HIS Radeon HD 5770 1GB and CrossFire performance review
Elite Bastards posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 5770 1GB and CrossFire performance

After covering the launch of AMD's mainstream DirectX 11 graphics boards last week via their new "Juniper" GPU core courtesy of a couple of cards from Sapphire, we already find ourselves ready and raring to revisit the Radeon HD 5770 thanks to a sample from HIS. Again, this board sports both AMD's reference cooling solution and clock speeds, so rather than simply repeating ourselves, how about taking a look at CrossFire performance while running two Radeon HD 5770 parts in tandem to make things a little more exciting?

Antec TruePower 750w Review
XSReviews reviewed the Antec TruePower 750w power supply

Antec have a great reputation when it comes to power supply units with their Signature range and new CPX form factor units earning a lot of praise and respect throughout the industry. The hardware giant now has numerous different ranges but today we'll be focusing on the TruePower units -- the 750W version in particular. We've seen great things from Antec before and so expectations are of another winning product. Let's see if it can live up to them.

Corsair TX950 950W PSU Review
JonnyGURU.com posted a review on the Corsair TX950 950W PSU

Corsair has built a name for themselves in the power supply market for offering solid, well built, and well performing units at a price very few people can resist. Today, they're looking to do more of the same in the TX950W, a 950 watt unit with one big bad 78 ampere 12V rail.

OCZ Z-Drive m84 PCI-Express SSD Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the OCZ Z-Drive m84 PCI-Express SSD

An interesting thing about NAND Flash SSD technologies, beyond the fact that the market is flush with competitive product offerings, is that the technology itself is very flexible and adaptable to a number of different design approaches. Take for example a RAID 4-pack configuration with Intel's X25-M SSD or perhaps the omnipotent Fusion-io ioDrive. Granted, these are rather high-end, pricey setups, but you get the gist that solid state storage arena is just getting warmed up.

In a sort of hybrid version of Fusion-io's product and our RAID 4-pack array, OCZ Technology has introduced an almost fully integrated solution of their SATA-based SSD technology, along with a third party RAID controller, all wrapped up clean and tidy on a PCI Express X8 adapter card.

Dubbed the Z-Drive, we first got a look at this wild-eyed beast back in May. It wasn't quite ready for prime time back then and it re-emerged again in early September with specs that admittedly caused a pavlovian response of our salivary glands. Today, we get to satiate ourselves with a deep dive look at the new OCZ Z-Drive, in a tasty 256GB variant that drops in at an almost reasonable $899 price point that is on near cost parity with a standard mid-range SSD...

Driverheaven posted a review on the Ultra X4 1200W PSU

Recently Ultra released an entirely new series of power supply units, the X4. As the name suggests, the X4 series is the successor to the very successful X3 series. It is the 1200W version of the new X4 series unit which we are going to thoroughly test and review today, seeing how much of an improvement it is over an X3 series unit and how competitive it can be in today's very demanding technology market.

Ultra X4 600w and 1050w Power Supplies Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Ultra X4 600w and 1050w Power Supplies.

It was two years ago when we reviewed Ultra's then-new line of X3 power supplies, the 600, 800 and 1000 watt models. Not much has changed in power supply requirements since then, other than the obvious, an ever-increasing demand for more wattage! To accommodate the need for greater amounts of power, meet revamped cabling requirements and target the latest specifications for efficiency, Ultra has updated their X-series of power supplies and is releasing a new lineup of fourth generation models beginning with 400, 500, 600, 750, 850, 1050 and 1200 capacities. Dubbed the - you guessed it - X4, these latest power supply offerings from Ultra bear a striking similarity to their previous X3 generation PSUs.

Ultra X4 850 W Power Supply Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Ultra X4 850 W Power Supply

Ultra is a traditional power supply manufacturer and the first to come with the modular cabling system idea (which led the company to sue all manufacturers that launched power supplies with a modular cabling system, including Antec, Thermaltake, FSP, CWT, Seasonic and Corsair, just to name a few). Today they are launching a new series called X4 featuring a complete modular cabling system and single-rail design. Let's see if the 850 W model from this new series is a good buy. Power supplies from X4 series are manufactured by Andyson. The only other power supply from Andyson that we ever tested was BFG ES-800 (note that BFG uses other manufacturers besides Andyson).

AMD Athlon II X3 435 & Athlon II X2 240e Processor Review
OCC has published a review on the AMD Athlon II X3 435 & Athlon II X2 240e Processors

On the flip side, for well under $100 for a processor and the same for a decent, mid-range motherboard, you can have a perfect platform for that new family computer or home theater pc that you have been putting off for so long. While these new processors may not break any records, they, including specifically the energy efficient Athlon II X2 240e, will make designing and running your new system eco-friendly and easy on the wallet all around.

Seasonic S12D 850W Power Supply Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the Seasonic S12D 850W Power Supply

Seasonic has been around for a long time-since 1975. It is more well-known for its OEM line of power supply units, but it sells some models retail, as well. It touts the S12D 850W power supply unit as being certified 80PLUS Silver, proving that the unit is at least 85% efficient. Seasonic claims that the unit can achieve 90% efficiency! Add that with a five year warranty and a nearly silent fan and this is one unit worth seriously considering.
