The Ultimate CPU Round-up: Summer 2010
InsideHW.com has compared all CPUs available at the moment

Do you remember the times when CPUs were chosen based on whether you were assembling a gaming PC, in which case you'd opt for cheaper Celerons and Durons, or a heavy workload PC, in which case you'd buy the more expensive Pentiums and Athlons? It came to our mind on multiple occasions during this test. Those days of single-core CPUs, when Megahertz were the only relevant thing, and the difference between home and professional models consisted in the difference in the quantity of cache memory, only served to underline the problems that modern-day users are facing when assembling a new PC…

eVGA Classified SR-2 review with Quad SLI GTX 480 on LN2
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the eVGA Classified SR-2 with Quad SLI GTX 480 on LN2

We test and review the eVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard. The SR-2 is a dual-socket Intel 5520 chipset based server motherboard dressed up for hardware enthusiasts and pro-overclockers. We'll smack two six-core Xeon X5680 processors on there, four GeForce GTX 480 cards, we'll cool them all with Liquid Nitrogen, overclock it... and see if we can break some records.

We'll first cover a technical overview of the board and then we'll test a setup in three stages:

Air cooling
Liquid cooling
Liquid Nitrogen

In the end the processors are going to be cooled with liquid nitrogen, and for the sake of it we will pop in four GeForce GTX 480 graphics cards as well, these will also be cooled with liquid nitrogen. That's six Liquid Nitrogen pots on one motherboard... consuming 40 to 50 liters of liquid nitrogen with each hour of testing.

Cooler Master HAF 912 Case Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Cooler Master HAF 912 Case

Two years ago Cooler Master introduced a new full tower case called the HAF 932. The HAF combined rugged, industrial style looks with many of the same amenities as some of their high end cases like the Cosmos, but without the matching high price tag. The HAF became so popular that it spawned a whole new series, with later additions coming in a variety of sizes and colors. Today Cooler Master introduces the latest entry to the HAF lineup with their smallest model yet, the mid-tower HAF 912. Bearing a striking resemblance to the 922, the 912 is only marginally narrower and shorter in dimension, however it deviates from previous HAF models in other ways.

Turtle Beach Ear Force DSS Review
OCC has published a review on the Turtle Beach Ear Force DSS

I can't really recommend these for their purpose of simulated 5.1 or 7.1 audio, but enhancements to stereo listening plus USB power and Bass control still make it a useful device. You'll definitely get better results from your stereo headphones for stereo listening, but don't expect any magic from surround sound in games and movies. Though it still has some great features, the surround performance keeps it from being worth the $90 price tag.

Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus

Regardless of whether you love or hate the HAF series, since its first introduction in 2008 its remained a dominating force within the enthusiast/gaming market. First we had the 932 a full tower chassis, followed by the smaller 922, and just recently the X the big brother of the bunch. Today we see a new addition to the family, the HAF 912 Plus.

The 912 Plus is set to be the smallest of the series, but with High Air Flow (HAF) still a principal objective. The current cases within the HAF series are rather large enclosures so Cooler Master hope to equip those wanting a smaller setup, but with the same benefits of the HAF lineup. Excellent cooling, brilliant functionality and rugged military looks.

The Mobile Fan 12 is a 120mm fan with a built-in stand and fan speed controller that’s all powered by the USB port on your laptop or netbook, or even your desktop PC.
