ASUS M4A78T-E Review
ocaholic.ch posted a review on the ASUS M4A78T-E

With the M4A78T-E ASUS presents a DDR3 mainboard that comes with graphics already onboard. Therefore you have the possibility to buy a graphic card in a second step which makes the board interesting especially for beginners who would like to upgrade their system step by step. The fact that the motherboard also supports CrossFireX makes it even appropriate as a basis for an AMD/ATI gaming PC.

DriverHeven takes a look at the ASUS MARS - QUAD SLI

Asus have just rewritten the Nvidia rulebook with the release of their 1 grand video card - the Asus MARS. Its basically two 285's on one board with 4GB of high performance ram. Asus sent us TWO of these limited edition boards and we put them in a watercooled system to see just how many frames they can deliver with all the modern gaming titles.

MESH Slayer Elemental desktop system review
Elite Bastards posted MESH Slayer Elemental desktop system review

A quick once-over of the basics of the Slayer Elemental gives us a pretty good first impression in all honesty. While AMD's Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition is no longer the CPU manufacturer's flagship processor it still isn't far off, while also holding plenty of overclocking headroom if that side of things floats your boat. 4GB of fast memory and a good quality ASUS motherboard both check their respective boxes, while the inclusion of a Radeon HD 4890 graphics board guarantees top-notch gaming performance on the 22", 1920x1080 resolution provided with the system as standard.

The respective cherries on the top of this configuration are the use of CoolIT's great little Domino CPU water cooling system, and the inclusion of an SSD for the Elemental's system drive (more on that aspect of things later). Throw in a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium in its 64-bit flavour and a one year return to base warranty, and you're all set!

ASUS Crosshair III Formula Motherboard Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the ASUS Crosshair III Formula Motherboard

The ASUS Crosshair III Formula motherboard essentially takes the 790FX M4A79T-Deluxe PCB and tweaks it a bit while adding additional features and bumping the quality in the components. Like all Republic of Gamer boards the Crosshair III Formula comes with an add-in audio module providing cleaner sound. There is also the LCD Poster which provides diagnostic information and a menu for browsing through the options provided in TweakIt. TweakIt is a hardware supported overclocking feature that lets you adjust all the BIOS settings on the fly. This can help all overclockers push their systems to the edge of stability. Before we dig into the board images and tests here's a list of the features on the board...

Coolermaster HAF 922 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Coolermaster HAF 922 case

The Cooler Master HAF series began with the 932 which evoked mixed opinions among users and enthusiasts. The second edition in the series, with a similar imaginative name, the 922, has been adjusted a little making it into a slightly smaller Mid Tower chassis as well as allowing a price drop in the region of $20.

The difficulty in judging a case is that there is not a set of benchmark scores that determine a chassis' "performance". Conversely, a series of factors from ease of installation to aesthetics, the later being predominately user preference orientated, help to rate a particular case.

With Cooler Master's vast experience in the chassis market, expectations are of an impressive showing that can compete on the level of the ATCS-840 and CM: Scout. Let's see how it holds up.

Core i7 Extreme Overclocking with LN2
HotHardware.com posted a new article in which they experiment with Liquid Nitrogen overclocking.

In order to push the limits of the 975, we decided to leave the safe confines of air cooling and enter the precarious world of sub-zero chilling. Liquid nitrogen, or LN2, is commonly used as a coolant within the overclocking scene and can reach much lower temperatures than air, water, or the phase change cooling you may be accustomed to. While we are used to seeing processors operate in air-cooled settings of around 40'C, the use of LN2 will allow us to push clock speeds all the way down in the -80'C range in order to unlock the overclocking capabilities of both the motherboard and CPU. We paired a Core i7 975 processor with the EVGA X58 Classified motherboard to find out just how far we can go with the X58 platform and Intel's current flagship CPU...

InWin X-Fighter PC Case Review
DreamWare Computers checked out the InWin X-Fighter PC Case

There's no doubt as to the number of sports-car inspired PC cases that are on the market. There are cases made by the actual designers of sports cars, and others that are simply inspired by those designs. It's easy for a car lover to find a classy case for his or her computer. What about movie lovers though? We see a lot of movies with crazy and futuristic technologies in them, but not the same number of computer cases on the market inspired by these movies. To continue their highly innovative product trend, InWin brings us the X-Fighter case. This is a case that's said to be inspired after many ships from the Star Wars series of films. Of course it's easy to make a case look "out there in space", but is it really practical when it comes down to it? Let's see!

While there are many companies in the SSD marketplace, few carry with them the same brand recognition as Corsair. In this review we take a look at one of their newer solid state drives which promises great performance at a price point that has up until now been reserved for much lower-end products. Let's hope they can deliver.

Cooler Master Gladiator 600 review
Neoseeker reviews a case from Cooler Master -- the Gladiator 600

No wants a chassis that looks like a potato -- just as no one wants a chassis that is as sexy as a '69 Mustang Mach 1, but can't keep temperatures below 80 degrees in the winter. It is when both form and function are combined well that a product becomes one that we appreciate, and then decide we want to bring home to meet the family.

VisionTek 4850 1GB B2 Review
OCC has published a review on the VisionTek 4850 1GB B2

Overall, the VisionTek 4850 1GB B2 performed decently, although overclocking potential is limited. The core ran cool thanks to the Accelero L2, and the power circuits even had a small heat sink. This video card is easily installed into most systems with its wide array of connections: HDMI, VGA and DVI. The VisionTek B2 video card has a basic package, but for a midrange card it is adequate, and nothing really stands out as lacking.

Have just $100 to splurge on a new graphics card? Is having low power consumption and low temperatures important to you? If so, the HD 4770 certainly deserves your attention.

CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Heatsink Review
Ninjalane has posted their review of the new Hyper 212 Plus from CoolerMaster.

This is your standard tower style heatpipe cooler with the radiator being the perfect size for a 120mm fan. Just like the original Hyper 212 there are 4 physical heatpipes bent in the middle giving us twice the cooling capacity.
