Let’s meet the new cooler from Thermaltake, which is currently the most expensive and, most likely, the most efficient processor cooler they have to offer.
Today we are going to talk about three power supply units from the Corsair AX 80 PLUS Gold certified series with the wattage ranging from 650 to 850 watts.
We have already discussed the high-end Corsair system cases from the Graphite and Obsidian series. The products reviewed today belong to the third series, which is the newest and also the most affordable one at this time. Will they be as good in their class as their predecessors? Let’s find out.
Today we are going to talk about three new graphics accelerators on Radeon HD 79xx GPUs, which have different PCBs, unique cooling systems and increased operational clock speeds. We will also test CrossFireX configurations and see how well this technology works for Tahiti graphics processors.
Today we are introducing to you the fastest graphics accelerator of our times and even of the rapidly approaching near future.
This is a mainboard with good accessories bundle, convenient layout, efficient cooling system, wide functionality and low power consumption. It is really close to becoming a leader as soon as some minor issues are successfully resolved.
Is it possible to cool a contemporary GPU working at 1 GHz frequency with just a passive heatsink? Arctic says “yes” and our today’s review will tell you how to accomplish it.
Let’s take a closer look at two reference graphics cards based on the junior AMD GPUs from the Southern Islands family – Cape Verde.
A year and a half after the launch of the LGA 1155 platform Intel is updating its key component – the CPU. The new manufacturing process, improved microarchitecture and refreshed lineup – is it the coming of a new star?

Today we are going to talk about not the very top, but also not the very junior model from ASRock. However, we can’t call it mainstream either. It is a very feature-rich mainboard that tends to be closer to the flagship models. The “GB” letters in the model name are an abbreviation from “Game Blaster” – a complex expansion card that combines the functionality of a network and sound card.
Thermalright decided to take back the leadership in the air-cooler market by designing and releasing a cooler for the fastest and hottest six-core Intel processors.
