HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control Review
DragonSteelMods posted HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control Review

The HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control is from our friends at USBFever and it's really three things in one, a mini-USB to 3.5mm jack adapter, volume control and a microphone. This little gadget essentially lets you turn any headphones or earbuds you have into a handsfree setup. There are many choices out there for handsfree sets but really most have sub-par headphones included with them, and it's usually only one earpiece, with this gadget from USBFever you get to use your own headset. Being able to use any headset is very nice indeed, also you can get this for about $15.00 shipped to you from USBFever, so not only is it very useful but very inexpensive and well worth it...

AMD Phenom X3: One too little or one too much?
Madshrimps posted a review on the Phenom X3 8450 and compared it to the AMD X4 and Intel C2D.

The AMD Phenom X2 was announced quite some time ago but still hasn't seen the light of day; instead we were greeted by the X3 Phenom, a new breed of processor, first in the market to offer a Triplecore solution. This CPU is priced lower than AMD's own X4 and Intel Core 2 Duo series. In our review today we test the Phenom X3 8450 and compare it to an AMD X4 and Intel C2D.

NZXT Tempest Case Review
ThinkComputers.org posted NZXT Tempest Case Review

NZXT has recently been coming out with some great mid tower cases. ThinkComputers got the chance to take a look at the new NZXT Tempest case. This case is probably different than most other cases you've seen because it has a bottom, rather than top, mounted PSU. It also includes plenty of features for overclockers, water coolers, and storage fanatics, while still displaying a sleek design. NZXT calls this the "Airflow King" because it includes SIX 120mm and larger fans. Don't worry, they're probably quieter
than the case you have right now.

PNY Verto GeForce 9600GT Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the PNY Verto GeForce 9600GT Graphics Card

Today we will be looking at a 9600GT from PNY which comes in under the Verto naming scheme. While this might sound like some form of OC series, it isn’t. Verto is simply what PNY choose to call their graphics card line-up.

It still carries the same one-slot profile, but we have a smaller fan that sits on the left of the card as opposed to the right. The shape of the cooler is also slightly different to the standard cooler.

SteelSeries 5H v2 USB Headset Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the SteelSeries 5H v2 USB Headset.

For a lot of people, an all-in-one bundle from a popular brand is just what they need; it would minimize the research work for finding quality, and it would combine soundcard and speakers/headphones to further reduce consumer work. Enter the 5H v2 USB headset from SteelSeries. This headset not only comes backed by the name that so many people trust, SteelSeries, but also comes bundled with a USB soundcard for a cheap upgrade over onboard sound.

Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Review
OCC has published a new review on the Gigabyte X48T-DQ6

Overclocking the X48T-DQ6 was in all respects just the same as the X48-DQ6. The Q9450 I use in my reviews ran up on the same 470FSB limit that it did on the DDR2 version of the board. This limited my memory overclock to only 940MHz at 8-8-8-24 1t. Tweaking the voltages and timings did not allow me to progress any further. Reaching the limits of my chip may seem like a bad thing, but it's not really when you look at it. Some never get that far, while some people can eclipse the results I have achieved. It all comes down to how good your individual hardware is and the time it takes to pull the most from the X48T-DQ6. There are enough options in the BIOS to allow for fine tuning the voltages, clockspeeds and memory dividers. I found that the B (333) dividers were the most stable for the hardware I used on this board. Of course, your mileage may vary.
