CoolIT Vantage ALC Cooler
0 Comments |
Hardware Heaven have a new review of the CoolIT Vantage ALC Cooler and compared it to the H50 in terms of performance:
Quote:

When we reviewed CoolITs ECO cooler a few months ago we were very happy with the build quality, it was noticeably better than the Domino and since then we have covered the Omni GPU cooler. This, like the Vantage, maintained the same level of quality as the ECO and it is now pretty much expected that CoolIT will deliver top quality products to the market. The only real issue with the build is the noise level created by the fan; it would be great if CoolIT could invest some resources in designing a lower noise version, or partner with another manufacturer to use their low noise model.

MSI 890FXA-GD70 AMD 890FX Motherboard

Legit Reviews have a look at the MSI 890FXA-GD70 AMD 890FX Motherboard, designed to run socket AM3 Phenom II, Athlon II and Sempron 100 Series processors:

Overall I am thoroughly impressed with the MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard. Why you may ask. It does exactly what it is supposed to do with out complaining. Sure the performance was slightly behind that of the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula, but it isn't the kind of performance difference you will notice on a day to day basis. What you may notice on a day to day basis, is the price difference. At the time of this writing the MSI 890FXA-GD70 is $179.99 after rebate. That puts the MSI 890FXA-GD70 thirty bucks below the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula. That's an extra thirty bucks you can invest into a better graphics card or processor

NZXT Phantom Case

Techware Labs have reviewed the NZXT Phantom Case, which they rate very highly indeed:

This case is an awesome addition to NZXT’s Impressive Crafted Series. This is by no means the only tool-less case on the market, however a number of the innovations implemented with this case set it far above most of the ones I have encountered. It is a distinctive honor to be listed as distinctive, in a market with so many competitors. If you are looking for a superior case to house your power house system, this should be at the top of your list.

ASUS GeForce GTX 460 TOP

InsideHW.com has reviewed ASUS GeForce GTX 460 TOP graphics card. Here is a quote from this review:
Quote:
|
Ever since the first Fermi-based graphics card appeared at the end of March, it was clear that something just doesn’t smell alright about it. The first cards from the GeForce GTX 400 series were obviously engineered under great pressure. The result was chips that were fast, but the price, consumption, heating and yield percentage of which was far from commendable, as much as Nvidia tried to convince us otherwise. Yet everyone has the right to a second chance, so Nvidia figured that the correct perspective isn’t in weakening the way too expensive GF100 chip and its installation onto weaker card revisions (as confirmed by GeForce GTX 465, the review of which we’ve recently published), instead going for developing a weaker, but more economical version of the chip, something that the upper intermediate class cards could be based on…

High performance motherboards are the envy of every PC build. They provide a solid foundation and usually allow you to get more out of your hardware than you otherwise would be able to using an entry level motherboard. MSI brings their creme de la creme enthusiast motherboard to the table today with their Big Bang XPOWER. Packing enough power to start its own universe, this board has all the bells and whistles to make the nerdiest of us giddy like a school girl.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 and GTX 470 Graphics Cards

IXBT Labs have a review of the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 and GTX 470 Graphics Cards:

As you know, not all GF100 GPUs are produced without defects. The nondefective ones are used in GeForce GTX 480 graphics cards; those that only have a few billion bad transistors or so have corresponding GPU parts disabled and are used in making GeForce GTX 470 products. But there are also GPUs that only have about two thirds of the core working. That's how GeForce GTX 465 has come to life. It has a GPU with 352 stream processors, 48 TMUs and 36 ROPs, a 256-bit bus instead of a 320-bit one, 1024MB of memory instead of 1280MB, and features a GeForce GTX 470 PCB. Obviously, the MSRP is also reduced -- down to $279.

Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard

ASE Labs have a review of the Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard, ideally suited to those that play lots of FPS games:
Quote:

While we have recently reviewed Logitech's high end gaming keyboard, the G19, the company has also released an upgrade to the old G11 series that debuted over three years ago. The G11 came out at nearly the same time as the original G15, sans the LCD screen that made »the G15 a prized keyboard. Fast forward, most people agree that the LCD is mostly a gimmick and relegated to niche uses. The G11 was a great keyboard since the G15 keyboard was excellent as well. After we reviewed the G19, we were a bit skeptical of the keyboard if Logitech went down the same path of using different feeling keys on the G110. Our skepticism was misplaced as Logitech didn't just rip the LCD off the G19 for this incarnation. The G110 is a totally different keyboard.
