Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Noctua NH-U12P SE1366.

The NH-U12P has been considered one of the best, if not the best air CPU cooler. It is truly a master of engineering, with no detail overlooked in the design process. The cooler was built with, not only quality in mind, but price also. The price is easliy comparable to the Thermalright TRUE 120, but unlike the TRUE, it includes two fans. While you may be able to run the TRUE without a fan due to its great design, a fan lowers the temperatures by leaps and bounds.

Due to Intel moving on to the LGA1366 socket, the previous version of the NH-U12P was not able to support the new socket. Noctua quickly stepped up to the plate once again and has released a new hardware mount, so now the cooler works on the 1366 socket. One burning question remains, will this cooler perform as well on a new socket? Going by previous accomplishments of Noctua, I would be willing to bet it will come through.

As we all know, the Noctua has been around for long enough for many other companies to release new heat sinks that are better than previous designs. Will the Noctua be able to keep up with these newer coolers? Cooler Master, a veteran company, has released their V10 that claims to be the flagship of their new heat sink lineup. Will the SE1366 pull ahead of the V10, or will this new cooler on the scene pull ahead of one of the best heat sinks ever designed?

Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D 1600 Dominator Memory Review
Viper Lair posted a review on the Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D 1600 Dominator Memory

From an enthusiast point of view, 3GB is the minimum most should consider when choosing a kit. For a long while, 2GB was the recommended amount, but since two does not devide into 3 memory sticks, we're now at 3GB. The question is now, do you need 3GB or 6GB. If you are really rich, you can even get yourself a 12GB Triple Memory kit but be prepapred to sleep on the couch if the significant other was budgeting that joint bank account for something important like rent or food.

CrossFire vs. SLI
InsideHW.com has compared performances of single graphics cards vs. CrossFire/SLI systems

On every presentation of new GPU generation that we attended in past few years, systems with more than one graphics card were presented as ultimate performance setup. Problem with those configurations was their price in a real world environment. Even now there are more users that have only one graphics card in their rig but the times has changed and now even low-budget users can have Crossfire of SLI system thanks to price drops. First of all, motherboards that support Crossfire or SLI are not too expensive anymore as they were a year ago. Secondly, graphics cards have become also cheaper so users now face a dilemma: if they already have a graphics card from mid or high-range class with motherboard that supports CrossFire/SLI, is it better to sell that one and buy new one, or to buy same graphics card and make CrossFire/SLI system?.

AMD Phenom II 720 X3 Black Edition Processor Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the AMD Phenom II 720 X3 Black Edition Processor

With the launch of Deneb, AMD has finally moved to the 45nm process and are breaking in a new socket interface at the same time. The main difference with AM3 is the introduction of DDR3 support. But rather than require a forklift upgrade, AMD has incorporated both DDR2 and DDR3 memory controllers into the AM3 chips. One of the first of these chips debuted last month with the tri core X3 BE 720, running at 2.8Ghz. But with only three cores, is the 720 even a viable upgrade for someone with a first generation Phenom quad or is it just a hamstrung slug of silicon?
