Corsair's TX750W power supply Review
Bit-Tech published a review of Corsair's TX750W power supply

Corsair is onto another winner with the TX750W, as it has proved itself to be an awesome PSU. It's clearly far from the best cooling design available, but it has the best components we've tested to date.

What makes the deal even sweeter is the fact that the Corsair TX750W is even cheaper than some of its competitors too. At £88.60 (inc. VAT), it's cheaper than the PC Power & Cooling 750W Silencer, which costs £95.66 including VAT. In contrast, the Enermax Infiniti 720W now looks seriously expensive at £128.23. Even the Gigabyte Odin GT 800W PSU is significantly more expensive at nearly £125.

There are a few 750W units for less, but we honestly wouldn't bother looking much further than the TX750W. In fact, it's questionable whether units that cost more than the TX750W are worth considering over this unit at the price that Corsair is asking for it.

The HX620W is a good £18 cheaper, but it's also 130W less powerful and modular so there's still a clear differentiation between the two styles that are clearly designed to suit different markets. Unless you've got your heart set on a modular unit, the Corsair TX750W manages to undercut many 650-700W units on price, while clearly not skimping on quality!

Noctua NF-B9 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Noctua NF-B9 fan

We've seen a collection of various Noctua fans conforming to the standards of 80mm and 120mm, but nothing in the lesser-used 92mm size.

Fortunately, 92mm fan mounts can now use bevelled blade tips and vortex control notches, but more importantly, have a MULNAZ PC. Lets have a look whether it lives up to our previous experiences with Noctua blowers.

XIGMATEK 1283 CPU Cooler Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the XIGMATEK 1283 CPU Cooler

The Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is a massive cooler with just as big 8 mm heat pipes. With the heat pipes actually making contact on the CPU this cooler shows us something different in the way of keeping your CPU cool. The cooler is in a line of products from Xigmatek making its way into the rigs around the world.

Alienware m9750 Notebook Review - SLI, RAID and Gaming on the Go
PC Perspective posted a review on the Alienware m9750 Notebook

From a pure hardware perspective, the machine has support (though you can build it on their site without it) for SLI graphics, RAID SATA hard drives, and Intel's latest dual-core processors. The screen itself is vibrant and with a resolution of 1920x1200 you'll have more than enough desktop space to get your work done when you have to, and game when you want to.

Users fretting over the Macbook Air's single USB port won't have that problem here, as the Alienware m9750 has lots of connectivity options but you'll need a much larger and stronger envelope.

techPowerUp posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ3 TurboX 512 MB

The HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ3 comes with a high end dual slot cooler, 512 MB of fast GDDR3 memory and increased clocks at a price tag of $199. This winning combination gets very close in performance to the much more expensive HD 3870 and can even surpass it when overclocked.

Zalman ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Zalman ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller

Zalman introduced its ZM-MFC2 multi fan speed controller last year at CES, and the reason we're reviewing it today are three-fold. For starters, the Zalman ZM-MFC2 digitally monitors four fans to +/- 10RPM and displays that data in real time on a nice multi-coloured backlit LCD display. With it, you can set any speed from 60RPM to the maximum supported by the fan with a turn of the dial, for three 3-pin fans and one PWM fan.

Corsair HX620W Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Corsair HX620W Power Supply

HX620W (also known as CMPSU-620HX) is a power supply that Corsair claims can deliver its rated power at 50º C, and featuring a modular cabling system, a big 120-mm fan, active PFC, high efficiency and two video card power cables for you to feed your SLI or CrossFire system. We completely disassembled this power supply to see the components and design used and also tested to see if it can really deliver its labeled 620 W.

A-Data Vitesta DDR2-800+ Extreme Edition Memory Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the A-Data Vitesta DDR2-800+ Extreme Edition Memory.

While the relatively new line of Extreme Edition memory products by A-Data still carry the Vitesta model name, the EE modules offer very aggressive timings, more comparable to other manufacturers of high-end performance memory. It is one of these sets of memory sticks I will be taking a look at today, the ADQVD1A16K 2x1GB PC2 6400 Extreme Edition DDR2-800+ Dual Channel Memory Kit.

Samsung 2232GW 22" LCD Monitor Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Samsung 2232GW 22" LCD Monitor

For those who don't like the narrow resolution of a 19" widescreen monitor, making the move up to a 20" or 22" will regain that height that's lost on smaller widescreens. Although the Samsung 226BW was known as a great monitor, the "panel lottery" ended up making that a bit of a gamble for buyers. Since then, Samsung has released the 2232GW which is a beautiful looking 22" widescreen LCD display. Time to dig in and see if they're learned from their panel mistakes!

Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet Review
Mikhailtech posted a review on the Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet

Wacom, the most popular Tablet Corporation, again has come out with another great series of tablets called the Bamboo. We heard much of their lower end Bamboo tablet, but now they have an improved and better tablet called the Bamboo Fun. Many of us are quite annoyed by the fact that working with a mouse in Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, or any other graphical application is very difficult. Drawing and shading in objects can become a nightmare and this is where the Bamboo Fun comes in. The Bamboo Fun is a perfect solution for any beginner or intermediate tablet user who is looking to unleash the capabilities in doing some amazing artwork. The Bamboo Fun can take you from just plain writing to a higher level experience that is very difficult to achieve with a standard mouse.

ASUS P5K-E WiFi-AP Motherboard Review
TheTechLounge posted ASUS P5K-E WiFi-AP Motherboard Review

You wouldn't know by looking, but Intel's a little new at the chipset business. It's not that they haven't been doing it for decades, but just that they've never made a business out of it. Until recently. Intel's 975X did well; i965 blew doors off hinges. And, though it's a little long in the technospheric tooth, i965's footprint is almost too big to fill. Without presuming that its successor, P35, is shiny and better, I've tested what looks like a crowd-pleaser: Asus' P5K-E WiFi- AP. For less than $150, it's priced right where everyone can reach it, and comes with the right amount of flash to nab attention from the rest.

Gigabyte X48-DQ6 Review
OCC has published a new review of the Gigabyte X48-DQ6

Oh my god, I've gone "Green." What can I say about the GA-X48-DQ6? Well, performance-wise, it stacks up quite well against many of the motherboards out on the market now. In the gaming benchmarks the X48-DQ6 was just dominating. In the scientific benchmarking phase of the testing, it came out on top in well over half the tests and was a close second in most of the others. If the X48 chipset is just a better binned X38, than I am sold on the binning process. The performance gained during most of the testing was a nice plus to a chipset that I was not expecting much more than the capability to overclock a bit better than the last gen chipset. Support is there for the latest 1600 FSB processors, so picking up that QX9770 and putting it into the DQ6 should prove fruitful during the next benchmarking session.
