Kingston HyperX DC DDR3-1800 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Kingston HyperX DC DDR3-1800

When building or upgrading a new PC there are always several options to consider regarding every component. One of the most confusing, for many users at least, is memory. I have friends(as I'm sure most of us do)that have trouble distinguishing between memory and hard disk space, that's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about all the different options out there. DDR2 had several different categories as the specifications aged and evolved. When DDR3 came about we were faced with an array of choices since the day the first product hit the shelves. Memory rated for different bus speeds, timings, voltages, and of course, prices.

Enter the HyperX line of memory from Kingston. Known for it's higher quality than their base line, it has long been popular with overclockers and enthusiasts. With its higher speeds and tighter timings, it is a favorite among many. With the advent of DDR3 HyperX is available in speeds from 1066 MHz all the way up to 2000 MHz.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 Dual GPU Review
TechSpot posted a review on the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 Dual GPU

Balance has now been restored with the introduction of the GeForce GTX 295, giving Nvidia a weapon to compete for the performance crown.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 dual-GPU graphics card features 1792MB of memory which corresponds to the memory capacity of two GeForce GTX 260 boards. However, unlike the Radeon HD 4870 X2 which is literally two Radeon HD 4870 products stuck together, the GeForce GTX 295 seems to be more of a hybrid, sharing specs of both GeForce GTX 260 and 280 products.

Electronic Arts Mirror's Edge Reviewed
ITreviewed posted a review on Mirror's Edge

From the makers of the amazing Battlefield franchise comes a first-person action adventure unlike any other. Available for next-generation consoles and the PC (that's what we like to see - Ed!), Mirror's Edge definitely takes risks. Moving the first-person game in a totally new direction, DICE, an Electronic Arts studio, has done something radical with the traditional established mechanics of first-person movement. What's makes Mirror's Edge special is that it changes the way that players are able to move in first person. No more restrictions, no more being blocked by simple barriers such as walls and fences. In Mirror's Edge you can move like a real person (albeit a very flexible one!), with the ability to run, jump, vault and slide in a way that has never been seen before in a first person game. Mirror's Edge is also special because it introduces a strong iconic videogame heroine called Faith who, predictably, is very hot.

NVIDIA's Ion Small Form-Factor PC Platform at CES
HotHardware posted an article on NVIDIA's Ion Small Form-Factor PC Platform

At the Consumer Electronics Show this past week, NVIDIA was demonstrating a new reference platform for an ultra small form-factor multimedia PC and we should underscore the word "ultra". To say this new product concept is tiny would be an understatement. Consider if you will, an entire PC, capable of decoding and playing full 1080p HD video content, in a box that fits in the palm of your hand with a 3" x 4" motherboard.

We met with Drew Henry, NVIDIA's General Manager of MCP products, at CES and he gave us a tour of Ion, as well as a demonstration of its capabilities. We've got NVIDIA's Ion in today's HotHardware Video Spotlight, so we'll let Drew do the talkin'.

Sunbeam and NorthQ CPU Coolers Review
Driverheaven posted a review on the Sunbeam and NorthQ CPU Coolers

Over the years weve seen countless designs spanning across a huge range of coolers on the market. Due to the ever increasing thermal output of modern components, companies have been evolving their cooling solutions over the years to keep up with the demands. Today were going to take a look at three coolers which use an exposed heatpipe design, providing the heatpipes with direct contact to the core as opposed to transferring heat through a base.

iXBT Labs posted a review on the Intel Core i7 920 Processor

Core i7 is apparently a good product. We insist that its main goal is not to improve performance. It wouldn't be a failure even if it was less efficient than Core 2. Anyway, it's 7% more efficient. What else there is to wish?

ITreviewed posted a review on Acronis True Image Home 2009

These days, almost everyone is aware of the need to back up their computers, but not everyone actually does it. True Image Home 2009 makes backing up a computer system pretty much as easy and straightforward as possible. Even experienced users will love the way the software automatically makes sure you are never left unprotected from the inevitable hardware or software failure that can destroy a lifetime of digital files, photos, videos and documents. This latest version isn't a great improvement on last year's already excellent version, but the incremental changes make an already strong product even better. True Image Home 2009 is all the home user and non-networked small business user needs to make secure, regular and hassle-free backups of Windows-based computers.

3D Vision for GeForce Benchmark Performance Impact
Benchmark Reviews takes a look at the performance of 3D Vision for GeForce

At the time that I received the 3D Vision for GeForce kit from NVIDIA, Benchmark Reviews was packing up for the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. While I would personally consider the 3D Vision kit to be an experience enhancing product, and not a competitive tool, there have been a few questions in regard to the overall impact on frame-rate performance. So with CES behind us now, I have returned to deliver some benchmarks showing what kind of performance you can expect from the 3D Vision for GeForce gaming kit.

We have previously reviewed a few pairs of earphones from Jays but today we are going to actually take a look at a real pair of headphones. This is a pair of really light weight headphones and they almost give a flimsy feeling when playing around with them but what will we think in the end?

TweakTown posted a review on the Samsung YP-Q1 MP3 Player

The latest in sexy pocket bulges this week comes from the masters of Korean gadgetry, Samsung with their latest MP3 player that touts a 2.4" screen with a resolution of 320x240. Available in 4, 8 and 16GB flavours, you can be sure of fitting all your episodes of neighbours on it to watch on the train.

Loading up the player with some bangin’ tunes and Samsungs quality audio electronics are obvious once it’s going. The sounds in pure mode (no DNSe or street mode enhancement) come in crisp and clear to the ears.

Logitech MX5500 Review
The TechZone has posted a review of the Logitech Cordless Desktop MX5500.

If the mouse that comes as part of the Logitech MX 5500 Desktop Revolution looks familiar, that's because it's nearly udentical to the award-winning Logitech MX Revolution laser mouse that was released some time ago. The key difference is that they have replaced the propriety 2.4GHz wireless connection with a standard Bluetooth 2.0 connection.

In recent months, we've taken a look at a fair few AMD graphics board offerings from Sapphire featuring factory overclocks and custom cooling solutions. However, the subject of today's review tops them all, offering up a Radeon HD 4870 X2 with some relatively high clock speeds out of the box and polishing it off with a closed loop water cooling system that can handle your CPU as well as cooling the graphics board itself. Sound tempting? Check out our review to see what we made of it.

Coolage Frozen Orb Z924 HDC Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Coolage Frozen Orb Z924 HDC Heatsink Review

Coolage's Frozen Orb Z924 HDC heatsink makes use of the trendy "heatpipe direct contact" technique, except this time we're looking at a modified thermal design Coolage originally manufactured with a copper base plate. That heatsink was the Freezer Orb F0-Z924AL. Can a heatsink be retooled into an effective exposed heatpipe base CPU cooler if it wasn't originally designed as such? That's just one of the questions Frostytech will seek to answer in this review.

The Guru of 3D posted a review on the CoolIT Domino A.L.C.

A single self contained water-cooling based unit, that is very easy to install, looks downright sexy and even performs quite adequate as well. It almost sounds to good to be true at 79 USD right ? CoolIT definitely achieved to pull this one off and recently placed this product into the market.

The CoolIT Domino A.L.C looks downright fantastic, it's configurable, is long lasting, affordable and heck it performs pretty good as well. You know what? It's going to be a hit for sure.
