Auras LPT-709 Wave Heatsink Review
Frosty Tech :: Saturday, January 12, 2008
“Looking for a light weight heatsink that’s compatible with both AMD and Intel processor platforms? The Auras LPT-709 heatsink is one such cooler, and it runs fairly quietly too. The LPT-709 comes with a 92mm PWM fan that scales in speed from 800-2400RPM with compatible motherboards. At its fastest speed the fan is moderately audible. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) compatible fans are noted by their 4-pin power connectors, and what PWM does is enable the BIOS to directly control fan speed so the PC keeps itself cool under load, yet decreases fan noise when it isn’t. ”

DV Hardware :: Saturday, January 12, 2008
Almost a half year ago I published a review of the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 power supply and today I’m taking a look at the 610W model. The Silencer 610 is less expensive and features a single powerful 49A +12V line, that’s 11A less than the +12V rail of the Silencer 750..

OCZ 2x1GB DDR3-1333 Gold Edition Memory Kit Review
Virtual Hideout :: Friday, January 11, 2008
“Since some users don’t need the lower latencies, higher latencies can afford them a bit more avid performance at lower price. A good case and point is the new OCZ DDR3-1333 Gold Edition 2GB Dual Channel Memory Kit. OCZ has obviously been paying attention to the market comments and has done something to help their fans that are looking to make the move to DDR3. It isn’t that there aren’t many DDR3 kits to choose from, it’s more that there aren’t a great deal of DDR3 boards circulating yet. And there hasn’t been a large enough performance boost from DDR3 boards that can draw people out to spend that pretty penny required to upgrade their motherboard and memory kit to tap in to their Core 2 Duo’s hidden potential.”

Thermalright HR-05 Review 
XS Reviews :: Tuesday, January 08, 2008
“While your CPU is underneath what looks like a chuck of metal scavenged from a battleship hull, your chipset is often left with either a simple extruded aluminium number or hidden with a spider chain of heatsinks and heatpipes.
If your motherboard has the former, and you’re looking for a bit more overclocking headroom, you’ll need to search for an upgrade. There are several solutions, but today I have Thermalright’s HR-05. Let see how it performs.”
Apack Zerotherm Nirvana 120 Heatsink Review
Frosty Tech :: Tuesday, January 08, 2008
“The Zerotherm Nirvana 120 heatsink is compatible with socket 775 Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad/Extreme and socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+ AMD Athlon64 processors. It ships with a manual fan speed controller that can bring sound levels down to whisper quiet, though we’d prefer to leave that aside and let the Nirvana 120 work at its best. You’ll see exactly what we mean by that a little later in this review. A 120mm fan is set within the body of the heatsink, and it spins at a speed of 700-2600RPM (as manually controlled). A pair of blue LEDs illuminate the translucent impeller blades.”

Hiper Type-M 880W Power Supply Review
Hardware Canucks :: Tuesday, January 08, 2008
Aside from being the highest wattage power supply I have tested to date, this is also the first Hiper power supply I have had the pleasure of reviewing. To tell you the truth, my expectations are quite high since this power supply is made by CWT which is the same company which built some of the better performing units we have seen in the last few months. Even though Hiper hit the ground running here in North America, finding stock of their products here in Canada is a lesson in futility but things do look a bit better for our friends south of the border.
Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L
Bjorn 3d :: Tuesday, January 08, 2008
To shed some light on a confusing situation Gigabyte has sent us one of their P31 motherboards for review. P31 hardware is targeted directly for the budget consumer and accordingly can be found for just under $80 in several flavors from various motherboard makers. Intel is not known for cheaply pricing their venerable chipsets, so P31 is unique in that it is a hybrid of the much acclaimed P35 and old stalwart 975X chipsets. For the technically inclined the P31 chipset is composed of the P35 northbridge MCH chip with the 975X’s ICH7 southbridge chip for an interesting combination of old and new. For reference 965 chipsets used ICH8 and P35 uses the ICH9 series of southbridge chips.
P35 has been a popular, if usually pricey choice until late as it has offered tangible performance benefits over the older 975X and 965P chipsets it has replaced, and today we shall discover if P31 can offer the same performance or even a possible performance improvement at a lower price! While there are more than a few motherboard manufacturers with P31 based offerings, these boards are not very common and more importantly all P31 boards do feature some strings attached which we will cover in detail later in the article.

Tweak Town :: Monday, January 07, 2008
“Intel still supports DDR2 quite readily, and even X38 and upcoming X48 motherboards will both have DDR3 and DDR2 memory controllers as options on select boards, so you still have the flexibility there depending on what board you get.
Today we are testing out another somewhat unknown company to us; while we have heard of PNY before, we haven’t seen them in the extreme memory range which they are pushing for today with the new PC2-9384 DDR2 memory kit we have been sent.”

Thermaltake Xaser VI Chassis
t-break :: Monday, January 07, 2008
I’m one of those people that needs a big and roomy chassis for my crossfire/raid/water-cooled setup. I also like my chassis to look nice and possibly not weigh a ton so if need be, I can carry it to a LAN party. Last and certainly not the least, my continuous desires to upgrade components warrant a chassis that can easily be accessed and worked with. Thermaltake scores nicely on all these points with their “Xaser VI” chassis- an upgraded version of the almost forgot Xaser III.
Minority Report Computing – A Stones throw away?
Xtreme Computing :: Monday, January 07, 2008
“Well were do we begin, you probably are reading this article thinking I am either totally mad or have completely lost the plot, but I have not and I intend to show you why. I was inspired when I saw Tom Cruise in the film Minority Report, using his hands in thin air to control on screen information and move and pull objects. It is been quite a while since that film and slowly the technology to make this happen is not far off, by this I mean we could end up seeing this in action by the end of 2008,”

Read on to see what they have in store for us!”
Corsair, Kingston, OCZ, Super Talent DDR3 1800MHz Memory Kits
Legit Reviews :: Monday, January 07, 2008
“When it comes to DDR3 a 2GB kit will set you back anywhere from $199 for a 1333MHz kit to over $500 for an 1800MHz kit. Obviously, DDR3 memory is still for early adapters and enthusiasts, but prices are expected to drop significantly as the year goes on. Intel is getting ready to release more chipsets that support DDR3 memory with the Intel X48 Express chipset and NVIDIA is rumored to support DDR3 for the first time with their nForce 790i SLI chipsets. With both of these chipsets soon becoming the main component of their flagship performance platforms, it will lead to improved DDR3 memory sales. So, before those chipsets come out Legit Reviews gathered together four 1800MHz DDR3 memory kits from the leading memory companies here in North America. Corsair, Kingston, OCZ and Super Talent are familiar names here on Legit Reviews for good reason – they all make great enthusiast memory…”
