Xigmatek Balder SD1283 HDT CPU Cooler Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Xigmatek Balder SD1283 HDT CPU Cooler

Xigmatek has been gracious enough to allow me to test quite a few of their coolers. All of the usual suspects cross my mind; the 1283’s, 1284’s and even the Thor’s Hammer. In between there have been many variations of each, except for the Hammer, mostly consisting in the beginning with a different fan. More recently, Xigmatek had gone the way of various Nickel plated coatings to enhance and refresh the coolers line. This time I am happy to say it isn’t either of those reasons that has me excited about this cooler.

This time around, it is a bit more in depth than the more obvious increase of the CFM of the fan, or adding coatings for both performance and oxidation factors, as well as making cleaning a bit easier in my opinion, of which this new CPU cooler does have both. It has also got a more appealing figure. Xigmatek has provided a uniquely shaped 1283 cooler that is appealing to me, as it is a change from the same old thing.

Spyder3Express Monitor Color Calibration Device Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Spyder3Express Monitor Color Calibration Device

Most people are very happy with their monitors and the colors they see, but then again most people use only one monitor. I've got a three monitor setup and I can see the differences between the colors of the monitors, taking a picture from one monitor to the other can reveal sometimes drastic color differences. It bothers me and I was looking into getting some sort of color calibration device, but luckily Datacolor sent me over their new Spyer3Express for review. The Spyder3Express will automatically adjust the colors of your monitor to what they should be, I was amazed at the difference before and after calibration, I knew something was funky, but the Spyder3Express fixed it for me quickly and easily.

AMD Athlon II X3 425, 435 Processors Review
iXBT Labs posted a review on the AMD Athlon II X3 425, 435 Processors

As we can see, Athlon II X2 250 can still compete with the E6300. So the rollout of new triple-core processors has consolidated AMD's positions in the market segment of below $100. But apparently this was not the only goal. Note the nearly identical results demonstrated by Athlon II X3 435 and Phenom II X3 710, the latter being more costly to manufacture.
