Lian Li Test Bench PC-Q06 Review
ocaholic posted a review on the Lian Li Test Bench PC-Q06

The PC-Q06 belongs to Lian Li's first series of benchtables. These are made of ananondized aluminium and they're therefore lightweight and good loking. Ergonomics being the most important thing about bentables we have to clarify if the Q06 is able to convince especially at this point.

On our test bench today we have the H70 and we will be putting it through its paces against the H50, CoolIT Vantage and Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme to establish where Corsairs latest product sits in the marketplace. Have they improved on the H50 and more importantly can they give us a strong reason to choose the H70 over products such as the Tuniq Extreme and CoolIT Vantage?

SilverStone Strider Plus 600W Power Supply Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the SilverStone Strider Plus 600W Power Supply

At CES 2010 SilverStone announced that it would be consolidating its power supply lines into a single series, the Strider. That model name has been in use for years, however all of the new Strider models feature 80Plus certification and modular cables, something the older units didn't offer. The one we have for review today is the Strider Plus 600W. Appearing very similar to its 750W sibling, this unit has identical 150mm x 160mm x 86mm dimensions, the same silent 135mm fan, single +12V rail design and offers many of the same protection features such as over-current, over-power, over/under-voltage and short-circuit.

Asus LGA1156 P7P55D-E Pro Motherboard Review
HotHardware posted a review on the Asus LGA1156 P7P55D-E Pro Motherboard

When we published our comprehensive P55 motherboard roundup back in early April, one of the boards we discussed and really liked was the Asus P7P55D Deluxe. At $220, that particular board was priced significantly higher than some of the other LGA1156 options we considered. Fast forward a few months and we've got the LGA1156-based P7P55D-E Pro on the table. Its MSRP is considerably lower than the P7P55D Deluxe's ($179.99 vs. $219), and it offers features like USB 3.0 and SATA 6G, both of which aren't available on the other board. The P7P55D-E Pro's features and price make it an attractive option, but does it stand up against the newer LGA1156 boards from other manufacturers? Let's find out...

Arctic Sound E352 Wood Enclosed Headphone Review
Legit Reviews posted Arctic Sound E352 Wood Enclosed Headphone Review

The ARCTIC SOUND E352 wooden chassis headphones are said to have warm sound definition which is ideal for those who prefer natural audio performance. Read on to see how what E352 headphones come with and if they are comfortable and sound as good as Arctic Cooling says they are after we try them out for a few weeks. Will the use of real wood make the audio experience that much better?

The Arctic Sound E352 headphones were great to try out as you never know what you are going to get with you listen to a pair of speakers that you have never listened to. The very first second that we used the E352's we noticed how comfortable they were to wear. During the review of these we used them for a flight from St. Louis to Los Angeles and they were easy on the ears even when using then the vast majority of the 3 hour 30 minute non-stop flight out there. This is good thing as no matter how good a pair of ear buds are, if they don't feel good to wear you won't use them. Arctic Sound E352's are comfortable, so no worries there...

SilverStone SST-AP181 Air Penetrator Fan Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the SilverStone SST-AP181 Air Penetrator Fan

Along with the innovation in computer case design comes an increasing number of new fan designs. Manufacturers try to tune noise and performance with tweaks to rotational speed, blade design, and even grill and fan chassis alterations, giving the enthusiast a broad selection of fans with differing acoustic and airflow levels. SilverStone Technology has introduced a new version of the giant 180mm fans used in their "vertical motherboard" chassis series (the Raven RV01, Raven RV02, and Fortress FT02): the SilverStone SST-AP181 Air Penetrator fan. Benchmark Reviews compares the performance of this new fan to the stock fans in a Fortress FT02 case to see if the extra performance justifies their price.

ASUS P6X58D-E Motherboard Review
OCC has published a review on the ASUS P6X58D-E Motherboard

Overclocking the ASUS P6X58D-E was simple once I realized it didn't like the XMP profile of the Mushkin Redlines with the default BIOS v108. To keep the board happy I had to run the memory at 7-7-7-20, with an update to v303 it was able to run the XMP profile just fine. Manually setting the BCLK, CPU multiplier, memory speed, CPU/QPI/memory voltage, turning off Speed Step, and a few other minor settings were all that were needed and then some to get past 200 BCLK - the number needed to get 4GHz without the extra turbo multiplier on a i7 920.

Siig SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to SATA 3Gb/s 2.5" Enclosure Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Siig SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to SATA 3Gb/s 2.5" Enclosure

Up for review today I’ve got another USB 3.0 enclosure for 2.5” drives, this one is from a company called Siig. The enclosure is unique in that it’s tool-less, it’s one of the first USB 3.0 ones that I’ve seen anyway. The enclosure is made of aluminum making it great for heat dissipation, and being metal it’s also durable. The Siig enclosure even comes with a nice little carrying case so you can take it with you in style.

Corsair A50 Review
Neoseeker posted a review on the Corsair A50

The A50 is a CPU cooler aimed at the mainstream market, meaning it is focused on delivering bang-for-the-buck. It's easy on the wallet, and even easier to install on your motherboard, so now we find out if it's as hassle-free to review.

The A50 that we are going to be looking at in this review uses a tower style design with three tick copper heatpipes connected to an aluminum finned array. It does come with a relatively smaller cooling area than the A70 and only one fan, so the A50 is more a replacement for a stock cooler than an all out overclocking machine. Still, the cooler uses a tried and true design to offer the best cooling possible for those on a budget.

Siig Wireless-N PCI Adapter Review
Bona Fide Reviews posted a review on the Siig Wireless-N PCI Adapter

The other day I took a look at the Siig Wireless-N USB adapter, today I have the PCI version of it simply called the DP Wireless-N PCI Adapter. It’s very similar in the features it has like the ability to be an access point and it includes the same useful software. USB dongle style adapters are nice, but when you want a more permanent solution you’ll opt for one that goes in your computer like the one I have today for review.
