Gigabyte's GA-EX58-UD4P and DS4 mobos Review
bit-tech published a review of Gigabyte's GA-EX58-UD4P and DS4 mobos

Using both the boards has been an overall positive experience, although I have to say quite frustrating when we were overclocking. Gigabyte has tweaked both with a good software set that works and some nifty features, but they both just need a few loose ends tidying in places like the BIOS.

The GA-EX58-DS4 is £15 cheaper than the UD4P, but at £185 it isn't //cheap and for that money we'd upsell ourselves to the other board which has better SATA placement, eSATA options, better cooling, a better box bundle, an extra ounce of copper (if you care, we don't) and the option for Nvidia SLI as well. //If Nvidia released a relatively inexpensive ATI killer in six months, you'd be gutted that you didn't fork out //that bit more for the option of both (for the first time) on an already expensive board.

We're inclined to forgive the lukewarm overclocking of the GA-EX58-UD4P because for its price it's a great value Core i7 board for a splash of overclocking (95 percent of the glass is full), well rounded features and stable operation with six DIMMs installed. Basically, no one else sells a board as well featured for this price, so if you don't want to pay completely through the nose for a high performance upgrade, the GA-EX58-UD4P is one to get.

6-Way Intel Core i7 CPU Cooler Roundup
Legit Reviews posted an Intel Core i7 CPU Cooler Roundup

As for the coolers themselves, the Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler is the winner in our testing. Either in its original single fan configuration or in its new SE1366 dual fan configuration it led the pack and did it quietly Next in line is the Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme 1366RT. It's heavy and has a name as long as my arm, but it is quiet and performs well. The Ultra 120 is a very popular line of coolers and for good reason - it is solidly built. This is the only other cooler in our round up other than the NH-U12P that I don’t worry about bending up the cooling fins when I handle it...

Edifier MP300 Plus Portable Speakers Review
ITreviewed posted a review on the Edifier MP300 Plus Portable Speakers

Laptop speakers are convenient, but they suck - at least where music playback in concerned. Music aficionados looking to breathe life into their portable computers should check out Edifier's outstanding MP300 Plus speaker system. This 2.1 portable system (1.4kg) looks fantastic with its brushed aluminium sub-woofer and sounds even better! It also comes with a protective and compact carry case, making it great for audio in the office and at home. Forget what you know about portable laptop speakers - the MP300s are anything but cheap sounding.

Kingwin Big Drive RAID Enclosure Review
Virtual-Hideout posted a review on the Kingwin Big Drive RAID Enclosure

Let's be honest, this is a very cheap product, right on the very bottom end of any competing products. It looks good on the outside, but it's very basic inside. The manual does a great job of explaining the different RAID levels, but that's about it. The codes that it describes for the front LED's are nigh indecipherable. That said, being so cheap makes it really attractive to a lot of people, and without any performance or setup problems, I can't see any real reason *not* to get it. As long as you understand you aren't getting the easiest to use, or most feature rich enclosure

Sapphire HD4670 Review
OCC has published a new review on the Sapphire HD4670

This version of the HD4670 was much more overclocking friendly that the Powercolor version I tested. Whereas that card did not want to give up any additional clock speed, the Sapphire version easily eclipsed the marks set by that card. The memory on this card just kept scaling upwards and finally gave up the ghost at 1070MHz. I backed down the clock speed 5MHz and I was ready to go. The Core speed increase was not all that substantial, but it is easily 15MHz faster than the Powercolor card. With this additional clock speed, there should be an increase in the performance delivered without a big noise penalty as the fan spools up.
