“Given the chance to play in a professional environment, I was quite impressed with the Samson C01U USB studio condenser microphone. As a desktop microphone, it is definitely overkill – like using a Peterbilt to go grocery shopping. But give it more demanding tasks, such as audio reproduction, broadcasting, and such, the true power of the C01U can shine through.”

“Perhaps the most eye catching feature of the FLC-3000, at least compared to the LOW- 7000, is the 30 degree angle of the heatsink itself, it really looks strange to the eye at first. However, it’s clear that the heatsink is suitable for cases of small dimensions, the size of the fins clearly suggests this and the height of 119mm is not that much compared to
other heatsinks in the same category…”

“The Arctosa Gaming Keyboard is one of Razer’s entry-level enthusiast peripherals to help gamers get into the world of high-end keyboards.  It is a keyboard with many of the advanced features that you expect on a gaming keyboard, but with a price that wont break the bank.  With such features as fully programmable macro keys and anti-ghosting technology, just to name a few. Benchmark Reviews is here to test this keyboard and its many features to discover whether it lives up to the Razer name, or if it is just another regular old keyboard with some fancy logos and shiny buttons on it.”

“The Element T certainly brings a different package and look than the Element G. The Element T brings a lot of to the table when it comes to storagenwith six 3.5″ bays and one space to mount a SSD drive. There is enough room that worries should be minimal for full size power supplies or larger heatsinks.”

“Without a doubt, the Gigabyte GV-N285OC-2GI is the most powerful graphics card we’ve tested. The results speak for themselves. The card is well made, although we’d still like to see customized cooling. But we felt that the implementation of Ultra Durable VGA made up for not having something better than a reference cooling system…”

With extreme performance, alongside being non-electrically conductive, it’s hard to refuse such an amazing thermal compound. The only things holding this back from being the perfect thermal compound is it’s extremely difficult to spread.”

“Benchmark Reviews has the pleasure of testing NZXT’s newest fan control: the Sentry 2 Touchscreen Fan Controller. A step up from the Sentry 1 and a worthy stable mate for the Sentry LX. The Sentry 2 is a different approach to the same problem. A more elegant solution to a problem that has plagued computer enthusiasts since their earliest days; fan noise. With it’s touchscreen controls it’s a definite step in the right direction above and beyond it’s predecessor the Sentry 1, the Sentry 2 is simplicity itself.

Taking up only half the space of the Sentry LX you might think the NZXT Sentry 2 has only half the features or capabilities but you’d be wrong. Gone are the buttons bells and whistles but what’s left is the best of the LX with a touchscreen to make those core features even better and easier to use with some added benefits as well.”

“Boasting sound-dampening foam, anti-vibration HDD mounts, and two silent-running 800RPM 120mm fans, the Sileo 500 is an interesting break from Cooler Master’s usual chassis design. A long-time manufacturer of high-end gaming cases, it appears Cooler Master is now adding silent computing to their arsenal. Benchmark Review will take a closer look at the RC-500-KKR3-GP model and finds out if the Sileo 500 worthy of the name and your money.”

“At first glance, the NZXT BETA is a pretty standard chassis in terms of its configuration. The only thing that stands out is the front, which is striking and perhaps a bit aggressive, aimed at gamers. As emphasized in its specs, the BETA is built of steel, except for the front, with its molded plastic.”

“Vienna, August 18th 2009 – Noctua today announced the impending availability of its new NM-I3 SecuFirm2™ mounting kit that adds support for Intel’s upcoming LGA1156 based Core i5 and Core i7 “Lynnfield” CPUs. Compatible with all Noctua CPU coolers since 2005, the new SecuFirm2™ kit will be supplied to Noctua users free of charge after uploading a proof of purchase on Noctua’s website.

“Back in 2006 when AMD introduced the AM2 socket, we started providing free mounting kits because we think that product and service quality should always go hand in hand”, explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. “We’ve continued this tradition when Intel presented LGA1366 and we’ll stick to our policy for LGA1156 as well. We always like to think of our coolers as safe long-term investments, and even if you bought one of our first models four years ago, you’ll still be able to upgrade it to the latest socket technology free of charge.”

“Smaller, quieter, greener.  These are the new key words of the industry.  Computer components are reducing their size and their footprint.  The next wave of computer enthusiasts isn’t looking for that full tower monster case with LED lighting.  They want sleek and slim, lean and trim.  Benchmark Reviews takes a look today at the SilverStone SUGO SST-SG06B mini-ITX case.  When you read mini-ITX, I know what you’re thinking.  Another HTPC case, nice and small, but useless for any type of CPU or GPU intensive activity.  And that’s where SilverStone breaks the trend.  The case comes stock with a 300W power supply and enough room for a 9″ long video card.  Could this be the answer to those of us yearning for a PC that meets our computing needs as well as our space and aesthetic needs?  Follow along as we delve deeper to find out.”

“With a tint of colored styling, 50 000:1 dynamic contrast, and 2ms response time, gamers and movie fiascos can be assured a great time. But the lack of HDMI input is a definite turn-off for many. With the many devices that output 1080p in HDMI format, it is surprising that Samsung decided against this. But the P2350 is a great panel with beautiful styling so it still deserves a good look for those in the market.”
