Prolimatech Megahalems: A New Player in the Town
Bjorn3D takes a look at Prolimatech Megahalems

You probably have never heard of Prolimatech. It is an up and coming manufacturer founded in 2008. The company is based in Taiwan with a team of people who are specialized in designing “aerospace resource-saving technology and advanced heat conducting technology.” Their products include CPU cooler, VGA cooler, RAM cooler, and thermal compound.

Their first CPU cooler called the Megahalems is a tower style cooler aimed at computer enthusiasts like you and me. The name Megahalems rhymes with Intel latest processor's codename, Nahalem. I am not sure if this was done intentionally or is just coincidence as the cooler is designed to work with LGA 1366 as well as older LGA 775 processors

ASUS Radeon HD EAH4890 HTDI/1GD5 Video Card Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the ASUS Radeon HD EAH4890 HTDI/1GD5 Video Card

The ASUS EAH4890 HTDI/1GD5 has a Radeon HD 4890 GPU at the heart of the graphics card, but you couldn't tell by looking at it. The EAH4890 HTDI/1GD5 has been designed by ASUS and utilizes features like Super ML Caps, a six heat pipe cooling solution, and higher clock speeds to improve gaming performance. This is unlike any video card you might have bought a couple years ago.

Microsoft is using its World Wide Partner Conference to finally publicly unveil Office 2010, in the shape of its first public technical preview. We've been playing with it for a few days now, and it's clear that, while there are plenty of excellent new features, this is an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, release...

Nikon Coolpix L100 Mega Zoom Camera Review
HotHardware.com posted a review on the Nikon Coolpix L100 Mega Zoom Camera

Don't be fooled by the Nikon Coolpix L100's DSLR-like looks. Although the L100 looks like a serious camera that could compete with the functions of a DSLR, it's really a relatively simple point-and-shoot with a wide angle 15x zoom lens as well as image stabilization, a 3-inch LCD, and a high speed burst shooting mode of 13fps that surpasses that of many cameras.

The L100 is part of Nikon's Life series of digital cameras that are known for their simple and easy to use functions. As Nikon describes it, the Life series is "Powerfully capable-yet simple, at an entry-level price." Indeed, the L100 offers plenty of fully automatic controls for the user who wants to simply point and shoot. In fact, unlike a lot of mega zoom cameras on the market today, the L100 was designed for fully automatic use and doesn't offer many manual controls at all. Click the link below and check it out...

Enermax Twister Case Fans Review
OCModShop posted a review on the Enermax Twister Case Fans

There are numerous options out there for cooling your case. The last I checked everyone and their mother had a fan that was meant to optimize the effective cooling by having different blade shapes, or floating magnetic movement opposed to ball bearing movement. And then there are sizes... LOTS of sizes. Everyone's fan is better than anyone else's, and the world of cooling has been revolutionized by simply changing the shape of a plastic blade and punching a few holes here and there. Kind of makes you wonder what, if anything, is changed about such minor alterations.

The thing is, that as minor as these changes are to those who don't design fans for a living, simply changing the shape of the blades could easily add much more airflow, reducing the need for the blades to spin faster, thus creating a quieter PC for us all. That's what Enermax did. They got their brilliant monstrous brains together and came up with a fan that could keep our cases cold while providing much less noise in the mix. They called it the Twister, which I thought was a silly name for a fan. But you know, who cares if their naming skills suck? They designed one hell of a cool fan. Here are some details on it:

PNY Attache USB Thumb Drive Review
TheTechLounge posted a review on the PNY Attache USB Thumb Drive

Not every flash drive can be fast, or can be pretty, or can be sturdy, big, small, capacious, easy to find, and discreet. No, some are just a little ugly. PNY's Attache bears little of the elegance its name may be associated with, but it's safe to say it does have a few things going for it.

Patriot Memory TorqX 128GB SATA Solid State Drive Review
Futurelooks posted a review on the Patriot Memory TorqX 128GB SATA Solid State Drive

A little while ago, we had a great hands-on experience with the Kingston 128GB V-Series Solid State Drive; an entry level SSD that gave us a usable amount of storage and better than hard disk performance. Most importantly, it was affordable. Today we’ll be checking out something from the folks at Patriot Memory that takes the technology to another level. The new TorqX series is Patriot’s answer to the performance challenge. In this review you’re going to see why we’re dubbing this one a “torque monster”.

ANTEC Fusion Remote Black HTPC Enclosure Review
PCShopTalk posted a review on the ANTEC Fusion Remote Black HTPC Enclosure

On the frontal part, we can see the VFD display ( not LCD like ANTEC says in the specifications ), the place to install an optical drive, a Firewire port, 2 USB ports, the microphone and headphone jack, a HDD activity LED, a Reset button, the Power button and a special knob which is designed to access different functions when the IMON software is installed. On top right corner we can also see a nice ANTEC logo. On the bottom, we can also see 2 feet, that are very stylish made, to give the Media Center case a HI-FI look.

GEIL Ultra Series PC3-14400 6GB Memory Kit Review
TweakTown posted a review on the GEIL Ultra Series PC3-14400 6GB Memory Kit

PC3-14400 isn't a number we typically see. What we tend to find is most companies promote their higher end PC3-16000 kits or the more standard overclocked modules, the PC3-12800 ones. What PC3-14400 kits offer us over something like a PC3-12800 kit is a bit more performance and a small jump in price while not going to the extreme that PC3-16000 kits tend to carry.

Today we'll find out if it's worth spending an extra few dollars moving from PC3-12800 or if you're simply better off just splurging out big on a PC3-16000 kit which carries with it an extra 200MHz.

Xigmatek NRP-PC402 400W Review
OCC has published a new review on the Xigmatek NRP-PC402 400W

The Xigmatek NRP-PC402 power supply isn't going to appeal to the heavy gamer or overclocker, mainly due to the 400W rating, single 6-pin PCI-E connector, which severely limits the range of graphics card that can be used on this power supply, and the fact that some exhaust air is introduced back into the case. I am not a big fan of dual 4 pin molex to 6-pin PCI-E adapters used to supply power to a video card when 6 pin PCIe connections are not included as part of the cabling, even with that said I have no doubt it could power a single 8000 or 9000 series graphics card in a basic gaming system without any problems. I would have to class the Xigmatek NRP-PC402 400W power supply in the entry level class, but don't take that the wrong way as it certainly performed far in excess of any generic unit. As such, it may be better to look at this power supply as a computer enthusiast's entry level unit. All in all it's not a bad power supply, at a fair price, that would go nicely with a low end gaming or folding rig running a single 9600, an office/internet PC, or perhaps a Home Theatre/Media Centre PC. If you are in the market for a 400W power supply, then it's certainly worth your consideration. The DC voltage load regulation is excellent, efficiency still at basic 80 Plus levels, and noise/ripple, although a little higher than I would like to see, still not high enough to cause problems.

Inno3D GeForce GTX 295 Platinum Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the Inno3D GeForce GTX 295 Platinum

Inno3D, known for their lovely products, recently launched the GeForce GTX 295 Platinum Edition, a product that is both classy and feature rich when it comes to the bundled items. This however is revision two of the GeForce GTX 295. The first model was based on two PCBs (two cards) inside one package.

It was a very expensive product to make and with the current economy... well something needed to be done. NVIDIA went back to the drawing board and designed a single PCB capable of housing two GPUs.

Definitely worth a deeper look... well you are on Guru3D.com... we take it as deep as it can go.
