Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard Review
Hardware Logic posted a review on the Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard

We recently reviewed (and loved) Logitech's G19 gaming keyboard, a high-end and high-priced peripheral option for gamers who want to ramp up their arsenal. This time around, we're going to be looking at a gaming option half the size and half the price - Logitech's G13 Advanced Gameboard. From the outside, this board looks tough and ready for action but are these looks deceiving?

Asus M4N72-E 750a Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Asus M4N72-E 750a

Asus comes at us again with another board for the AMD camp. We all know that Intel's Core i7 and the X58 platform is where it's at right now, but if you're a lowly guy like me you can't afford the toys for the big boys. Or, if you can, the wife doesn't want you spending that hard earned money for something to take your attention off her *wink*. Anyways, today we will be evaluating the Asus M4N72-E 750a Motherboard designed for the Phenom II CPU set. There has been controversy over whether or not to make the jump to DDR3 and I will be making a few comparisons to not only our different makers of chipsets but also to DDR3 and DDR2. Is it really worth it? You will just have to take a peek and see!

Xigmatek Cobra Cooler Review
DriverHeaven.net posted a review on the Xigmatek Cobra Cooler

Founded in 2005, Xigmatek have not been around for long but we have reviewed many of their products, including heatsinks and several PSUs. The heatsink market is certainly a crowded area to compete in, full of
different products with various design ethics and applications.

Today we're going to look at the Cobra cooler from Xigmatek, a promising looking unit which makes use of four heatpipes and direct touch technology.

Thermalright AXP-140 HTPC CPU Cooler Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Thermalright AXP-140 HTPC CPU Cooler

Thermalright is a name that has defined high end cooling for years. Focusing their efforts towards the HTPC, Thermalright looks to bring much needed cooling and silence to a niche that has only a few to choose from. Does the 900 gram AXP-140 have what it takes to keep your HTPC cool and quiet?

Kingston SSDNow M-Series 80GB SSD w/ Intel Firmware Update
TweakTown posted a review on the Kingston SSDNow M-Series 80GB SSD w/ Intel Firmware Update

We have been waiting on Intel’s firmware update for a few weeks now. At the same time we knew Kingston would have their first consumer solid state drive built with Intel technology on the way to us. Little did we know that the two would arrive within days of each other.

If you missed the news reports, Intel launched an updated firmware for their X25-M Series of solid state drives. The new firmware is supposed to address issues found when specific data patterns are used in benchmarks. At the same time Intel used the opportunity to rework their algorithms for a little more oomph, not that the X25-M really needed anymore.

Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB Hard Drive Review
I4U News published a review of the Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB Hard Drive.

One of the first things that many notebook users look at upgrading is the hard drive. Most of the notebooks on the market today come with small hard drives and the cost of having the computer manufacturer add a large drive is often much more than what you can put a larger drive in for yourself. Seagate has a new 500GB 7200rpm notebook hard drive called the Momentus 7200.4 that we will be looking at today. Read on for all of the details on the Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB HDD.

Evercool Rifling Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Evercool Rifling fan

The thought of an 80mm fan scares most. Stereotypically they're regarded as noisy, offer poor airflow and are a waste of space. However, when we suddenly mention 92mm or 120mm fans, our view on these fans becomes rather opposite. So, what about trying to squeeze a 92mm fan blade into a standard 80mm fitting fan? Well that's what cooling specialists Evercool have done. Introducing the Evercool Rifling fan.

Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet Review
Hardware Secrets posted a review on the Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet

Although many of us enjoy high tech devices, there are times when we still get pleasure from going back to traditional methodology. We may type on the keyboard all day, but still find comfort in writing or drawing with a pencil and paper. Old methodology, like pencil and paper, also can offer better control than a keyboard and mouse. The Wacom Bamboo pen-tablet brings the best of both worlds together. It marries the new and the old by attaching a pen-and-tablet interface to the computer. Yet while this tablet mimics pencil and paper, it is really very high tech.

Overclockers Online posted a review on the ZOWIE Gear P-RF Mouse Pad

ZOWIE Gear is a new face on the market of gaming and with their first product, the P-RF mousepad, they have left a very positive impression on me. The P-RF doesn't seem to move an inch under heavy gaming and is accurate in both games and graphic applications.

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Motherboard Review
Hi Tech Legion posted a review on the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Motherboard

I'm impressed with the performance I received from the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R. I started this review expecting a minimal overclock due to the motherboard itself and found that if it weren't for my heatsink I would have more room. Friends have told me horror stories of how different the BIOS were going to be, due to the addition of QPI, so I was a little worried about setting up the BIOS when I began to overclock. Personally, I found them simple - names might have changed, but when I realized what was what, it was like getting back on the bike you hadn't ridden for a long time.

HIS Radeon HD 4890 Turbo Graphics Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the HIS Radeon HD 4890 Turbo Graphics Card

Recently we saw ATI launch the HD 4890 and while it's not the fastest single GPU card on the market, it's not the most expensive either. Compared to the GTX 275 it has its ups and downs and while NVIDIA and ATI say the RRP on the two cards are the same, now that we've got stock of each on the market we're finding that the HD 4890 is coming in cheaper.

From the word go we've seen some companies offer overclocked models, almost from release date. One of those companies is HIS and today we'll be taking the time to see how their Turbo version of the card goes.

ASUS ENGTS250 DK Geforce GTS 250 Videocard Review
PC Stats posted ASUS ENGTS250 DK Geforce GTS 250 Videocard Review

Enter the Asus ENGTS250 DK (for Dark Knight) HTDI/512MD3/AR/A PCI Express 2.0 x16 videocard. ASUS's ENGTS250 DK videocard should draw less power and produce less heat than the Geforece 9800GTX+, and in this case makes use of a very nice and pretty quiet heatsink. It will be interesting to find out whether the Geforce GTS250 or Radeon HD 4850 offer the best value for the gaming enthusiast on a moderate budget. And just because we like you (thank you for reading our reviews!), we've nabbed a second Geforce GTS 250 from Asus so you can see how two of these bad-boys will perform in SLI mode.
