ZOTAC NVIDIA 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard Review
TweakTown published a review on the ZOTAC NVIDIA 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard

The 790i is the first chipset from NVIDIA to be re-designed totally. 790i has its own PCI Express 2.0 controller built into the chipset along with a new memory controller for DDR3 memory with support for EPP 2.0, and today we have ZOTAC’s high performance motherboard to play with.

ZOTAC has definitely made its mark with us. While our first board we received from them based on the GeForce 8300 chipset failed to impress, the 790i Ultra SLI board really got us going.

HIS Radeon HD 4870 CrossFire Video Card Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 4870 CrossFire Video Card

Last week, AMD was forced to release the ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards early since some retailers had already started selling the card to the public before it was launched.

This is the big brother to the Radeon HD 4850 and features higher clock speeds and newer cutting edge technology like GDDR5 memory ICs for improved memory bandwidth.

VisionTek & MSI Radeon 4850s V NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ Review
DriverHeaven posted a comparison review between nVidia 9800 GTX+ and Radeon 4850 based video cards

For a few weeks it appeared as if ATI would easily achieve this goal but some aggressive price repositioning of the 9800 GTX by Nvidia as well as a snap announcement of the 9800 GTX+ mean the 4850 is hitting a very crowded but interesting market.

Today we will be running the two new products through a selection of the latest games at resolutions up to 2560x1600 as well as delving into some Blu-Ray playback testing and overclocking in order to establish how well they perform. We will also be looking at how they compare to the more expensive cards currently available to see if the extra cash outlay really does benefit the consumer, or if these new cards provide excellent performance at a much more attractive price.

AMD Phenom X3 8750 Review
Digit-Life posted a review on the AMD Phenom X3 8750

Frankly speaking, considering test results of Phenom X4 9850, we were not keen to test a lower-clocked Phenom X3 8750 with fewer cores. However, our initial negative thinking served the good turn, because we were not disappointed. On the contrary, we decided that some people may seriously like this curiosity.

Let the (digital) bullets fly.

Noctua NT-H1 Review
Tech-Reviews.co.uk checked out the Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Paste

Thermal paste is probably the most disregarded part of building a PC. However, thermal grease can be a very important factor for users wanting to overclock or game heavily. One of the leading manufacturers in this field is Arctic Cooling with their Arctic Silver range. Arctic Silver 5 has always been the most favourable paste, but today, we have another manufacturer, Noctua, challenging Arctic Cooling for the title of the thermal paste king. Let's fight.

Shuttle KPC K45 Barebones System Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Shuttle KPC K45 Barebones System

I've had this KPC for a month now. Maybe longer, actually. This review has seen setback after setback: I've had entirely too grand a time playing with this little Linux wonder to really bother with writing. Sure, it's got drawbacks--big ones, to be honest--but it also has this charm not readily engendered by other boxes, no matter how small, elegant, or polished they may be. And, pretty soon, I'm going to have to take it apart and stick its silicon organs into another machine so I can report on my KPC's performance. I want to delay that. I want to keep playing.

ASUS EAH4850 512MB Review
Techgage posted their review of the new HD 4850 card, from ASUS.

Proper competition from AMD in the mid-range scheme of things might have taken a while to happen, but it does happen with the HD 4000 series. We are taking a look at the smaller of the two new models, which offers exceptional performance for the price of $200.

SoundCast OutCast Wireless Speaker System Review
I4U NEWS published a review of the SoundCast OutCast Wireless Speaker System.

Today we are looking at the SoundCast OutCast speaker system that wirelessly streams music from your iPod or other source to a large speaker that is battery powered. The speaker itself is weather-proof and can be used outdoors without fear of splashes.

If you aren't a fan of the iPod or a pal wants to listen to their tunes on another MP3 player an auxiliary jack allows direct connection of other PMPs. However, you will have to use the player's controls for skipping tracks and other functions since the onboard controls of the SoundCast OutCast only work for iPods.

VisionTek HD4850 Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the VisionTek HD4850

The VisionTek Radeon HD 4850 is lean, slick, and a stick of dynamite in a knife fight when up against the competition. Delivering a product to the market for $199 that packs this much punch is almost shockingly refreshing. If you read (or write) many hardware reviews, you might get a bit jaded after hearing how every new product comes out is this fast, or that fast, or this much faster than the last fast. But really, for the performance levels put out by this single-slot card, relatively speaking as new generations of video cards go, for $199 the HD4850 just inspires.

Sapphire HD4850 Review
OCC has published another review on a 4850 this one being the Sapphire HD4850

The Sapphire HD4850 utilizes ATI's design of their newest core using a 55nm manufacturing technology, the RV770 using 512MB of GDDR3 memory. I had expected to see some great numbers from the new card, however what I saw was way beyond what I expected. The stock benchmarking scores of the HD4850 beat the 9800 a few times and got beat a few times by it, however once the Sapphire HD4850's core was overclocked to 670MHz and the memory was pushed all the way up to 1100MHz, it was able to compete with the competition's newest card, the GTX 280. When the card was overclocked, unlike the PowerColor HD4850, the temperatures of the GPU were sitting around 82-86 degrees Celsius under load, while these temperatures are not very good and are quite high, I felt that they were safe enough for me to be able to run some benchmarks.
