Review: OCZ Onyx 32GB | Posted on: 31/07/2010 @ 20:00

When it comes to affordable SSDs, the latest fashion is towards the tiny. In that context, OCZ's new Onyx 32GB drive is as trendy as they come. But is it so small that you'd have to be a style victim to buy it? Very probably, yes. Fully formatted, you're left with 29.7GB of storage. That sounds like a reasonable result for a 32GB drive. At least, it does until you observe how much remains after a ...

Gainward announces a 2GB GTX 460 | Posted on: 31/07/2010 @ 18:36

If you’re on the lookout for a GTX460, you had two choices – the 768MB versions, or the 1GB variants.  From our recent review, the 1GB versions, due to their increased memory bus width, outperformed the 768MB versions by quite a few percentage points.  This is also reflected in the price of the 1GB 460 over the 768MB 460.  So now Gainward are adding to the mix, with a 2GB GTX 460 model.

Review: Parasound P3/A23 | Posted on: 20/07/2010 @ 18:12

Parasound is a name which will be familiar to those interested in American audio, but historically it's not had much visibility in the UK. The P3 preamp and A23 power amp are part of the company's 'Halo' range, value audiophile products designed in America but built in Taiwan.

Review: NAD C165BEE/C275BEE | Posted on: 20/07/2010 @ 17:36

From the original kings of budget audiophilia, comes a particularly well-equipped preamp and a strikingly powerful power amp, all tastefully presented in traditional NAD charcoal black. NAD is one of only very few brands to include tone controls, although they might be making a comeback! There's also a subwoofer output which we don't imagine too many stereo folks using, but the rest of the ...

Built, as ever, into the famous Cyrus die-cast chassis, the Pre XP d preamp and 8 Power amp units are picked from among the comprehensive range of pre and power amplifiers in the company's catalogue.

Fractal Design Array | Posted on: 09/07/2010 @ 2:00

The Fractal Design Array manages to swallow a whole six 3.5 inch drives and a single 2.5 inch one without the usual dimensions of a mid or full tower case. This makes the ITX chassis a great DIY NAS or server chassis. We dive into the Array to see how they manage to stuff so much hardware into a chassis of this size.

Some of its other features include a 7.1-inch touch screen, expansion slots, an included stylus, but it does have a few downfalls, from the high price to image contrast problems.

Gunnar Optiks Phenom Performance Eyewear | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 23:24

Hardcore gamers are always looking for another way to get a leg-up on their competition. There are performance products for nearly everything imaginable, now including eyewear. Unfortunately, a lot of these products are only marketing hype and fail to produce the results that are promised. So, when I first opened the packaging of the Gunnar Optiks Phenom glasses, I was admittedly skeptical if I ...

Cooler Master Storm Scout Case - BURNED iN and Reviewed | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 23:24

The Scout enclosure, from Cooler Master, is one of their mid-tower releases in the Storm line of products. As with most of the products in this line, dark paint and/or a brushed metal look is the norm. But, unlike many of them, the Scout doesn't have that out-of-the-box flare that we are familiar with. Does that mean Cooler Master is hiding something underneath the hood? We intend to find out - ...

Review: Gelid Tranquillo | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:37

The Tranquillo is a big tower cooler with four 6mm heat pipes (without Direct Touch, though) and a fin stack which, for once, didn't feature blood-letting edges. It fits the usual suspects of AMD and Intel chips. You get a lot of hardware for your money here. Unlike Titan's Fenrir and Xigmatek's Thor's Hammer we're not in the world of heavy-metal casings. This is a workmanlike cooler without ...

Review: Thermaltake Silent 1156 | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:36

For an i7-compatible cooler, Thermaltake's Silent 1156 is a compact beast, with a svelte fin stack that's smaller that the 9cm fan housing. It's main rivals are the well established CoolerMaster Hyper 101 and Arctic Cooling's Freezer 7 Pro (see a theme with these names?). The Silent 1156 has just two 8mm heat pipes. As you might guess from the name, it fits Intel's LGA 1156 boards only, but it ...

Review: Scythe Yasya SCYS-1000 | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:36

The aggressive-looking Yasya features a set of cooling fins that could have been designed to draw blood. It sits well along side other gothic-style rivals, such as Titan's Fenrir and Xigmatek's Thor's Hammer. The Yasya has six 6mm heat pipes, rather than the more usual 8mm jobs in tower coolers this size, which is big. It only fits one way around, so can foul your RAM slots on crowed boards. If ...

Review: Xigmatek Thor's Hammer S126384 | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:36

The Hammer is a wonderfully gothic-looking creation, with a very fetching gloss black nickel-plated finish complete with an usual design of interlacing fins. Thor's Hammer tops other big towers such as Titan's Fenrir by carrying a lot of pipe-work, with four main 8mm heat pipes with Direct Touch, where they're in direct contact with the top of the processor, and another three inner 6mm pipes. ...

Review: Titan Fenrir TTC-NK85TZ | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:36

If you're going to stress Intel or AMD's latest processors then you'll need a heavyweight cooler. Named after the monstrous wolf from Norse mythology, Titan's Fenrir sports a suitably heavy-metal wolf-head motif and certainly looks like it means business. The heavy-metal theme is not uncommon with coolers – witness Scythe's Yasya and Xigmatek's ridiculously-named Thor's Hammer. Fenrir is big ...

Review: Noctua NH-D14 | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:24

One look at the Austrian-designed Noctua and you know it means business. For a start, it's something of a giant, featuring two fin stacks and two fans. The quality of engineering is superb, right through to the colour instructions. Even the thermal paste is 'award-winning' thermal paste. It looks the business, in a no-nonsense way. Only the hospital beige-coloured fans spoil the party here. ...

Review: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2 | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:24

The Revision 2 nomenclature for Arctic Cooling's Freezer 7 indicates that LGA 1156 compatibility has been added, alongside pretty much every other standard. On paper, it should cope with our i7 920 test system, despite the cooler's relatively diminutive size. It has three 6mm heat pipes and we did wonder if it was really up to the task. The 9cm PWM fan fits neatly over one side and is mounted on ...

Review: CoolerMaster Hyper 101 PWM Universal | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 21:24

This isn't exactly fair. CoolerMaster's Hyper 101 isn't really designed for the full fruitiness of an i7 920's LGA 1366, but it fitted our test system and was in the office, so we stuck it in. It's really meant for AMD K8, AM2/3 and LGA 775 and 1156 boards, hence the 'Universal' tag. It's a popular cooler and it's easy to see why given the price. The main rival is Arctic Cooling's Freezer 7 Pro, ...

Fermi Goes Mobile: AVADirect's Clevo W880CU with GTX 480M | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 11:00

Ever wonder what a $3,000 notebook looks like? NVIDIA's first DirectX 11-capable GPU makes its way into notebooks to reclaim the fastest mobile graphics crown from AMD, starting with the Clevo W880CU. In this familiar shell beats the heart of a monster, but is the severely cut-down Fermi enough to gain a healthy lead past the Mobility Radeon HD 5870, and is the W880CU worth your gaming dollar?

Prolimatech Samuel 17 | Posted on: 08/07/2010 @ 10:51

We have no doubts about Prolimatech's renowned reputation for top cooling products, but the Samuel 17 is a different breed since it's not designed for absolute killer overclocking performance. It will be interesting to see if it can live up to its moniker, reflecting the David and Goliath story from the Bible. Can this little cooler succeed?

With the Joby Gorillatorch you can wrap the legs around any convenient object or take advantage of the magnetic feet to point a bright beam of light into the area of interest.
