed towards work or home usage when the notebook will almost certainly be plugged into the mains, this shouldn't be too much of a big deal to the majority of users.

Everquest II - Rise Of Kunark (PC) Review
GamingHeaven has just published a review of Everquest II - Rise Of Kunark for PC

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but MMOs tend to have a very strange effect on me. When starting a new title I literally get sucked into them, spending hours upon hours of my free time just exploring, leveling up and having fun. But after a few weeks of playing something happens. I'm not entirely sure where things go awry, but sooner or later I come to the startling realization that I'm not having fun anymore. This has happened to me with Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard and even World of Warcraft. But not with Everquest 2. Granted, I don't play it constantly and often take entire months off it. But with SOE pushing out a new expansion every few months (at least it feels this way) I can't help but being drawn back in to experience all the fresh content. The question is how long they can keep doing this - after all doing the same thing over and over again inevitably loses its pull.

Corsair TX750W Power Supply Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Corsair TX750W Power Supply.

2007 seemed to be the year of the power supply here at Bjorn3D. 2008 may end up being much the same. Today we are taking a look at the 750 watt version from the Corsair TX line of power supplies. According to Corsiar, the TX series is designed for PC enthusiasts looking for a great product at a great price. In our previous review of the 450 watt model from Corsair's VX line, we found that Corsair lived up to it's claims of a price-conscious product. Let's see if they keep with that trend with the TX750W.
