"With very little separating the H55 and H57 chipsets it is hard to recommend one of these products over another. All come packed with good performance, plenty of features and a price that reflects their positioning in the market. So ultimately it comes down to your specific needs and budget. Below we are going to take an individual look at each board so you can better see which one might best fit your needs."

It seemed a little out of place that one of my first appointments at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles was with Honda. No, it wasn’t with Electronic Arts, Microsoft, or Capcom. It was with a carmaker. Why were they here, at a gaming trade show of all places? Simple. They wanted to show us the new 2011 Honda CR-Z sport hybrid coupe.

Santiago de Chile / Vienna, June 18th 2010 - Just two weeks after Allan Campbell from KitGuru.com pushed his Intel Core i5 655K close to the 5GHz barrier with his Noctua NH-D14, the Chilean overclocking squad from UnknownTeam.cl established a new world record on air cooling. Using the Noctua NH-D14 on their 655K CPU, Carlos 'Dahaka' Cuevas and his team-mates broke the 5GHz barrier and reached an astonishing 5372MHz!

"What we can say about the NH-D14 is that the cooler was very easy to mount, it looked very big but we didn't have any problems with other components of the motherboard", says Hernán 'Jureleitor' Barros, Sponsorship and Marketing Cordinator of UnknownTeam.cl. "It is incredibly quiet even over 5 GHz, and it took us almost no effort to break the world record again. It was a great experience and we all felt very good about the cooler, it was just amazing!"

After Jeremy Pérez Díaz aka Yagami pushed the 655K CPU to a record speed beyond 5GHz using the NH-U12P SE2 last week, the team switched to the NH-D14 at a meeting hosted by PCFactory.cl's Rodrigo Salazar. Noctua's award-winning flagship model gave Carlos 'Dahaka' Cuevas and his colleagues additional overclocking headroom and allowed the Chileans to best their previous record by another 70MHz. These outstanding results are another testimony to the NH-D14's ability to support amazing clock speeds while maintaining superb quietness of operation

 

Some people like first-person shooters. Others prefer sports titles. And then there are the pseudo rock stars who love noting more than to pick up plastic instruments and pretend that they’re part of a real band. I’d know. I’m one of them. And E3 did not disappoint in this genre.

This case really doesn't offer any features that are too out of the ordinary, but in the sub $100 dollar price range you really can't expect anything too crazy. This case comes with 3 fans (2 of which feature blue LED's), as well as a completely tool-less hard drive and optical bays. . .

Rather than buying two separate charging stands to go with your Xbox 360 and your Sony PlayStation 3, you can take care of both sets of controllers with the Konnet PowerPyramid. The more expensive “Supreme Version” comes in a “Limited Edition” silver, but it can handle both Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers. If you have just one of the two systems, you can opt for the versions of the PowerPyramid that specialize in one console or the other. Check out our review after the break…

"We reviewed a lot of motherboards based on the AMD 890GX chipset. Most were original, for example, MSI 890GXM-G65 was one of the most feature-rich mATX boards available, ECS A890GXM-A offered most peripheral functionality, finally, Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H provided the most convenient way to build a CrossFire rig.

"While Razer are more than well known for their outlandish, but at least imaginative product names, today I've taking a look at something that required a Google search to give me even the vaguest idea of where it came from. Turns out the Megasoma is large South American rhinoceros beetle as well as a fancy silicon mouse mat. "

ASUS has already earned our praise for their ASUS P6X58D-Premium motherboard. As the name implies, this exceptional X58-Express motherboard comes loaded with everything that could fit the circuit board... and a premium price to match.

While I was over in Taiwan covering COMPUTEX Taipei 2010, I had the opportunity to go on a little excursion outside of the main city. It was on that day that we paid a visit to Kingston Technology, seeing how they did what they did. It was also on that day that they revealed two new products to us. Let’s start with those, before we head off into the deep recesses of the factory.
