Acer Aspire AS7552G-6436 Review
TechReviewSource.com posted a review on the Acer Aspire AS7552G-6436

The Acer Aspire AS7552G-6436 is the kind of desktop replacement laptop that starts out strong and then tapers off at the finish line. For instance, storage is aplenty with a 640GB hard drive, while the 17-inch widescreen and powerful ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6650 chip are a boon for movie buffs and avid gamers.

Corsair Hydro H60 CPU Water Cooler Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Corsair Hydro H60 CPU Water Cooler

Today we are looking at the newest addition to the Corsair Hydro Series, the H60. The H60 is the result of Corsair and CoolIT Systems teaming up. Join us as we see how this new cooler holds up on our Intel Core i7-930 test bench and up against the recently tested offering from Antec, the Kuhler H2O 620.

The Hydro Series from Corsair has been king of hill for pre-built sealed kits since it came out. It seems that with Antec teamed up with Asetek now in the cooler market the hill now belongs to them. With that being said, the H60 is a good cooler. It is well built, quieter than previous Hydro Series coolers and I really like the new mounting system for the pump/coldplate. The H60 could have benefited from having a second fan for a push/pull configuration. With the system overclocked to 4.0 GHz the radiator got warm. Once that happened the performance dropped and I could see the temps climb. In the exhaust configuration I could smell the rad getting warm. When I switched the fan around to be in the intake configuration I didnâ€t notice the smell, but the rad was warm to the touch.

MSI 890FXA-GD65 Motherboard Review: The Hardcore Minimalist
PCPerspective posted a review on the MSI 890FXA-GD65 Motherboard

While MSI's original 890FXA-GD70 was a nice success story for the company, they were hoping to have a greater presence in the sub-$150 range of parts. To achieve this while not stepping on the toes of the 880G and 890GX stable of boards, MSI released a more focused board based on the now mature 890FX platform. The 890FXA-GD65 is aimed squarely at the budget enthusiast who asks a lot from their board without having to shell out the big bucks.

MSI Radeon HD 6970 2GB Lightning Overclocked Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the MSI Radeon HD 6970 2GB Lightning Overclocked Video Card

I always seem to start these reviews by stating that the series of the card we're looking at is one of my favorite. It's not just some generic introduction and I really am a large fan of series' like the IceQ from HIS, Vapor-X from Sapphire, SOC from GIGABYTE and most of all, the MSI series including the Cyclone, HAWK and Lightning which we're looking at today.

While most companies have a good stand-out series, MSI have an arsenal of them. The Cyclone is great for these lower end mid-range cards; the cooler is quiet and performs very well. You can kick it up a notch and start looking at the Twin Frozr series which tends to be reserved for the higher end cards. It's also quiet, performs well and is essentially a higher end version of the Cyclone series.

ASUS Rampage III Black Edition review
The Guru of 3Dposted ASUS Rampage III Black Edition review

ASUS are launching the ASUS Rampage III Black Edition and it just has to be the most exclusive X58 motherboard we have ever had our hands on. Improved overclockability, black design (including a black colored BIOS).

The spec-sheet might read pretty similar to last year's Rampage III Extreme, but there have been a few tweaks alright. The board now sports a quartet of PCIe x16 slots capable of supporting three-way SLI or four-way CrossFireX, support for 24GB DDR3 at speeds of up to 2,200MHz and then the fun begins, USB 3.0, SATA 6G, a ThunderBolt add-on card that integrates Xonar sound as well as BigFoot's Killer NPU.

Sapphire HD6790 Review
OCC has published a review on the Sapphire HD6790

When it came down to the overclocking of the Sapphire HD6790, I was able to get the GPU clock speed all the way up to 1000MHz, which is about a 19% overclock on the GPU core with no voltage adjustments. I was able to get the clock speed a little bit higher, however it was not stable enough to run all of the benchmarks in the OCC benchmarking suite. The memory was a little bit more tricky to overclock on this card, I was trying to get up around 1250MHz, however anything that I set above 1235MHz was unstable and would give me artifacts on the screen, so I had to back my clocks down to 1230MHz. That is, however, about a 17% increase on the memory. Overall the overclocking of the Sapphire HD6790 was just like any other video card when it comes to the clocking with out using an voltage adjustments.

AMD released the original 6870 back in October and almost every video card manufacturer had reference models. It has been a while since the launch and now we are seeing manufactures come out with their own versions of the 6870, one such company is ASUS. They have sent us their HD 6870 DirectCU which features ASUS’s in house PCB design, a slight overclock up to 915 MHz and the DirectCU (direct copper) GPU cooling solution, which ASUS says will cool the GPU up to 20% better than the stock cooler.

XSReviews has a new review of the Sapphire Edge Mini PC

Well here's an alternative to the HTPC and lounge media center, possibly the smallest full scale PC around: the Sapphire Edge Mini PC.

Should make for an interesting combination. Let's see how it performs.
