Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler.

In the constant pursuit of higher clock speeds, one thing is for sure. You will need better cooling. For those who feel more daring than your average Joe, there is a whole slew of aftermarket coolers that can be used to achieve the highest overclock possible. Many of these people consider themselves extreme users. What if you're not feeling so 'extreme' and just want to improve your speed without running a liquid system? Well, Cooler Master has answered the call with their V10 CPU cooler.

With a TEC (Thermo Electric Cooling), Cooler Master feels they are able to pump away more heat than your standard aftermarket heat sink. The concept of a TEC is a simple one, but I will cover that later on in the review. The V10 is certainly not the first cooler to ever use a TEC. Previous TEC coolers include the Ultra Chilltec and Titan Amanda. Cooler Master has expanded on these previous concepts by adding a RAM cooler. While the cooler doesn't physically touch the RAM, there is a fan right above it to give some airflow over the RAM, which in turn should reduce its temperatures.

Will this concept by Cooler Master work better than the previous king of 1366 CPU coolers, the Nocta SE1366? I will just have to test that for you now, wont I?

TheTechLounge posted a review on the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Sound Isolating Earphones

The super.fi 5 Pros are the best-of-the-best headphones in Ultimate Ears ' super.fi range. You're getting into pretty serious territory when your headphones start sporting two drivers per ear, and barring Apple's still unreleased set, it's nigh impossible to find a set that retail below 200 dollars. A couple of months ago, I couldn't have told you this kind of headphone existed, or why. But, in my newly enlightened state, I'll try to tell you a bit about the super.fi 5 pros with some authority.

Chieftec HM-01B HTPC Case Review
Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Chieftec HM-01B HTPC Case

Installing a system in the Chieftec HM-01B HTPC case was extremely simple, and the tool-less drive features may be the best I have ever used. Unfortunately not all aspects of the installation are tool-less, but it went quickly anyway. The internal layout gives you plenty of room for all the necessary components, with means to manage the wires neatly.

Evolution Gaming Gear MP2 Mouse Pad Review
Overclockers Online posted a review on the Evolution Gaming Gear MP2 Mouse Pad

After rigorous testing (AKA weeks of gaming), the MP2 has left a good impression. Using my current mouse, the Creative Fatal1ty 1010, life was good as I effortlessly moved my mouse across the (nearly) frictionless cloth surface. As an avid gamer may be, he or she may want to look for the perfect mouse pad that suits their needs, may it be by texture (silky vs. "rough"), size, or even the surface art. Being that the MP2 offers all of this in a neat package, with the surface being "silky smooth", there should be no disappointment if you decide to purchase this product.

Cooler Master Elite 360 Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Cooler Master Elite 360 Case

We're certainly no strangers to Cooler Master here at OCIA.net, particularly their superb lineup of cases. In every instance, Cooler Master has walked away with an OCIA.net Seal of Approval, and garnered praise not only from myself but also other reviewers. However if there were one negative detail to point out, it would be the higher than average price that these cases demand. One other might be the overly large size of the chassis. Cooler Master's Elite series of cases address both of these issues however. Prices for these entry level enclosures are well below $100, some even under $50! But in order to get the cost down to this budget level does Cooler Master have to cut corners and deliver an inferior product? Or is the Elite series every bit as capable of holding up to the Cooler Master name?
