OCZ Z Series 850W PSU Review
JonnyGURU.com posted a review on the Cooler Master OCZ Z Series 850W PSU

Since 80 Plus began their certification program to help us consumers find the most efficient power supplies out there, power supplies have sought to make the most of the program by making their units more and more efficient. Before too long, 80 Plus added new classification ratings to their program (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) to help distinguish between high efficiency units.

Of the four 80 Plus certification levels, Gold has been the hardest to pull off for power supply companies. Requiring efficiency levels of 87%-90%-87% efficiency between 20% of full power and full power operation, it is a difficult design endeavor indeed. Today OCZ becomes the first 80 Plus Gold unit to be tested at the site. Come on in, and we'll see what a Gold unit can do on the load tester. This should be interesting.

Gigabyte GTX 260 Super Overclock Review
HardwareLogic takes a look at the Gigabyte GTX 260 Super Overclock video card

It might seem silly to post a GTX 260 review this late in the game, and it would be if this were any other GTX 260. But what sets Gigabyte's latest iteration apart from the competition is an aggressive overclock that makes this the fastest-clocked GTX 260 in the galaxy. Just how fast is it? While Nvidia's reference design calls for a 576MHz core and 1998MHz memory, Gigabyte goosed the GPU to 680MHz and supercharged the memory to 2500MHz. That's enough to edge out EVGA's SSC Edition by 5MHz on the core and almost 200MHz on the memory, and leave most other GTX 260 barely visible in the rear view mirror.
