Thermalright Silver Arrow Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Thermalright Silver Arrow Heatsink

The Thermalright Silver Arrow is a dual tower, dual 140mm fan heatsink for performance and lower noise Intel / AMD processor cooling. It's constructed around four 8mm diameter sintered metal wick copper heatpipes and thin, multi-winglet nickel plated aluminum fins. The end result is +165mm tall and boxy for sure, but it's also a heatsink that can comfortably operate at scarcely a whisper or ramp up its twin 140mm PWM fans to tackle performance cooling situations.

Sunbeamtech Twister 120 Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted Sunbeamtech Twister 120 Heatsink Review

Sunbeamtech's Twister 120 heatsink is for all intents and purposes based on a standard OEM design we've seen many times before on Frostytech. Standing 154mm tall, the Twister heatsink weighs 631 grams and ships with two 120mm fans that operate at speeds of 2000-1000RPM. Generally speaking, two fans are better than one when the fans are running at very slow speeds. Both of the no-name red impeller 120mm fans are non-PWM, so a manual PCI bracket fan speed controller is included in the package.

Deepcool Ice Matrix 600 Review
OCC has published a review on the Deepcool Ice Matrix 600

Just as I found with the Ice Matrix 400, this heatsink doesn't have the mirror polished base that Deepcool advertises. A mirror polished base means that the CPU makes a slightly higher contact with the heatsink and has a little higher heat transfer rate. For socket 1366, Deepcool doesn't use a back plate, but rather a set of four stick-on plastic nuts. While this method works, it does make reusing these later a little troublesome since the adhesive will wear out after a few uses.

Penguin United Eagle Eye Converter 2.0
Benchmark Reviews checked out the Penguin United Eagle Eye Converter 2.0

For many years, there has been an ongoing fight between PC and Console gamers. One of the primary complaints of PC gamers has always been that fact the consoles have "inferior" controls lacking the precision of a keyboard and mouse. Penguin United's answer to this problem is the Eagle Eye Converter, which allows user to map their mouse and keyboard to a PS3 controller effectively allowing users to use a mouse and keyboard with any game in the PS3's library. In this review, Benchmark Reviews will see if the Eagle Eye Converter can quell the control complaints of hardcore PC gamers and help bring two separate communities together again.

Zowie EC1 Mouse Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on a gaming-grade mouse without configuration options as a simpler alternative to gamers

The typical gaming-grade mouse found on shelves can be dauting to those less inclined to face several buttons, a thousand configuration options and all the bells and whistles that are now market standards. Going against the flow, Zowie released a mouse with only three fixed tiers of resolution, just two extra buttons and no weight adjustment system or any configuration software. That is, it's a simple alternative to models that look like an airplane control panel. Was it a good bet from Zowie. Let's get to that after describing the physical characteristics of the peripheral.

Logitech K800 Keyboard Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Logitech K800 Keyboard

Our readers are used to our reviews of several gaming-oriented peripherals like headsets, mice and keyboards. Since life cannot be just fun and games (unfortunately), this time we faced a work-related device: Logitech's K800, a wireless keyboard that provides a fantastic typing experience due to its very comfortable keys. It was so great that the work itself didn't bother us that much. Let's talk about the physical characteristics of the keyboard and then describe its new features to see how the K800 fared in our test.

GlideTV Navigator HTPC Remote Review
Legit Reviews takes a look at the GlideTV Navigator HTPC Remote

The GlideTV connects your laptop, netbook, nettop, HTPC or Mac mini to the TV and allows for easy access your favorite movies, TV shows, music services or radio stations, it's all there at a click of a mouse. When the GlideTV Navigator was first launched back in October 2009 it could be found online for $150, which is a bit on the expensive side. Today the same device can be found for $49 from GlideTV and the software is mature!

If you own a HTPC you really should check out the GlideTV Navigator and the GlideTV software. In fact you can download and try out the software right here to see how it works for free. The software is nice, but the Navigator takes the HTPC experience up a notch and the price is right. At $49 the GlideTV Navigator is affordable and it works! If you have to pull out a wireless keyboard and mouse every time you go to watch a move you'll find that once you have a GlideTV you'll seldom need to use either of those as the Navigator is all you need...

Loop Thermosyphon Heatsink from Akasa Tested
FrostyTech checked out the Loop Thermosyphon Heatsink from Akasa

Akasa's Revo heatsink is known as a Loop Thermosyphon Cooler; it functions along the same lines as a heatpipe but relies on gravity instead of capillary forces to return its 'working fluid' back to the hot side. The working fluid is what conducts heat absorbed by the heatsink, from the processor to the heat exchanger, where forced air passing over cooling fins removes it to the surrounding environment. Unlike heatpipes which typically use water under a slight vacuum for working fluid, the Revo heatsink is slightly pressurized with a fluorocarbon called R134a.

Foxconn H67A-S H67 Sandy Bridge Motherboard Preview
eTeknix.com posted Foxconn H67A-S H67 Sandy Bridge Motherboard Preview

Foxconn have been out of the consumer channel market for quite some time now with their focus more on OEM markets for the likes of some big players out there. Whilst this has been going on, we have seen Intel move forward, ready for the launch of Sandy Bridge and the new socket 1155 processors.
Anybody who's anybody wants to get in on this action as it's a huge step in the right direction for consumers wanting the most for their money. Getting bang for buck means that the consumer wants to pay the least amount possible, and get the best performance possible at the same time. Now, how we all wish this was simple and easy, when it comes to the real world, it's not always possible. Intel's vision makes this possible with the upcoming technology being released nearer to CES
