Enermax ECO 80+ 620W PSU Review
Driverheaven posted a review on the Enermax ECO 80+ 620W PSU

A few months ago we tested and reviewed the least powerful unit of their new entry-level series, the Eco 80+ 350W. Even though it was a little expensive for its class, it was a very high quality product with great overall performance. Today we will take a look at the most powerful product of the same entry-level series, the Eco 80+ 620W. This output is adequate for a modern gaming PC configuration with several hard disk drives. We will thoroughly examine the features and the performance of the most powerful Eco 80+ unit in this review.

Intel Core i5 750 Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed Intel Core i5 750 CPU

Code name for Core i5 is Lynnfield and it is made in 45nm manufacturing process. Core i5 does not support Hyper Threading, which means that Task Manager in Windows will show real number of cores present in CPU. Most users won’t notice any significant difference in performance levels compared to similar CPUs with Hyper Threading. Good news is that this CPU has integrated memory and PCIe controller, which will provide great performance levels…

Tuniq have stuck to the same unique design that can be accustomed to them but they have refined it to no end, while ensuring compatibility with most modern motherboards. Looking at other major players in the cooling segment, they will have some serious competition on their hands.

CoolAge Frozen Orb X120 Transform X120TF CPU Cooler Review
Verdis Reviews posted a review on the CoolAge Frozen Orb X120 Transform X120TF CPU Cooler

The CPU cooling market is dominated by the big names in the industry such as the Cooler Master's, Noctua's and Thermaltake's. These larger companies have a proven track record and consistently produce top quality cooling solutions. However, there are numerous other minnow companies out there that are producing top notch products without the high price tags demanded by the big names. Today, we take a look at the X120TF Frozen Orb CPU cooler from CoolAge. I, for one, must admit have only very recently come across this manufacturer so how will this cooler compare is the already very crowded CPU cooling marketplace? Let's find out.

MSI P55-GD80 LGA1156 Motherboard Review
Hardware Canucks posted a review of the new MSI P55-GD80 LGA1156 motherboard.

We all know MSI as the company that had so much potential but then faded a bit right as the X38 boards were released. However, they are back with a vengeance and are sporting one of the strongest P55 lineups of any manufacturer. Their flagship board is the P55-GD80 and its looking to take on some of the best the competition has to offer.

Luxa 2 M1-Pro Laptop Stand Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Luxa 2 M1-Pro Laptop Stand

Mac Books are becoming commonplace in many people's homes and jobs. Much of the Mac world, with the exception of the iPhone, has not seen a large support network for accessories for their desktops or notebooks. Fortunately, there has been a response to the lack of accessories and accessory companies for the Mac. Recently, I received a new product from a long familiar face in the computer industry, Thermaltake. Thermaltake has developed a line of accessories to cater to the growing needs of the Mac crowd, and has donned it with the name Luxa.The Luxa 2 M1-Pro is a Mac Book specific laptop stand to provide comfort during extended use. The Luxa 2 M1-Pro is an aluminum constructed support stand to incline the typing surface and elevate the screen for easy viewing. The underside of the Luxa 2 features a long heatsink to help dissipate some of the heat generated by the Mac Book, but the real focus is the increase in comfort associated with using the Luxa 2.

Vantec NexStar Universal Storage Adapter Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Vantec NexStar Universal Storage Adapter

As a computer service technician, I know for certainty that having the right tools for the job is essential to a speedy and profitable repair. Little gizmos like power supply testers and a digital multimeter can help to rule-out or diagnose problems in a fraction of the time. One problem I have always run into is testing hard drives, as you usually need another system to test them out in. This usually leads to a congested workbench, crammed with testing systems for IDE, SATA, and laptops for the smaller form factors. Today we take a look at a solution to this problem offered by Vantec, the NexStar Universal Storage Adapter.

DFI LANParty Jr. GF9400 T2RS mATX Motherboard Review
TweakTown posted a review on the DFI LANParty Jr. GF9400 T2RS mATX Motherboard

We recently had the fun of toying around with DFI’s LANParty Jr. GF9400 T2RS. This is an LGA 775 DDR2 board that has NVIDIA’s GF9400 IGP and MCP7A-U chipset (pretty much ION) right in the middle. While DFI may boast some of the most overclockable boards, how will this work on the NVIDIA chipset, especially given its market point as an entry level and HTPC mainboard? - After all, how many people do you know that overclock their HTPC?

At 139.99 USD from Newegg, can the DFI LANParty Jr. GF9400 T2RS make a good SFF gaming board and break out of its intended HTPC/Entry level shell? Well, we aim to find that out today.

Ultra X4 1050W Power Supply Review
OCC has published a review on the Ultra X4 1050W Power Supply

On the whole the Ultra X4 1050W performed very well. The DC voltage load regulation was very good with little fluctuation from zero to full load. The noise/ripple levels although within the limits set down by the ATX12V V2.2 specification were a little higher than I would like especially on the 12V rail. The Ultra X4 1050W marginally failed to maintain the minimum level of efficiency of 80% as required by its 80 Plus certification giving 79% at 20% loading on 110VAC. The power factor dipped below 0.9 which is very unusual even on some mid range power supplies.

BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth Handsfree Kit Review
Benchmark Reviews takes a look at the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Bluetooth Handsfree Kit

Cell phone laws are rapidly becoming more and more restrictive. At the time of this writing, 36 states have some sort of cell phone restriction while using a motor vehicle. This up from 24 states just a year ago. The hands-free revolution is well under way. Some people even wear a bluetooth headset practically from the time they wake up in the morning. For those of us less fashionable than they are, handsfree kits are more our style. We are constantly looking for the best in quality, versatility, and function for our inevitable daily phone use. Enter the BlueAnt Supertooth 3 Handsfree Kit. Released last year, this device was an upgraded version of their hit Supertooth Light kit. Benchmark Reviews has tested the Supertooth 3 extensively over the past few weeks to see if it can meet the needs of the cell phone users, both casual and talkative.

Let's take a closer look.
