Intel E6600 Core 2 Duo Review
Neoseeker has published a review of the Core 2 Duo E6600

Just like with our E6400, we were able to reach almost 3.2GHz with just the Intel supplied heatsink - however we knew that was not the limit of this processor, so we switched coolers and used a Noctua NH-12 to try to find the real limit of the processor.

Using our Asus P5B, with the latest BIOS, the Noctua NH-12, and two 63CFM 12cm fans, we were able to reach a whopping 3.48GHz with just air cooling!

I am not talking about just posting, or getting to the Windows desktop - for those metrics, we were able to reach up to 3.7GHz - I am talking running our whole set of benchmarks, without problems, and being completely stable at 3.48GHz.

OCZ PC2-8800 (1100MHz) Gold Edition Memory Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the OCZ PC2-8800 (1100MHz) Gold Edition Memory

The OCZ DDR2 PC2-8800 Gold Edition memory kit does exactly what it's rated to do and performs very well in all the benchmarks that we threw at it. We were able to reach 1111MHz with aggressive 4-4-4-12 2T timings, but needed to increase the voltage so high that it voided the lifetime warranty to hit stability. At these speeds we were able to get the modules to perform the same as the Corsair XMS2 DOMINATOR PC2-8888 kit, but at the cost of our warranty. When we kept the timings loose and ran the modules at 2.42V (our motherboard didn't have 2.40V) we were able to get the 1100MHz modules up to 1140MHz with 100% stability at 5-6-6-15 timings.

Zalman Fatal1ty Case Review
Hardware Secrets has posted a review on the Zalman Fatal1ty Case

Korea-based Zalman is one of the most respectable cooler and case manufacturers in the world. Their fame came thru the use of only top-notch materials and innovative solutions, especially their passive cooling products. Their latest release that should be reaching the market pretty soon is their new all-aluminum case, under the Fatal1ty franchise. We had the chance to take a good look on this new Zalman case.

Corepad Eyepad Mousing Surface Review
APH Networks posted a review on the Corepad Eyepad Mousing Surface

It's been almost a month since we've reviewed a mousepad here at APH Networks. Resuming our love and expertise at these often overlooked but lately the products in the spotlight, today we'll be looking at yet another offering from gaming accessories manufacturer Corepad -- interestingly, Corepad sent me all three sizes of their Eyepad line for me to write about. This includes Corepad Eyepad S, Corepad Eyepad M, and Corepad Eyepad XL, which we'll be testing them all out today in a single review to directly compare and examine which one is the practical one. Let's get it started.

ATI's Terry Makedon on Intel 965 chipset support in Catalyst
Elite Bastards asked ATI's Terry Makedon on Intel 965 chipset support in Catalyst

As you've no doubt already seen, ATI today released their latest driver for September, Catalyst 6.9. Included in this particular release is CrossFire multi-GPU support for users of Intel's 965 motherboard chipset in Direct 3D applications.

But what of OpenGL CrossFire support for this chipset? We asked Terry Makedon for the lowdown.

Thermaltake Embedded 7" Addon LCD Review
techPowerUp! posted a review on the Thermaltake Embedded 7" Addon LCD

The Thermaltake Mozart TX case has a unique 7" drive bay which was designed for installation of this LCD screen. The LCD panel is hidden inside the case until activated, then it slides out driven by a motor. An additional feature is the integrated touchscreen which lets you use your PC just by pointing with a little pointing device on the screen. Even though its native resolution is not something that is common in the PC world, the display's great scaler can still achieve excellent video quality and well readable fonts.

Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe Motherboard Review
PC Stats posted a review on the Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe Motherboard

In this review, PCSTATS is testing the Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe motherboard. This board is based on Intel's P965 Northbridge and ICH8 Southbridge chipsets. PCSTATS will show you both Pentium D and Core 2 Duo performance so you get an idea of what to expect when running an Intel P965 Express based motherboard. With Intel phasing out IDE, Biostar address the lack of native IDE channels by integrating a separate IDE controller onto the Tforce P965. Other integrated goodies on this full sized ATX board include Gigabit LAN,7.1 channel high definition Intel Azalia audio, a flurry of USB2.0 jacks, and expansion slots.

Zalman Reserator 1 V2 Water Cooling System Review
3D Game Man posted a review on the Zalman Reserator 1 V2 Water Cooling System

There are many external water cooling kits on the market and most of them are easy to install, this one is no exception. What sets this water cooling system apart from many is that it's completely silent, unless you want the fan kit. The fan kit is recommended if you live in a hot environment or want lower temperature results. Watch the Video to find out more...

Logitech G3 Laser Mouse Review
MetkuMods posted a review on Logitech's G3 Laser Mouse

The optical sensors have slowly become more and more accurate but now a whole new level of accuracy has become available due to the laser technology. Instead of traditional led-based optical mice, there's a non visible laser beam in the mouse which - at least according to the manufacturers - should be more accurate than the led based technology.

Have you ever imagined hooking up a freezer to your computer to cool down your CPU? Well, OCZ is thinking about it for quite while now, and they are finally going to release their CPU Freezer – now called Cryo-Z – by the end of October. We had the chance to take a look on this impressive equipment, which promises to help people setting new overclocking records. Let’s see how it looks like.

The 24 hour iPod Battery: Fact or Fiction?
The TechZone looks at the 24 hour iPod Battery

It would be great if our iPods could play non-stop for 24 hours but is it really possible that such a battery exists? How does consumer usage affect the iPod battery life and can such a tiny design space truly accommodate the capacity specifications required to power an iPod for 24 hours?

Sapphire Radeon X1300 XT (Overclock Edition) Review
Elite Bastards take a look at a Radeon X1300 XT-based graphics board

As we've already mentioned, what we're looking at today is the Overclock Edition of Sapphire's Radeon X1300 XT, which comes with some pretty hefty differences from ATI's reference design for this part. The first major change is in the memory department - Out goes the 256MB of GDDR2, to be replaced with 256MB of GDDR3 in its wake. Then, as the product name suggests, we find ourselves with a hefty boost in clock speeds - Core clocks are increased from 500MHz on the standard X1300 XT up to 575MHz, and the 400MHz memory clock on the base SKU is thrown out the window (largely thanks to the use of GDDR3 ram), leaving up with modules clocked at a massive 695MHZ. While some boards can be labelled as 'overclocked' thanks to just a clock speed bump of 10MHz or so, Sapphire have really gone to town and pushed the specifications to the limit here, which really must be commended.

Mushkin HP-550 Enhanced Power Supply Review
ThinkComputers.org takes a look at the Mushkin HP-550 Enhanced Power Supply

We mainly know Mushkin for making memory not power supplies. We have seen many memory companies like OCZ and Corsair successfully jump into the power supply market. We will see if Mushkin can do the same. Today we will be taking a look at the HP-550 power supply. From what Mushkin tells me this is more of a budget power supply for the normal user. We will see how it stacks up against the Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W power supply.

Radeon X1300 XT GDDR3 duel - Sapphire vs. GeCube
HEXUS posted a review on the Radeon X1300 XT GDDR3 duel - Sapphire vs. GeCube

We thought we'd see what shifting the RV530Pro GPU down into the X1300 series does to that section of the graphics market. We've got our grubby mitts on a pair of X1300 XTs, one from GeCube, the other from Sapphire. We'll be squaring them up against a GeForce 7300 GT and 7300 GS.
