Cooler Master Elite 310 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Cooler Master Elite 310.

Cases, chassis, enclosures, towers; there are so many names for the component that houses the rest of our computer components. There are also a lot of chassis out there to choose from. Some are small, some are big, some are medium sized. There are even oddly shaped chassis. With all of the chassis choices out there on the market, you have the option to pick and choose a chassis that fits you personality.

Back in January of 2009, Cooler Master had a chassis on display that had no information on it, with it, or for that matter near it. It quickly became known as the mystery chassis. Well now here in July, Cooler Master finally brings us the introduction of this 'Mystery Chassis' the Elite 310.

Alienware M17x Dual-GPU Gaming Notebook Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Alienware M17x Dual-GPU Gaming Notebook

The M17x is Alienware's current flagship gaming notebook. It features an anodized aluminum shell that is available in a variety of colors, including silver, black, and red, and its 17" LCD sports a covering comprised of a shingle sheet of glass, that runs from edge-to-edge. The M17x also features 'BinaryGFX' technology which gives users have the ability to switch between discrete or integrated graphics and a 'Stealth Mode' in which the discrete graphics cards are turned off and other components throttle down to achieve a 65W power limit. We tested a high-end configuration, complete with an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300 processor, dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs, 8GB of RAM, and 1TB RAID 0 array, and it put up the best benchmarks scores we have seen from a notebook to date...

GIGABYTE MA785GPM-UD2H 785G AM3 Motherboard Review
TweakTown posted a review on the GIGABYTE MA785GPM-UD2H 785G AM3 Motherboard

While the processors keep coming, chipsets to support it are still making their way from AMD’s fabs. And since AMD has taken over ATI’s graphics and chipset departments, their 7 series chipsets have been anything but disappointing, especially with regard to the integrated graphics.

To that end, we have the latest instalment from AMD’s chipset division. Fresh from NDA today we have the 785G chipset. Based around the 790GX chipset, this puppy is aimed at the budget users. However, it does get one major upgrade, DX10.1 IGP, something the 790GX doesn’t.

Hardware Secrets posted a review on the EVGA Killer Xeno Pro Gaming Network Card

Who hasn't screamed at the monitor when a faltering internet connection disrupted an otherwise good online match? No matter how powerful and gaming-oriented a PC is, sometimes lag is inevitable. To try and minimize these problems, BigFoot Networks released the Killer Xeno Pro, a network card sold by EVGA that takes control of the internet away from Windows and manages the bandwith to the user's gaming needs. The operation is a bit complex but the purpose of this test is to see if it delivers what it promises.

Kingston Hyper X PC3 12800 Cl9 6GB Review
OCC has published a new review on the Kingston Hyper X PC3 12800 Cl9 6GB

Since the modules are rated at 1600MHz 9-9-9-27 what better place to start then to see if the loose timings can be improved upon. To start with I lowered the Cas Latency, TRTP and TRD to 8 and the TRAS to 24 all while running the default 1.65 volts. Expecting a black screen I was surprised that the modules booted and then tested fine at 8-8-8-24. Next I started bumping the memory speed up by increasing the bclock a few MHz at a time and rebooting. Then thing is the modules kept scaling with the 8-8-8 subtimings until I reached 1884MHz. So far 284MHz worth of extra clock speed. At this level I was able to benchmark game and run stability tests at will. Any higher though required the Cas Latency to move to 9. Voltage did not help and above 1.68 I would get errors so the max voltage used was 1.67 volts. Moving on up from 1884 I finally reached 1976MHz with the timings at 9-9-8-24 with the memory voltage at 1.66 volts QPI volts at +220 and the CPU at 1.28 volts. 376MHz (187MHz actual) worth of increase for a set of memory that costs just 131 bucks is nothing to sneeze at. Unfortunately 2000MHz just was not to be for me on this set. So close yet so far.

AMD 785G Chipset Launch: ASUS and Gigabyte Tested
HotHardware posted a review on two AMD 785G motherboards

For the last several years AMD has had a series of excellent mainstream chipsets. First with the original 690G which offered a wealth of features and surprisingly competent IGP performance. Then later with the 780G and 790GX chipsets which added a little more of everything, while keeping the price palatable. Now AMD is ready to kick it up another notch with today's announcement of the new 785G chipset.

You might not be entirely surprised to hear the 785G being announced. The 785G is one of the worst kept secrets this season, with plenty of leaks and glimpses over the past month. However, today we are able to bring you full coverage of the new chipset with a complete shakedown on our test bench. We have three retail samples in our lab from ASUS and Gigabyte...

Thermaltake Element G Review
PureOverclock has published a review on the Thermaltake Element G mid-tower case.

Thermaltake's Element series of cases is geared to the 'professional' consumer. Not exactly sure what that means, but we did examine the Element S and found it to be an excellent mid-tower case. Now Thermaltake has released the Element G, with a bit more flash and features that seem more suited to the gamer market. So does 'professional' still apply here? Again, we're not sure. But instead of pondering the philosophical questions that concern the nature of what it means to be professional, how about we grab a drink and take a look at this mid-tower instead? Sounds a bit more fun, don't you think?

Rosewill FORT 120 / RCX-SHDT120X1 CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Rosewill FORT 120 / RCX-SHDT120X1 CPU Cooler

Rosewill is a relatively fresh manufacturer to enter the computer component market. They encompass everything from cases, to power supply units, to fans and coolers. From what I have gathered, Rosewill is Newegg’s "house brand" with a goal to provide quality parts at a reasonable price. Above all, Rosewill’s main objective is to keep their customers happy. As a consumer myself, I am glad to see an upstart company striving to please the customer versus making the all mighty dollar first.

Rosewill has released their largest CPU cooler and have submitted this FORT 120 to our labs for testing. This is a tower style cooler and Rosewill’s first cooler to be cooled with a 120mm fan. They, however, don’t stop there. The FORT 120 holds a few tricks up its sleeve, such as heatpipes that make direct contact to the HIS and also something Rosewill calls "Stonehenge Technology" which I will show you a bit later.
