Patriot Memory XPorter Rage 16GB USB Flash Drive Review
Bigbruin.com has published a review on the Patriot Memory XPorter Rage 16GB USB Flash Drive

The Patriot Memory Xporter Rage 16GB USB flash drive is marketed with a focus on its high speed performance. The read speeds were definitely impressive, and it was capable of exceeding 30MB/s transfer rates. When it comes to writing, the drive can put up decent speeds, but during testing it never came close to the published specification of 25MB/s.

Arctic Cooling P531 Review
XSReviews posted a review on the Arctic Cooling P531

In the world of PCs, everyone and their dog has heard of Arctic Cooling, a hardware company that specialises in PC cooling hardware.

The P531 is one of the few peripherals that Arctic sell that doesn't have anything to do with heat sinks or fans. Being one of the few headsets that they've produced, let's see if this is a diamond in the rough, or a dime a dozen.

ASUS VG236H 3D-Vision Monitor Set Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the ASUS VG236H 3D-Vision Monitor Set

We live in a three-dimensional world, and yet we settle for a 2D virtual world while sitting in front of computers. The price of 3D-capable monitors isn't affordable for budget buyers, just like LCD monitors weren't value priced when they began showing up on shelf space beside CRT monitors, and yet they eventually became the industry standard. ASUS knows a thing or two about the computer hardware industry, and the ASUS VG236H 120Hz widescreen LCD monitor with bundled NVIDIA 3D-Vision kit could help take 3D mainstream. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology feature using stereoscopic 3D effects on this 23.6 inch monitor in single-unit and triple-display 3D-Vision Surround configurations.

OCZ Enyo 64gb USB 3.0 Portable Solid State Drive Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the OCZ Enyo 64gb USB 3.0 Portable Solid State Drive

External storage is a big business, look around and you’ll see all sorts of flash drives and portable hard drives for sale. People use them for everything from backups to transferring files to media uses and they all work well, but people want faster and that’s where the product I have for review today comes in. You could call it a flash drive, or a portable hard drive, but it’s actually an SSD with a USB 3.0 interface called the Enyo and it’s from OCZ Technology. The Enyo I received for review is a 64gb in size and it comes housed in an anodized aluminum casing and it’s fast, very fast. I’ve put it up against other USB 3.0 hard drives and flash drives in many tests, and if you want speed then this is what you want.

Thermalright HR-02 Passive Heatsink Review
PureOverclock posted a review of the Thermalright HR-02 Passive CPU Heatsink

The Thermalright HR-02 is a passive CPU cooler, and we're not going to baby it today. Not only are we going to strap it without a fan onto a Core i7 monster, we're also going to run it head-to-head against two of the best heatsinks we've seen on the market, the Noctua D14 and Prolimatech Megahalems to find out which one is the best passive heatsink out there.

NZXT Sentry LXE Fan Controller Review
OCC has published a review on the NZXT Sentry LXE Fan Controller

Good looks and great concepts however, can't make up a whole product. I had several slight issues with the core components, mostly relating to usability. The main problem with the controller is the responsiveness and rubber feet issue. The screen is not as responsive as it should be and when you press a little harder to make up for it, the controller gets pushed around and can even tip over. Another inopportune design choice was with the placement and size of the on-screen buttons, only adding to the frustration from the responsiveness.

Puget Systems Serenity Silent PC Reviewed
Futurelooks checks out some super silent system goodness

Having built many a PC, I can honestly say it's pretty simple building a machine using stock or aftermarket components and parts. However, when noise is an issue, you have to start doing more in depth homework as there are plenty of noisy components these days. But there are very few components that can help cut down or eliminate noise all together. This is where companies that specialize in innovation related to silence can help. Today we get to see the results of Puget Systems' quest to build the quietest enthusiast based PC on the planet: The Serenity.

HardwareHeaven.com posted Gigabyte Aivia K8100 Gaming Keyboard Review

Today we have Gigabyte's latest gaming keyboard on our desk.

Powermat Home and Office Mat with Powercube
iGadget Life posted a review on the Powermat Home and Office Mat with Powercube

If you’re like most people out there then you’ve got several portable devices and having all of these things means cables and chargers floating around everywhere. I try and keep mine organized, I’ve got a drawer just for chargers and their cables, but they don’t always make it back there. Today for review I’ve got a product hat helps and hopes to alleviate the tangles mess of multiple wires and charges that we all have it’s the Powermat Home and Office Mat with Powercube. The device is a charging station for up to four devices and it uses induction charging or it’s wireless. The version I got for review is basically a starter package, it comes with a Powercube which is a receiver with a cable on it and several tips to charge many products on the market. You can use the Powermat branded batteries and cases for some devices with the Powermat, but you’ll have to buy them separately. What I have for review can charge two devices at the same time, one via a built-in USB port and one with the Powercube.

Galaxy GeForce GT 430 1GB Review - NVIDIA moves Fermi to HTPC
PC Perspective posted a review on the Galaxy GeForce GT 430 1GB video card

The new GeForce GT 430 GPU is a replacement for the GT 220 that was never quite card that we fell in love with. NVIDIA's Fermi-based GF108 chip is definitely a better performance than anything from the GT200 generation but can it keep up with the AMD Radeon HD 5570 and HD 5550 GPUs and make a case for itself?

The new Galaxy GeForce GT 430 1GB graphics card brings Fermi and the GF108 GPU to the desktop market after an earlier release in the mobile world. Easily the smallest GPU built around the same basic design as the GF100 part seen in the GTX 480, the GT 430 is solid gaming graphics card for the $79 market and offers a host of HTPC features including full 3D video support and bit-stream audio. The AMD Radeon HD 5570/5550 cards still put up quite a fight about 9 months after their release and as such the market is still going to be crowded with no single dominant selection being the obvious choice.
