MSI 285GTX Superpipe Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the MSI 285GTX Superpipe.

I myself look at what that manufacturer uses for a heatsink on their video card. Yes, getting extra software, having an overclocked video card are all niceties but what's the point in getting a video card when you might need to spend an extra 30-50 dollars on top of your video card for a good GPU cooler that will make sure the video card stays cool at all times. Not to mention the possibilities of 'WHAT IF' that GPU cooler does not properly work, or gets installed wrong, what then?

MSI has been one of the top manufacturers that uses an aftermarket cooler for thier video cards. The 285GTX Superpipe is no exception to MSI's continuation of quality, not to mention their ability to think outside the box when it concerns thier products.

Remote Controlled Indoor/Outdoor Combo Power Switch Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Remote Controlled Indoor/Outdoor Combo Power Switch

What I have for review today is something that could make your life a bit easier and maybe even save you a little money in the process. It's a combo pack or two pack of electrical outlets, what's so special about these is they are remote controlled to make 'flipping the switch' that much easier.

Corsair HX850 850W PSU Review
JonnyGURU.com posted a review on the Corsair HX850 850W PSU

It seems an eternity since the last time Corsair released a modular power supply in their high performance HX line of units, and there has been a good deal of speculation around the net on when Corsair was going to finally release something in the 750W-850W range to better compete with the likes of the Seasonic M12D and Antec Signature units at that level.

Well, the waiting is over because Corsair is releasing two new units at 750W and 850W to fill the void. Today, I'm looking at the larger of the two units in the HX850.

NZXT Whisper Classic Series PC Case Review
DragonSteelMods takes a look at the NZXT Whisper Classic Series PC Case

Besides being very quiet, the Whisper case also provides maximum room for expansion. In addition it has room for nine hard drives and six 5.25" bays. Silent operation and roominess are not the only features of the Whisper; NZXT also threw in plenty of cooling with four fans. Two 120 mm and two 80 mm fans will help keep the system running cool and quiet.

NZXT BETA Classic Series PC Case Review
TestFreaks checked out the NZXT BETA Classic Series PC Case

A few days ago I took a look at the NZXT Guardian 921 PC case, today I've got another from NZXT as well, the Beta. The Beta chassis is meant to be more of a budget case, coming in at around $50, but it's got features of more expensive cases and overall it's a very nice case. The Beta features a tool-less installation for the optical and hard drives, enough room for four fans to keep things cool, and it's very aesthetically pleasing. So without further chatter from me, read on to learn more about an excellent case from NZXT

Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler Review
Verdis Reviews posted Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler Review

The tower format cooler with multi-heatpipes and large fin stacks has been a triumph for thermal solution companies alike far replacing the more traditional top-down cooler. One such company which still believes in the performance of this style of cooler and for its greater compatibility in smaller cases is Noctua. Their cooling solutions have earned them a highly regarded name and one such product that has contributed to this is their NH-C12P CPU cooler featuring a whopping 6 heatpipes and fins emanating directly from the base. Let's see if the performance can keep up with the newer tower coolers which now dominate the market.

ASUS GeForce ENGTX275 vs. ASUS Radeon EAH4890
InsideHW.com has compared ASUS GeForce ENGTX275 and ASUS Radeon EAH4890 graphics cards

With its HD 4890 model ATI raise a lot of dust and made huge impact on graphics card market. Despite the fact that this card should have been "just" optimized Radeon HD 4870, it was much, much more than that. RV790 is capable of withstanding frequencies that were unimaginable for "old" RV770, and just the fact that it can operate at 1GHz is completely different story. It is clear that this kind of overclocking freedom made this card a very interesting purchase for all enthusiasts.

G.Skill Falcon 128GB SSD Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new G.Skill Falcon 128GB SSD

While SSDs may be a dime a dozen, there are very few drives out there that could be counted as a viable alternative to the ages-old hard disk drive. Stutter issues as well as general performance pitfalls have kept these expensive products to niche markets instead of making serious inroads as people's OS drives. G.Skill's Falcon series promises to rectify all that. But can it?

Thecus N3200PRO NAS Server Review
OCC has published a new review on the Thecus N3200PRO NAS Server

We matched the Thecus N3200PRO against two other home-oriented units from D-Link and Cavalry and the Thecus unit walked away a winner by a
huge margin in all categories. The only advantage the 2-drive units have is in the single-disk category, one that the N3200PRO does not support. In all fairness though, it must be noted the D-Link DNS-323 is about half the price of the N3200PRO. We also included the business-class servers from Synology and QNAP so we could get a feel for how well the N3200PRO faired in the RAID 5 category. While it didn't beat it's competition, it came very close to the DS408. Once you take into account those units cost anywhere from two to three times that of the N3200PRO, the results are even more noteworthy.

80-way Thermal Interface Material Performance Test
Benchmark Reviews posted 80-way Thermal Interface Material Performance Test

Prior to our 33-Way Thermal Compound Comparison article published back in March 2008, there had not been another project of its size available online. So when Benchmark Reviews revealed our test results, it was a surprise to find that many overclockers had been ill-informed by marketing hype and misleading enthusiast opinions. Benchmark Reviews later published several other complimentary articles for performance hardware enthusiasts, offering an instructional guide on Thermal Paste Application Methods and testing for the Best CPU Cooler Performance. As the author to both of those articles, I have discovered that the most critical factors pertaining to thermal cooling performance seems to be overlooked. In this massive follow-up article, which was built from entirely new project data taking over one year of research to publish, our collection of test material has grown to include every product we could acquire from the marketplace. Benchmark Reviews has received advice of industry experts, manufacturers, and elite overclockers to bring you this comprehensive 80-Way Thermal Interface Material cooling performance comparison benchmark test.

iXBT Labs posted a review on the AMD Phenom II 9xx CPUs with DDR3 support

Today we are going to test two 9xx series processors including the new flagship Phenom II X4 955. To differentiate new processors from the older models supporting DDR2, the number "5" is added to their index. For example, the model 945 differs from the former flagship (model 940) only by DDR3 support (and a locked multiplier).

Mophie Juice Pack Air iPhone Battery Pack Review
Everything USB posted an in-depth Mophie Juice Pack Air iPhone Battery Pack review.

Ask any moderately serious iPhone 3G user about the device's biggest weaknesses and most will say battery life and the unit's susceptibility to scratches. Mophie's Juice Pack Air iPhone battery pack attempts to address both of these issues simultaneously, with a companion product to the very popular Juice Pack for iPhone 3G. I take my power-hungry iPhone 3G for a spin with the shiny new Juice Pack Air to see if for $79 you can have it all.
