APACK ZEROtherm Nirvana NV120 Premium

July 28th, 2008 by Kristofer

NEW CONTENT (Casing & Cooling) - APACK ZEROtherm Nirvana NV120 Premium

QUOTE: “Even though ZEROtherm doesn’t have a long history of enthusiast products, their quality has impressed me thus far. The Hurricane HC92 won an award in our Mega 9-way VGA cooler roundup back in April. And their latest product, the ZEN FZ 120 proved to be a great performer with the added benefit of costing less than enthusiast CPU coolers. Today we will be looking at ZEROtherm’s flagship cooler; the Nirvana NV120 Premium.

The Nirvana has a small price premium over the ZEN; around 10 Dollars here in the States. Newegg currently lists the ZEN with a 10 Dollar mail-in rebate which negates the price difference. It will be interesting to see if and how much better the Premium cooler performs compared to the newer ZEN 120 that we reviewed last month.”

CPU3D Review: Kingston HyperX DDR2 PC2-9200 2Gb kit

July 28th, 2008 by Kristofer

CPU3D Review: Kingston HyperX DDR2 PC2-9200 2Gb kit

While DDR3 seem to be the choice of the enthusiasts, there are still some who would swear and stick with DDR2. So, it’s only natural for manufacturers to produce higher speed DDR2 ram. Kingston’s HyperX DDR2 PC-9200 2Gb Kit are designed for the high-end enthusiast users. Rated at DDR2-1150, it can run at 575Mhz with low memory timings of 5-5-5-15.

” … Kingston HyperX DDR2 PC2-9200 2Gb Kits are a must for any overclocking enthusiast who’s still using DDR2 motherboards. It’s capable of running even higher, reaching 1200Mhz easily … “

Thecus N5200B Pro Network Attached Storage at Overclockers Online

July 28th, 2008 by Kristofer

Title: Thecus N5200B Pro Network Attached Storage at Overclockers Online
Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=1891
Quote: The Thecus N5200 Pro is no doubt, an awesome unit. It is flexible,
fairly easy to use, and it’s fast, oh let me tell you, it is fast. But, it
also is not without a few kinks. When it comes to hardware, Thecus knows a
thing or two and have assembled a cutting edge NAS powered by common
everyday off-the-shelf hardware tied together with a custom mini-ITX
motherboard, a combination resulting in unmatched performance.

I4U: Labyrinth Lite Edition for iPhone Review

July 28th, 2008 by Kristofer

I4U NEWS published a review of the Labyrinth Lite Edition for iPhone.

Quote from the review:
“Today we are looking at a great free application for the iPhone called Labyrinth Lite Edition. The lite version of the game has ten levels to play. The controls for the game are the star of the show and work very well.

To control the ball you tilt the iPhone in all directions. The controls are simply fantastic and are so accurate that you can place the ball with ease on the screen. The settings menu of the game has a spot for calibrating the game to the sensors in the iPhone. You set the iPhone on a flat surface, press calibrate, and you are done.”

ECS GeForce 8800GT 256MB @ Phoronix

July 28th, 2008 by Kristofer

Title: ECS GeForce 8800GT 256MB @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12662
Summary: “When AMD had unveiled the ATI Radeon HD 4850 and ATI Radeon HD 4870 last month, NVIDIA was left in an awkward position. The Radeon HD 4850 had sharply outperformed the (more expensive, at the time) GeForce 9800GTX, which led NVIDIA to immediately begin slashing prices and introducing a slightly faster GeForce 9800GTX+ that ramped up the memory and core frequencies. ATI’s flagship Radeon HD 4870 also had no problems competing with the more-expensive GeForce GTX 260 / 280. Many of NVIDIA’s partners as a result have slashed their prices on their earlier GeForce 8 and 9 products. One of the NVIDIA products that was previously considered a good budget graphics card was the GeForce 8800GT, but now how does it stand up against the latest from ATI and NVIDIA? In this article we are looking at the ECS GeForce 8800GT. What is particularly special about this card and some of the other newer models shipping the GeForce 8800GT GPU is a BIOS revision that should yield a performance increase.”

Cool IT Systems NV Reference SLI Cooler @ techPowerUp

Title:
Cool IT Systems NV Reference SLI Cooler

Link:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CoolIT/Dual_Drive_Bay_Cooler_NV_Reference

Brief:
The CoolIT Systems coolers are certainly a unique way to get into liquid cooling. They come pre-assembled and are maintenance free. We are taking a look at their dual card cooler for two GeForce 8800 GTXs, but CoolIT offers a very similar variant for the GTX 260/280 and for AMD cards as well.

Super Talent Pico-C 8gb 24K Gold USB Drive Review

July 28th, 2008 by Kristofer

USB Drives are an extremely popular means of transporting our data with us, be it files, movies of music, we have a need to take stuff with us and these products allow us a quick and portable means to do this. While most USB drives are fairly small, some are smaller than others, it’s almost as if some companies are trying to make the smallest possible USB drive. This is good for the consumer though as we take quite a bit of stuff with us everywhere we go as is, so smaller makes things more portable and easier to take with us.

Today for review I’ve got a bit of bling for you, we all like gold, no matter guy or girl, gold is something that signifies money, power and status in our society and has for many centuries, so how about a 24k gold plated USB drive? Super Talent has come out with a special version of their very popular Pico-C USB drive, this time they’ve gold plated it with 24 karat gold to add a bit of class and style to this already excellent and popular product. The Pico-C Gold is so small and looks so good that you could possibly wear it as a charm on a necklace or even a bracelet. Included with the Pico-C Gold is also a strong gold chain that can be used to attach the Pico-C to your keychain, phone or anywhere else you wish to. While the Pico-C does look good, looks aren’t everything as we know, so I’ve put the Pico-C up against a few other popular USB drives on the market today from ATP, OCZ and Super Talents own as well.

So continue on to learn more about this tiny UBS drive and see how it compares out others out there today…

Turtle Beach X3 Xbox 360 Headset @ Techgage

Title: Turtle Beach X3 Xbox 360 Headset @ Techgage

Link: http://techgage.com/article/turtle_beach_x3_xbox_360_headset/

Quote: Let’s face it… the headset included with the Xbox 360 leaves a lot to be desired, which is why third-party companies come along and release their own products that aim to blow it away. We are taking a look at one such headset today, in the form of the Turtle Beach X3, and answer the question of whether or not it’s worth its ~$90 price tag.

Digit-Life Review: Top Dual/Quad-Core CPUs: Enticing Heights

Excerpt:
“It was not difficult to come up with a topic for our today’s article, because many readers demanded this very analysis: comparison of top processors from Intel and AMD. Even though we state repeatedly that these products differ very much, and their comparison makes little sense, our readers still want to know the truth, no matter how bitter it is. Well, here you are.”
