HEC Zephyr 650W Power Supply Review
PC Stats :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
The Zephyr line is HEC’s high end series of power supply. It has achieved both ATi CrossFire and nVIDIA SLI certification. That itself should tell you that HEC power supplies are pretty good. The Zephyr 650 model is HEC’s flagship power supply, and it comes in a cool dark chrome finish,. The HEC Zephyr 650 pumps out a maximum of 650W of power, and that is sufficient for most enthusiast-level PCs.

Techgage :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
CoolIT has followed up to their successful Freezone cooler with a more affordable solution called the Eliminator. It has the same technology under the hood, but does its cooling ability aide it in being worth the asking price?
Antec Earthwatts 500w PSU Review
Club Overclocker :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
How many times have we powered our computers on and thought about the power consumption? I have to admit that while I recycle and try to do my part for the environment that I sometimes forget about energy conservation. It may be because the job I have provides me with a house and pays my utilities, but someone has to pay the bill even if I don’t. The power supply that Antec sent over is concerned with the environment. It’s the first power supply that I’ve seen to be certified by 80plus. Can a energy conscience power supply meet the needs of my energy hungry computer?
Coolermaster HyperTX Socket 775 CPU cooler
RB Mods :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
With the new Core2Duo processors you might want to get some decent cooling with it. The stock coolers tend to be to loud and still lack in performance and thats why this new cpu cooler from Coolermaster might be a good choice for you. The HyperTX seems to be silent and well performing, therefore we decided to run it vs a Zalman CNPS9700 to see how big the difference actually is, or if there is any?
OCC Review Intel Core2 Q6600 CPU Review
Overclockers Club :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
“It’s that time of the year again. Your single or even dual core CPU is starting to feel the strain of multi-tasking, and you just need more power. That’s right, it’s time for that dreaded “U” word. Upgrade. For the average user, an upgrade comes every couple of years. But for those of us who are always straining to keep up with the bleeding edge of technology, those upgrades can usually be measured in weeks. If you are looking for a new processor, the decision ultimately comes down to either Intel or AMD. While the two companies have always been trading the performance crown back and forth, currently Intel has a very firm grasp of it. With the release of its Q6600 processor a couple weeks ago at CES 2007, Intel has tightened that grasp even further.”
Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard Review
XYZ Computing :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
The diNovo Edge is actually the third keyboard in the diNovo line. After the first one got so much attention Logitech decided to make some tweaks to it and address a few of the problems, like the poorly chosen mouse, and released a follow-up product. The diNovo Media Desktop Laser changed the color and bumped up the price by $50, but also upgraded to a MX Laser mouse and Bluetooth connectivity. The Edge is the first diNovo keyboard to be part of Logitech’s Advanced Peripherals line. These are high-end components whose goal is to match style with serious performance. This by itself does not tell us much about the keyboard, but we know that is has been promoted to the same category of items as Logitech’s acclaimed Z-10 speakers and MX Revolution mouse.

HW Upgrade :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
Introduced just this week, NVIDIA’s new 8800 GTS 320 MB lowers the price of DirectX 10 graphics to $300. With the only difference being half the amount of onboard memory, we compare the overclocked Gainward Bliss 8800 GTS 320 MB to other GeForce 8800 solutions and see how it adds up.
GIGABYTE 3D Rocket II CPU Cooler Review
Virtual Hideout :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
“CPU coolers come and CPU coolers go, but only a select few really leave an impression on us. The GIGABYTE 3D Rocket II is one of those big impression makers. The Dual Rocket Airflow Design Fan Duct provides better performance and a silent environment. The 3D Rocket II may not be the first to use 2 fans on a CPU cooling device, but it’s the first one that I know of that uses one of its fans to blow air down over the CPU and surrounding components. The cooler itself consists of 4 heatpipes, a copper base, and large aluminum fins, along with a Linear fan speed control that can mount in a free PCI bracket or upfront in a 3.5″ bay.”
SilverStone LC14MC HTPC Case Review
Think Computers :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
“When you are building a home theatre PC there are many things to consider when choosing a case. You want it to look appealing, it needs to have easy to access USB ports for easy file transfers, you want some type of LCD/VFD display, and maybe some controls on the font. Well the SilverStone LC14MCE has all of those features, plus an included IR receiver and officially licensed Windows Media Center remote. There really is not much more you could ask for. So let’s take a look…”
Thermaltake Mozart HTPC Case Review
The Tech Zone :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
What separates the Mozart from other HTPC cases is its ability to handle full size ATX motherboards and power supplies, while still being able to fit nicely on an audio/video rack. The Mozart measures 170 x 430 x 452 mm, with a two tone aluminum front panel that looks more like audio/video equipment than computer case. This AV feel is enhanced by the use of stylist gold-plated foot stands and view window for the optional Media Lab VFD display.

VIZO Armada RAM Cooler Review Posted 
Tech ARP :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
“For all the obsession with RAM heatspreaders, they are passive coolers that can only do so much. To truly cool the memory chips, you need an active cooler.
Today, we will be taking a look at one such cooler – the VIZO Armada. Armed with three 40mm fans, will this cooler significantly cool your memory modules? Let’s find out. “
Corsair Twin2X2048-6400 C3 2GB PC2-6400 Memory Kit Review
PC Stats :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
“In this review PCSTATS will be testing Corsair’s latest 240 pin DDR2-800 memory, the 2GB Twin2X2048-6400C3 kit. Like the Twin2X2048-6400C4 that we had the opportunity to test previously, this set of memory is compatible with Enhanced Performance Profiles. What sets the 6400C3 kit apart from the rest are its timings… and they are some of the lowest anywhere.”
ForeSight Systems Pertelian X2040
techPowerUp! :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
The Pertelian X2040 is a multi purpose display, which can display IM messages, media information, stock and Ebay items among other things. Its software is based on an ever growing number of plugins, allowing the user to add further functionality to this LCD. The device is very well constructed and the display is quite bright. We give the display a try and set up a few plugins, to evaluate how useful such a secondary display can be.
Zalman Reserator 2 Fanless Water Cooling Review
Techgage :: Sunday, February 18, 2007
Sporting a longer box design rather than the slender tower, the Reserator 2 provides far more surface area than its older brother. With Matt’s opinion of the first generation product in mind, we are now set to work with the second round of liquid cooling from Zalman. Can the new design improve on performance over the original product? Let’s take a closer look to find out.

How To Make P2P Programs to Work on Networks Using a Broadband Router
Hardware Secrets :: Thursday, February 15, 2007
“If you built your own network using a broadband router, the router will automatically prevent any P2P file sharing program (eMule, Shareaza, etc) from working correctly on your network: it will either get a “low ID” or will be shown as “firewalled”. As a consequence you will get lower transfer rates and also won’t be able to initiate file downloading from users that are also “firewalled”. In this tutorial we will teach you how to configure your router to correctly allow P2P file sharing programs to work.”
Mandriva Linux 2007.1 Beta 1
Phoronix :: Thursday, February 15, 2007
“Since the death of Mandrake we have only used Mandriva Linux once or twice a year, but with the first beta now out for 2007.1 we decided to give it another go. New in Mandriva Linux 2007.1 is GNOME 2.17, Firefox 2.0, and much more. There are some pretty nifty features found inside Mandriva Linux 2007.1 Beta 1, and it does look as if it will be a hopeful year for this distribution.”

Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP P965 Express Motherboard Review
PC Stats :: Thursday, February 15, 2007
“The latest feature Asus has begun integrating into its motherboards is wireless networking – WiFi. With 802.11b/g support onboard already, setting up a wireless network at home or in the office for notebooks, printers, or other devices is pretty convenient. An 802.11g WLAN system supports data transfer speeds up to 54Mbps, which is more than enough for web surfing, streaming video or audio over the internet, and even LAN gaming. Cross one more thing off the to-get checklist for your new computer…. There is a good level of device integration built into the Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP already, so the two PCI Express x16 slots (one operates at PCI Express x16, one at PCI Express x4) for dual videocards, one PCI Express x1 and three 32-bit PCI slots. “
Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 Champ1on Case
3dgameman :: Thursday, February 15, 2007
“If you’re looking for a thick aluminum mid-tower ATX case, than the Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZE1 Champ1on case might fit the bill. It is not for everyone though, since is has excess branding, cautionary warnings and instructions printed all over it. It comes with four external 5.25″ drive bays, one external 3.5″, and three internal 3.5″ drive bays. There are three fans; two 92mm fans at the front and one 120mm at the back. It also has a window and a hinged door on the left side. Unfortunately, all this comes at a very high price. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.”
Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad Thermal Interface Material
PC Apex :: Thursday, February 15, 2007
“This is my second go-round with a Coollaboratory product. I first became aware of them back in September 2005 when a forum member saw an eBay sale for their Liquid Metal thermal interface material (TIM). They were a brand new company and were happy to provide a sample to me for testing and you can see that review here. It was quite innovative and performed well; but because I was sure the mixture contained gallium I couldn’t recommend it because of the potential damage to aluminum components. Besides the danger to aluminum, the only other negative point I had was that application of the Liquid Metal was messy and difficult. Well, the smart guys at Coollaboratory came up with a solution for the application problem, Liquid Metal Pads.”
To 64…or not to 64
Missing Remote :: Thursday, February 15, 2007
So in the end, it really comes down to faith. Do you have faith that the developers will increase their attention to 64-bit? Just ask yourself, why would they? If everyone else is perfectly fine with the performance of 32-bit Vista, which I’m sure dominates the number of x64 installs…and time & time again companies are ignoring 64-bit drivers/programs, with little or no uproar…why would they invest the time & money into developing for it?
Antec 500W EarthWatts EA500 Power Supply Unit
Bjorn 3d :: Thursday, February 15, 2007
Since consumers have long been in the dark about power supply units, it seems common that manufacturers market their product and push features that may not actually make a difference in performance. For example, it could be seen early last year that multi-rail technology was viewed as a positive innovation. Yet later down the road we learn that a single-rail power supply unit not only offers more stable and efficient power if designed and built correctly; it would also cost less.
