"With nearly twenty different LGA1366 kits tested in our Best CPU Cooler Performance LGA1366 - Q1 2009 article, one particular product stood out as an up-and-coming favorite. The Prolimatech Megahalems is a CPU cooler build from scratch using over twenty years of industry design experience and engineering. While the Prolimatech name is new to most enthusiasts, the look is not. Based on the successful Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme CPU cooler, Magahalems incorporates all-new engineering to correct weaknesses in the aging TRUE design. The result is astonishing, and the thermal cooling performance Benchmark Reviews received in testing was proof evident that you don't need HDT technology to be the best" Benchmark Reviews had the opportunity to test out the new Prolimatech Megahalems CPU recently, and the results are in!

We project a sort of "amychophobia" onto our shiny gadgets. Fortunately the magical "urethane film" that is so proudly slapped onto vehicles and helicopter blades has been adopted for G1 usage. Today, we are going to take a look at three different companies featuring three completely different G1 shields and find out which one is best for you."

While it has been quite some time since Zalman has released a new high end air cooler, they have shown with the CNPS9900 LED that they have not rested on their earlier success. Its larger size allows for quiet operation and outstanding performance. Zalman CNPS9900 LED Review at Overclockers Online

Overall, the cooler seems to be well made and so far the design intrigues me. The more compact size might be good for HTPCs or other computers with side panel fans that interfere with larger heatpipe towers. I just hope that the two 'smaller' fans can compete with the noise level and cooling performance of a 120mm unit. Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU Cooler Review @ Bigbruin.com

Throughout all of 2008, I made it my mission to test every high-performance CPU cooler that Benchmark Reviews received. The Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors did their part to separate the cream of the crop from our large collection of LGA775 coolers. In our previous Best CPU Cooler Performance article, Benchmark Reviews retired the LGA775 platform from its testing duties and made room for the up-and-coming LGA1366 socket. It didn't take long to collect several CPU coolers designed for the Intel Core i7 CPU & X58 platform. This Best CPU Cooler Performance LGA1366 - Q1 2009 article focuses on a ! wide selection of performance-cooling products for overclockers. It's a mistake to think that any LGA775 cooler can do just as well with the new LGA1366/Core i7 platform; primarily because the size and location of processor cores has changed.

We previously tested the effects of overclocking different aspects of an AMD Phenom 1 powered system, today we delve into Phenom II performance scaling, from raw CPU speed, HT Link, Northbridge to HT Link and more. If you want to get the most out of your Phenom II system, this is a must read! http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=909

If you have recently checked out our review of the nvidia GTX285, then you are sure going to be interested to find out the test results of Gigabyte's version of ATI's HD 4870, which is based on the RV770 core. The HD 4870 has been out in the market for a while now but is still a great card as it takes the memory to the new GDDR5 which, even with lower memory clock speeds, actually finds ways boosts its memory bandwidth over that of GDDR3, all with a 256-bit memory bus versus the 512-bit that all of the new NVIDIA GTX200 series cards are using.

Whether or not the economic recession is here or if your current 27" CRT TV just died on you like mine, you may be in the market for an affordable TV that offers a little more than just the basics.  The Samsung A630 is just that.  It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the 750, 850 or 950 series but it doesn't cut any corners on the basics to keep the prices down.

Glow Audio's Amp One reflects what many industry professionals see as the future of home entertainment. The role of the Personal Computer as a multi-media center. Apple has been on top of this for sometime but even Apple doesn't build sound systems per se. So what does the GLOW Amp One offer. GLOW Audio Amp One Review @ Madshrimps

For the past several years, G.Skill has built a reputation for offering premium-grade products at economy-level pricing. Similar to their competition, G.Skill offers enthusiast products in several different markets. The brand name has been built on a solid history of quality system memory product lines, and not long ago they introduced the very impressive G.Skill FM-25S2S-64GB SATA-II MLC SSD.

Here at Madshrimps, we only have one business trip every year and that's to Hannover, which is in Germany about six hours away from the home towns of the Belgian Madshrimps reviewers. Since the tradeshow is so close, there's no point in rolling out our private jet, so we simply asked our driver to prepare our luxurious limousine and drive us to Hannover to check out the latest and greatest video cards and motherboards coming to end-users PCs this year!

We take a closer look at the advantages of the E8600 and its 6Mb L2 cache, versus the more affordable E7400 with only 3Mb L2 cache, which one offers the best bang for the buck? Read on to find out. Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 vs E8600: The battle of the caches!

After rigorous testing (AKA weeks of gaming), the MP2 has left a good impression. Using my current mouse, the Creative Fatal1ty 1010, life was good as I effortlessly moved my mouse across the (nearly) frictionless cloth surface. As an avid gamer may be, he or she may want to look for the perfect mouse pad that suits their needs, may it be by texture (silky vs. "rough"), size, or even the surface art. Being that the MP2 offers all of this in a neat package, with the surface being "silky smooth", there should be no disappointment if you decide to purchase this product.

Installing a system in the Chieftec HM-01B HTPC case was extremely simple, and the tool-less drive features may be the best I have ever used. Unfortunately not all aspects of the installation are tool-less, but it went quickly anyway. The internal layout gives you plenty of room for all the necessary components, with means to manage the wires neatly. Chieftec HM-01B HTPC Case Review @ Bigbruin.com

Memory manufacturers were quite well represented this year at Cebit. SSD drives captured most of the spotlights at the memory manufacturers’ booths, but we did see a lot of interesting DDR3 products as well. Have a look at the most important memory products at Cebit 2009 in the following roundup. A look at DDR2, DDR3 and SSD Products At Cebit 2009

Everybody knows that if you're number 2, you try harder, What if you're number 3 or 4, what do you do then? You look for Golden Opportunities to prove that you have first class products.  ASRock did just that during the rise of the Core2Duo era, when overclocking nearly became a household word. ASRock built a stellar reputation with LGA775 motherboards that survived (and thrived) at the high Front Side Bus clock speeds that were required to get those Intel CPUs singing soprano.  ASRock now has a new opportunity for market expansion, with the release of the AMD Phenom II CPUs; they once again have a chance to show the world that their products are second to none for supporting the latest and greatest CPUs, with an eye towards the enthusiast market.

With 64-bit Operating Systems nearing popularity as Windows 7 approaches, the 4GB system memory barrier is going to be a relic of the past.

With the rise of the Blu-Ray and the steady downfall of the DVD, Samsung still backs up the DVD format by producing attractive internal and external drives. The Samsung SE-T084 is very well designed with its small form factor, sleek design, and quick connectivity. TruDirect is also a great program for users who want to write discs directly from their video camera. Samsung SE-T084 Slot-in External Slim DVD-Writer Review at Overclockers Online

The strongest selling point of the Sparkle GeForce 9800 GTX+ is that it stays cool and quiet at all times, which coupled with an integrated HDMI port makes it a good fit for an HTPC.
