ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe Motherboard Review
Vortez posted a review on the ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe Motherboard

That drive to produce excellence no matter what the product has helped them to secure an enviable reputation as one of the PC world's top manufacturers. Even the HTPC market is in their sights with ASUS aiming squarely at the compact home cinema market with their brand new E35M1-I Deluxe. Using the ultra compact ITX form factor the board packs a truck load of current features like USB 3.0, SATA 6.0Gbps (courtesy of AMD's Hudson M1 chipset) and AMD's low power Zacate E350 dual core processor.

ASUS GTX 570 vs HD 6970: Two DirectCU Cards Head-to-head
InsideHW.com has compared ASUS Radeon HD6970 2 GB DirectCU II and ASUS GeForce GTX570 1280 MB DirectCU II graphics cards

It was some time ago that we first got the idea of making a comparative test of two cards that are in high demand among hardware enthusiasts. The chance arose when two almost identical cards got to our offices, courtesy of ASUS. Situations such as these, where you have the chance to compare graphics cards with entirely different GPUs under the same conditions, are rare to say in the least. Even if performance is comparable, cooling systems are usually not. Furthermore, every manufacturer has its own PCBs, layouts etc. However, this is one such situation, since ASUS provided us with cards from their DirectCU II series. We've already explained countless times how this series first got its name, so no need to repeat all the theory again. Suffice to say - an even-handed melee between Radeon HD 6970 and GeForce GTX 570. If this phrase is enough to get you going, you're the proper audience for such a showdown, so sit back and enjoy the following lines

ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional LGA 1155 Motherboard Review
PC Perspective posted a review on the ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional LGA 1155 Motherboard

ASRock is teaming up with Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel to bring back to life the Fatal1ty series of gamer-centric motherboards. Their latest creation is dubbed the P67 Professional and this particular LGA 1155-based motherboard pulls out all the stops in terms of quality components and enthusiast-level features. The use of premium gold caps, Japanese conductive polymer capacitors, and support for quad SLI and CrossfireX graphics configurations makes the P67 Professional a true head-turner for gamers.

Seagate Barracuda ST3500418AS 7200.12 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB Slim Hard Drive Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Seagate Barracuda ST3500418AS 7200.12 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB Slim Hard Drive

I’ve got another hard drive for review today; it’s another Seagate model 7200.12 but it’s a slim style drive, it’s only one inch thick. The drive runs quiet and cool and it’s a decent performer, it would be great for an HTPC, or anywhere a smaller drive is needed.

BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro C1 Review
XSReviews has a new review of the BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro C1 CPU cooler.

Harder, better, faster, stronger and: BIGGER. Today we're going to look at the BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro C1. It's the new flagship cooler from BeQuiet! so it has quite something to proof. To ensure this will happen BeQuiet! introduced this well over 1.5kg (that's 1550 gram alright) cooler together with it's smaller sibling, the Dark Rock Advanced C1.

Thermolab Trinity CPU Cooler Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Thermolab Trinity CPU Cooler

Today we look at one of the newest offerings from the folks at Thermolab called the Trinity. The Thermolab Trinity is designed for balanced performance, low noise and good compatibility. It’s a Heatpipe Direct Touch cooler sporting a 130mm fan, so it should do pretty well from the looks of things. Join us to see how the Trinity holds up against more than a dozen other CPU coolers on our Intel Core i7-930 test bench.

Overall, I am happy with the Thermolab Trinity CPU HSF. The cooler is a solid performer, easy to install, and coming in at the $55 mark, it is easy on the wallet. Thermolab is still new to some enthusiasts; Trinity is their 7th cooler for the enthusiast market, but they are doing well. The Trinity was within 4 degrees of the top coolers throughout most of the testing. Looking at just the air coolers at 4GHz, the Trinity comes in 3rd place, but is less expensive than the two coolers that beat it: the Zalman CNPS9900 Max and the Prolimatech Super Mega...

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W PSU Review
Vortez posted a review on the Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W PSU

The PSU is the backbone of any system, it delivers the necessary juice to all those high-quality components within the system. Horror stories always emerge about no-frills PSUs blowing and taking components with them. If you spend a lot of money on your system, don't skimp on the PSU. If anything, you want to invest in a reliable unit to power your system otherwise you could just regret it one day. Cooler Master have long been a stalwart in the division of PSUs. In fact Simon visited their test labs last year revealing how committed they are to the PSU cause. The PSU we are looking at today is not only from a reputable brand, but comes with 80 Plus Gold certification for efficiency and endorses the tranquillity of quiet operation whilst delivering a burly +12v rail, thus making it the ideal PSU for SLI or Crossfire.

Intel series 320 SSD Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Intel series 320 SSD

We review the Intel series 320 SSD. Armed with cheaper NAND flash memory this drive competes at the middle segment tagged with a decent price. But will it be enough to compete with the competition ?

A product that offers performance somewhere in-between SATA 2 based Indilinx and SandForce 1200 based products, but at a more attractive price, at least that is the theory.

The dynamic is interesting as the performance results today of the 320 series SSD will seem "so 2010", but it's an interesting concept as with cheaper memory, you can increase in volume size hence the review today is based on a dashing 300 GB SSD.

Mushkin Ridgeback 996991 PC3-16000 8GB Review
OCC has published a review on the Mushkin Ridgeback 996991 PC3-16000 8GB

So, right out of the box I ran this Ridgeback set of memory at 133Mhz (2133MHz) higher than the rated specification with the same timings. To reach higher speeds than 2133MHz I had to use a combination of timings, voltage and blcock tuning to reach the final clock speed of 2252MHz or 252MHz over the rated frequency. For voltage, I had to push 1.69v through the modules to get 2252MHz stable. Tightening the CAS latency any more than 9 at this level resulted in the computer not posting. To reach a CAS latency of 8 with sane voltages. I had to drop to the 1866 multiplier and increase the bclock so that I could run just over 1900MHz at 8-9-8-27. CAS 7 took another reduction in frequency to to around 1684MHz at 7-8-7-24. Even when the CPU multiplier was increased to run the CPU at a higher speed to increase overall bandwidth, I did not see a significant increase in memory bandwidth from 3.4GHz to 4.7-4.8GHz in SiSoft Sandra 2011's memory bandwidth test. In the end, a 12.5% increase in clock speed offers up performance improvements but are tempered by the fact that the CPU is overclocked at the same time.

Acer Iconia 6120 Dual-Screen Notebook PC Review
Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Acer Iconia 6120 Dual-Screen Notebook PC

We've seen little innovation in laptop design in the last few years. Most companies seem to think that using a brushed aluminum finish or adding Intel's latest mobile CPU is all they need to do to freshen a product line. Still, Acer's not the first company to introduce a laptop with dual screens; the short-lived Toshiba Libretto W100 comes to mind, and gScreen Corporation's Spacebook has been touted since 2009, although it's still not available at the time of this writing. The Acer Iconia 6120, though, is a computer you can buy right now. Its dual screens offer new capabilities but come with some drawbacks as well. Benchmark Reviews takes a look at this unique laptop to see if it's worth your consideration.

Xigmatek NRP-MC1002 1000 Watt Power Supply Review
TweakTown posted a review on the Xigmatek NRP-MC1002 1000 Watt Power Supply

Many of our readers may be unfamiliar with the Xigmatek brand. Xigmatek is a relatively new company that began by offering excellent thermal management products to enthusiasts. Xigmatek was launched as a branch of parent company 'Micro Technology' in 2005 and they quickly expanded to offer more solutions for the DIY market such as computer cases and power supplies. Xigmatek's company philosophy is simple; ICE. This stands for Impressive, Creative, and Essential.

The unit that we have on the test bench today is the Xigmatek NRP-MC1002 power supply. It is the latest in their NRP series of PSU's. NRP stands for No Rules Power. Sometimes having no rules can be a good thing, but other times it's best to abide by them. In this case it would be the ATX V2.3 standards.

GELID Rev. 2 Icy Vision GPU Cooler Review
Techgage posted a look at GELID's Rev. 2 Icy Vision graphics card cooler.

Of all the components we shove into our PCs, the hardest to keep cool is the graphics card. With current models easily able to reach 80°C or higher at full load, purchasing an after-market cooler can be tempting. GELID has just a single GPU cooler model, the Rev. 2 Icy Vision, so let's see how effective it is against our hot GTX 470.

Antec High Current Gamer 620W Power Supply Review
HardwareHeaven.com posted Antec High Current Gamer 620W Power Supply Review

Antec know that high end PSUs are not within the reach of everyone's budget though and so there are lower specification models in the family which have a more understated design with lower power rating and price. Today we have one of those models, the High Current Gamer 620w, attached to our test centre and will establish whether Antec have been able to maintain their high standards at the lower price point.

The L-900 V.REX F8 ("F8" means that the case supports eight fans) is the latest addition to 3R System's V.REX series of mid-tower cases. It is a basic entry-level case, with a very basic look and being the first model from this brand that we've reviewed that doesn't come with a plastic piece on its top panel featuring fans, fan controllers, and USB ports.
