Sunbeam Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler Review
DreamWare Computers posted a review on the Sunbeam Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler

We're starting to see a lot of new CPU coolers emerging where the manufacturers are starting to experiment with designs that place the heatpipes directly on the CPU itself. Both tests that we've done here, as well as outside tests I've seen, have been proving this to be a great new design implementation. To look into another company's offering in this area we're taking a look at Sunbeam Tech's 'Core-Contact Freezer', their latest CPU cooler to hit the market.

PC Power & Cooling Silencer 500w Power Supply Review
OCIA.net has posted their review of the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 500w Power Supply.

Most people wouldn't expect a quad-core rig with Crossfire graphics cards to run well on 500W, but the Silencer is a testament to the fact that it can with a high quality power supply. Theoretically, at full load, this rig pulls about 400W, but very few power supplies rated below 600W could handle it. Indeed, on the topic of performance, the Silencer did a fine job, though I would have liked to see a slightly more accurate reading on the 5V line.

ASUS U6E 12.1" Notebook Review
Techgage posted a review of ASUS' latest small notebook, the ultra-stylish U6E.

Mobile computing doesn't have to be boring - the U6E from ASUS proves that. Within its 12-inch frame is some of the best styling around and very competent hardware, along with a full-sized keyboard, fingerprint reader and four USB ports. Does this small notebook win big time?

ATI Catalyst 8.6 Analysis - XP & Vista
TweakTown posted an ATI Catalyst 8.6 Analysis

We’ve been so busy with the new HD 4800 series of cards that I honestly thought I would never get the time to really look at what’s going on with the latest Catalyst release. With some good performance promises this time around, we’ll have to see how the new driver set goes on our mighty test bed.

From next month we might have to begin to mix it up once again with the inclusion of the HD 4800 series, but for now let’s see how the established HD 3800 series go.

CradlePoint MBR1000 Mobile Broadband Router Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the CradlePoint MBR1000 Mobile Broadband Router

EVDO is basically wireless internet access that can be accessed over a cellular network. Almost every cell phone provider offers EVDO service. What's great about it is that anywhere you get a cell signal you get internet access. No depending on a hotel's internet or a hotspot at a coffee shop for internet access anymore. I currently use an Express card from Sprint that allows me to connect to the service, but what if I'm on a trip with friends? Why should they have to pay $9.99 per day or more for internet when I already have access? That is where the CradlePoint MBR1000 comes in.

Hiper Osiris HTC-1K514-A1 Mid-Tower Computer Case Review
Benchmark Reviews has released a new article on the Hiper Osiris HTC-1K514-A1 Mid-Tower Computer Case

High Performance Group (Hiper) is best known for their self-designed power supply units, yet they have recently begun to compete in the computer chassis market. Their first foray into the arena was with the rock-solid Hiper Anubis Mid Tower ATX Case HTC-1K614, which could withstand brutal punishment while looking very stylish. Mere months later, Hiper has returned with the Osiris Mid-Tower 6063-T5 Alloy Computer Case HTC-1K514-A1. Named after the ancient Egyptian god of the overworld, this case comes equipped with many of the award-winning features found in the Anubis and adds a total of 20 new refinements.

A-DATA Plus-Series DDR2 800 2 x 2GB Review
OCC has published a new review on the A-DATA Plus-Series DDR2 800 2 x 2GB

I wanted to see how far I could push the memory within the modules' limits and still get good scores. The sweet spot for the overclock I reached was 1066MHz, and all I had to do was bump the voltage to the 2.1v maximum specification and loosen the timings to 5-5-5-12. This gave me a 266MHz overclock, which is a 33% bump. Now that is a great speed increase for a set of memory modules. Everything ran stable and I had no problems with the benchmarks or Memtest86+ with these setting, so that is where my overclocked numbers will be run.

NVIDIA 9800 GTX+ The plus means better!
Bjorn3D takes a look at NVIDIA 9800 GTX+

Exciting plot lines and ethically dubious marketing aside, we at Bjorn3D can't remember a time when the mid-range market was this exciting! Oh wait, it was 8-months ago when the 8800 GT showed up though without any real competition. Regardless of which side of the fence you are on it, is a great day for PC gaming everywhere. Not to mention the expansion of GPU computing into other areas like video transcoding and super-computing. Without further ado I present to you the newest card in NVIDIA's arsenal in the on-going battle for the mid-range market, the 9800 GTX+. The plus means better!

Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 power supply review
Elite Bastards posted Cooler Master Silent Pro M600 power supply review

One of the more innovative decisions taken by Cooler Master for their Silent Pro range of parts is the use of flat cables for all of the various modular power connectors provided with the board - This should hopefully make it far easier to route cables around your chassis, and more importantly to do so in a neat and tidy fashion and without overly restricting airflow to boot.

We've already mentioned the two PCI Express power connectors provided with this power supply, both of which can be used as either six or eight-pin cables. That aside, the PSU also features a total of five Molex connectors, a single floppy power connector, and nine Serial ATA power connectors.

Noctua NF-P12 120mm fan Review
Techconnect Magazine has posted a new article on Noctua's NF-P12 120mm fan.

Fortunately for everyone except maybe Noctuas competitors, the NF-P12 is the type of component that can at least prolong its makers success as it offers a solid balance between performance and overall noise output and has great versatility. As the tests concluded, the NF-P12 provides top performance at its maximum working speed of 1300 RPM (rotations per minute) and while some might want more air being pushed through the fans blades, those aiming to have a PC that is both quiet and cool will surely be pleased with Noctuas compromise.
