Scythe Mugen 2 CPU Cooler Review
Tech-Reviews.co.uk posted a review on the Scythe Mugen 2 CPU Cooler

It seems when CPU coolers are designed these days appearance is the main concern for the designers. The one with the most lights or copper on display steals all the attention. What happened to the old days? Competition is your answer my friend. In the computing industry nowadays, there are many companies manufacturing OEM CPU coolers. Smaller companies are then buying these OEM's, shoving an LED fan or two on and rebranding them. And the sad thing is, is that we're buying them! One such company who is very against this is Scythe. Scythe design all their own CPU coolers, they're completely unique! Today we have a cooler for review from Scythe, the Mugen 2, alike many of Scythe's products, this one too is beefy but basic in bling, let's see how this bad boy performs.

ASUS Maximus III Formula: First look in pictures
Elite Bastards posted a first look at the ASUS Maximus III Formula motherboard

The Maximus Formula III is probably familiar to many of you in terms of both its overall design and aesthetic. One immediately noticeable facet of this particular board is the provision of three physical PCI Express 2.0 16x slots for multi-GPU configurations - It'll be interesting to see if NVIDIA SLI support is provided alongside AMD CrossFire support. It also appears that eight Serial ATA ports are provided, together with a single IDE channel - Two of these SATA ports appear to be running from a different controller, opening up the possibility of SATA-III support. Two PCI and two PCI Express 1x slots round out that aspect of the motherboard's configuration.
