Linksys Powerline Network Kit Review
t-break posted a review on the Linksys Powerline Network Kit

Plug and Play. We\'ve heard that many times before but Linksys' Powerline Networking Kit really works by doing just that- plugging it in and start playing. Packaged neatly in a small blue box, this kit contains two units along with their stands and two Ethernet cables plus the quint-essential DVD and Quickstart guide.

OCZ Tri Channel 1600 Platinum Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the OCZ Tri Channel 1600 Platinum

With the onslaught of Intel's newest chipset and CPU's giving us users more memory bandwidth but also increasing the number of channels to the memory. Its only natural for memory manufacturers to follow suit with this newer standard. OCZ has been quiet on this front for some time, but not any more. We at Bjorn3D are going to be looking at a set of Tri Channel memory from OCZ technologies, the Platinum 1600 7-7-7-24 timings DDR3 Tri Channel memory.

LGA 1366 Heatsink Group Test
bit-tech published a LGA 1366 Heatsink Group Test

So given the option, which would we choose? Well, as always it comes down to the specifics of what you're after. If silence is golden to you, then we'd point you firmly in the direction of the Noctua NH-U12P. It's practically silent if you use the voltage step down adapters, yet packs excellent cooling into the bargain, although you do pay a premium for what is a deservingly premium product.

If you're after pure performance and lower temperatures, then the Thermalright Ultra eXtreme 120 is still the undisputed champion of air cooling. Knocking a full 5°C off the next closest competition, it's still a fantastic cooler, and even more attractive now you can pick up a kit including a LGA 1366 mount and bundled 120mm cooling for a little over £50. If you absolutely must get the absolute maximum cooling from your CPU then the TRUE is still the cooler to get.

But the best cooler on test is undoubtedly the Akasa Nero. Cool, quiet and most importantly reasonably priced, it's the only cooler we tested today that doesn't charge the earth for cooling LGA 1366, or any other recent CPU for that matter, very well indeed. It's easily one of the best value CPU coolers on the market today, and comes very highly recommended - If we were spending our own money, the Nero is the heatsink we'd get.

NOX Myth Case Review
Tech-Reviews.co.uk posted a review on the NOX Myth Case

NOX is a relatively new company that focus on mainly producing cases and PSUs. Today, we have one of their enclosures to put to the test but will it be able to compete with the big boys already on the market that are known to be top notch when it comes to cooling and performance. The case certainly looks the part with a unique front panel design and innovative features. Well there's only one way to find out how good it really is, let's begin.

Foxconn Quantum Force X58 BloodRage Motherboard Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Foxconn Quantum Force X58 BloodRage Motherboard

X58 based motherboards are popping up thick and fast. And why not? - Core i7 is Intel’s new cash cow and its performance is beyond anything that Core 2 could ever hope for. Thanks to the on-chip memory controller, Intel has finally abandoned the old FSB interface for this high-end CPU and move to a more data friendly bus between the Northbridge and the CPU. No longer are memory transactions between CPU and DRAM required to go across a limited bus.

So far we have tested most of the major companies X58 offerings. We have already seen GIGABYTE, MSI, ASUS and DFI strut their stuff and today we have another channel partner in the fray and that is Foxconn. Foxconn has really come a long way from just producing simple OEM boards; today they have their own enthusiast lines and we have their latest one in hand, the Quantum Force X58 BloodRage.

With more and more people driving places, it is important for you to know where you are going. Today, RTM takes a look at the Nexus attempt to get you from point A to point B in style. Will RTM get where he wants to go, or will he end up 200 miles away in Georgia at five in the morning, unaware of how he got that far?

Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 sound card

The combination of Creative chip and Auzentech PCB magic was been a success before with the likes of the X-Fi Prelude 7.1. That card fitted a normal PCI slot but today we have its successor which slots into the PCI-e instead. I give you the Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1; can this card carry on the success of its predecessor and even go further in terms of sound quality and performance? Time to find out.

Cooler Master ATCS 840 Full Tower Case Review
PCShopTalk posted a review on the Cooler Master ATCS 840 Full Tower Case

"The place where we install the power supply has ventilation holes in the body of the case, so the power supply sucks the cold air from the bottom of the case and then gets it out through the back of its body. This way, all the air that circulates into and out of the power supply is completely independent from the rest of the case.

HP Compaq 6730b Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed HP Compaq 6730b

It seems that difference between "B" and "S" series of HP notebooks was never more distinctive then in recent period at least when it comes to quilt quality. HP Compaq 6735s didn't impress us but HP 6730b is worthy to represent its famous manufacturer. Big difference between those two series can be noticed after first contact. Chassis of HP Compaq 6730b is very stiff and whole notebook looks like robust and reliable piece of hardware thanks to roll-cage that is reinforced by magnesium alloy.

ASUS Travelite HS-1000W Wireless Headset Review
TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS Travelite HS-1000W Wireless Headset

Hot on the trail of their very impressive new Xonar sound cards, ASUS have just sent me some wireless headphones. Up until this point I was not aware that ASUS were in the headphone business, but with so many users, particularly gamers, needing a personal audio solution and also taking into account the trend towards wireless devices, it makes sense to see an offering in this category by arguably one of the largest manufacturers in the game.

Offering an easily accessible retail price and a simple software-free installation, it will be interesting to see what ASUS have come up with in what will be my first ever headphones review for TweakTown.
