Jetart VC2600 GPU Cooler Review
XS Reviews :: Wednesday, August 30, 2006
“Back again with another Jetart review? You’re damn right we are. This time it’s the VC2600 cooler which I have wedged firmly onto my x1900XT, whose cooler, up until a few hours ago, was screaming away and driving me insane. So, have Jetart come up with an awesomely silent and great cooling solution for the woeful x1900 owners out there? We shall see.”
Tt Kandalf Liquid Cooling Case Review
Overclocker Cafe :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
Having had the opportunity to work with several excellent cases, I have to say this one was by far, the most fun. Not only does the Thermaltake Kandalf LCS provide heaps of functionality, it also comes with a built in liquid cooling system and it’s a very well performing one at that. This solves the problem of where to put all those parts that are needed to keep your system running cool and quiet, while eliminating the mess of hoses running all over the room.
Powercolor X1650 Pro Review
Overclock 3d :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006

NVIDIA 1.0-8774 Display Drivers

Kingston HyperX KHX6400D2LLK2/2G DDR2 Review
PC Modding Malaysia :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
“Overall, the HyperX PC2-6400D2LLK2 2GB kit is a decent DDR2-800 kit. It is surely a performance DDR2 module which operates at 400MHz with 4-4-4-12 latencies. As far as overclocking goes, we have seen better kits. Maxing out at 500MHz, we believe this is the highest we have achieved on any HyperX DDR2 kit tested to date. Although we had to loosen to CL5, the higher memory frequency makes up for the higher latencies. When testing at rated speed and voltage, our system was not stable. We later found out that the modules wanted 2.1V instead of the rated 2.0V. Considering that most DDR2 motherboards support up to 2.3V, this may not be a big issue but we expected the modules to run flawlessly at 2.0V. If you plan to get a decent 2GB DDR2-800 kit for your rig, remember that Kingston has a HyperX kit that does 400MHz at CL4.”
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W Power Supply
3d Game Man :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
“If you are in the market for a fantastic power supply at a very reasonable price, then keep this product at the very top of your list. It performs very well, is stable, reliable, and comes with a super 3 year warranty. If you’re building a NVIDIA SLI or ATI CrossFire system, then this is a perfect option. And remember, if you need even more power for a quad video card setup, then PC Power and Cooling has 1000 watt models. Watch the Video to find out more…”
ICY DOCK MB722 5.25″ SATA Mobile Hard Drive Rack
PC Apex :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
“Once locked in place to the “Power On” position, the drive will spin up and the LCD will become active. The LCD has many functions (as stated in the Product Features/Specifications sections) that are easy to navigate. It displays real time drive temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, can be programmed to set off an alarm when a certain temperature is hit, and can even show how long the drive has been active (the current up time). It also displays the drive activity and the fan status.”

Gideon Tech :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
“We have a new external USB 2.0 hard disk drive enclosure from Enermax called the Glory. With prices on PATA hard drives dropping in price on a daily basis, there is no better time to set up an external drive. Whether it be to store backups of your important data or to just have extra room to store your MP3s, it’s a very cost effective solution to gaining more storage.”
Patriot PDC2G PC-4000 ELK 2GB Dual Channel Kit
Viper Lair :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
“Flaws are few, and they revolve around documentation. No information on the Vmem anywhere in literature, therefore we do not know what the voltage ratings are, where can we push this and how far while still being under warranty? That said, there is some great overclocking ability ( 250MHz @ 2.5-4-4-7), and looks very nice with the heatspreaders. Patriot once again is knocking on the “big boy’s” doors, by building 2GB Kits that are cost effective and overclock well.”

Techgage :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
Life isn’t certain but one thing you can be certain of in life is that your power is going to fail at one point or another. When that happens you can either be prepared with a UPS on your PC or you can go commando and be caught short.

AMD AM2 3500+ Vs. AMD 939 X2 3500+
Overclocker’s Club :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
“It’s that time again folks. That’s right, AMD has finally, after many setbacks, released their new socket type. Titled AM2, which uses 940 pins, AMD has used this as the opportunity to move up to newer, and cheaper, DDR2 memory. AMD has long been the underdog in the processor business, but in recent years, especially with their last release of processors, it has come out on top. Having a very strong lineup behind it, this left us with high expectations for this new line of processors.”

Scythe Kama Bay Review
Computing on Demand :: Tuesday, August 29, 2006
You have a new CPU Cooler in the box and you are installing it. You get everything installed properly and you are getting ready to see if that $30.00 you just spent on CPU cooling will help with the temperature issues you have been worried about lately. You start your rig up, get to doing some thangs, and realize you might have just wasted your money. But alas, computer go’er, your money has not been wasted, your airflow sucks. You already have a fan installed in the front and one in the back, but they are too loud and you don’t want to drill a hole in your case to mount a quiet 120mm fan… so what do you do? Scythe thinks they might have the solution. Enter the Scythe Kama Bay 5″ Bay system Cooler.

Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated Keyboard Review
Virtual Hideout :: Monday, August 28, 2006
“Saitek recently released the Eclipse II, the successor to the original Eclipse, and have added a few improvements over the original. While there’s no LCD, they’ve added multimedia controls, plus a dimmer to change lighting levels (instead of just preset brightness levels), and have also enabled the keyboard to glow either in blue, red, or purple. The Eclipse II seems to feature all the good that the original did, plus more – can it live up to the hype?”

SteelPad QcK Heavy Mouse Surface review
Cyberwizard Pit :: Monday, August 28, 2006
“Gaming equipment manufacturer SteelSeries are at it again, jumping from strength to strength with their new releases. The SteelPad QcK+ was definitely one of their best mousepads released to date, and SteelSeries had come up with a different variant of the mousepad, dubbed the SteelPad QcK Heavy. Boasting a thicker surface and larger area, is the SteelPad QcK Heavy just another QcK+ clone, or a separate mousepad on its own – and how does it live up against its predecessor? Find out more in today’s review by CyberwizardPit.Net.”
