Super Talent Project X PC3-16000 2GB Memory Kit Review
HardwareLogic posted a review on the Super Talent Project X PC3-16000 2GB Memory Kit

Flashy name with stylized logo, check. Big, intimidating heatsink, check. Killer ratings to back up claims of such, check. While Super Talent has all the makings for an enthusiast brand with its new Project X series, how well it performs in the field is what really matters for success. The rating of PC3-16000 makes it one of very first kits on the market to carry such a blazing fast frequency, but will this new high speed RAM have what it takes to stack up head to head with the competition?

Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity Stick Review
BIOS Magazine posted a review on the Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity Stick

Pinnacle's PCTV range offers excellent value for money for avid TV viewers who lead busy lifestyles. It enables you to watch and record TV on your PC instead of being a slave to the living room TV or the TV schedule, and the fact that you get everything in the box means you don't have to worry about optional extras. Video quality is excellent, and the added benefit of being able to trim videos and burn them onto DVD means you can watch recorded programs on the big screen once you get back to the comfort of your living room. We also loved that twin digital TV tuners, allowing you to watch one channel while recording another or record two different channels at once. There are few digital TV tuners on the market which offer such a complete package for such a reasonable price. Here's hoping you don't have as much trouble as us scanning for channels.

Mushkin Ascent DDR3-2000 Review
Bjorn3D posted a review on the Mushkin Ascent DDR3-2000.

I can't recall a time when technology moved as fast as RAM technology is moving today. It seems like just a few short months ago DDR3 had appeared and was grossly overpriced and rather underpowered. But in a short time the technology has advanced to such extreme levels that we are now beginning to see DDR3 be fiscally competitive with DDR2. But what about performance? Starting out at a rather meager DDR3-1333 we have seen what can only be referred to as exponential growth as today we are reviewing a kit designed to run at 2000MHz! You read that correct, RAM that is designed to run faster than some CPUs. Simply astonishing. The RAM is the Ascent DDR3-2000 and the company is Mushkin. Designed to run at extreme speeds and even more so when paired up with the 790i chipset from NVIDIA, the Ascent DDR3-2000 kit looks to take RAM to a whole new level.

ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution X48 ATX Motherboard Review
Bigbruin.com has posted a review on the ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution X48 ATX Motherboard

In the end the ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution X48 ATX motherboard wound up being just about what I had hoped it would be... A high end motherboard equally well suited for serving in a workstation and a gaming rig. With all of the performance features, its slick styling, and the ample bundle of accessories, it is almost like someone at ASUS paid close attention to their market research!

Scythe Ninja Copper heatsink Review
Bit-Tech published a review of the Scythe Ninja Copper heatsink.

The key problem for the Ninja Copper lies in the fact that we've already tested ultra low noise coolers like the Noctua NH U12P and ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme, and not only were they very quiet, but both performed brilliantly thermally. When you consider that the Ninja Copper is priced in the same region as these top performers, it becomes impossible to recommend as even a silent cooling solution.

The enormously frustrating mounting process for S775 and the fingerprint magnet copper surface are the final shuriken to the heart of the Ninja Copper. Scythe has left the Ninja's design fundamentally unchanged for over three years now, while its competitors have been releasing more and more advanced coolers, packing in more cooling fins and more efficient heat pipes - this is starting to show now.

While it might be silent, we simply cannot excuse the poor thermal performance and S775 mounting problems of the Ninja Copper, and at over £40, it represents very poor value for money compared to modern competition. Silent? Yes. Deadly? Definitely not.

CoolIT Systems nVIDIA 8800 Series Dual Drive Bay VGA Cooler Review
Futurelooks checks out something new from CoolIT Systems

Canadian Darling, CoolIT Systems has been kicking ass and taking names in the high end CPU cooler market with their excellent MTEC systems which combine watercooling and peltiers (TEC’s) into quiet and dependable cooling systems with high overclock potential. You would think that with big OEM wins with Shuttle and DELL under their belt, the Calgary, Alberta company would be happy just making CPU cooling solutions. Not a chance. After CPUs, their next stop is the VGA cooling market and today we get a chance to check out one of their Dual Drive Bay VGA Coolers for nVIDIA 8800 series GPU’s.

BFG 9600 GT OCX Video Card Review
I4U NEWS published a review of the BFG 9600 GT OCX Video Card.

Today we are checking out the BFG 9600 GT OCX. This is one of the best performing and highest overclocked 9600 GT video cards we have tested to date.

In the end the BFG 9600 GT OCX performed well, though it was out performed on a couple benchmarks ever so slightly by the Asus EN9600 GT Top. Some of the cards in this price range include nice game bundles, like the XFX 9600 GT Alpha Dog while the BFG 9600 GT OCX gets nothing additional.

MSI P45 Platinum Motherboard Review
TweakTown posted a review on the MSI P45 Platinum Motherboard

Today we have an early market sample of MSI’s P45 Platinum which is their top of the range board, this designed to compete with both ASUS’ and GIGABYTE’s ultra high-end P45 offerings. While it doesn’t have the full retail packaging included, we’ve confirmed with MSI that it’s the final revision board in our labs.

For our comparison today, we are pitting the MSI P45 Platinum against our oldest but most impressive P35 board we have, GIGABYTE’s P35 DQ6. Both are based on DDR2 memory which make these systems equally matched apart from the change in chipset.
