Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer HSF Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer HSF

More and more I get people approaching me asking about cooling their rig. Sunbeamtech never really crossed my mind when people ask me. I tend to go with Thermalright, Zalman, Noctua, or Tuniq myself. After having my hands on the Core-Contact Freezer from Sunbeamtech, I might have to start adding them to the list of viable solutions to today's cooling needs.

D-Tek FuZion v2.0 Waterblock Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the new D-Tek FuZion v2.0 Waterblock

The FuZion v.2.0 may not be a monumental difference from its older brother, but this prettier version has a lot going for it. Outside of the convenient Pro-Mount for LGA-775 users who want to set it and forget it, it's got a lot of fluid running through its veins.

The differences in this test may seem small, but we're dealing with a battle of some of the best of the best. The TDX, as I've said time and again, is far from too old to compete. But the FuZion manages to shave degree after degree off as my beefy test system starts to stretch its legs. It's to the point where I look at the radiator and wonder if it's becoming the limiting reagent of the system...

All of this is before you even begin looking into "options" like the same pressure nozzles you can slap onto the TDX. Restriction will be cut down to...what, the second best block in watercooling? If it's the only block in your loop, you might as well -- it's just going to bring temps down further. The whole idea of the FuZion 2.0 is attractive at this rate, and its price doesn't hurt either. At only ten quid at max over competing blocks, it's hard not to love it.

Whether you like the Delryn and chrome look or it's really not your thing, there's one thing that is undeniable. The D-Tek FuZion v.2.0 may be little more than a form revision, but that's because its function still sits as king of the high-flow world. If low temps and lower restriction are your thing, you won't go wrong choosing this block.

Gainward Bliss 9800GX2 graphics card Review
Metku took a closer look at Gainward's Bliss 9800GX2 PCIE graphics card.

As a conclusion of the 9800GX2 I have to say that it's a truely impressive piece of kit. I had my doubts about dual GPU systems, but in
our tests the SLI worked nicely and gave a significant performance boost over single card setups.

Western Digital Caviar GreenPower 1TB HDD Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Western Digital Caviar GreenPower 1TB HDD

As various components become more advanced, they also require more power to operate. According to Western Digital, the average 1 TB hard drive has a power consumption rating greater than 13.5 watts. Western Digital's new GreenPower drive, which we will be looking at here today, claims to shave 4-5 watts over typical drives in the same category. Any power saving is a welcomed addition, but will the drive's performance be hampered to accomplish this?

Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 Review
Techgage posted a review of Gigabyte's latest X48 board.

Building a new machine and want DDR3 support? Then the X48T-DQ6 should be up for consideration. It offers great performance, very stable high overclocks (500MHz) and lots of connectivity, including a full eight USB ports at the back. The layout is not ideal, but the board still proves good overall.

MSI P7N Diamond Review
OCC has published a new review on the MSI P7N Diamond

With the positive results I achieved with on the last 780i board I tested still fresh in my mind, I was looking forward to pushing the MSI P7N Diamond to the absolute limit. Unfortunately, the limit came rather quickly. I tried using the official BIOS and two of the available beta releases, and found that my overclocking efforts were severely hampered by an inability to lower the multiplier on my Q6600 processor. In fact, this same CPU has achieved rock-solid stability with its FSB set at 491MHz - but on the MSI P7N Diamond, stability stopped at 391MHz. The 780i boards are tough nuts to crack, but this one was just too tough, and did not produce much fruit for my labor. After spending a week trying to gain some semblance of stability, I found it at 391 x 9. Voltages up and down the spectrum were adjusted, and I even tried leaving them set to Auto just for kicks. Did the board overclock? Sure it did, but not to the extent I am used to seeing. It may be that a more mature BIOS is the key to unlocking all of the potential of the P7N Diamond.

Evercool NP-901 Royal Notebook Cooler Review
Virtual-Hideout posted Evercool NP-901 Royal Notebook Cooler Review

Here at VH, we seem to currently be on a little "notebook cooler pad kick" of sorts. Not that I'm complaining, especially after I received this next item up for review: the Royal Notebook Cooling Pad (Model: NP-901) from Acoustic PC. This sharp baby was created for laptops from 14" to 17" wide screen, has storage drawers for peripherals, and is fitted with USB 2.0 ports to mount externals. The Royal is made of 100% aluminum for maximum heatsink style cooling, and sports a smart, 8 cm silent fan that pulls exhaust air away from your laptop instead of pushing outside air into it, thus eliminating a significant amount of dirt and dust contamination and helping to prolong the life (and health) of your notebook.

Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote

Logitech really is covering all the bases with its peripherals these days. The last Logitech product I reviewed was the MX Air Mouse and I thought that was a nifty bit of kit to control your home theater setup. The proverbial cake however has not just been taken; it’s been flaunted and eaten right in front of our starving faces.

I'm referring to the Logitech Harmony One remote control here; a nifty slick piece of all-in-one cake that can control TVs, DVD players, VCRs, game consoles, home media center PCs, air conditioning units and pretty much everything else that uses an Infrared transmitting remote control.

Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 Pro Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 Pro Surround Sound Headset

CyberSnipa has its crosshairs on surround sound gaming headsets, but do they hit the mark? Yes and no is the definite answer. The Sonar 5.1 Pro Surround Sound Headset offers a decent all-in-one headset with 8 speakers, plush velvety comfort, and a USB connection. But it only offers mediocre sound quality.

Theres little for me to do but tell you that it is a surround sound headset, with a lot of speakers, a miocrophone, but it the Sonar is also a USB sound card in its own right. Just plug it in, and you are ready to play.
