Xclio Hovercraft Notebook Cooler Review
OCC has published a review on the Xclio Hovercraft Notebook Cooler

The Xclio Hovercraft is a pretty solid notebook cooler, providing strong cooling benefits as well as ergonomic benefits. The six fans allow for a good deal of airflow through the cooler and under the laptop. The Hovercraft can be powered through a USB port on either side of the cooler but cannot function as a USB HUB. While operating, the fans in the Hovercraft have a blue glow that is not very noticeable. The fans are a single color and cannot be changed to any other color.

Lian Li PC-T60 PitStop ATX Tech Station Review
Benchmark Review posted a review on the Lian Li PC-T60 PitStop ATX Tech Station

If you're the kind of computer enthusiast whose case is always open, and you change components in your rig more often than you change your underwear, a "work bench" type of computer case might be something you could use. These open-air chassis make it easy to swap out components and access areas of your system like diagnostic LEDs and voltage measurement points. Of course, they also make it easy for the dirt and danger of the outside world to get to your system's expensive and delicate electronics, so they're not for everyone. Lian Li's new PC-T60 and PC-T7 Test Bench chassis (for ATX/mini-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, repectively) address this market with the brushed aluminum flair the company is known for, and Benchmark Reviews checks out the new Lian Li PC-T60 ATX/Mini-ATX Test Bench chassis in this review.

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W Power Supply Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1200W Power Supply

Cooling, power, and chassis profferors Cooler Master just launched a new line of high-end power supply, the Silent Pro Gold series. This series is 80PLUS Gold certified and is backed by a five year warranty. It’s a hybrid modular unit, meaning that it has some cables built-in while others are modular. This is among the first 80PLUS Gold-certified units ThinkComputers has seen. We recently reviewed the first 80PLUS Gold-certified PSU we’d seen, the Sparkle Gold Class 1250W. 80PLUS Gold means that the unit is at least 90% efficient at 20%, 50%, and 100% load. ThinkComputers has the review.

Thermaltake FRIO Overclocking CPU Cooler Review
Techgage.com posted a review of Thermaltake's latest CPU cooler, the FRIO.

When Thermaltake first unveiled its FRIO CPU cooler, the company promised that it would be one of the best-performing models it's ever released. Now that we've had the opportunity to put our sample through our usual battery of tests, we can attest to that claim being true. To top it off, the FRIO even includes a fan speed control and reasonable price.

Sapphire Radeon 5670 Ultimate Review
PureOverclock posted a review of the Sapphire Radeon 5670 Ultimate graphics card

The Sapphire Radeon 5670 Ultimate is a low-power, passively cooled, budget graphics card, marketed to consumers who may be interested in something for their HTPC or the occasional foray into some light gaming. It packs a bit of horsepower, but it does run utterly silent, so Sapphire has a rather interesting combination to offer here to consumers.

G.Skill Phoenix 100GB Solid State Drive Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new G.Skill Phoenix 100GB Solid State Drive

At this point, SSDs sporting SandForce controllers seem to be a dime a dozen. This hasn’t stopped G.Skill from releasing their own SF-1200 based drive but they have also modified the design in order to improve performance while keeping its price below that of the competition. Could this be the perfect SSD for enthusiasts looking for maximum value?

Enermax Cluster 120mm LED Case Fan Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Enermax Cluster 120mm LED Case Fan

The Enermax Cluster 120mm case fan is hard to overlook. With several new technologies and attractive looks, the Enermax Cluster stands out from the crowd. Immediately evident is the Enermax Cluster's white finish and kinked "Batwing" blades. The Enermax Cluster also boasts increased airflow and quieter performance, due to technologies such as their patented "Fairy" frame, "Twister" bearing and "Halo" carved frame. Let's see what these unique features bring to the Enermax Cluster.

MSI GeForce GTX 465 Twin Frozr II Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the MSI GeForce GTX 465 Twin Frozr II

MSI is the first board partner to release a custom designed GeForce GTX 465 card. The original GTX 465 design's fan noise made it very clear that a Fermi GPU is running under the hood. Not with the GTX 465 Twin Frozr II, the card is whisper quiet in both idle and load, and manages considerably better temperatures than the reference design.

Crucial 128GB C300 RealSSD SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Crucial 128GB C300 RealSSD SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive

As NAND Flash technology has continued to develop and Solid State Drive manufacturers push the envelope of controller speed, we have seen performance figures that approach, and even bump against, the threshold of SATA 3Gb/s bandwidth limitations. Thus the need for a new standard, SATA 6Gb/s, is making its way into design specifications of new hardware. However to date there has been only one solid state srive manufacturer to bring a SATA 6Gb/s product to market, Crucial with their C300 RealSSD series. Join me as I take a closer look at the Crucial 128Gb C300 RealSSD SATA 6Gb/s drive.
