Hardware Canucks posted a review on the Ultra V-Series 400W & Ultra V-Series 500W Power Supply

This week we've reviewed the budget-priced Ultra V-Series 400W & Ultra V-Series 500W Power Supplies. While easy to work with and fairly silent with decent voltage regulation, these PSUs offered little in the way of ripple suppresion and efficiency.  Even so, the lifetime warranty and small price tag might be enough to win over consumers....

Bit-Tech posted a review on the EVGA e-GeForce 8800 Ultra Superclocked video card

Today, we have a look at the first of a couple of pre-overclocked GeForce 8800 Ultras to grace our labs. There's no question that EVGA's e-GeForce 8800 Ultra Superclocked is one of the fastest cards we've ever tested, but is it worth buying?

techPowerUp posted a review on the Cyber Snipa Intelliscope Laser Gaming Mouse

The Cyber Snipa Intelliscope gaming mouse comes at a price tag of under $25, but includes a lot of functions one would usually only find in mice twice as expensive. These include an on-the-fly DPI switch, programmable buttons and perfect left handed gamer support. The only real shortcoming is the somewhat bloated and buggy software. If you are willing to look past that, the mouse itself will certainly not disappoint.

DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Thermaltake ND3 Liquid VGA Cooler for Nvidia

A few days ago I took a look at the Thermaltake Armor LCS case, today I have sort of a compliment to that, the Thermaltake ND3 VGA Cooler Kit for Nvidia cards. I have two BFG 7900GT OC cards running in SLI, and I found that these Thermaltake kits easily fit with running SLI and are also silent and keep my cards running nice and cool. Since the connectors are a standard size, these ND3 kits can be used with pretty much any Thermaltake kit or other liquid cooling kit that uses the same size tubing. Thermaltake included two different sized fittings for tubing as well, so it is almost universal...

XSReviews has reviewed the OCZ Reaper PC8500 HPC

OCZ are well known throughout the enthusiast community for being one of the top few memory manufacturers when it comes to overclocking. Recently, they have also become known for their innovative RAM cooling solutions such as the watercooling option that comes with their Flex memory kit. Today I have another of their heatsink clad kits, the Reaper PC2-8500 HPC (Heat Pipe Conduit), which features twin heatpipes leading to a black painted heatsink.

PureOverclock posted a review on the EVGA e-GeForce 8800 Ultra Superclocked

The card we're testing is not a basic reference model, it's EVGA's top of the line part, the 8800 Ultra Superclocked. This is one of the fastest cards on the market, with yet further increases in clock speeds -- 650MHz on the core, and 2250MHz on the memory, so let's see if these extra clocks are worth the extra cash over the price of a GTX.

BurnOutPC.com has posted a review on the Gigabyte 3D Aurora Casing

This is a beautiful case with excellent build quality. The included LED fans do a great job lighting up the inside, and keep a steady airflow going through the case. This case is prepped for the Gigabyte 3D Galaxy water cooling kit, so it's a good choice if your looking to upgrade to a water cooling system but you don't want to start hacking into your expensive case. The 3D Aurora doesn't handle vibrations that well. I experienced that with my raptor hard drive spinning at full speed. The Antec P180B for instance, has grommets that work really well. But a part from that, it's a beautiful case, well worth the money. If your looking for something that's pre-modded, with lights and water cooling ready than you should definitely keep this one in mind.

Viper Lair posted a review on the Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 Motherboard

While there are quirks for this or that, it is something we all have become accustomed to, as no motherboard has everything we want, exactly how we want it or I would be out of a job. Gigabyte brings to the decision making process 3 things that will make it hard not to choose them over the competition: A stellar performing solution, a design that is both logical and efficient and downright good looking motherboard.

PC Apex Review has posted a review on the Ultra Products ChillTec Thermoelectric CPU Cooler

Heatpipe cooling has been around long enough now where I don't need to explain how that works, and I gave a very basic explanation of how TEC's work earlier. So why are there two heatpipes cooling what should be the cold side of the TEC? You would think that in order for the TEC to be more efficient they would have placed all four heatpipes on the hot side. Here is why they chose this design - 50W. A 50W TEC is no match for a modern CPU and would easily be overpowered by the heat generated. In order to overcome the limitation of the TEC, they augment the cooling by moving two heatpipes down to the bottom. I'm sure this was done to minimize the system power requirements (which is listed as a 350W PSU minimum) but I doubt the TEC will help a whole hell of a lot when a system is under load. It will be all heatpipe, baby. I would like to see this setup with a 150W TEC or better and see how it performs, but then the PSU requirements would go way up which would minimize the number of consumers available who could purchase the ChillTec.

ThinkComputers.org posted Hanns-G HW191D 19-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor Review

Monitors are a necessity, but figuring out what monitor is for you can be a tough choice. At least one thing is for sure your new monitor is going to be a LCD. Today we will be looking at a 19-inch LCD from Hanns-G. Hanns-G is not that well known so we will see just how well the HW191D will perform. It does feature a 1440 x 900 resolution, 700:1 contrast ratio, and a 5ms response time. It has a great price of $159.99 from Geeks.com, which is much lower than other 19-inch monitors. Let's see if it's worth picking up.

OCC has published a new review of the XFX 680i LT SLI Motherboard

XFX makes motherboards? Why yes, yes they do! You have known them in the past for their Nvidia video card lineup. Now we can see if their successes on that front translate into success on the motherboard front. The XFX 680i LT SLI is one of the latest offerings from their motherboard lineup. This board is promoted towards high end pc users and gamers that want performance on a budget, not as a hardcore enthusiast board. That distinction falls to the 680i SLI model. The 680iLT chipset has been called the "lite" chipset because it is supposedly a stripped down lower cost version of the 680 chipset. Does that translate into lower performance? We shall see. This board features Quad core support,1333 fsb, 800mhz DDR2,2 x16x Pci-e slots for SLI configurations. In other words support for the latest Cpu's ,memory and graphics solutions. Having had the opportunity to use some of the latest 680 chipset offerings on the market I am curious to see how the LT version on a true Nvidia reference design holds up.

The TechZone has reviewed the LapWorks Ergo Riser Aluminum Desktop Stand.

The Aluminum Desktop Stand from the folks at LapWorks addresses many of the concerns that people have when using a laptop computer. Not only does it make the experience more comfortable, it also helps your computer perform better by effectively dissipating heat. But how does it do that and can a few pieces of aluminum justify the $60 (MSRP) asking price? Well, I had a chance to take this cooling stand out for a test drive and the results were remarkably impressive.
