Award-winning, universal GPU liquid cooling solution provides aggressive heat dissipation for optimal graphics performance

Calgary, AB – March 26, 2010 – CoolIT Systems, leaders in advanced liquid cooling technology, announced today that upon its retail availability this summer, the Omni ALC universal graphics card liquid cooling solution will offer full support of NVIDIA’s latest graphics cards, the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 480 and GTX 470.

Today marks the release of NVIDIA's new GeForce Fermi architecture. After excruciating months of delays, NVIDIA has finally given the green light for their new products. The GeForce GTX 480 offers all the latest features like DirectX 11, Tesselation, gaming on multiple monitors and GPU computation. Did NVIDIA's new card manage to claim the throne?

In this review we will be looking at new GeForce GTX 480 and some of the new technology and performance it brings to the table. Does this card have what it takes to be a real graphical powerhouse?, will the 32 core reduction in power be enough to beat the Radeon HD 5870??

NVIDIA's latest beast offers unprecedented performance to the enthusiast gamer. But it also requires massive amounts of data being fed to it to perform. That's why it is commonly expected that high-end graphics cards are crippled if the PCI-Express interface does not offer the maximum speed of x16 2.0. We test four different PCI-E configurations and their performance to shine light on this question.

If you remember, we recently played with the Mionix Keid 20 Gaming Headset from that new European gaming gear company known as Mionix. But that’s only one of the things they make for gamers. The other product they are known for is their NAOS 5000 Performance Gaming Mouse. After checking out their performance gaming headset, it was now time to see what they could do with a performance gaming mouse. Allow me to give you the full take on the NAOS 5000 and where it sits on the food chain of pwnage.

BALDWIN PARK, CA (March 26, 2010) – CyberPower Inc. www.cyberpowerpc.com today announced that its high-end gaming desktop PCs will be infused with NVIDIA’s new Fermi graphics processor. The Fermi architecture for Windows 7 desktop PCs brings a new level of realism to gaming with DirectX11 support, 3D Vision Surround, CUDA architecture for faster downloads and readbacks, and PhysX for more realistic gaming interaction.

City of Industry, Calif. – Sceptre, world class manufacturers of high-quality TV and PC monitors, has just announced the newest addition to its LED series of PC monitors – the sleek and stylish 24-inch 1080p model featuring 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, ultra-fast 2 ms response time, lightweight/slim design and groundbreaking Sensitive Touch Control.

Barcelona, Spain – March 26, 2010 – IDAPT, a Spanish international mobile technology leader, is proud to announce the IDAPT i4 placed first in the Mobile CE Fashion & Lifestyle products category at the CTIA Wireless E-Tech Awards. The IDAPT i4 dominated the competition judged on innovation, functionality, technical importance, implementation, and overall “wow” factor.

The E352 earphones that we received don't have a microphone and therefore come with a standard 1/8" stereo plug, but the big feature on these is the wooden construction of the earbuds.  Of course the internals and the part on which the silicon earpieces attach is aluminum, but the main sound chamber is actually made of wood. . .

The XFX Radeon HD 5830 is one of many new Cypress-based DirectX 11 video cards released by ATI partners in the last few weeks, to great anticipation in the marketplace. Each of the HD5830 cards was designed by the individual AIB partners and there really are no two that are alike, except for minor variations sold side-by-side by a few companies. The high clock rate of the HD-5830 GPU, and its 2 billion plus transistor count, made this design a challenging one for many of the suppliers. The HD-583X-ZNFV graphics card from XFX uses some new power supply technology and a classic cooler design to simplify the Radeon 5xxx design a bit and cut costs, without sacrificing quality or performance. Benchmark Reviews has a retail sample in our lab; let's see how well XFX executed on their strategy.

"A little while ago we tested the Thermaltake BlacX Duet eSATA & USB Docking station and now we can compare it to this DS221 2.5" HDD Enclosure by SilverStone Technology. It has two bays that support 2.5" SATA drives that are hot swappable. Let's see how it compares to the Thermaltake BlacX Duet."

"The machine based on a CPU like Intel Celeron Processor 220 will be noticeably faster than that based on its "Atomic" counterpart. ASUS ITX-220 may be old, but it's interesting nevertheless. What's more important, it's quite cheap. This motherboard may even be the best solution on this old chipset."

Today we have a look at MSI's 890GXM-G65 motherboard featuring the new AMD 890GX chipset and compare it against that other HTPC solution: Intel's Clarkdale.

Today's growing technology makes it easy for us to build PC to do anything. So why not make one to control your whole media environment. Easily done and can be done for the same price you would have paid for any number of a combination of media equipment.

While there may be a couple things for Technocel to improve on, the T360 is still a winner as an affordable and reliable Bluetooth headset for your phone.

Both the wired and wireless Kidz Gear headphones were given to several kids to test out. On a three hour trip, none of them took the headphones off. At the final destination, they all stated the headphones were more comfortable than the ones that came with the vehicle. The parents of the kids now have to buy new headphones!

In this review we are going to look at the new Radeon HD 5770 from Gigabyte. The Radeon HD 5770 is the middle ground on the gaming performance spectrum designed to be cheaper than the HD 5870 and slightly more powerful than the HD 5670.

"To make the review more interesting, we used two configurations of similar price. One had a more expensive graphics card, while the other had a correspondingly more expensive CPU. Let's see which configuration would be the optimal."

Corsair's latest Padlock revision brings about more changes than just a new look. Data is now secured with a 256-bit AES encryption, unlike the original Padlock 1, which just cut off power to the flash drive unless the correct PIN was entered. We drill the Padlock 2 to see if it holds up or snitches under pressure.

This graphics card is mostly aimed with HTPC users in mind incorporating the latest technologies including ATI Eyefinity with its VGA, DVI and Display Port connections. It also has a very low profile heatsink and fan design.
