ASUS ENGTX580 DirectCU II Review
OCC has published a review on the ASUS ENGTX580 DirectCU II

Just the overclocking street cred alone puts this card into the upper crust of GTX 580 video cards for good reason. The overclocking results achieved with the GTX 580 DCII are the highest I have reached out of the five-odd GTX 580 cards I have tested. No small feat when you look at it. ASUS has this card equipped to run the numbers with its exclusive SAP power circuit. Run the numbers it did on the GF110 core. I was able to reach a stable core clock of 979MHz, or almost 200MHz over the as-delivered 782MHz.

NZXT Source 210 Elite Computer Case Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the NZXT Source 210 Elite Computer Case

When buying a case enthusiasts must balance between cost, aesthetics, and build quality. Normally you can only have two of these three things but on rare occasions companies produce a case that has all three properties in one case. NZXT has given enthusiast one of these rare cases with the NZXT Source 210 Elite which at $50 combines all three of these traits into one case. Benchmark Reviews will see if the Source 210 Elite is really the holy grail of mainstream cases or will this perfect looking case fall apart when scrutinized?

ASUS MARS II 3GB Dual GTX 580 Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS MARS II 3GB Dual GTX 580 Video Card

In 2009 we saw ASUS bring us the first in what would become a line of limited edition graphics card beasts. The MARS sporting the power of two GTX 285 cores brought us excellent performance. 2010 saw ASUS jump on the AMD side of things and release the ARES which sported two HD 5870 cores. A new year and a new card sees ASUS jump back on to the NVIDIA side to release the sexiest looking card we've ever seen; the MARS II.

There's not a lot that has to be said about the MARS II to be honest. We saw ASUS show it off at Computex and show us the kind of performance the card was able to offer. It will be the first card to use our updated testbed along with our updated benchmark line-up.

Gigabyte Z68X-UD7-B3 Motherboard Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Gigabyte Z68X-UD7-B3 Motherboard

The Z68X-UD7-B3 is Gigabyte's flagship mainboard for the Intel socket 1155 Z68 chipset lineup. Gigabyte gave the Z68X-UD7-B3 an identical layout to the P67A-UD7-B3 as most of the changes are under the hood. Like all Z68 motherboards, the Gigabyte Z68X-UD7-B3 is capable of using Intel's new Smart Response Technology which implements storage I/O caching to improve storage response times for traditional hard disk drives. Unlike some Z68 motherboards however, the Gigabyte Z68X-UD7-B3 does not have any display outputs on the rear I/O, thus is incapable of utilizing Intel's revolutionary QuickSync technology.
