"Today we are going to test Coolink Chillaramic Thermal compound. A good heatsink and fan are the main components in cooling a CPU, but a good thermal compound will help you achieve maximum cooling results. The Coolink Chillaramic comes in a 10g syringe, enough to apply about 30 applications..."

"For this review I will be looking at another product from our friends over at Nexus. The product under the spot light today is a new CPU cooler in the shape of the VCT-9000.  As i have looked at a few Nexus cooling products before I have fairly high expectations, and I am pretty sure I won’t be disappointed."

Not everyone needs 1250 watts of raw electron chugging potential. If you're like us and love to live on the bleeding edge of tech and performance, then it's worth your time to find out how you'll be powering your next build. Do you have a lot of storage, are you planning on buying two or more of the latest video card? If so then you need to think about providing a good power supply for those expensive components.

FREMONT, California, May 4, 2009 — Corsair, a worldwide leader in high-performance computer and flash memory products, today announced the addition of two new drives to their award-winning Nova Series SSD family.

 

The 32GB Nova Series SSD is the perfect mix of performance and value for use as a boot drive for basic configurations, and can also be used in high-performance multi-drive RAID configurations.   The 256GB Nova Series SSD is an excellent choice for systems that need both high performance and large capacity. Both drives utilize the popular Indilinx Barefoot^™ controller.

 

Thermaltake has an incredible cooler on their hands. The Frio is designed to cool all modern processors, even while overclocked, and it should do so very well. Thermaltake even includes a second 120mm fan in the box, so if you want the additional cooling that a push-pull configuration can provide, you don't have to purchase anything else.

Knowing ASrock as a company that usually pumps out zillions of colourfull entry level boards, sometimes innovating by integrating older technology like eg AGP slots onto new platforms, makes them stand out from the crowd. Sadly when you mention ASrock, most immediately are thinking about cheap hardware, correlating it with poor build quality and durability, lack of features...

Well let me tell you this 890GX board is absolutely bullet proof. I had zero issues with it during weeks of bashing. It even survived several short LN2 sessions and a 5 hour marathon one at the AOCM OC party in Mindfeld!

The SandForce SF-1222TA3-SBH processor is part of the SF-1200 SSD controller family, and through various new technology implementations SandForce has redefined performance expectations for the entire solid state storage landscape. Not only are bandwidth speeds extremely fast (nearly saturating the SATA-3GB/s interface), but operational IOPS performance reaches SLC-NAND levels. Additionally, SandForce RAISE technology provides redundant protection for single SSD computer systems, and data is automatically secured with AES-128 encryption. Benchmark Reviews has individually tested the ADATA S599, Corsair Force F100, and RunCore ProV SSDs, all which use the SandForce SF-1200 controller, but we've never experimented with these drives in a combined array. For this article, Benchmark Reviews tests two SandForce SF-1200 SSDs in a striped RAID-0 array to unleash absolute performance.

“I'm back today with a quick review of a new case from Griffin Technology for the iPod Touch 2G. It's a folio style case eloquently called the Elan Passport. Just as with the iPhone, the iPod Touch is a massive market for accessory manufacturers. There is approximately 35 million iPod Touch devices in the wild. That's a ton of accessories that will be sold. I don't know about you guys, but every single person I know with an iPhone or iPod Touch (which is alot!) not only love their device, but also owns at least one accessory for it, usually a case of some sort. Most own numerous accessories, including multiple cases (for different occasions) because depending on what you'll be doing on a given day, you may need more or less protection for your device. Let's take a closer look at the Elan Passport case from Griffin and see where it fits in.”

The SCX-5635FN is a nice machine that is a great upgrade from the aging SCX-4521F and this one supports duplex printing as well as network functions giving it a better fit in a small office.  The copy features are very good and include enlargements, automatic document feeding, duplex copies and more.  Faxing and printing follow the same suit and that makes this machine very appealing. . .

This enables tweakers to get higher overclocks out of their card without complicated modding.

Luxa2 a sub division of Thermaltake makes more exclusive products than Thermaltake, they are slowly getting into the market and got some VERY nice cases but today we are looking at their fanless laptop cooler.

The Define R2 from Fractal Design manages to still turn some heads in the crowded sub 100 Euro case market. It may not look like much at first sight, but Fractal Design manages to stuff it full of useful features, which are simply not present in cases from the competitors.
