It's been a fair few months since we first took a look at the Radeon HD 4670, courtesy of Sapphire's reference-based offering. Now, this well-known AIB are back with a new spin on this mid-range offering, strapping 512MB of faster GDDR4 memory to the board as well as kitting it out with what promises to be a bigger, quieter cooling solution. Are these changes enough to impress? We take a look.

How to get started with microcontrollers - Part 1 | Posted on: 26/01/2009 @ 19:22

Modding with leds and switches gives you a way to customize your case. With these items alone you can do great things but when combined with microcontroller, the project just lifts off. Programming these little chips may seem difficult but we are going to show you how easy it is to get started with them.

Fan on this graphics card is larger than fans that we used to see on most Radeon graphics cards.

EK Water Blocks FC-4870 | Posted on: 15/01/2009 @ 3:40

Like all high-end graphics cards, the HD 4870 produces a lot of heat, and even ATiÂ’s dual-slot cooling solution has difficulties keeping the card cool. One of the best ways to achieve quiet cooling for such a card is to use liquid cooling and one of the most prominent manufacturers for liquid cooling blocks is EK Water Blocks.

The cooler performed quite well during testing, and for those interested in running their system in near silence, the Baram will cooperate with temperatures that may be better than on some more popular (and louder) coolers.

Thecus N3200 Pro Raid 5 Three Bay NAS Review | Posted on: 14/01/2009 @ 6:31

Thecus took a great NAS and made it even better with the N3200 Pro. It's difficult to tell it apart from the original N3200 just by looking at it, because underneath the hood is where all the upgrades have taken place. During testing, RAID 5 build time was impressive and transferring files with the Pro model is faster when compared to its predecessor.

No one expected that company, that is in constant transition, financial problems and without complete product portfolio, can produce interesting, equivalent and concurrent product. Phenom CPUs with K10 micro architecture didn't claim speed crown from Intel, but they were significant step forward compared to "worn out" K8 cores.

Best CPU Cooler Performance - Q4 2008 | Posted on: 06/01/2009 @ 18:39

From my experience, 2008 has been a very good year for CPU coolers. We've tested the OCZ Vendetta 2 to perform as well or better than coolers twice its price, and we've discovered that the Thermaltake V14 Pro can deliver top cooling performance while looking good. But heading into 2009 we must bid farewell to the LGA775 platform, which has been the home to many of our most popular products, and ...

We first saw Sapphire's TOXIC brand taking on its Radeon HD 4870 form courtesy of a 512MB part back in October, with an offering which rather impressed us, but today sees that launch of a Radeon HD 4870 TOXIC sporting a 1GB frame buffer by the company - Can it carry on where its predecessor left off?
