Altec Lansing inEar Headphones UHP101 & UHP307 Review
InsideHW.com has posted review for Altec Lansing inear headphones UHP101 & UHP307

This time we have tested two models of inEar headphones from Altec Lansing. UHP101 and UHP307 models don't have attractive nor interesting names but they definitely stand out in mass of standard inEar headphones that you can nowadays find on the market. Both models have same 15mm High Power Neodymium Drivers and because of differences in construction of resonant chamber, the resulting sound is not the same..

FatMat Sound Control Review
Mikhailtech posted a review on the FatMat Sound Control

Trying to resolve computer noise? But having a hard time justifying spending a ton of dough on highly rated case just to keep the decibels down? Well perhaps some FatMat sound control would be the answer. We're going to use it on everything from a high-end HTPC case to a custom case with some thinner panels. Will this automotive product work in a computer case? Lets find out!

Thermaltake M9D Computer Case Review
Rbmods posted a review on the Thermaltake M9D Computer Case

When I choose a computer case, I am often drawn towards a couple of things: good looks and cool features that will make building and using the computer enjoyable. Thermaltake, makers of a wide variety of computer products, sent us a sample of one of their new cases, the Thermaltake M9D mid-tower computer case, which from the package seems to combine stylish looks with a sophisticated design. Can their case live up to these lofty goals? Let's find out in this case review.

Lian-Li PC-V1010 Aluminum ATX Case Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Lian-Li PC-V1010 Aluminum ATX Case

The Lian-Li V1010 is the successor of the very popular V1000. It now incorporates some of the new and unique features, which you will find in the X2000 or X500, at a much lower price point.

G.Skill F2-8800 Pi Series DDR2 CL5 4GB Kit Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the G.Skill F2-8800 Pi Series DDR2 CL5 4GB Kit

The G.Skill Pi Series goes a completely different route, than other high-end memory today. Instead of pushing the envelope on voltage, it gives you some crazy performance at default or close to default DDR2 voltage.

Toshiba Satellite A300D-125 Review
InsideHW.com has posted review for Toshiba Satellite A300D-125 notebook.

One of common ways to attract customers is to redesign product from time to time. This time Toshiba Satellite's turn came up and we tested exact model Satellite A300D-125. Letter "D" point to AMD processor but the whole story about external looks can be applied also on Intel variant.

In two words - dazzle everywhere. Not only has that cover partially looked like mirror but the complete keyboard is done in shine black so-called piano finish. Notebook looks powerfully despite the fact that is actually real magnet for dust and fingerprints.

BFG GTX 260 896MB Video Card Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the BFG GTX 260 896MB video card

Both the GTX 260 and the GTX 280 were launched a little over a month ago and while the higher end 280 was available immediately at launch, the less expensive 260 was greeted with a paper launch. Since that time, Nvidia seemed to have been surprised by ATI's launch of the HD4800-series of cards which turned out to be extremely successful and performed above what many expected them to. In order to combat these lower-priced cards, Nvidia has sent the prices of the GTX 280 and GTX 260 into freefall. Once retailing for a bit over $400, GTX 260 cards can now be had for a shade under $300 after rebates here in Canada in some rare cases. Say it with me again: "competition is good".

GELID GC-1 Thermal Compound Review
TweakTown posted a review on the GELID GC-1 Thermal Compound

When it comes to thermal compounds, there used to be only one real choice; Arctic Silver. Unless you were building OEM type systems and selling them to others, AS was really the only viable choice for a quality high performance product. Over the past year, however, things have changed dramatically. Several new contenders have come to the front of the market place and shown that there are better solutions.

Enter GELID Solutions, a company founded in 2008 whose goal is to design and manufacture thermal solutions. Though new to the business market, the company is led by a pair of men with experience in the PC cooling industry and aiming their new and growing product line directly at the enthusiast/gaming segment.

Top Dual/Quad-Core CPUs: Enticing Heights
Digit-Life posted a top Dual/Quad-Core CPUs comparison

It was not difficult to come up with a topic for our today's article, because many readers demanded this very analysis: comparison of top processors from Intel and AMD. Even though we state repeatedly that these products differ very much, and their comparison makes little sense, our readers still want to know the truth, no matter how bitter it is. Well, here you are.

Raidmax Iceberg Case Review
Virtual-Hideout has posted a review on the Raidmax Iceberg Case

The Raidmax Iceberg impressed us with its sturdy and quality construction. We were definitely not expecting an aluminum case to be so strong, but the thick aluminum of the Iceberg makes it one of the strongest cases we've seen. The design of the case also makes it one of the easiest to disassemble, from the nice side panels to the easy-to-remove front panel. Cooling options provided were also very decent, with four fans out of the case.

ASUS M3N78 Pro Review
OCC has published a new review on the ASUS M3N78 Pro

Overclocking this board took a lot of trial and error, but I finally managed to get it stable and good to go. The CPU core voltage maxes out at 1.30v on this board, so you are limited in how far you can push it. Also it did not like a multiplier greater than 14x, after that the computer would not even boot. I also had to put the HyperTransport multiplier to 10x to have the link remain stable. Since I could not modify the memory settings, which had a default 1:2 divider, they had a mind of their own. After all of the bumping and resetting of the CMOS I finally got to 2.950GHz stable, and no problems while running the benchmarks. So with that, the overclocked tests will be run at 2.950GHz on the Phenom X4 9850.

Zaward Gyre (ZJ010) CPU heatpipe cooler Review
XtremeComputing posted Zaward Gyre (ZJ010) CPU heatpipe cooler review

Today I am going to be looking at a product from a company that, until fairly recently, I knew very little about. That company is Zaward and they are best know for their cooling products so it may come of no surprise that the product in question is the Zaward Gyre ZCJ010 cpu cooler. A “gyre” is a vortex so I am hoping for some decent results.

OCZ Core 64GB Solid State Drive Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the OCZ Core SATA-II 64GB Solid State Drive

OCZ Technology has the honor to be the first ever manufacturer to have one of their SSD drives tested here at Guru3D.com, and we have others in queue as well. Despite the negative spins from traditional HDD manufacturers and a couple of sour SSD manufacturers who do not have their technology right, let me state .. Solid State Drives are here to stay, and inevitably they will replace HDDs. And by saying that I do not mean in the next 3 years or so. But think of long term usage, this will be the faster technology, this will be a high-volume technology and it will be a reliable technology as there are no more moving parts inside that storage unit.

The SSD technology has advanced to a level where it can compete with even the fastest WS Velociraptor HD, and let us show you exactly that. You can find the review here

Asus Triton 85 Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Asus Triton 85

There's no sugar coating the fact that the Triton 85 is a turkey. With very poor thermal performance, a tricky (and easy to break) mounting system and a high price, the advantage of silent cooling is completely lost in the swamp of negativity surrounding it's other flaws.

We feel a lot of the blame can be laid at the top down design of the heatsink, which interrupts the airflow through the case and blows hot air straight down onto the motherboard and surrounding components rather than towards the case exhaust where it needs to go.
