Antec Kuhler H2O 620 CPU Water Cooler Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Antec Kuhler H2O 620 CPU Water Cooler

Antec has been a maker of PC cases and power supplies for years. Now Antec has stepped into the world of CPU coolers, both air and water. Today we look at the first self-contained water cooling kit, the Kuhler H2O 620. Join us as we put the Kuhler H2O 620 through the paces on our Intel Core i7 test system and see how it performs.

All in one kits are becoming more and more popular as some users want the benefit of water but either donâ€t want to build a custom loop or have the fear they may assemble it wrong and it leaks all over their system. The self contained all in one kits like the Kuhler H2O 620 are simple to install, maintenance free, and cost much less than its custom counterpart. The Kuhler H2O 620 costs close to the same as most high-end CPU water blocks, but not much more than the middle of the road blocks...

OCZ Vertex2 60GB SATAII Solid State Drive Review
eTeknix.com posted a review on the OCZ Vertex2 60GB SATAII Solid State Drive

OCZ have gone through lots of changes as of late including the main aspect of the company being changed from a mass memory manufacturer to a switch of product focus in the SSD market. This has given OCZ the chance to put all of their efforts into SSDs which until now have been a majorly overpriced component of a computer system.

As of late, more manufacturers have been releasing SSDs which has brought the price down whilst performance still move forward. OCZ are one of the forefront manufacturer’s when it comes to performance based products and today a look at the Vertex 2 60GB SSD from OCZ should see if it carries on with that status.

Asus P8P67 LE Motherboard Review
ITShootout takes a look at the P8P67 LE motherboard; Asus' least expensive P67 chipset model.

The P8P67 LE is the baby of Asus’ extensive full-ATX Sandy Bridge motherboard range. The variant we are looking at today is one of the B3 editions, meaning it doesn’t suffer from the potential SATA issue that plagued the first generation of all P67 motherboards.

Tt eSports Azurues Gaming Mouse Review
eTeknix.com posted a review on the Tt eSports Azurues Gaming Mouse

Sometimes you don't want a mouse that does everything, just like you might not want the most boring and dull mouse. If you are one of those people who occasionally dip into the gaming world you probably don't want to or need to splash out on an expensive gaming mouse. So what are your other options? Well in most cases it's to have a boring and standard mouse that is quite frankly going to be rubbish for gaming. There are a few mice out there that are in between the two categories but not many.
This mouse, the Tt eSPORTS Azurues is a gaming mouse but at a first glance it's not quite the flashy gaming mice that we often see. We don't expect it to provide us the disco lights as well as displaying your name on the bottom. In lots of ways this is good but will it still perform like a gaming mouse?
Tt eSPORTS is the gaming brand of Thermaltake and like SteelSeries they sponsor their own gaming teams in fact they are currently having a huge amount of success in the gaming world. This means they really should know what they are talking about. On top of that, Thermaltake are one of the best peripheral and case builders out there so the combination should reap huge rewards.

Zalman N series 128GB SSD review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Zalman N series 128GB SSD

Being fashionably late to market with this product series the SSD series will sell at 64GB - $169 and 128GB - $289. Performance wise this drive should be as fast as the Vertex 2 series for example. Yep, we peek at the new N series SSDs from Zalman.

ASUS HD 6970 Review
OCC has published a review on the ASUS HD 6970

Overclocking the ASUS HD 6970 wasn't the easiest thing in the world to do, but it wasn't all that hard either. I first started out using ASUS Smart Doctor, however, whenever I tried to push the core clock past 940MHz, Smart Doctor would automatically reset it. After I encountered this problem I decided to switch over to MSI's Afterburner. After increasing the overclocking range in Afterburner's config file, I was able to continue overclocking the ASUS HD 6970's core past 940Mhz. That being said, I encountered another problem. MSI's Afterburner would not allow me to adjust the card's voltage. I eventually decided to use Afterburner anyway and ended up with a core clock of 986Mhz. This was about 100Mhz above the factory clock speed, so I was OK with it. I got a lot nicer overclock out of the memory, which ended up clocking in at 1502Mhz.

Prolimatech Super Mega CPU Cooler Review
Vortez posted a review on the Prolimatech Super Mega CPU Cooler

It's not often that we find a new company entering a highly competitive market, only to go straight into the top league. But this shouldn't come as much of a surprise when the engineers in question originated from another highly regarded manufacturer. Prolimatech first came into the market with their Megahalem using a very original dual tower that came in a package the same size as other traditional tower heatsinks such as the Thermalright Ultra Extreme. It proved to be highly successful amongst enthusiasts but from our own results it failed to keep up with Thermalright's offering, its closest competitor. Moving on three years from then, Prolimatech have made tweaks to their design and are ready to take on the top coolers once again with their new ultimate Super Mega iteration, this time facing the Noctua NH-D14, Thermalright Silver Arrow and Venomous X.

HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X TurboX Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X TurboX Video Card

March has just been an unreal month with the amount of launches we've seen. We saw both AMD and NVIDIA release extremely fast Dual GPU models along with NVIDIA releasing a new mid-range one. If you thought it was going to quiet down, you'd be wrong, because April is looking just as crazy with more releases from NVIDIA and AMD along with partners releasing fancy versions of popular models.

Today we've got a fancy HD 6870 from HIS; the IceQ X TurboX. It's a bit of a tongue twister, but we're fairly sure we're going to love it as it carries that IceQ tag along with the Turbo tag, our two favorite from HIS. Before we look closer at the actual card, though, let's check out the package that HIS has got gone on. Then we'll see the IceQ cooler they're using before looking at the specifications. We'll then finally get into the performance that's on offer.

Corsair TX850V2 850 Watt Power Supply Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Corsair TX850V2 850 Watt Power Supply

Back in 2008, Corsair launched the TX series of power supplies. It was an instant success and a power supply that many still love today. It provided plenty of power for gamers and enthusiasts and did so without breaking the bank. The TX series also offered great connector availability and longer cables for those with larger cases and those that routed cables to keep them from being seen. Corsair has been updating several of their power supply series and the TX series is the latest in the line of refreshments.

Fast forward to today and we now have the Corsair TX Version 2. The specific power supply on the bench right now is the Corsair TX850V2. On the surface, the TX850V2 differs little from its predecessor. Connector availability remains the same and if it wasn't for the sticker denoting it as a TX850V2 instead of a TX850W, you probably wouldn't know they were different. Corsair took a good look at the internals and decided to make some changes there, bringing with it improved efficiency and higher quality DC output. Read on as we take an in depth look at the Corsair TX850V2.
