Rosewill RX355-X2 External eSATA Enclosure Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Rosewill RX355-X2 External eSATA Enclosure

Prior to this past October, Rosewill was a company name not well known to most Canadians. Who are they? Rosewill is an in-house company of computer and electronics reseller NewEgg. Most Rosewill branded products are purchased from a large variety of OEM computer part manufacturers that the company works closely with to ensure only high quality products will bear their name. In October 2008 when NewEgg officially launched NewEgg.ca, a division of their retail store now available to Canadians, the Rosewill brand started gaining even further attention because of their great prices and product selection. I'm glad to say that today we have our first chance to check out a product from them, the Rosewill RX355-X2 USB/E-SATA hard drive enclosure.

Coolink Chillaramic Thermal Compound Review
Verdis Reviews posted a review on the Coolink Chillaramic Thermal Compound

The thermal paste market is highly competitive with almost every computer component manufacturer having its own special paste. Each compound will have unique properties that decide how well it performs: burn-in time and conductivity to name but a few. In more recent times, manufacturers have moved away from using metallic particles and started to use ceramic nano-particles so as to make electrically non-conductive compounds that don't damage components if accidently spilled on them.

Today, we look at the Coolink Chillaramic and from the name we can immediately tell this is a ceramic compound (-ramic). Let's check it out.

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 295 1792MB Video Card Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 295 1792MB Video Card

The GTX 295 is, like ATI's HD 4870 X2, two cards in one. It has two GPUs, connected by an onboard PCI-Express bridge, in SLI fashion. The GPUs are modified GTX 260s, architecturally identical, clocked at the same frequencies, although slightly-cut improved memory bandwidth (the GPUs of the 295 have 589-bit memory interfaces unlike the 260-216s with 448-bit interfaces). So there are two questions I have about this card: is it worth the price hike over two GTX 260s, and who is this card tailored for?

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400S Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400S

If you thought that nothing interesting is going to happen on Socket 775 scene after Core i7 was promoted, we can only tell you that you have made a wrong assumption. Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs are still very fast and, to be quite honest, enough for most today tasks. Intel decided to continue with optimizations of Core 2 Quad models and results are presented in form of model Q9400s that we got in our test lab. Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400s is direct descendant of C2Q Q9400 model. Probably you have noticed that only difference is in letter "s" at the end of marking. That suffix means that this is CPU with lower power consumption or smaller TDP (Thermal Design Power).

HighPoint RocketRAID 2680 and RocketRAID 4320 SAS/ SATA Cards Review
Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the HighPoint RocketRAID 2680 and RocketRAID 4320 SAS/ SATA Cards

HighPoint's RocketRAID 2680 is a nifty little card and does as it promises. It's affordable, and offers great performance. Of course, it did follow behind the RocketRAID 4320, but it is after all half the price. But, if you have a bit of extra money burning a hole on your pocket, the RocketRAID 4320 is an excellent performance oriented card with the features to match. Coupled with an easy to manage BIOS system and software suite HighPoint has a winning combination.

MSI 790GX-G65 AM3 Motherboard Review
OCC has published a new review on the MSI 790GX-G65 AM3 Motherboard

Well, when it comes down to the wire, apples to apples, the DDR3 memory support does give the AM3 processors a bit of a lead. In just about every test there was an increase when using a 790GX based board with DDR3 memory support over DDR2 memory support. If you are in the market for a new system, then I highly suggest going the AM3 route. However, in my opinion, if you are already running a strong DDR2 based AMD system, then the cost does not justify the minimal increases that you will currently get. All of that aside the MSI 790GX-G65 is a rock solid board with great features that will make any enthusiast smile. The overclocking on this board was very easy and has been one of the stablest I have seen with minimal tweaking. The added ability to overclock using hardware dip switches will allow even a novice the added joy of pushing their hardware beyond the limits.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 285 Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 285

Here we test the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 285. A product that is clocked at reference speeds and comes with a very average bundle. With this reference based product in mind we were interested to see what we could save in terms of money if we just did not opt for an overclocked, xxx, OC, SSC and what not editions. It's interesting to see how well AIBs monetized the passion we all share; overclocking. So from that point of view it should be interesting to test the reference based product with no whistles and bells, and see if we can tweak it a little ourselves.

The trick is however, it's really affordable and as we learned .. very overclockable. Why not make your own OC model and forget about the premium price you have to pay for the pre-overclocked products ?

Thermalright AXP-140 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Thermalright AXP-140

With Home Theater PC’s (HTPC) becoming more and more popular everyday and with more and more companies offering specialty low profile chassis designed to fit into today’s modern living rooms, it’s extremely hard to find a performance low profile heat sink to handle the heat output of today’s dual and quad core processors. Thermalright has come up with a special solution to this problem by designing a low profile heat sink that not only fits in today’s HTPC chassis, but offers the option of using either a 120 or 140mm fan to get the most performance out of your system while still maintaining a acceptable noise level so that you can still enjoy watching your favorite movie.

To see just how well the AXP-140 performs, we’re going to run it on a high heat generating gaming/HTPC that I have upstairs in my living room. If all holds true to the reputation that Thermalright has earned over the years, we’re looking forward to some pretty good results.

Hitachi Deskstar E7K1000 1TB Enterprise Hard Disk Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Hitachi Deskstar E7K1000 1TB Enterprise Hard Disk

E is for Enterprise; several manufacturers add features to their standard desktop drives to make them perform better in tightly packed clusters and in high performance RAID arrays. Hitachi was first to market with a 1TB drive nearly two years ago. The first 1TB drive required five platters to achieve the milestone mark; because of this, the drives ran a little on the… touch it with your finger and feel the pain, hot side. Areal densities have increased over the two year life span of 1TB drives and now Hitachi is able to deliver a 1TB drive in only three platters.

The new E7K1000 is more than just a refresh on their desktop product. The new drive features 32MB of cache, up from 16MB. The additional cache should help to decrease latency access times. The feature most useful for the E7K1000’s target audience is the Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS). RVS is a set of sensors located on the drive and when vibration is detected the internal software adjusts the head’s position in relation to the platters to compensate.
