Gigabyte G-Power 2 Pro Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Gigabyte G-Power 2 Pro

Gigabyte recently announced its new G-Power 2 Pro CPU heatsink which adds additional airflow to the CPU Mosfets. This airflow helps to provide additional cooling for those Mosfets, making it easier for the motherboard to provide stable power for hungry CPUs. The G-Power 2 Pro has some nice features, including a very quiet 120mm fan.

Tech ARP updated their NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT Graphics Card review

The NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT is the lite version of the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS. Designed to succeed the GeForce 7600 GT, it not only offers better performance but also support for DirectX 10.

Zalman ZM-MCF2 Multi Fan Controller Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Zalman ZM-MCF2 Multi Fan Controller

After the initial OMG that's so cool! reaction, the novelty wears off pretty quickly after we had used it for a while it looks fantastic but any long term usability is destroyed by the fact *we simply couldnt read it!* It got extremely frustrating to continually have to contort myself every time I wanted to read it, as I had to have my eyes directly in front of it to make any sense of what was on screen.

For 35 I was all set to recommend it to everyone after seeing it at i31, but this fundamental problem makes it almost useless I ended up resenting to have to lean over and stretch my neck out / /yet again just to read it. So does not wanting to actually use it make money well spent? It can just sit there looking cool, which is fine if all you do is show off your PC to others, but not if you want to use it yourself.

It really, really kills me that Zalman just needs to sort this one major issue to make it a product absolutely worth purchasing, but until then its not worth the cardboard it comes in.

Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core QX 9650 Review
OCC has published a new review of the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core QX 9650

After completing all the benchmarks in the suite, I can only arrive to one conclusion, the Intel Core 2 quad-core QX9650 performs. To date it has produced the highest scores out of any processor I have used or reviewed. I like the fact that even overclocked and on air cooling, my CPU temperatures did not go above 49 degrees Celsius at 100% load and that's even with ambient room temperatures of 78 to 80 Fahrenheit or 23 to 26 degrees Celsius!

Thumb drives are a dime a dozen, so to help sell their 8GB DataTraveler II+, Kingston added a little software tool from the folks at Migo. Their software enables the user to carry their desktop to another computer and then back again. But, is this special functionality worth the premium?

Nanoxia Silent Case Fans Review
Tweaknews.net posted a review on the Nanoxia Silent Case Fans

All in all, despite the one DOA fan these fans performed very well. The noise levels were decent and the fan controllers provided with each unit was a nice touch. I have had four of these fans running in my main PC for almost a month now and I honestly couldn't be happier with a fan.
