GeForce 9600 GSO 386 MB review
The Guru of 3D posted Point of View GeForce 9600 GSO 386 MB review

NVIDIA replaced the GeForce 8800 GS with the GeForce 9600 GSO. The 9600 GSO is still based on the same G92 core with 96 stream processors that the 8800 GS has, but NVIDIA gave card makers a bit more freedom in their designs in terms of own PCB design to and determine their own clocks. This 'old' card will still have 384 MB of GDDR3 memory over a weird 192-bit memory interface. Cards like these will sell for less than 99 Euro, and considering the performance you get returned for that, you'll love it. Guru3D peeks at Point of View's offering with a 14 page review.

Hypersonic Avenger AG2 12" Notebook Review
Techgage posted a review of Hypersonic's upcoming sub-notebook, the Avenger AG2.

Hypersonic's known for building performance PCs, so where did this sub-notebook come from? Don't worry, it packs a punch, with its 2.5GHz Intel CPU, 4GB of RAM and 200GB 7200RPM hard drive. After taking pricing and feature set into consideration, we have good reason to be impressed.

XFX GeForce 9600 GT XXX Alpha Dog Edition Review
Elite Bastards posted XFX GeForce 9600 GT XXX Alpha Dog Edition review

We've already established that the big selling point of XFX's GeForce 9600 GT Alpha Dog Edition is its clock speeds, and there are certainly some decent increases to be found here. Starting out with the board's core, this comes clocked at 740MHz, with a shader clock of 1850MHz, giving us factory overclocks of 90MHz and 225MHz respectively. Memory also gets a clock speed bump, with this board sporting GDDR3 RAM clocked at 1GHz against the 900MHz on a reference board - In other words, a 100MHz factory overclock.

Bigbruin.com posted a review on the Sapphire Toxic 512MB Radeon HD3870 Graphics Card

The Sapphire Toxic 512MB Radeon HD3870 graphics card offers strong performance right out of the box, but if you have any interest in overclocking you can turn it into a real powerhouse. There are really no negatives to discuss in terms of performance, quality, and overall appeal. The card performs well, it stays cool and quiet, and the bundle of accessories is generous.

Solio H1000 Hybrid Solar Charger Review
TechwareLabs has published a review of the Solio H1000 Hybrid Solar Charger.

You are stranded in the desert, forest, or on the road and need to make a call and find that your cell phone is dead. Just after you finish cursing your god of choice you remember you have the Solio H1000, plug it in and a short while later your phone is usable once again. This is the concept behind the Solio H1000, a hybrid charger that is billed as a flexible solar charger that will restore life to lifeless cell phones and other USB charged devices. We test the Solio and bring you the fact and the fiction.

OCZ Vendetta 2 Exposed Heatpipe Base Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the OCZ Vendetta 2 Exposed Heatpipe Base Heatsink

The OCZ Vendetta 2 heatsink features three large copper heatpipes that make direct contact with the top of the processor. This approach takes advantage of the superior heat conducting capabilities of 8mm diameter heat pipes to efficiently move heat from the processor to the cooling fins, without any intermediary steps. The technique is called Heatpipe Direct Touch, and as you've seen by the Top 5 Heatsinks chart... it's a winner.

With so much stress being put on the need for ultimate accuracy for mice nowadays it is no wonder that many companies are constantly designing new mousing surfaces to fulfil this requirement. One such company is Evo-G who has sent us over the MP1 to take for a spin.

ATI Radeon HD 3850 256MB Video Card Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the ATI Radeon HD 3850 256MB Video Card

With it's release during the massive hardware holliday last year, the HD 3850, the least of four major cards, is easily overlooked. That's really a shame, since it's really a top-notch gaming card. Obviously, it's not the first choice for enthusiasts, but from a value perspective, it's without a doubt the best choice.

Samsung T220 Review
InsideHW.com has posted an article about Samsung T220.

Very often short descriptions in manufacturer manuals for displays are: exceptional design and excellent performances which is the case with Samsung T220. If some monitor looks nice we can see that by ourselves when we take it out from the packaging, but when it comes to other manufacturer's promise (about performances) we need to check them by ourselves for its authenticity. Samsung T220 satisfied the first half of its description from the moment we put it on the table.

AcBel Polytech iPower 660 Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the AcBel Polytech iPower 660 Power Supply

AcBel Polytech is a very well known OEM manufacturer, producing power supplies for brands such as Cooler Master. Now they seem interested in the retail market and today we are going to completely dissect their iPower 660 model (also known as PS2/660 or PC7016), which should reach the US market pretty soon, to see if it can really deliver its labeled power and what is its internal design.

Asus Crosshair II Formula Review
Neoseeker published a review of the Asus Crosshair II Formula motherboard today.

I liked the little touches - the power and reset switches on the motherboard, the clear CMOS on the back panel - and of course all the solid state caps. While the heatpipes and heatsinks did get hot during the overclocking tests, they did not get to the "burning" stage that the Nvidia 680i and 780i got to - and the board recovered gracefully when I tried to overclock it too high.

Palit GeForce 9600 GSO Sonic 768MB Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Palit GeForce 9600 GSO Sonic 768MB

It seems we’re right on time for another pointless release of a graphics card that is slightly better or slightly worse than what is on the market already, whilst carrying with it a price tag pretty similar to that of what’s already available. Did that confuse you? - The thing is, these graphics card releases from NVIDIA are becoming nothing short of a joke.

I’ve actually tested the 9600 GSO; I know how I’m going to wrap this up before I even wrote this introduction, and it’s a real doozy. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves though, let’s find out exactly what the card looks like, what Palit has done with it and if the package stands out in any way.

In Win Metal Suit GD Review
OCC has published a new review on the In Win Metal Suit GD

When you drop down the black air duct, you are able to reveal the hard drive cage that is completely covered by the large air duct. This is so that the hard drives that you may have installed are able to receive fresh air to be cooled with. When you take a closer look at the hard drive cage, you can see that directly in front of it a fan measuring in at 120mm size and colored bright yellow like the other fans. There is a tab that you are able to lift up that will allow you to rotate the cage a little so that you are able to remove the 120mm front air intake fan, as well as allow for a more convenient way to run any wires you need to hide.

EVO-G MP1 Mousepad Review
HardwareLogic posted a review on the EVO-G MP1 Mousepad

Long gone are the days of skimping on a mouse pad. For the casual user a mouse pad is nothing more than a medium between the mouse and the desktop. For a gamer however, a mouse pad could be the difference between life or death! This life or death scenario is virtual, of course, but stings just the same. EVO-G claims their MP1 is "spectacular," a claim we plan to put to task. But who is EVO-G?

OCZ SATA-II 32GB 2.5-Inch SSD OCZSSD2-1S32G Review
Benchmark Reviews has posted a review on the OCZ SATA-II 32GB 2.5-Inch SSD OCZSSD2-1S32G

Perhaps Benchmark Reviews like to ride the edge of technology just a little too close, since we've tested more DDR3 and SSD's than almost everyone else on the web, but the bleeding edge is what where most enthusiasts like to live. OCZ allowed us to test their first Solid State Drive product, the OCZSSD64GB, and while the pricing very affordable the performance wasn't so impressive. Now just a short three months later, OCZ has returned with one of the industries very first SATA-II SSD products, the OCZSSD2. It would be a shame to give away the details, but it appears that the extra time at the design table was very well spent. OCZ's new Solid State Drive offers industry leading performance matched by ultra-affordable pricing, and sets a new record.

Ultra X3 800Watt Modular Power Supply Review
Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Ultra X3 800Watt Modular Power Supply

Testing yielded stable voltages, quiet operation and I won't have to worry about buying a new power supply when the time comes to upgrade my system. The flat, flexible modular cabling system was great to work with and has spoiled me completely. I can't imagine going back to regular cables, much less a non-modular design.
