PowerColor Radeon HD 6950 PCS++ Graphics Card Review
HardwareHeaven.com posted a review on the PowerColor Radeon HD 6950 PCS++ Graphics Card

One of the more impressive looking enhanced 6950s is the PowerColor PCS++ model and today we have one of those on our test bench. With an enhanced cooler and significantly increased specifications over the standard 6950 we will be putting it up against the GTX 570 and Radeon 6970 to see if it can compete with those, more expensive models.

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 Review
TestFreaks posted a review on the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910

There’s plenty of webcams out there, you can pick them up for under $30 and it seems everyone has one these days. I don’t know if that’s a good or a bad thing though. if you want a good webcam, one that you know is going to produce good results then you’ll pay for it and you’ll want to go to a reputable company for it. In comes Logitech, they’re well known by everyone I’m sure, and they’ve been making webcams for a long time so they know what they’re doing. Today for review I’ve got the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 that’s one of the best out there today, and that’s not just my opinion either. This camera features the ability to do 1080P, has Carl Zeiss optics and features dual microphones. Coming those with everything else and you’ve got the making of an excellent, high quality product that produces fantastic results.

Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz CL9 12 GB DDR3 Review
techPowerUp posted a review on the Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz CL9 12 GB DDR3 memory

Corsair has introduced their new line of memory called Vengeance. Available in high capacity kits up to 16 GB we got a hold of the triple-channel one with 4x 3 GB modules. That said we push the trio to the max and see if it comes back with a vengeance or fizzles into thin air quietly.

ThinkComputers.org posted MSI P67A-GD55 Intel P67 Motherboard Review

I’m sure you have been loaded with Intel Sandy Bridge news and reviews all this month. We posted our first Sandy Bridge review on the CyberPower Gamer Xtreme 4000 Intel P67 Sandy Bridge System, then the Intel Core i5-2500K LGA 1155 “Sandy Bridge” Processor, so check those our if you haven’t already. Today we are going to be taking a look at our first Sandy Bridge motherboard the P67A-GD55 from MSI. This is also our first MSI motherboard review so we are pretty excited.

Let’s take a look…

Corsair SP2500 2.1 232W Audio Speaker Kit Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the Corsair SP2500 2.1 232W Audio Speaker Kit

The Corsair Gaming Audio Series SP2500 high-power 2.1 PC speaker system is Corsair's first attempt at a desktop audio solution. Will their first attempt hit it out of the park or fall short and leave you wanting more? Corsair says this kit is perfect for not just for games, but for movies and music as well. Read on to see what the SP2500 is all about!

When the Corsair SP2500 2.1 PC speaker system showed up in the test lab we hooked it up and were shocked to hear our music. We were able to hear details in the audio that we weren't able to make out on our old speaker system. The satellite speakers on the SP2500 are amazing and the midrange audio is crystal clear. Most audiophiles talk about sound separation and having bass that overpowers vocals and we finally get what they were talking about. The Logitech Z-5300 system that we were running appears to have had greatly exaggerated bass and as a result we were actually missing out on the clarity of our audio tracks...

MSI CX623 Laptop Review – Core i5/Geforce 310?
Kitguru posted a review on the MSI CX623 Laptop

MSI have a wide range of laptops for the enthusiast user and today we are looking at the rather sexy multimedia based CX623, complete with Core i5 460m, LED screen and nVidia 310M.

In a perfect world, everyone would be equipped with a £3,000 laptop, but sadly in the real world, budgets are much tighter – especially with the state of the economy in 2011. The system today will appeal to a wide demographic as MSI are able to load the CX623 with performance hardware but hold the price at £619.99.

Noctua NHC-14 Review
XSReviews has reviewed the Noctua NHC-14 CPU Cooler.

Today we have a cooler from the award winning Noctua. The NH-C14 is a C-Type cooler meaning it takes up a lot less space above the CPU than the usual tower type coolers while also providing airflow over nearby motherboard components and RAM modules. Included are two of Noctua's NF-P14 FLX fans. It's an impressive package but can it live up to expectations? We'll soon find out.

Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti Golden Sample Video Card
TweakTown posted a review on the Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti Golden Sample Video Card

Another GTX 560 Ti arrives and in this case it's from Gainward. Like the other two we've looked at, it carries with it the two things we love; an overclock and a new cooler. This also won't be the last GTX 560 Ti we look at, because like the GTX 460 when it was released, companies are hitting the model hard and fast.

It's actually been a while since we've had a look at a Golden Sample model from Gainward, as over the recent months the "Goes Like Hell" editions have been showing up a lot, so it will be nice to have a look at the much loved Golden Sample series which has been around for as long as we can remember.

GeForce GTX 560 Ti Review Roundup - Galaxy, MSI and Palit Compared
PC Perspective posted a GeForce GTX 560 Ti Review Roundup

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti GPU was released to the world earlier this week and we have a handful of retail options in the lab to poke with the testing stick and see what turns up. With a card from Galaxy, MSI and Palit, we see how much performance gain you'll see with their stock overclocks as well as how high we can push the GPU with the improved coolers.

With three retail NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti offerings behind us, we know that picking one is going to be a difficult choice for some. Some users will really want the highest out-of-the-box overclocked settings and that would be where the Palit Sonic offering
falls. Others will want the coolest running card and the MSI Twin Frozr II design definitely takes the win there. Galaxy's card offers some great temperatures as well as a unique "spin" on the fan design with a fold-out feature that allows for easy cleaning.
