HIS Radeon HD 5870 Video Card Performance Review
Legit Reviews posted HIS Radeon HD 5870 Video Card Performance Review

When it comes to gaming frame-rates can make or break the quality of the experience. Despite the fact that the pair of XFX GTX 260 Black Editions did score higher on most of the benchmarks, I do think the HIS Radeon HD5870 may be the better choice if torn between those two choice. As demonstrated in Colin McRae: DiRT 2 SLI doesn't always improve performance. In fact having SLI enabled we can actually see a hit in performance in DiRT 2. That is just one of many games that may experience an effect like that. Add to that the fact that you cut down the overall power consumption of your computer by nearly 200 Watts, in my opinion it is a clear choice. Don't forget to consider the fact that the ATI Radeon 5000 series is currently the only DirectX 11 platform if you are looking to get the best visual experience in the latest DirectX 11 games...

Thermaltake ISGC-300 Heatsink Review
Frostytech posted Thermaltake ISGC-300 Heatsink Review

Thermaltake's ISGC-300 is a lower noise tower heatsink that offers a
slight performance edge over the companies ISGC-400 model. The saw-toothed aluminum cooling fins on the ISGC-300 are widely spaced to allow air from the single 120mm fan to pass through easily. Four 6mm diameter copper heatpipes ensure good thermal conduction from the base to the 95mm tower above. A small fan speed controller allows fan speed to be adjusted from 800-1300RPM for situations which demand the least noise possible.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus is an aftermarket tower cooler that offers quite a bit of versatility. The Hyper 212 Plus comes equipped with one 120mm fan, but is set up to take a second fan if you would like to take it to a push/pull configuration, and all the hardware is provided to do it. The provided mounting hardware allows for mounting in any direction in order to take care of your particular airflow needs. It is compatible with all the latest sockets including Core I7 and AM3. I will be mounting this with bottom to top airflow and benchmarking along with two other tower coolers mounted in the same manner.

Intel Core i5-750 Review
APH Networks has published a new review on the Intel Core i5-750

A few years ago, owning a dual core processor was something to be particularly proud of. "Bring on the dual cores", we used to say, and joke around referring to the amount of power we could pack under the hood with AMD Socket 939 based Athlon X2 processors in Shuttle XPCs. We then lit up with a faint sense of superiority at the mentioning of then-nonexistent quad core CPUs for mainstream computing. But times have changed. With practically every computer on the market today equipped with ridiculously high performing dual core CPUs at bargain basement prices, Intel came around and continued the cycle of introducing a new generation of even higher performing processors -- first the flagship Core i7 CPUs code named "Bloomfield" on LGA1366, then came the more mainstream-oriented Core i7 and i5 "Lynnfield" processors on the LGA1156 socket. And here's the thing: For around $200 USD retail at press time, the Intel Core i5-750 promises to deliver excellent performance at mainstream pricing. That being a quad core, too. With clock speed specified at 2.66GHz, 4x256KB L2 and 8MB L3 cache, a controller for dual channel DDR3 memory, and an excellent reputation for incredible overclocking potential, how well does this product based on Intel's 45nm Nehalem architecture fare against the once flagship Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 of the last generation? Read on to find out!

Xigmatek Midgard Mid-Tower Chassis Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Xigmatek Midgard Mid-Tower Chassis

Xigmatek has gone the way of chassis design and building as a way to start to supply the end user the more completed package. With the manufacturing of cases, Xigmatek offers a total aftermarket line to go from components sitting in a cart online, to a complete build with matching or corresponding themes.

Old Norse Legend and mythological names have been a trend from Xigmatek for some time now. The Thor’s Hammer, named after a God and his tool of might to the Bifrost graphics card cooler, named after the bridge that links Asgard with Midgard. It seems only fitting to take a name from a land that was the refuge for Thor and the rest of the known inhabited world at that time. It doesn’t take that far of a leap to get the naming scheme of the Midgard chassis name.
