With home media computers finding their way into many people's living rooms a need for high-powered hardware in smaller form factors is on the rise. Sparkle has answered the call for more power in a smaller size with their low profile sized GTS 250 nVidia GPU graphics card.

ASUS GeForce ENGTX460 TOP 768MB Video Card Review
Legit Reviews posted ASUS GeForce ENGTX460 TOP 768MB Video Card Review

The ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/768MD5 video card is different from most NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 video cards as it uses a custom designed PCB and GPU cooler! It also comes factory overclocked for an extra performance boost that most GPUs don't have. ASUS says that the ENGTX460 Top has been sorted to ensure the card can operate flawlessly at above 700MHz and that is critical for those that want to be ensured their card can overclock well. See how it does in our review!

The ASUS GeForce GTX 460 768MB ENGTX460 TOP video card was found to be about 4% faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 768MB reference card. The video card features a mild 25MHz boost on the GPU core clock and the 20MHz memory overclock, so we knew it wouldn't run laps around the original design. This card has plenty of overclocking headroom left in it though and to be honest we were shocked to see that ASUS didn't launch this card with a higher pre-set factory overclock...

Thermaltake Frio CLP0564 CPU Cooler Review
Vortez.co.uk posted a review on the Thermaltake Frio CLP0564 CPU

Thermaltake has been a household name for over a decade, bringing us a range of hardware from cases and power supplies to smaller storage solutions, drive bays and accessories. One of their key departments has also been cooling solutions, as their name would imply, and their focus have span to both air and water coolers. They have produced some very interesting concepts in the past and it's always been good to see Thermaltake coming up with innovative designs to tackle the problem of heat, such as the SpinQ and the V1 AX. Although they may not have had the same success as other prolific manufacturers such as Noctua and Thermalright in recent times, Thermaltake hopes to change this with the Frio. The Frio is a standard tower cooler but as we are accustomed to see from Thermaltake, they introduce some innovative touches to differentiate their products from the vast array of coolers already on the market. More importantly, the cooler has been designed with overclocking in mind so we can expect to see some good results on our test bed.
