XFX HD 5750 Review
OCC has published a review on the XFX HD 5750

To overclock the XFX HD 5750, the ATI Catalyst Control Center will be used since the maximum stable overclock fell under the overall limit of 870MHz core and 1430MHz memory. The XFX HD 5750 overclocked roughly 20% extra on both the core and memory to a nice 845MHz and 1385MHz. Fan control is also possible now in the ATI Overdrive suite. Temperatures were in the low 30's at idle and low 60's at load. The R6 driver overclocked the 5750 without any major hiccups except that clock speed wasn't always properly reported. I used other software to verify that the overclock was where it was suppose to be and it was so this bug is only minor.

Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 1GB Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 1GB Video Card

1680 x 1050 users on the other hand should find this model a fantastic option, we're seeing above 30 FPS in our intensive games like Far Cry 2 with our settings at Very High. Future and more intensive games shouldn't have a problem at 1680 x 1050 with settings anywhere from Medium to Very High depending on how well the game is coded.

Really if you don't game above 1680 x 1050, the HD 5770 isn't the best option, with the HD 5750 offering us the number we need in games at max settings - the HD 5770 is going to offer only higher numbers, which won’t impact on your overall game experience that much. The HD 5770 isn't that much faster either that you could turn AA on in your games; performance would just be hit too much.

TechwareLabs alone has reviewed several of INWIN’s new cases which include, “Allure,” and have been very impressed with their design and function. Recently, INWIN has now sent us their “X-Fighter” case to review which initially looked a lot like the INWIN B2 case, but shortly after removing the case from the box, we were pleasantly surprised by the differences.

Coolermaster are known for their extravagant chassis. Their high end cases tend to be big, bold, and jam packed full of features; and today's specimen is no different. Called the Sniper, it features a fancy front panel with fan control, a tonne of connectors, sleek black finish and plentiful cooling. With lots of high end cases behind us, what will the XSR team make of this one?

AMD ATi Radeon HD 5700 Series Preview
eTeknix.com posted a review on the AMD ATi Radeon HD 5700 Series

With the recent release of the first fully DirectX 11 compatible graphics card, AMD have dealt a good first blow to nVidia, with the 5870 offering performance exceeding nVidias fastest single GPU card the GTX285 and the 5850 offering impressive performance for £100 less. However if history tells us anything it is that high end cards are not where most purchasers will be putting their hard earned cash and as a result the 5700 series will be far more critical to AMDs success in this latest generation of graphics cards, than the 5800 series. If this mid-range series of graphics card sell well then AMD will do very well the graphics hardware market, it really is that crucial.

Sapphire HD 5770 and 5750 Review
OCC has published a review on the Sapphire HD 5770 and 5750

If you dont have the cubic dollars it takes to play at the deep end of the pool, the Sapphire HD 5700 series of video cards will give you great gaming up to 1920x1200 at stock clock speeds and you can get additional performance with a little work. Overclocked performance at cool temperatures for a price that is sure to drop equals a deal that is hard to pass up. Both the Sapphire HD 5770 and HD 5750 fit this bill. As Bob Barker would say, "The Price is Right!"

Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro AMD Heatsink Review
PC Stats posted a review on the Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro AMD Heatsink

The Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Pro is just such heatsink: ideal for
mainstream CPUs that don't exceed 90W TDP.... so long as the fan speed stays at 2000RPM. Frostytech pushed the test scenario a little further than that of course. Arctic Cooling's Alpine 64 Pro is a mainstream extruded aluminum heatsink that features the companies signature suspended low noise fan. The design minimizes turbulence and the noise created by air moving over the edges of a traditional fan frame, by removing as much of the fan frame as possible.[/quote|

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 Video Card Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 Video Card

AMD has leap-frogged NVIDIA by launching the DirectX 11 compatible Radeon HD 5870 video card. Armed with 1600 shader cores, the 40nm Cypress GPU claims to push video game frame rates well-beyond what NVIDIA offers from their GeForce GTX 285 counterpart. While the list of DirectX 11 video games has just started to grow, with one of the first being a free Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) named Battle Forge. Perhaps ATI has created the perfect storm for their Radeon HD 5800-series by offering a price-competitive graphics card with several free games included or available. While NVIDIA toils away with CUDA and PhysX, ATI is busy delivering the next generation of hardware for the gaming community to enjoy. In this article, Benchmark Reviews compares the Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 video card, model 21161-00-50R, against a cross-section of modern graphics accelerators.

Active Media Products Penguin BLU Pen Drive Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Active Media Products Penguin BLU Pen Drive

Active Media Products sent us a surprise with the Executive I 2-in-1 Carbon Fiber Pen we took a look at last month. I have to admit I am not up to date on Linux or the many builds. The last time I sat down and tried to do anything with the operating system was a few nights before throwing my last LAN party where Linux was run on a few of the servers.

The Active Media Products Penguin BLU is quite an odd creature. On the surface it looks like a cute little USB drive that a fifth grader would be carrying around. Once installed the drive springs to life like an action movie. You can use the drive either as a standard run of the mill thumb drive or set your BIOS to boot from a USB device and be looking at a Linux desktop in under a minute.

Cooler Master Sentinel Mouse & Gaming Surfaces Review
DriverHeaven posted a review on the Cooler Master Sentinel Mouse & Gaming Surfaces

Gaming mice are arguably the most important accessory for gamers no matter what level they play at, therefore getting the right mouse is vital. There are various different types of mice on the market aimed at different areas of gaming - from MMO-RPGs to first person shooters - although many higher-end mice now have configurable profiles which allow them to be optimised for both.

Today we're going to look at the Cooler Master Storm Sentinel Laser Gaming Mouse which boasts up to 5600 DPI with customisable profiles allowing it to be tailored to your own preferences. It also has an attractive price tag which makes it affordable to casual gamers.

Eurocom M98NU XCaliber Gaming Notebook Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Eurocom M98NU XCaliber Gaming Notebook

Hard-core gamers are all about squeezing the best performance they can out of their rigs, while ensuring that the visual quality of the games they play are at the highest settings possible. As desktop PCs typically have access to higher-end components than notebooks--and are also far more configurable, upgradable, and tweakable--the vast majority of gamers opt for desktop systems. But with the increased performance potential of today's notebook components and their portability (LAN party anyone?), high-end gaming notebooks are becoming increasingly popular with the gaming crowd.

That said, you still won't see the same performance potential from a gaming notebook over a gaming desktop; and you'll typically pay more for the same level of performance from a notebook. Take for example the Eurocom M98NU XCaliber gaming notebook. Not counting the just-launched Intel Core i7 Mobile processor family, the M98NU XCaliber uses the speediest mobile CPU available (the 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300) and a pair of the fastest mobile GPUs (the Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M in SLI mode). The M98NU XCaliber also comes with 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM, two hard drives (one of which is an SSD), a Blu-ray drive, an 18.4-inch display, an integrated webcam, a biometric fingerprint reader, Bluetooth, and a 7-in-1 card reader. With such a fully-loaded system, its lofty $5,720 price tag is somewhat understandable.

I'm guessing most PC enthusiasts will be familiar with the company Sapphire and in particular their graphics cards which are highly respected in the market place. However, I doubt many users are very accustomed to Sapphire's PSU range or even knew they manufactured power supplies at all.

If this applies to you then this review will broaden your horizons and introduce you to the Sapphire Pure series -- in particular the 950W model. With a modularized design and support for not only ATI FirePRO graphics but also nVidia SLI support, the features make for good reading but how will it perform? Let's take a look...

Overall, this is one great mouse pad. Looking back I remember being impressed from the moment it was out of the box till it got on my desk. The artwork on the pad is superb and separates it from the rest of the plain mouse pads out there. Best of all, not only does it look good but it performs as good as it looks. I have absolutely no gripes with this mouse pad whatsoever and it would probably take me an eternity to even find something.

Cooler Master has been on a tear with their popular and acclaimed Storm Series cases, and while their budget-oriented cases haven't garnered as much attention, there is a very large number of users who may dream of owning a Storm Sniper, for example, but simply cannot afford one. So Cooler Master is also offering claims for style, function, and value in their entry-level lineup. And today we're looking at their Gladiator 600, a feature-laden mid-tower case that looks promising.
