Smooth Creations Lanshark PYRO System Reviewed
TestFreaks.com has reviewed the Smooth Creations Lanshark PYRO System

Today we're taking a look at the Smooth Creations Lanshark Pyro system, obviously it's part of the Lan themed series so it's rather small and portable, the Pyro in the title refers to the paint job, it's painted with flames all over the case, and even some of the inside components are painted to match the theme as well. The case is actually a clear acrylic case so it's basically see through, besides the flames, but it's painted in a way that you can see everything inside to show it off at your next lan event. The actual system is based from a DFI Lanparty P45 motherboard with an Intel QX9650 Processor, Sapphire Radeon 4870 video card and four gigs of GSkill ram to round things out.

NVIDIAs GeForce GTX 295 Overclocked
TweakTown overclocked NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 295

While some would say "why bother overclocking something so fast?" - We reply with "why not?!" - The particular card of choice is the Gainward card we’ve already looked at. The overclocking software of choice? – Well, we thought we would try out the Expertool software that Gainward offered on their utility CD that came with the card.

With Expertool installed and ready to go and no real idea of what kind of clocks we should be able to achieve, many hours were spent increasing the core, memory and shader which was followed by loops of 3DMark Vantage to check just how stable the card was.

Tritton AX51 True 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset Review
Modders-Inc.com posted a review on the Tritton AX51 True 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset

Back in Sept of 07 I had a chance to look at Tritton's USB AXPC headset. Today we are going to be taking a look at the AX51's which are a true 5.1 surround sound headset. The AXPC's performed really well for my liking, and have been in use since back in Sept. They actually took the place of my Sennheiser HD280 Pro's on the main rig, up until the day I decided to go Vista. We will be seeing how the AX51's work out this time. Will they offer the same sound quality that I had seen in the AXPC's? Read on to find out.

Akasa Nero AK-967 Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Akasa Nero AK-967 Heatsink

Akasa's Nero AK-967 heatsink is based on the popular "heatpipe direct touch" technique, and like so many CPU coolers, for today's class of heatspreader capped processors it's the only way to go! The Akasa Nero AK-967 heatsink FrostyTech is reviewing today is equipped with vibration absorbing rubber fan posts that support a 120mm PWM fan which scales from 500-1500RPM. The roughly 600 gram Nero heatsink is compatible with socket 775 and socket 1366 Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad/Core I7 processors.
