Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Ultra Products ChillTec Thermo Electric CPU Cooler

The Ultra Products ChillTec Thermo Electric CPU Cooler is the first Peltier cooler I have ever used and I have to admit I am impressed by how well it works! Receiving an almost ten degrees Celsius drop in load temperatures can help to prolong the life of a processor, and can be a great asset while overclocking.

TrustedReviews looked at Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

There’s no doubt that GRAW2 looks eerily similar to GRAW1. I’m told that the engine has seen some enhancements, but the simple fact is that GRAW looked stunning a year ago and still looks stunning now, while GRAW2 looks the same with maybe a little, barely perceptible, extra gloss and detail.

TrustedReviews looked at the Fujifilm FinePix F20

Launched last July at the same time as the S6500fd, the F20 is a 3x zoom compact which features a 6.1-megapixel SuperCCD HR sensor, 2000 ISO maximum sensitivity and 300-shot battery duration. In other words, it’s almost the same specification as the FinePix F30, the camera that first showed us the benefit of Fuji’s unique high-ISO capability. The F20 is currently available for under £110 from a number of retailers...

Tweaknews.net posted Thermaltake Symphony Mini Liquid Cooling System Review

Thermaltake has a great watercooling product here with the Symphony Mini. It is easy enough for a beginner to install yet still performs well enough that enthusiasts will be satisfied. With a price tag of over $200 USD it's definitely not the cheapest solution out there but I feel you do get what you pay for. The Mini has a nice sleek look to it although the size of the unit might be an issue for some as it is not practical to move around.

Maxwell at ReviewDesk.com has posted up a review of the SilverStone MS04 IDE Hard Drive Enclosure.

There are many external hard drive enclosures out there, but none quite as pretty as the SilverStone MS04. Sure, to some people looks aren't everything, but to people like me, well, they're definitely important. I mean, if there are a bunch of similar products that you assume all work about equally well, wouldn't you just pick the one that's most visually appealing to you?

The TechZone has posted a review of the Samsung SyncMaster XL20

On the outside the Samsung SyncMaster XL20 looks like your run of the mill 20" LCD, but on the inside there's a difference in some of the underlying technology. Rather than using a CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) as a backlight the XL20 uses an array of that geeks favourite source of illumination, the LED. In particular, this unit uses an RGB LED that produces a very true white as well as a perfectly even backlight. This is said to produce 114% of the NTSC colour gamut. There's a full run-down on what this monitor can do on the next page as to what this monitor can do. The long and the short of it is Samsung has saddled this new backlight technology to an already super-bright 250cd/m2 monitor with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and an 8ms pixel response time, which makes for a very exciting product that we're hoping pans out in testing.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Ultra ChillTec Thermo Electric CPU Cooler in their latest review.

Here we get a look at the heatpipes and the TEC which is sandwiched between two copper plates. Each plate has four heatpipes leading to the upper deck of aluminum fins that are cooled by the 92mm fan. Initially, the CPU is cooled by the "heatsink" - that is, the heatpipes and aluminum fins. When the CPU is put under load, power is applied to the TEC and the CPU is further cooled by the cold side of the thermo electric cooler. The hot side of the TEC is cooled by the second set of heatpipes.

Virtual-Hideout posted Enzotech Ultra-X CPU Cooler Review

The installation methods for both AMD and Intel are very simple and easy. The EnzoTech Ultra-X cooled the Core 2 Duo better than any CPU cooler heat sink to ever come across this desktop. Its performance surpassed my most trusted CPU coolers which makes it my current number one recommendation.

TechPowerUp takes a look at the Razer Pro Tones m250

Razer's new Pro Tones m250 headphones look a bit different than our average headphone. They clip on to your ears, allowing the headset to be larger than the usual ear plugs, while still being quite compact. During testing we found out that these $50 headphones can deliver amazing sound quality, no matter which type of music you listen to.

PC Stats posted a Foxconn FV-N88SMCD2-ONOC Geforce 8800GTS-320MB Videocard Review

The Foxconn FV-N88SMCD2-ONOC videocard is based entirely on the 'G80' reference design, not a surprise since most manufacturers have gone this route. During testing the FV-N88SMCD2-ONOC was extremely quiet even during high 3D load levels. That's great news for gamers the FV-N88SMCD2-ONOC is not just fast, it's also quiet. Instead of bundling games that get old and out of date, Foxconn includes a swanky USB 3D game pad with the FV-N88SMCD2-ONOC videocard. After trying it out in a few games, you know for "testing purposes" we all agreed that the PS2 like controller added a new dimension to computer game play.

Pro-Clockers posted a review on the Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA Motherboard

The 4CoreDual-VSTA from Asrock is based on the newest chipset form VIA. The PT880 Ultra is low cost way for many end users to retain usage of their older AGP video card and upgrade to PCI-e units when time and money permits. And when that time comes you can leave that AGP card in and still integrate your new PCI-e card as well. Leaving the ability to use multiple monitors.

Project PDA posted a review on the Palm Treo 700p

Although the 700p sports the same 312MB processor it does have add a considerable, and much needed, amount of memory going from 23MB to 60MB. This nice upgrade will allow you to store more data on the device instead of an annoyingly inconvenient (and easily lost) memory card. Another much needed upgrade is the new 1.3MP camera, which is considerably better than the VGA camera that comes with the 650.

Legit Reviews takes a look at the CoolIT Eliminator CPU Cooler

For those that are familiar with water cooling the CoolIT Eliminator uses the same basic method, but uses three solid-state TECs to cool the coolant down rather than a traditional radiator. Water is pumped from the +12V water pump through tubing to the CPU water block. Once the coolant leaves the water block it becomes 'hot' and is cooled down by going through not one, but three TECs. This process works really well as the cold side of the TEC plate can easily cool the water, but the heat from the hot side of the plate still needs to be handled. To get rid of the heat generated from the TECs, CoolIT uses a radial heat sink to absorb the heat. A 92x92x38mm fan then sucks air through the radial heat sink and blows the air out of the case...
