OCZ Vertex Series 60GB 2.5" SSD Review
Elite Bastards posted a review on the OCZ Vertex Series 60GB 2.5" SSD

The underside of the drive gives us a peek at the Vertex's Serial ATA 3Gbps interface, with power also provided using the normal Serial ATA power connector of course. Underneath this outer shell, the Vertex's PCB contains a single 64MB chip for the drive's cache, and a handful of MLC (multi-level cell) Samsung NAND flash memory chips which make up the 60GB of storage offered by our sample. All of this is handled by Indilinx's "Barefoot" IDX110 controller chip, which uses an ARM controller to handle data between the Serial ATA interface and the flash chips upon the device itself. This particular controller is designed with enough bandwidth to maximise write speeds, particularly for small writes, while the controller's firmware is custom designed by OCZ themselves, and in its 1.5 revision (used for this review) TRIM is fully supported under Windows 7 alongside garbage collection routines to ensure that drive performance remains optimal no matter how much usage and punishment the drive goes through.

Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Toxic 2GB Review
OCC has published a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Toxic 2GB

As a factory overclocked card it is easily faster than the reference card by way of comparison. Cooling performance is another aspect that was measured since this card does use a non-stock cooling solution. Running with the factory clock speeds and letting the driver control the fan speed, the maximum temperature I recorded was 66=B0 C under load with a 39=B0 C idle temperature. The fan reached 43% utilization at this load temperature so you have both cool and quiet.

GeForce GTX 480 Gets a BIOS Update and Cooks an Egg
Legit Reviews got their hands on the latest video card BIOS revision for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 reference graphics card

Yesterday, we updated the video card BIOS of our NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 reference graphics card to what we were told is the version that will be used on the GeForce GTX 480 graphics cards when they come out in just a couple weeks. The version that all the press reviewed last week was 70.00.10.00.01 and the latest build with some minor tweaks and bug fixes is version 70.00.18.00.01. Since Legit Reviews was the first site to point out the high temperature issue when using two monitors, the engineers at NVIDIA were kind enough to let us try the latest vBIOS build to see if it fixed our heat issues as the new vBIOS included some new fan profiles...

Canon PowerShot A495 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Canon PowerShot A495

The PowerShot A480 from Canon was taken in two different ways with updates this year: the A490 and the A495. The PowerShot A490 is about $20 less expensive as its competition but it's only available in basic silver. It has a 5-point Face AiAF auto focus system instead of the A495's 9-point and it has neither a Face Self-Time nor Canon's Super Vivid and Poster Effect shooting modes. In other words, for that extra $20 the A495 could easily be a steal or at least a better buy.

Raidmax Hurricane Review
OCC has published a review on the Raidmax Hurricane

The overall cooling performance of the Raidmax Hurricane is very respectable. The CPU was on-par with the NZXT Lexa, and though the motherboard and hard drive temperatures were somewhat higher, they remained at more than stable temperatures. The Hurricane's temperatures kept fairly close to those of the the NZXT Lexa and Cooler Master Centurion 534, both of which are nearly double the price. The Raidmax Hurricane has definitely proved itself with its cooling capabilities.
