Cool Age, a company you've probably never heard of before, is starting to stir up some competition in the CPU Cooler market with their newly revealed X120TF heat sink.

But is this CPU Cooler really all what it's cracked up to be? Today we'll find out in our review on the Coolage X120 Transform.

TheTechLounge posted Section 8 Preview

I'm having a hard time trying to find something original in Section 8. And it matters not. Even the engine is used - it's based on the multi-platform Unreal Engine 3, which irritates me since I can't get anti-aliasing to work; but fine, it doesn't seem to disrupt my ability to womp the shite out of 16 of my temporary nemeses, bot or human, and try as I might, I can't stay away from this title for very long. Oh, and I've been playing the beta, the demo version.

It's free. It's kinda buggy. So what is the thing that makes this incomplete game so damn appealing? It's everything Team Fortress 2, or Left 4 Dead, and so many others, aren't. Starting with scale; you literally begin each round a mile off the ground, screaming and on fire like the codpiece of God. Your nearest base is half a click away and your current objective is twice that, and there're three walkers between you and the VIP. So what do you do? Lock your suit into sprint mode, just before the armor closes in on your delicious red triangle, hit your jets and sail over them. If your aim is right, you land on that enemy general feet-first before teabagging him with your grenades.

Scosche Kickback iPhone Case Review
Hi Tech Legion posted Scosche Kickback iPhone Case Review

The Scosche Kickback is a well designed case that offers a unique feature to add to the iPhone's versatility. The plastic backing and rubber sides help protect the case from bumps and minor drops, and the included screen protector helps to keep the touch screen free from scratches. The kickstand has its own benefits and makes video viewing a pleasure, allowing it to be a completely hands free event. Scosche designed an excellent case with the Kickback and, having the price at $15, there should be no questions on whether the case is worth the price.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could have the big screen experience while on the go? While it may immediately solicit memories of Cyclops from X-Men or Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, the Vuzix iWear AV920 is actually a set of video glasses. Well, glasses might not be quite the right term.

Sparkle Calibre X265 GeForce GTX 260 896MB video card review
Elite Bastards posted a review on the Sparkle Calibre X265 GeForce GTX 260 896MB video card

While much of the positive talk this generation may have surrounded AMD's Radeon HD 4800 series of graphics boards, NVIDIA's competing GeForce GTX 200 parts still have a lot to offer in their own right, particularly when matched up with some smart thinking on the part of AIB partners. Today, we take a look (for the first time on this site) at a graphics board from Sparkle, who have looked to add their own particular spin to the GeForce GTX 260 in terms of both clock speeds and cooling solution. Have they succeeded in creating a compelling offering? We check it out.

I think the Titan FENRIR did an excellent job at cooling my rather hot Core i7 920 processor. Although installing it can be a bit of a pain on some motherboards, it's still possible.

Silverstone's Element series is a range of products intended for the efficiency and silence crowd. I first took a look at this line of units with the ST70EF, an FSP built model that came up wanting in several areas.

Since then, some of my readers have asked me to look at one of the SevenTeam based models instead to see if they were any better. Folks, I give you the ST85EF 850W model.

Lenovo has been known to make some really good low-cost systems that are powerhouse systems without all the "extras" the other laptop makers
throw into their systems. Their notebooks tend to be very thin and extremely portable, which makes Lenovo systems perfect for a frequent traveler or anyone on-the-go. This model, the IdeaPad U350, has a 13.3 inch display, 3GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and has excellent battery life.

Despite the fact that something new will not come out of NVIDIA GT200 architecture manufacturers are doing their best to attract customers to their models. Either it's the bundle, design of card itself or price some argument should exist. MSI decided to trade on prestige and design so, as result, we got MSI N285GTX SuperPipe 2G...

PC Stats posted a review on the ASUS P7P55D-Deluxe Intel P55 Express Motherboard

ASUS' P7P55D-Deluxe motherboard is a socket 1156 Core i5 platform representing the flagship feature set.

Further expansion comes via a pair of PCI Express x1 and PCI slots. The P7P55D-Deluxe supports ATI Quad-GPU CrossfireX and nVidia Quad-GPU SLI, though you'd be hard pressed to find many users clamoring for a Geforce right now.

Futurelooks checked out the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 Smartphone

For better or for worse, Sony Ericsson isn't exactly the first name that comes to mind for me when I think about smartphones. That's not to say that the company doesn't make quality handsets; it's just that I'm more familiar with the Walkman line of music phones and the Cyber-shot line of camera phones. Well, they've got a hot smartphone too and it is known as the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1.

Seasonic S12D 750 W Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets posted Seasonic S12D 750 W Power Supply Review

Seasonic M12D 750 W (SS-750EM) was one of the best-performing power supplies we've reviewed to date, presenting only high-end components and a very high efficiency thanks to the DC-DC converter used on its secondary. Seasonic released now a more affordable version from this power supply, called S12D (SS-750HT), which the main difference is not coming with a modular cabling system. Let's see if this is the only difference between them.

ASUS MATRIX GTX285 Review
OCC has published a review on the ASUS MATRIX GTX285

With the GTX285 getting a little long in the tooth and the next generation of video cards right around the corner, you have to wonder why you would make another high end model? Build it and they will come. Limited Edition cards with higher performance and more robust looks and cooling sell even with the higher price tag. Does everyone who makes that purchase use it to its fullest extent? Not always, but the performance is there if you need it.

The Saiph 3200 looks extremely attractive, and Mionix appears to have hit all the right notes with this rodent, an extremely unusual feat for such a new company. Gotta love those Swedes, they sure know design. Well, today should prove very interesting, as I will admit I'm absolutely fanatical about mouse features and functionality. The Saiph (and Alioth) have an uphill climb ahead of them. Let's find out if they'll reach the summit or cave to the vast peripheral wasteland.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler

Rethinking a few things after the original Hyper 212 was released, Cooler Master saw the need to take the 212 back to the drawing board and see what they could do to offer a better solution. Not only is the actual cooler a bit different this time around, but they went with another style of fan. They also got together with the engineers to develop an all new mounting hardware, which are welcomed changes in my eyes.

I cannot make a direct comparison of temperatures however, as my testing method at that time was very different from the T.E.C.C. solution Chris created and what we use here today. I will however point out all the differences from the original design to the Hyper 212 Plus.
