Thermaltake SpinQ Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review | Posted on: 31/12/2008 @ 8:18

With the SpinQ, Thermaltake is breaking new ground in aesthetics and design. The blue LED centrifugal fan and innovative fin design make for an interesting product that is visually exciting and would be a definite asset in a windowed case. As far as cooling performance, it is as good, or better than the majority of high-end coolers on the market at stock voltages.

Gaming Performance: Core i7 vs. Core 2 Quad | Posted on: 31/12/2008 @ 0:58

In the review of Nehalem CPU we haven't said anything about gaming performances. Since new X58 chipset has support for nVIDIA SLI and ATi CrossFire, it would be great to see those performances, but that combination would come with hefty price tag at the moment, so we decided to test single graphics card system.

AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition | Posted on: 29/12/2008 @ 0:59

With design of new K10 microarchitecture, by majority of critics, AMD bit off more than they can chew. In beginning K10 wasn't designed for two or single core CPUs. For less cores it was necessary to take "rejected" CPUs and disable faulty cores, and that isn't a cheap process. CPU with disabled core still has same surface area as quad core, and disabled part is totally useless.

The motherboard used does support SLI-Ready memory up to 2000MHz, but it did have some trouble staying stable at that speed. Testing really didn't show much advantage over a ‘slower’ kit, and if you can run with tighter timings at lower speeds you may be better off.

With Intel’s new Core i7 processors’ need for a new socket and X58 chipset, ASUS is marketing its P6T Deluxe as a high-end, feature-rich board that should satisfy even the most discerning consumer. With the X58 motherboards inherently being enthusiast-class, there are slim pickings out there but the P6T Deluxe is probably one of the best all-around boards we’ve ever come across.”

That's why it's always nice to test something from a relatively new manufacturer on the scene. Today we're looking at the AXP Supernova units in 800w and 1000w. Let's see how they get on.

As announced, nVIDIA presented new GTX260 with larger amount of Stream Processors. This is consequence of the facts that regular GTX260 didn't have expected performances levels and price was too high compared to similar products on the market. Simply put GTX260 was very fast but since Radeon HD 4870 had better performance/price ratio nVIDIA had to do something and as result we have GTX260+.
