Mikhailtech posted Noctua NF-R8 & NF-S12 Fans Review

Here we have the "Low Noise Compensators", essentially rubber plugs for installing the fans into the case. The concept is that you push it in through the back of your case, align the fan and push it onto the plug. This works - in theory. Realistically the expanded part of the plug is too wide to fit through either fan's mounting holes completely, meaning you have to slightly shave down at least one side of the plug (or widen the fan hole) if you want to install the it all the way using these. Of course there is a partial install option (just push it as far as it'll go), but that can get wobbly after some time. You can still use the provided case screws, but they won't dampen vibrations as much.

Virtual-Hideout posted Gigabyte Triton 180 ATX Chassis Review

Gigabyte Technology is perhaps best known for its motherboards, but they are active in many other areas. One of them is PC cases, and they are hoping to catch some eyes with their newest series of cases, the Triton 180. The case market has expanded quite a lot in the past few years; no longer is it adequate for a good case to just be well-built. Not only does it have to look good, but it has to provide a multitude of features such as good cooling, ease-of-access, and a tool-less design if people will be willing to part with their money for it. Gigabyte hopes to accomplish this with their Triton 180 series, an entry into the ever-popular mid-tower ATX market. With its stylish design, it certainly looks the part - but does it deliver the goods?

PC Apex have a new review up of an old but good heatsink from Zalman, the CNPS7700-AlCu LED

Over the years Zalman has improved on many things but the design has stayed the same. Incase you are wondering what they have improved on over the years. The mounting brackets went from one piece to an interchangeable clip design to easily switch between different sockets. The fan mate went from version 1 to version 2. For those that like to show off their gear Zalman added LED fans. So what is new with the CNPS7700-AlCu LED.... well, it has a red LED fan. For those of you that have liked the looks of the Fatal1tys red LED fan. Zalman now has a lower priced and a lower weight solution.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Cooler Master Aquagate S1 in their latest review

Needless to say, a full, high quality water cooling system will undoubtedly run you a few hundred dollars. The average high-end PC owner either isn't ready to drop that much more money over an air cooler or doesn't need to cool anything except their CPU. And even among those who do have the dough and the desire, it takes a special person to take that leap of faith to a custom water kit, with so much room for mistake and ruining your beloved computer.

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Buffalo FireStix 2x1GB PC2-9600 5-6-6

The presence of DDR3 memory in the market has a lot of people wondering if DDR2 is already on its way out. The answer to that is no, not even close. DDR2 memory has really stretched the limits of what SDRAM can do over Jedec standards. With many modules running at well over the specified 1.8v, such as these Buffalo PC2-9600 modules at 2.3v, DDR2 has surpassed what many of us would have thought the performance to ever be with DDR2.

ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500 2GB Memory Kit

We all know OCZ for impressing us with great looking heatspreaders on their memory modules.

Besides just making modules that look great OCZ has improved the cooling with their new patent-pending cooling solution called Reaper HPC. This solution uses heatpipe technology to dissipate heat. Read on to learn more about this technology and check out the Reaper HPC modules.

Virtual-Hideout posted Patriot 2x1GB PC2-9200 1150MHz Memory Kit Review

The benefits of buying these high frequency memory kits is that you can expect the very best memory modules used to build them and they often run at higher stock frequencies without degrading the memory kit. We've seen some insane overclocks and memory performance from various PC2-7200, PC2-8500, and PC2-9200 memory kits. Patriot Memory is currently working to bring some extreme memory kits that will definitely peak your interests. In the meantime, one of those kits happens to be their new PC2-9200 Extreme Memory Kit. Have a look at this kit before you go off buying some with fancier heat sinks.

OCC has published a new review of the Sapphire x1950 PRO Ultimate Edition

Is your video card's fan too loud? Do you want to be able to play your
games in almost silent conditions to allow you to focus and dominate the
competition? What if I told you that there was a video card that was
silent but still gave you great framerates to play the graphically
challenging games you love? Let's see if Sapphire's X1950 PRO Ultimate
Edition, with a Zalman heatsink and fan, is the card you're looking for.
From past experience with both Sapphire and Zalman, I have a feeling
that this will be a deadly combination. We're going to find out how well
this card does against other mainstream video cards, as well as some
high-end video cards.

XtremeComputing posted Antec Fusion HTPC M/ATX case Review

All in all this is a very smart little case, the lack of fan in the hard drive chamber did have me concerned that the drives would run too hot, but while they were a little warmer than with active cooling it was nothing to be alarmed about. Also excess heat is able to escape through the vents at the bottom of this chamber.

DV Hardware has published a review of the new Logitech V220 notebook mouse

As laptops are growing ever more popular, more people are looking for a notebook mouse. It's perfectly possible to control a notebook with its trackpad but everyone who has used a notebook for a couple of hours will know that these trackpads aren't really convenient. A real mouse is still a lot more comfortable to use and therefore more and more people are in the market for a notebook mouse. As not everyone wants to spend a lot of money on one of the more expensive notebook mice like the Logitech VX Revolution or the new VX Nano, I'll take a look at one of Logitech's cheaper offerings: the Logitech V220 notebook mouse.
