The Noctua NH-U12P SE2 is a great cooler. I was already impressed by its predecessor, the NH-U12P and Noctua has managed to improve on it with the inclusion of an extra NF-P12 fan. The build quality and design are excellent and compatibility is a non-issue. Installation was also extremely simple - the clearly illustrated manual was a big help.

To start off this is a totally new experience to me. Yes even at my age I am still in for some learning action. Being used to review motherboards, CPUs and GPUs and cooling equipment, I had no idea how to approach a review about a keyboard. Being an avid gamer, in a past far away, I always avoided wireless input. Even though technology has come a long way since the dark ages, I am still sceptical about the lag input they could create when fighting it out on the battlefield. So let us have a loser look at this compact wireless keyboard with trackball from Vidabox

The Ultra Products X4 500W PSU is a solid piece of kit in a nice tidy package.  This PSU comes with a 32A +12v rail and only provides 2x PCIe connectors.  It is completely modular and features a nice large fan that provides very good cooling to this unit under normal circumstances.  When pulling 550W through this unit some components hit 50°C as measured with an IR Thermal probe, but we experienced no stability issues. . .

The first member of the Evergreen family hit the market back in September (2009). AMD has since then not said much about what would follow.

 

Nvidia have taken a major back seat lately with all of their time devoted to the long awaited Fermi. They did however, manage to release a couple of cards last year in the GT series. Namely the GeForce GT 240, which was released in November
