HIS Radeon HD 5670 IceQ 512MB and ASUS EAH5670 1GB Video Card Review
Elite Bastards posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 5670 IceQ 512MB and ASUS EAH5670 1GB video card

While the board layout follows AMD's reference design completely, sporting no additional power connector but support for a CrossFire configuration via the usual multi-GPU connectors, ASUS have chosen to go down their own route when it comes to offering a cooling solution for the board. While the EAH5670's cooler can't quite be considered a single slot solution, it is a relatively low-profile one, which ASUS claims to be "dust-proof", thus elongating the board's lifespan by as much as 25%. While we can't really test those claims, the cooler's design should at least reduce the build-up of dust somewhat, which could be good news if your system tends to suffer from such "ailments".

2 TB Seagate Barracuda XT with 6 Gbps SATA 3.0 Review
Hardcoreware posted a review on the 2 TB Seagate Barracuda XT with 6 Gbps SATA 3.0

Check out our full review to find out of the XT really benefits from SATA 3.0 connectivity, and how it performs on standard 3 Gbps SATA 2.0 in comparison. We also put it up against the drive it has supplanted as Seagate's top-end desktop drive: The 1 TB Barracuda 7200.12. They are more similar than you would expect, so it makes for an interesting review.

Das Keyboard Model S Professional Review
TestFreaks posted a review on Das Keyboard Model S Professional

A little over a year ago I reviewed the Das keyboard Professional and I found it to be a keyboard that I liked quite a bit and a month or so ago they released a new version of it called the Das Keyboard Professional S. It's pretty much the same as the original, it's got the clicky keys for both audible and tactile feedback and the included USB ports on the side. The main difference though is that the Model S version now includes multi-media keys for quick access to volume, ply, pause, stop, forward and back. These new keys are accessed by using the FN or function key like you would on your laptop and they truly do add functionality and usability to the Das Keyboard. So continue on to learn more

Samsung P2350 23" LCD Monitor Review
HotHardware posted a review on the Samsung P2350 23" LCD Monitor

Samsung is the largest and one of the more popular consumer electronics companies in the world. Besides its hugely successful HDTV lineup, the company also makes some equally exciting LCD monitors. Samsung's offering of flat panel displays have proven to be stylish, dependable, and competitively priced. Generally, we've come to find that Samsung PC monitors deliver a healthy balance of performance and affordability though not on the bleeding-edge of technology but more targeted to the mainstream.

In addition to its own line of monitors, Samsung even manufactures a multitude of the actual LCD panels found inside the the products of its competitors.

Today we're taking a look at one of Samsung's most affordable displays. Just don't assume its nominal cost equates to inferior quality right from the start. The SyncMaster P2350 is a widescreen LCD monitor that features Samsung's Touch of Color (ToC) design, a piano black cabinet, a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio, 2 ms response time, and 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. This value oriented 23" monitor does not offer speakers or a ton of connectivity options, but its performance and low price tag promise to make it an enticing option for those who want the most bang for their buck. Keep reading as HotHardware takes a look at the P2350 to see if this screen has what it takes to be on your short list...

Kingston 128GB V+ Series SNV325-S2 SSD Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Kingston 128GB V+ Series SNV325-S2 SSD

Kingston announced the SSDNow V+ series of SSDs on August 10, 2009 and aimed the product at mainstream consumers who wanted to switch over from a hard drive to a solid-state drive. Legit Reviews did a review on the 256GB V+ series SSD last fall and found it to be using all Samsung components and was an overall solid performing mainstream drive. Kingston announced their second generation of V+ series SSDs yesterday and we have spent the past several weeks playing around with one of these new drives. What has Kingston done differently with their second generation of V+ series drives? Well, for starters they have moved over to a Toshiba controller with Toshiba MLC NAND Flash. The drive also features Windows 7 TRIM support right out of the box, is available in higher capacities and is said to be speedier overall with improved read/write speeds.

Asus Rampage II Extreme Review
OCC has published a review on the Asus Rampage II Extreme

Already knowing that I am limited by the stepping of my processor in its inability to hit 4GHz 24hr stable, I decided instead to opt for as quick and simple of an overclock as possible. I throttled the base clock to 180 and set the multiplier to 21 and left everything else on auto. The RIIE performed like a champ and set proper voltages throughout! That is completely amazing for someone looking to get into overclocking, since, as I showed before, you can just go in to the BIOS and see what settings the board is using to be stable and go on tweaking from there; what a great way for people to learn.

Thermaltake SpinQ VT CPU Cooler Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake SpinQ VT CPU Cooler

Nowadays CPU coolers come in every imaginable size and shape. While some still retain the same basic format, many now sport heatpipes and exotic coatings, even the processor OEM coolers. And some are just downright strange looking, like the Thermaltake SpinQ. The SpinQ VT is slightly different from the original SpinQ in that it tilts the cylinder vertical. The number and dimensions of the fins remain the same, as does the 80mm centrifugal fan, other than LED color. And despite Thermaltake's advertised spec that the fins are now copper as well, the SpinQ VT weighs in at almost 175g less than the SpinQ.
