YOYOTech XDNA 760 System Review
Kitguru posted a review on the YOYOTech XDNA 760 System

KitGuru’s often spend their time salivating over some of the finest prebuilt systems on the market from the likes of Cryo. They usually feature all the latest, greatest and most expensive tech and are finished off with a full water cooling system.

Such systems usually demand a price of £3000+ so are simply unobtainable to most users.

With this in mind we were excited when a very modestly-priced water-cooled system arrived at our offices from YOYOTech. The YOYOTech XDNA 760 features a water cooled Intel Core i5 760 CPU which is overclocked to a massive 4.2GHz along with nVidia’s latest GTX470 graphics card. £1,499 inc vat is the asking price, which should certainly appeal to a much wider audience.

OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB PCIE SSD Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB PCIE SSD

The second generation of the OCZ RevoDrive, dubbed the RevoDrive X2, arrived for testing and we were giddy with geek fueled excitement to see just how well it performed. Curious? I'll spoil the suspense now and sum it up in one word - WOW. See for the results for yourself in our in-depth review that includes real world benchmark tests!

OCZ has taken the already impressive RevoDrive and kicked it up to a whole new level with the RevoDrive X2. It simply rocks. It's hands-down the fastest SSD we have used and its elegant simplicity in use and installation makes it all the more appealing for users of all levels. The performance numbers put up by the OCZ RevoDrive X2 240GB PCIe SSD are insane and part of the reason it can reach such numbers is because of the PCI-E interface. A normal SATA II connection allows a theoretical bandwidth limit of 3Gbps or 375MB/s. The PCI Express interface is necessary to reach the potential of this beast...

Xigmatek Aegir SD128264 Cooler Review
Kitguru posted Xigmatek Aegir SD128264 Cooler Review

Many of you reading this will have overclocked a processor at one time or another â we all love added performance for no extra cost. For those who have yet to pop their OC cherry, then the first course of action is to get hold of a good cooler. This is important as overclocking generates extra heat, which in turn can cause instability and even in worst cases hardware failure.

Xigmatek have a good reputation for releasing high quality Direct Touch heat pipe coolers, such as with their popular HDT-S1283 heatsink. Xigmatek have recently released new D.L.H.D.T. (Double Layer with Heat Pipe Direct Touch) technology incorporated. The naming convention is broken down into component parts : 12CM sized fan, 8mm heat-pipes x 2, 6mm heat pipes x 4

OCZ RevoDrive X2 Review: Killer SSD Performance
HotHardware.com posted a review on the OCZ RevoDrive X2 SSD drive

When we looked at the first-gen RevoDrive back in August, the thin slab of Flash NAND memory and dual SandForce SSD controllers impressed us and served up performance well ahead of traditional SATA SSDs with a price premium in the 30% range (about $3.07 per GB) versus SATA SSDs. With the RevoDrive X2, OCZ is double-stacking their product now with four total SandForce 1200 series SSD controllers and double the number of NAND Flash for, you guessed it, up to twice the performance and capacity. The good news is pricing is actually still going the way of the consumer too. Journey on, you're going to have fun with this one...

Gigabyte Aivia K8100 Keyboard Review
t-break posted a review on the Gigabyte Aivia K8100 keyboard

The Aivia gaming keyboard marks Gigabyte’s first foray into this competitive market of high-end PC peripherals; a segment usually dominated by Razer and Logitech. That said, there’s always room for more, and competition will always work in the favor of the consumers at the end of the day.

Opening up the rather large box, I find the Aivia keyboard nestled within a lot of plastic, cardboard and foam protection. The extras include a silicone cover, an additional set of rubberized WASD keys along with a puller and a Drivers CD which contains the Ghost Macro Engine.

Last week we had the opportunity to visit AMD's Austin, Texas headquarters to preview their upcoming 'Brazos' development platform and actually got some hands-on testing with a Fusion APU system prior to its launch.
