HIS Radeon X1650 XT IceQ iTurbo Graphics Card Review
HEXUS posted a review on the HIS Radeon X1650 XT IceQ iTurbo Graphics Card

Has worked its IceQ magic and released an overclocked version that increases both core and memory speeds by around 8% over and above the default's. IceQ cooling has the twin benefit of better-than reference cooling and lower noise output, thanks to its larger, slower-spinning fan.

Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laptop Mouse Review
APH Networks posted a review on the Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laptop Mouse

Being a laptop user for quite a while, I've found myself often overlooking the mouse. Human interface input devices are definitely one of my main concerns in terms of computing experience, and it's ironic how I haven't had anything worth mentioning for computers I carry around all the time. While Logitech's G5 has been an excellent solution for the desktop (Especially for palm mouse users like me), I found myself lugging around large, outdated optical mice where the wires often get into complex tangles with the AC adapters in my laptop bag. There must be a way out of this -- and often times, questions are asked in regards to "How practical a laptop mouse is" and "Are they comfortable" versus "Is their tracking performance and good" compared to full sized mice intended for your main computer (Assuming your desktop is your main computer, of course). Today we'll be looking at Logitech's still relatively new release -- the Logitech VX Revolution laptop mice -- to see how it performs, and how we like it. That's the little brother of the Logitech MX Revolution for desktops.

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Motherboard Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Motherboard

I cannot rave about the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 enough! Starting at $145 from online e-tailers, it is an overclockers dream! It is fast at default settings! But wait until you overclock it! Gigabyte has certainly unleashed a monster with this board! If you are in the market for a moderately priced overclocking monster, this is the one!

Antec Nine Hundred case review
bit-tech.net has posted a review on the Antec Nine Hundred case

In a bid to create a case that is chock full of cooling potential, Antec has forgotten to do anything else. There are far too many screws and fiddly bits to the case, with the bog-standard PCI expansion slots almost unforgivable in this day and age. Having to remove eight thumbscrews just to get a drive cage out is taking the mickey, especially when that doesn't actually remove the drive itself!

XFX GeForce 7900 GT 470M 256MB VIVO Review
Modders-Inc has posted a review on the XFX GeForce 7900 GT 470M 256MB VIVO

The XFX 7900 GT is a mid range card with a mid range price there are no down real sides to speak of. The card performs exceptionally well for its price range and it has outstanding overclocking abilities.

HIS X1650 Pro IceQ Turbo Review
HotHardware.com evaluates the features and performance of the HIS X1650 Pro IceQ Turbo

ATI's reference design specs the Radeon X1650 Pro's GPU speed at 600MHz, a full 100MHz faster than the X1600 Pro which runs at 500MHz. However, HIS took things a step further, and raised the GPU clock an additional 25MHz, to a default speed of 625MHz.

Apack Zerotherm CF800 Socket 775 Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Apack Zerotherm CF800 Socket 775 Heatsink

The Apack Zerotherm CF800 heatsink is a compact aluminum finned socket 775 cooler. It has been designed to operate quietly, with the ability to scale the speed of its translucent fan automatically and tackle heat loads as high as 130W. That makes this 357 gram lightweight heatsink an ideal candidate for socket 775 Intel Pentium D/Core 2 Duo processors. The CF800 heatsink has a thermally responsive fan that adjusts its speed between 800-2300RPM, blowing upwards of 42CFM over over 2300mm2 of cooling surface area.

Altec Lansing FX5051 5.1 Speaker System Review
XYZ Computing has a new article out on the Altec Lansing FX5051 5.1 Speaker System

A solid audio system can make a tremendous difference- it can turn gaming from just another boring shoot-em-up to a spine-rumbling, surround sound action fest. If you are not a gamer then you might enjoy improved sound quality for your digital music, surround sound movies, or the added bass of a subwoofer.

This time around we will be looking at the FX5051 surround sound 5.1 speaker system from Altec Lansing. The new system was just released in order to round out their lineup as a high-end system with speakers and a subwoofer. Despite its being at the top end of Altec Lansing's PC series the FX5051 is still relatively affordable (MSRP is $249) for a serious computer sound system. There is extremely tough competition in the audio market though and some very good systems are available for a lot less, so let's see how the FX5051 stacks up.

Three 7600GT budget Graphics Cards reviewed
MetkuMods takes a look on three 7600GT budget Graphics Cards

The accurate models of the cards in this review are MSI NX7600GT Diamond Plus, Palit 7600GT Sonic and Leadtek Winfast PX 7600GT TDH Extreme. It's pretty easy to say from the outlook of the cards which one is the factory-overclocked TDH version. Leadtek's cooler not only has the largest fan but also hides almost half of the card under it.

Ultra Products X-Connect 2 550W Power Supply Review
PC Apex has posted a review on the Ultra Products X-Connect 2 550W Power Supply

The improvement on the cables this time around was the switch to Flex Force cables. They are still UV reactive with each wire being independently coated. Since the cables consist of individually wraped wires, the cables themselves are thinner and are easy to fold-over, tuck behind, and even run under the motherboard. Even though this might not be appealing to everyone it still adds a WOW factor to laying out the wires in a system. This is a much needed improvement over the first gen cables that were kinda stiff and round which made it difficult to route them in tight spaces.

Thermalright Chill Factor Thermal Paste Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the Thermalright Chill Factor Thermal Paste

Their CPU coolers offer some of the lowest temperatures that air cooling can provide, but there are two things that Thermalright has not provided for their coolers until now... fans and some high quality thermal paste. The Chill Factor Thermal Paste is Thermalright's first venture into the premium thermal paste market, and based on their reputation and proven track record with everything else they have done, I have high expectations.

Logitech MX Revolution Wireless Laser Mouse Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the Logitech MX Revolution Wireless Laser Mouse

Logitech's MX Revolution is their newest flagship model featuring wireless connectivity and a swooping new design. A meek remodeling this is not. Bold lines carve sharp curves into this input device while a new technology promises to deliver "The World's Most Advanced Mouse," but we'll see about that. It does have lasers, of course, so that's a good start.

DFI LANParty 590 board Review
bit-tech.net put up a DFI LANParty 590 board review

DFI's LANParty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G is a superb motherboard that is aimed at experienced overclockers and enthusiasts looking to fine tune their system with what is possibly the most comprehensive BIOS we've used to date - even besting the incredible BIOS on the CFX3200- DR. It's a close call between this and the Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi Edition for the best AM2 motherboard we've reviewed to date, and the decision is going to come down to personal preference.
