"It is nice to see that a heatsink manufacturer sticks behind their product. Performance heatsinks are usually a sizable expense and to have to purchase another heatsink just because you upgraded your system can be frustrating.

As I mentioned earlier in the review, Noctua does have an LGA1366 Mounting Kit and it is still available online or via Noctua, although it has been discontinued since the launch of the NM-I3.

If you do happen to own one of the listed Noctua heatsinks (listed in specifications) you would be doing yourself a great injustice if you didn't take advantage of Noctua's free offer. Performance cooling comes at a price. If you can extend the life of your heatsink and continue to benefit from that cooling performance without having to upgrade each time you build a new system, the price suddenly doesn't seem bad at all."

"Having a good gaming PC is more than just about having a good CPU, GPU or motherboard. Having the proper input peripherals is also key to your success on the gaming battlefield. With keyboards and mice seemingly becoming commodity products, with some prices in the single digit dollar amounts, this may not seem to be the case, but the increasing market for gaming-oriented peripherals has helped move along what otherwise would be a stagnant market.

Specifically, the market for gaming mice has had a two-fold effect: Besides pushing along the development of new feature, gaming mice have also kept alive the wired mouse. While many have switched to wireless mice, it seems that the gamer audience is not yet convinced. OCZ has been in the market for gamer-oriented peripherals for some time now, and one of their latest products, the Eclipse Double-Laser Gaming Mouse, promises to push the envelope even further. Can it deliver?"

"Today for review I've got the Vantec NexStar Universal Storage Adapter, it's a long name but it can do quite a bit. This product will allow you to access both SATA and IDE 2.5" and 3.5" drives along with 5.25" SATA and IDE Optical drives and even 66 types of memory cards, so it does live up to it's name of being a universal adapter."

"Today for review I've got another product from our friends over at NZXT, it's their new fan controller the Sentry 2. This isn't just any fan controller though, it features a touch screen and it only takes up one 5.25
" bay. Personally I like this product quite a bit, in my opinion it's the b
est fan controller on the market today. It's easy to use, it works well and i
t looks great."

"The ability to stay connected to the net whilst on the move is becoming more and more popular with netbooks being the latest must-have gadget. With more power and quicker speeds combined with a decrease in product size, the need for efficient and effective cooling is an ever-greater necessity. One way to supply extra cooling potential is through a notebook cooler; the marketplace has been hit with a wave of these coolers released left, right and centre and all claiming to offer effective cooling.

In reality though, many coolers just couldn't hack it in terms of raw performance and just weren't worth it. That said, added features such as USB hubs and such like have made some coolers a more tempting purchase. One such product that includes a hub to bolster its marketability is the Choiix Mini Air-Through Notebook Cooling Pad. Let's take a look."

"Last week Noctua announced the release of their brand new CPU cooler the NH-D14. In our hands today is that very heatsink. In the first english written review of this brand new release from Noctua we investigate how strong a performer it is when we put it up against some of the giants in the world of cooling."

"After launch of their high-end models, in form of Radeon 58XX series, we expected that ATI would release products that would fill mid and low range lineup as they did with previous generation. Except slightly “crippled” 5870 in form of 5850, we had chance to test two graphics cards from mid range: 5770 and 5750. Good news is that all 57XX graphics cards also support DX11 with Shader model 5, hardware tessellation and ATI Eyefinity technologies…"

"Djvu is a funny thing. At first you're not sure it's real; then you're absolutely convinced; finally, it fades and you're not sure anymore. The CM Storm Sniper, first shown to the public when Cooler Master launched the CM Storm brand in 2008, started out life with a full "Black Ops" paint job. Black on the outside, black on the inside and the first gaming case to feature three massive 200mm cooling fans, it was an instant hit. Somehow, the production version ended up without the black interior, but it was still a rousing success when Benchmark Reviews looked at it in January of this year. Its ten months later, coming up on the holiday season, and what better (and easier) way to kick it up a notch than to bring back the black: The CM Storm Sniper Black Edition SGC-6000-KKN1-GP."

"In this review I will test the first board made by ECS with the P55 chipset, LGA1156 socket and will compare the test results with the P55 boards I have tested in the past, but also with a X58 platform, to see how the performances differ and if the Hyperthreading feature on the I7 920 brings a big advantage over the I5 750."

"It's no secret that the Radeon HD 5870 is the fastest GPU on the planet, but what do you get when you take it, toss in a more robust cooler, quieter operation, higher clock speeds and not one, but two free games? You get the Vapor-X, from Sapphire. Despite all that it packs in above the reference version, it modestly carries just a $20 premium."

"The HD4890 iCooler x4 edition from HIS can be easily summed up as a performance bargain for US$179 at the time of this review. For those not interested in DX11 gaming and its related expensive videocards, the HD4890 is still a potent performer for the enthusiast gamer. The card tested today with its excellent heatpipe cooler and stellar overclocking performance should be considered over paying $50 more for a different name brand built off the same reference design."

"Well after this review I would have to say I'm kinda neutral on this case. It does have many great points that any one person might look into. Points such as 120mm/140mm radiator support, price, and a side panel window with LED fan. It also boasted good wire management and provides holes leading to the other side of the case. However, the one side panel does not kindly accommodate wires put behind the motherboard tray. This makes it hard to close and even causes a slight bulge on the panel so you might have to figure out some other way to run the wires behind your motherboard tray. The fact that one LED did not light up was probably a fluke defect but I thought it best mentioning that it had happened."

"No stranger to the ubiquitous pointing device, Logitech boasts an impressive 20+ year history building mice and computer peripherals. Having surpassed the one billion mouse mark back in 2008, they are the undisputed leader in electronic rodent computer peripherals. New for 2009, the Logitech Anywhere MX wireless mouse combines wireless connectivity with unique "Darkfield" tracking technology for a mouse that is said to be able to track on pure glass and other highly reflective surfaces. Designed to be a fully-featured portable workhorse, the Anywhere MX also brings a rather unique scroll wheel to the party. How well does it all work in the cold, cruel world? Come to our glossy new labs to see if the Anywhere MX can track straight and true."
