techPowerUp posted a review on the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT

ATI's new Radeon HD 2400 XT comes with the RV610 GPU which is built in 65nm. This means the GPU is cheap to make and consumes very little power. AMD has also added several new power savings features which makes this card one of the least power hungry on the market. For a price of only $79 you will be able to play back HD videos on almost any CPU using an HDMI + HDCP + Audio link with the UVD HD video acceleration hardware.

APH Networks has published a new review on the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 and Turbo Module Graphics Card Cooler

After all, the idea of computer component cooling is not just about performance. It's also about the amount of noise generation -- what this means is that there are people looking for the best performance regardless of all, while another group prefers quietness while retaining an adequate amount of heat dissipation. For those wanting their computer as quiet as possible (To an extent, I am one of them), it's about the process of elimination -- removing noise sources, one by one. How about using heatsinks only, without the fans? Now look at this: How about a relatively powerful graphics card with a passive heatsink? No, I am not dreaming -- or should I say, the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 is a passive graphics card cooler that makes our dream come true. The Accelero S1 is so good at heat dissipation that it relies solely on your case fans for airflow, so it does not need any fans by itself. On the other hand, since it's already so good without a dedicated fan, how about installing fans over it to make performance even better while sacrificing some silence? Today, we'll see how good the Accelero S1 really is, and how much the Turbo Module fan addon improves performance. We'll also examine the Turbo Module so to see if it will really sacrifice the silence.

Neoseeker has published a review of PowerColor's HD 2600 XT 256MB

In general terms, the HD 2600 XT is a diminutive card. It is the smallest card of the five we will be benching today. The printed circuit board is about an inch shorter than this Asus 8600 GTS.

Of the first things you may notice about this card is that it has no external power connector. We'll look at the power consumption numbers later, but for now, it's safe to say that it is not in the same power-class of a hog as its older brother, the HD 2900 XT. This probably has a lot to do with its 65 nanometer fabrication process. The other cards were made with 80(+) nanometer die process. As you probably know, the smaller the chip, the less power it needs, and the more cooling is required.

Bona Fide Reviews reviewed the Logitech Cordless Skype Handset

Skype has been on the offensive lately, offering itself as a cheap alternative to a traditional landline. Unlike GoogleTalk, or other chat programs, Skype has the ability to make calls to landlines and vice versa (SkypeOut and SkypeIn respectively). Although these services charge, the cost for a full year is about the same as 1 month’s cell phone bill. As its popularity has increased, so has third party support, with companies like Logitech producing Skype handsets and wireless phones.

InsideHW.com takes a look at a single-core Celeron processor based on Conroe-L core

Another of the processors on the test came into our possession thanks to pure luck, packed with one of the motherboards that came in directly from the faraway Taiwan. At first we thought that it was a standard C2D processor, but CPU-Z and BIOS revealed non-announced, mysterious Celeron processor, based on Conroe-L core.

Tweaknews.net posted Cooljag 92-Cu Intel/AMD Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review

With the Falcon 92-Cu, Cooljag could have had a solid performer if the temps would have been a bit lower that the aluminum version. This cooler easily outperforms the stocker and does so in a very quiet, unassuming manner, but it's not appreciably better than the Falcon 92-Al. Then, of course there's the mounting system failure issue. This is disappointing and inexcusable. The installation inconvenience can be glossed over, owing to the fact that most users install a cooler only once.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Samsung CLX-2160N

Samsung trumpets its CLX-2160N colour, laser-based, all-in-one machine as the world's smallest colour laser MFP. We certainly haven't seen anything to challenge that, as the complete machine is smaller than several colour laser printers we’ve looked at this year. The price is also good, coming in at just under £300, where most colour laser MFPs are nearer £500.

TrustedReviews have looked at the Samsung NV7 OPS digital camera

There is a prime example of Schneider Kreuznach’s finest product on this, the Samsung NV7 OPS. It is a high-spec 7.2-megapixel camera launched at the same time as the gorgeous NV10 which I reviewed last September. It shares many design similarities with the NV10, although there are also many differences. One large and obvious difference is the NV7’s big 7x zoom Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan lens.
