Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Review
Bjorn3D take a look at the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.

Does that processor of yours that you just bought not too long ago seem like it is lacking in power trying to run the latest games and applications? Many people will answer yes to this question, and many PC enthusiasts will turn to overclocking in order to extend the performance life of their computer. With the added performance that is gained by overclocking, another gain is seen as well; heat. In order to keep your freshly overclocked CPU cool under its new settings, looking into aftermarket coolers should be your next step. OEM cooling solutions typically work great for stock speeds and maybe even a slight overclock, but for those users looking to gain the most from their CPU, an aftermarket cooler is definitely in order. Luckily, Arctic Cooling has provided us with their Freezer 7 Pro for Socket 775 processors to see how it holds up to the extra heat gained from overclocking.

MTRON MOBI 64GB SATA Solid State Disk Review
TweakTown posted a review on the MTRON MOBI 64GB SATA Solid State Disk

Several years ago in a thread posted within a storage section of a popular forum, I learned of the fabled RAM Drive. This was several years before the GIGABYTE product of the same name, back when using memory as a storage device was more of a fable, or story of myth. At the time, no one had ever actually seen a RAM Drive, or at least not anyone tooling around in forums. This wasn’t because they didn’t exist, it is just that they cost more than a Honda Civic.

Today we will be looking at the future of hard drives. Mechanical is on its way out, and with it rotational latency. Moving at the speed of electrons is in, near instant access times and faster loading screens are on the way.

Thermaltake DuOrb CPU Cooler Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Thermaltake DuOrb CPU Cooler

The Thermaltake DuOrb is a sharp looking, well performing cooler that should fit in just about any mid tower and up, and some mini towers. At the $65 price point this could be considered a high-end air cooler. It’s quiet, light weight, good looking, and a breeze to install. It kept up with the NV-120 really well, which says lot for the cooler...

iPod AV Cable Review
DragonSteelMods.com posted a review on the iPod AV Cable

The release of the video enabled iPod has been wonderful for travelers. However, sometimes one may want to watch the video on their iPod on a full screen. Luckily, the USBFever people have the solution for this situation. The iPod AV Cable allows one to use the iPod Video to play videos on any RCA composite enable monitor. With this cable, you can hold a video stores worth of movies in your palm and enjoy them on a TV or monitor. Unfortunately, Apple has modified the video out on the newer iPod Classic and third gen iPod Nano, so this cable is unable to output video with these
iPods.

Mushkin XP-800AP 800W Review
OCC has published a new review of the Mushkin XP-800AP 800W

There is also a great feature worth mentioning here. The Mushkin XP-800AP has a special feature that allows you to operate the power supply on four rails or on a single rail, depending on your setup and power requirements. This change is initiated by a simple switch on the back of the power supply by the main power switch; slide one way and you have the single-rail setup and the other way for a quad-rail setup.

Xigmatek HDT- S1283 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 CPU Cooler

CPU cooling has always been important for the overclocker, but due to dual and quad cores it's becoming increasingly important for the casual user too. Water cooling and phase change are both great ways of cooling a CPU; however the extremes of these methods are both very expensive and can be rather risky. This is the reason why Air Cooling is still used today, though don't label it as boring, air cooling has changed dramatically over the past 3 years.

Today I will be looking at the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 which features anti-vibration rubber and a 120mm 'quiet' fan. So lets take this cooler out for a spin and see how well it performs....

Driver Heaven posted a review on the Silverstone Decathlon 1200W PSU

Today we will take a look at a very powerful PSU from Silverstone, the Decathlon 1200W.

Silverstone are renowned among for building products to the highest standards, so with that in mind let us see if the 1200W Decathlon can deliver the goods.

Panasonic BL-C1A Network Camera Review
TechwareLabs has published a review of the Panasonic BL-C1A Network Camera.

Recently we were sent an addition to the Synology DS207+ which increases the functionality of the device by adding an IP/Network Camera. We tested out this add on and bring you the results. Is it a simple plug and play device adding security to the already long list of features or is it more difficult?

Cooler Master Centurion 590 Mid-Tower Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Cooler Master Centurion 590 Mid-Tower Case.

It was a little over a month ago that I had a chance to review another Cooler Master case, the Cosmos S. While the Cosmos is certainly a supurb case, a veritable heavyweight contender, not everyone may have the space (or the pocketbook) for an enclosure like that. This month Cooler Master has sent us something scaled down a bit, but equally as impressive looking, the Centurion 590.

3D Game Man posted a review on the Crucial Ballistix Tracer Red PC2-6400 4GB Memory Kit

Like other Crucial Ballistix Tracer memory the Crucial Ballistix Red PC2-6400 4GB Memory Kit looks amazing, compatible, reliable, stable and overclockable. Crucial has always impressed me with their prompt service and memory support. Of all the memory I've reviewed it's by far the most compatible, which is fundamental when choosing memory.

techPowerUp posted a review on the VSONIC R02-PRO Earphones

VSONIC R02-PRO is the name of a reasonably priced set of earphones. They retail for around $69 which is to be considered cheap by earphone market standards. What is interesting to see is their rather different design and how they stack up against competitors from more established brands.

MSI N9800GTX-T2D512-OC (GeForce 9800 GTX) Review
Hardwarezone posted a review on the MSI N9800GTX-T2D512-OC (GeForce 9800 GTX) video card

It's only been days since the GeForce 9800 GTX made its debut but MSI already has prepared an overclocked version for the enthusiasts. Outwardly similar to the reference design, it is similar to MSI's own standard edition, but with higher clocks. Does it have the pace to stand out from the competition?

ASUS EN9800GX2 Top Video Card Review
I4U NEWS reviews the new ASUS EN9800GX2 Top Video Card.

Today we are checking out a factory overclocked 9800 GX2 called the ASUS EN9800GX2 Top. The card promises 11% overclocks right out of the box. Every time I look at a 9800 GX2 I am impressed by the performance delivered by a single graphics card. The ASUS EN9800GX2 Top is the fastest 9800 GX2 that I have tested to date and has a very nice bundle with it. ASUS might not be a name you think of immediately when it comes to overclocked graphics cards, but ASUS is working on that.

Gigabyte X38-DQ6 Review
OCC has published a new review of the Gigabyte X38-DQ6

The Gigabyte X38-DQ6 performed pretty well overall. While the performance it put out in the benchmarks were very comparable to the P965 board it was tested against, it still had a lot more room ahead if it had been paired with a better CPU and GPU. It also allows the user to have a second video card in Crossfire, which would boost performance up a lot. Some of the the best features on this board don't come from its performance, but from its other features, like the power saver. If you are in a pinch with high electricity bills coming in every month, just enable the power saver and, day after day, you can save a pretty decent amount.
