PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition (+ SLI 285 Testing) Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition

PNY has been in the GPU market for a very long time. They are more well known for their memory products than their GPU's. The addition of the PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition to their lineup brings them right to the cutting edge of graphics. PNY has been out of the Bjorn3D limelight for a period of time, but they've always been there, producing high quality graphics cards, flash products, and performance memory.

We thought it would be a nice addition to the GPU comparison stack to give the PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition a chance to live up to our high standards and see how it runs against 'The Stack'. We're betting that the PNY GTX-285 Performance Edition makes the grade and runs like a champion in SLI.

Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler Review
OCModShop posted Noctua NH-C12P Premium CPU Cooler Review

We here at OCMS have reviewed several products from our European pals at Noctua and I was very pleased to hear they contacted me again for some new products up for review this the Noctua CPU cooler.

All Noctua products use their familiar Blue-Brown and beige color palette, keeping in line with their renowned fans. To go with its easily identifiable box is all the necessary information you need, such as sizing charts and package contents, but you can forget about that as you can be damn sure Noctua added all you needed and then some.

Thermaltake Element S Case Review
Hi Tech Legion has released a new article on the Thermaltake Element S Case

I was amazed by the intelligent design and quality engineering which has obviously been incorporated into the Thermaltake Element S Case. One has come to expect quality from Thermaltake, but in this case they truly have outdone themselves. The classic, professional styling and crisp black color appealed to me the moment I removed the case from the box. Removing the side panels only heightened that appeal, as I discovered the expandability (seven 3.5" HDD mounts, two 2.5" HDD or SSD mounts), ease of use (convenient layout, easily removed components), and strong construction (solid steel construction, bended edge-design) of the Element S.

ASUS P5E3 Premium/Wifi-AP.N Motherboard Review
PC Stats posted ASUS P5E3 Premium/Wifi-AP.N Motherboard Review

ASUS has given us everything enthusiasts ask for in a motherboard and then multiplied that by pixie dust and a kitchen sink factor with the Asus
P5E3 Premium motherboard. Sure, other motherboards have dual gigabit lan
ports, but how many have dual eSATA? Or dual firewire? In addition to a dual
antenna wireless-N integrated network adapter?

3GB vs. 6GB Memory Performance Analysis on X58
Tweaktown posted 3GB vs. 6GB Memory Performance Analysis on X58

For the most part, more is better. But the thing about this equation is while more is going to be faster, does the extra speed warrant the price increase that is going to come with the upgrade? - The release of the X58 chipset saw two new standards for memory capacity; because of the extra module included we now see memory kits in 3GB and 6GB.

If you didn't have an x64 bit version of Vista, you were only using around 3GB of your 4GB memory kit. But even this yielded some pretty impressive performance increases over the 2GB kit, which makes us wonder; with 3GB kits being a standard for X58 systems, is that more than enough memory to keep one satisfied?

Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse

If all you could see was the mouse, you might just buy it there. There's a lot of action on the thing, but a little studying shows not bling, but function cut down to hard lines. And then there're the hallmarks of great gaming mice, like the customizable weights and swappable feet for different kinds of resistance. But then, what about macros? Game-specific configurations? Hot red ground lights? Ok, there's a little bling. Might come in handy if you need a, uh. Bling.

MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard Review
Viper Lair posted a review on the MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard

With the release of Intel's Core i7 processor and their X58 chipset, there is a plethora of motherboards available. MSI puts its .02 in the mainstream segment with the X58 Platinum, while not the “cream” of MSI's crop, it leaves little to be desired. Just how well does it stack up?

MSI has labeled the X58 Platinum as part of their “Gaming Series”, to prove out their point they have included several niceties that have come to be expected by the premier gaming Motherboard Manufacturers such as Asus, DFI, EVGA et all. Putting MSI clearly on the map of enthusiasts who want performance and stability for as little coin as possible.
