Cooler Master Hyper N620 LGA 1366 Ready CPU Cooler Review
|
Cooler Master has been around for over a decade. Though they are probably now better known for their excellent PC cases, their original primary products were coolers and they continue to build high performance air coolers along with all of their other products. Today I will be looking at the Cooler ...

This time we reviewed NT06-E cooler from SilverStone, which features a copper base, five heatpipes and a horizonal heatsink, with room for a 120 mm fan, which does not come with the cooler.

Zalman CNPS10X Extreme CPU Cooler Tested
|
The interesting thing about the second test is that the Zalman CNPS10X Extreme cooler didn't have any issues when we added a 140 watt processor, and shows a bigger margin of victory over the other coolers than it did in our Intel testing. The Thermaltake Big Typhoon 14 was pretty much the only coole...

ThermoLAB Baram CPU Cooler Review
|
A lot has been made of the high TDP's of Intel's i7 range of processors, only surpassed by the 140W TDP of AMD's Phenom II X4 965 BE, requiring more cooling especially when at overclocked settings. In terms of air cooling, many of the smaller designs just can't cope with the heat demands of the i7's...

Evercool Transformer 4 Review
|
Today I will be looking at another Evercool cooler, the Transformer 4 - Evercool HPJ-12025. Totally unlike the Buffalo, this cooler supports pretty much every CPU built in the past several years, it is a hulking four-piped monstrosity, more like the large coolers I am accustomed to, and instead of h...

Asus AT3N7A-I Motherboard Gets A New Fan Guide
|
The 40mm fan on the ASUS AT3N7A-I Mini-ITX motherboard is made by EverFlow, runs at 6400RPM and can be annoyingly loud if you don't like fan noise. ASUS promised us the new fan would be quieter since it would spin slower, but it would have a negative impact on cooling since it didn't have the same a...

Professional Mechanical Keyboard Comparison

There are a lot of keyboards out there. Some keyboards are wireless; others offer lighting effects, programmable displays, and drivers that remap the keyboards to configurations optimized for specific applications and games. But if you're a serious typist - a professional who thinks that a keyboard'...

XMI X-mini II Mini Speaker Reviewed
|
Today I've got a unique little product for review called the XMI X-Mini II Mini Speaker, and it's exactly what it sounds like, a mini speaker. Sure there are many of these types of products out there and I've tried a few of them myself, but this one is the best of the bunch really. It's small, porta...

NZXT M59 Review
|
Many times when putting together a parts list for a new build, the last thing that is thought of is the case. Sure you have the top-end CPU and videocard, SSDs for your data and gigs of RAM, but unless you have a case that is designed to house the latest hardware, you are at a standstill. Luckily NZ...

Lian Li PC-B25F Review
|
Review of the Lian Li PC-B25F All Aluminum Mid-Tower computer case. When presented with a chassis like Lian Li's PC-B25F, it is very hard not to heap praise on it like a smitten middle school girl. There is, nevertheless, a hell of a lot to recommend this case. It looks good, has a fabulous feature ...

Silverstone Raven RV02 Full Tower Case Video Review
|
Video review of the new Silverstone Raven RV02 Full Tower case. With the original Raven, Silverstone brought something new to an otherwise stagnant enclosure market. Their Stack Cooling layout was put to good effect and the case did quite well but many people wanted something with a bit less flamboy...

Origen AE M10 Tested
|
Origen AE has taken their legendary construction quality down to a mini ITX platform with their newest HTPC chassis - the M10. It is made of two thick pieces of aluminum and features an external, passive 150W power brick - two aspects you won't get anywhere else. But is this enough to justify the 40...

LanCool Dragon Lord PC-K62 Advanced Mid Tower Case Tested
|
Today we are looking at the PC-K62 which LanCool had sent me as a pre-release version. While the packaging may have changed a bit and an instruction booklet may be included in yours, the chassis is as complete as it is going to get and you will see this same chassis with all the same options as I am...

NZXT Zero 2 Computer Case Review
|
So, how does the Zero 2 compare to the original? Is this an update or a downgrade? After playing with the Zero 2 for about a week, I'd have to say that it is a bit of both. NZXT kept the form factor but changed the case material from aluminum to steel, making it much more robust and almost six pound...

Antec Two Hundred Case Review
|
Review of the Antec Two Hundred Mid-Tower. PC gaming has never been an inexpensive proposition. The cost of processing power, for both CPU and GPU, may have gone down in cost per GigaFLOP, but the price tag to play the latest, coolest, PC game has stayed relatively constant. Fortunately, for those o...

Lian Li PC-A06F Computer Case Review
|
Review of the Lian Li PC-A06F computer case. Wish you could fit that full size computer into an area that can usually only fit a micro-ATX case? Do you just want something a little smaller than that 75 lb extended ATX case? Lian li has the perfect solution, and for under 100 USD.
