Kinc pushes GeForce 8800 GTX over 900MHz GPU! @ NordicHardware
“Kinc has shown that the card overclocks well and now even that it overclocks really well. As the first person he has managed to push the card over 900MHz GPU, from 575MHz at stock, while the memory was running at 1240MHz up from 900MHz. That GDDR3 would be an disadvantage has proven to be somewhat of an overstatement.”

Zerotherm VGA Cooler GX810 Review @ Technic3D
“The Zerotherm VGA Cooler GX810 arrived Technic3D. More Cooling and Modding for ATI and NVIDIA Videocards? See you in the following Review.”

Seventeam ST-420BKV 420 W Power Supply @ Hardware Secrets
“Even though power supplies from Seventeam aren’t sold in the USA retail market, they are very popular in several other countries, due to its low cost. In fact, it seems that Seventeam is the OEM manufacturer for some other brands – we discovered that the external power supply series from XG/MGE, Magnum, is in fact Seventeam Fanless series. ST-420BKV is a 420 W power supply without PFC. Let’s take an in-depth look on this power supply to check whether this unit is good or not and how it is compared to competing products.”

Core 2 Extreme vs. Zalman CNPS9700 LED, CNPS9500 AT and Others @ Digit-Life
“Intel had been preparing the revolution well in advance. In summer, 2006, the corporation launched several series of processors with the “absolutely new” Intel Core microarchitecture, which retained only crumbs from NetBurst (some crumbs!) Its basis was inherited (and improved) from Pentium III - Pentium M - Core Duo. The key advantage of this microarchitecture is significantly increased performance at significantly reduced power consumption. Let’s dwell upon the latter.”

Flexiglow Cyber Snipa Intelliscope Laser Gaming Mouse Review @ Tweaknews.net
“The Cyber Snipa, even though it’s geared towards gamers, is a well rounded mouse that works well in both games and everyday PC applications. Gamers will enjoy the six programmable buttons, ultra fast response times, DPI toggle button, and the cool red and blue illumination.”

Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD @ eCoustics
“Today, it’s not clear why anyone would spend $800 or more on a Blu-ray or HD-DVD player, when you can get a perfectly good DVD player for $30. The difference in quality just isn’t that great, especially if you don’t have a home theater.”

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about the Playstation 3 @ OCModShop
“The PS3 was released on November 11, 2006 in Japan. It will be released on November 17, 2006 in the United States and Canada, and in March, 2007 in Europe and Australasia. It will ship in two initial configurations. Sony officially unveiled the PS3 to the public on May 16, 2005 during an E3 conference. A functional version of the console was not at E3 2005 or the Tokyo Game Show in September 2005, although at both events, demonstrations were held on devkits (e.g. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots) and comparable PC hardware, and video footage based on the predicted PS3 specifications was produced (e.g. Mobile Suit Gundam). It was not until E3 2006 that games were shown on actual PlayStation 3 systems. In preparation for launch, Sony demonstrated 27 playable PS3 titles during the Tokyo Game Show in September 2006 on final hardware.”

MSI K9A Platinum (ATi Radeon XPRESS 3200) (german) (english) @ Au-Ja
“Now that AMD bought ATi, the company is once again selling CPUs and chipsets. But is the Radeon XPRESS 3200 really good enough to best NVIDIAs nForce 590 SLI? No, it isn’t! The new southbridge SB600 is a step in the right direction, but it still lacks LAN, RAID 5 and the ATA133 throughput isn’t great at all. Yes, there’s CrossFire and yes, the chipset runs quite cool. And, most important of all, the MSI K9A Platinum costs only 115 Euros.

After the initial BIOS killed our HDD partitions (all of them in one go), we had the chance to test the MSI K9A Platinum with BIOS 1.25 beta. Things look much better now, most of our memory sticks worked flawless and the mainboard runs very stable – unless you try S3 (Suspend to RAM)…”
