Scythe Ninja Copper CPU Cooler Review
HardwareLogic posted a review on the Scythe Ninja Copper CPU Cooler

While the CPU Cooler trend of Bigger is Better has been debunked by such puny newcomers as the OCZ Vendetta, Scythe carries on it's tradition of mammoth sized coolers with the all copper release of it's popular Ninja line. Featuring an (almost) all copper construction and a breadth to challenge a sumo wrestler, can the Ninja's girth let it push it's way to the top or does the effective new HDT technology mean it's time for a diet? HardwareLogic's got the score to see who wins in the Cooler Battle of the Bulk.

Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4 Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4.

Currently, the high-end motherboards are fairly similar her in terms of performance and features. Unlike old motherboards where they differ from each other in terms of overclockability, amount of ports, bundles, and features. Current motherboards seem to be performing so close to each other that often motherboards with same chipsets will have performance less than 5% from each other. In order to differentiate themselves among other boards, motherboard manufactures are starting implement different approaches. Asus is probably the most ambitious with their motherboard bundle and avant-garde chipset cooling and designs. MSI, on the other hand, tries to stands out by incorporate Audigy onboard audio. Gigabyte is doing something slightly different than either Asus or MSI. They have decided to produce greener motherboard with their latest DES motherboard family. In fact, Gigabyte is commented to the “greener” products as many of their current line-up of products (graphic cards and motherboards) are designed to reduce power consumption.
