ASUS Xonar Essence STX Review
InsideHW.com has reviewed ASUS Xonar Essence STX

During our visit to this year's CeBIT among other interesting products that we saw at ASUS' booth we noticed a section that was intended for "music fans". Star of that segment was ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card and specification was promising unprecedented signal-to-noise ratio. We encountered grandiose announcements before, when it comes to sound cards, so we reached for headphones with significant dose of doubts. Although conditions at exhibition hall weren't perfect and far from ideal, when it comes to music listening, reproduction quality was incredible and breathtaking so we eagerly waited for this sound card to arrive in our test lab.

Scythe Kama Angle Heatsink Review
FrostyTech posted a review on the Scythe Kama Angle Heatsink

In this review Frostytech is testing out a rather peculiar heatsink from Scythe called the Kama Angle. Traditional parallel fin-to-fan relationships are thrown out the window and what we're left with is a chevron-shaped aluminum fin tower with the fan set at 45 degrees to the leading edge.

Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU Cooler Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU cooler

Though the new Hyper N520 CPU Cooler is in all respects in the basis a heatpipe cooler like many others, it is unique. You'll spot a lot of aluminum convection fins mounted to no less than 5 6mm copper heatpipes. To top that off Cooler Master engineered the product with not one but two 92mm cooling fans in mind.

This way they could keep the CPU cooler design a little smaller, yet create a lot of airflow. The end result is pretty interesting looking and performing end product, though not the most silent model it cools quite well and is tagged with a very decent price.

Crossfire vs SLI Performance Comparison Review
OCC has published a new review on a Crossfire vs SLI Performance Comparison

When you look at the scaling in performance you get from going to a quad GPU setup, it is not going to be anywhere near 100% in most cases. There were a few instances where the scaling on the HD 4850x2 and HD 4870x2 scaled closed to 100% - which was a real surprise. This was the exception, and not the rule. In turn, there were games where there was no scaling whatsoever with cards in CrossFireX, while the SLI combo scaled well. That's something that could be a driver fix, to enable better CrossFire support in games. To use all this video horsepower, you will need a monitor that runs no less than a 1920x1200 resolution, as anything else means you are just throwing money away. The ideal solution is to go with that 30+ inch monitor you have been lusting over to take advantage of the firepower. Currently, Nvidia and its SLI technology is the performance winner here, on this system, with the drivers and video cards tested. The numbers are the numbers, and this is what they show. ATI has great price points, but they just can't deliver overpowering performance for that price. On the other hand, Nvidia delivers the performance but at a steeper price. The old adage "you have to pay to play" comes to mind here.
