Titan Twin Turbo TTC-SCS88TZ VGA cooler Review
Driver Heaven posted a review on the Titan Twin Turbo TTC-SCS88TZ VGA cooler

While graphics card chipset architecture and efficiency continues to advance, the continual increase of core frequencies and power consumption makes the development of third party GPU coolers a good investment for the discerning enthusiast. Until a couple of years ago these coolers where only sought after by overclockers who required lower temperatures in order to push their hardware to the limits, but today even the educated public are aware of the benefits. The mid range graphics card sector tends to have some relatively poor cooler design as well as small, noisy fan configurations so with this in mind today we will take a look at a very large VGA cooler by Titan, the Twin Turbo CSC88TZ. Despite its massive size and twin fan design, the Twin Turbo is designed for installation only on low to mid range VGA cards.

BFG GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB OCX edition Review
The Guru of 3D posted a review on the BFG GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB OCX edition

Today Guru3D will review a card from BFG, the GeForce 9800 GTX OCX model. Pretty much, BFG took the reference GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB and made sure the card you are purchasing will function at a very hefty default overclock, while maintaining your warranty. For example, the core is clocked at 756 MHz, the shader processors at 1890 MHz and the memory just over 2300 MHz. This card screams performance. Since BFG offer a life-time warranty in the US and 10 years in the rest of the world that is just a tremendous combo.

OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC 4GB Edition Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC 4GB Edition

Despite the fact that DDR3 has a slightly better performance and consumes less power compared to DDR2, it is still hard to recommend DDR3 unless you have a huge chunk of money to spend. For a far less price, one can purchase 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 instead of the more expensive 2GB (1X1GB) of DDR3. Not only is DDR3 so much more expensive compared to DDR2, in real-world, you would hardly see a major performance increase using DDR3. Of course, this could all change in the very near future as DDR3's price will drop with more motherboards on the pipeline supporting it and manufacturers ramping up the production. Until then, DDR2 is still a better choice to buy. That is why we are seeing many memory manufacturers still not giving up the DDR2 and releasing higher performance DDR2. A month or two ago, OCZ the released DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC 4GB Edition. This is one of the highest clock speed 4GB DDR2 that is available on the market. Today, join us as we put this memory to the test.
