HIS is perhaps best known for the efficient and silent cooling used on their ATI Radeon range of products.

Today, we take a look at how the HIS X850 XT PCI Express performs.

Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of reviewing a new cooler offering from Evercool, the HPC-925 Ice-Man. This cooler uses heatpipe technology to provide a cooling solution for a range of processors from AMD K7 and K8 to Intel P4?s. While we?ve seen a lot of heatpipes and have had mixed results, can we expect this one to be any different? Let?s find out.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless Network Camera.

Recently Actiontec has released a new product called 54Mbps Wireless Network Camera that provides extra security inside or outside any home.

Patriot introduces a new memory rated at both DDR400 and DDR533. The question, of course, is how the Patriot performs compared to other TCCD-based memory. It has the right stuff in its design, but does it deliver in the all-important performance arena?

Over the past couple of weeks we've been playing around with a premium water cooling kit courtesy of the folks at Asetek in Denmark. The Water Chill kit provides a means of cooling your processor, chipset and GPU in an effective, easy yet most importantly quiet manor through the use of water. Read on as we provide a thorough investigation of the Asetek Water Chill.

Launched in late 2004 ATI?s Radeon X700 Series was initially tasked to take over ATI?s mainstream performance board segment. However, soon after its announcement ATI cancelled the high end X700 XT configuration, to make way for the standard Radeon X800, leaving the X700 PRO as the highest performance configuration within the X700 line.

XtremeResources have just published a review of Crucial's Gizmo! Hi-Speed 512MB USB Flash Drive, evaluated and benched by our European Reviewer Grace.

Three reviews in one! We take an in-depth look at three SiS760GX mATX motherboards from ECS, Foxconn, and AOpen. There's more to consider than meets the eye in these small packages.

PC Perspective

Do you share your internet connection with a bandwidth hog at home and it's affecting your ping times while gaming? If so, D-Link's DGL-4300 router may just be the solution for you. The DGL-4300's GameFuel technology flags data packets from games such as Counter-Strike as high priority, while packets from other programs are tagged low priority, giving you the lowest ping possible for gaming. In addition, the router supports 802.11g and features four GigE ports. But does this technology actually work in games? Find out in this review!

Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of testing the latest Socket A heatsink from Thermalright, the SI-97. Although A64 and Pentium 4 users have been given the opportunity to use the XP-120 and XP-90, the users of the older Socket A platform have not been able to share in their good fortune. Thermalright would not forget, and soon they produced the SI-97, an even lighter version of the XP ?Light and Easy? series of heatsinks.

AMD has a new revision of the Athlon 64 on the way out the door codenamed Venice. Not only does it improve memory compatibility with four modules, it adds SSE3 instructions. Did I mention we got a 40% overclock out of it too?

PC Perspective

For $70 USD you can pick this little gem up and it is well worth it. The practical applications of a wireless desktop set are endless and to have it work as well as a wired set is even greater. If you are restricted to where you can place your tower because of input cord lengths, or are just sick of having wires tangled all over the place, than this set is for you.

XtremeResources have just published a review by Guest Reviewer JasLee of A-Top Technology's newest case offering, the XPlode.

OCIA.net has posted a 7-page review on the SilverStone TJ05 *2005 Revision*. Below is a direct quote from the review:

Finally, someone listened to the cries of enthusiasts and got rid of the horrible rear stamped grill. A free-flowing design offers much better airflow and lower overall noise. The rest of the backside looks pretty standard, except for the button-switch near the middle-right side of the rear.

Armed with the SLI bludgeon and a quiver bulging with marketing names like ActiveArmor, MediaShield, DASP, and QuickSync, NVIDIA has decided to cross over from the AMD market into the foreign, and much larger, territory of Intel-compatible chipsets. The nForce4 has not been without its growing pains, but it still dominates the enthusiast motherboard scene for the Athlon 64. Is the nForce4 SLI Intel Edition good enough to stand toe to toe with Intel's 925XE? We're about to find out.

One of the best ways to carry a lot of music with you is to use a hard drive based MP3 player. Samsung, a relative new comer in the MP3 market has just released their interpretation of the hard drive based MP3 player called the YH-925 20GB Digital Audio Player. This sleek small player holds up to 1200 hours of your favorite songs. Plus you can transfer and store digital pictures and view them on the vivid colour display.

XtremeResources reviewer Joe "JBell" brings to the table today a case modding kit by XGBox, the XG Extreme UV Mod box kit. If you are building a system and you need to grab all the gear at o­nce or want to tweak out your current rig, you certainly can not go wrong with the Extreme Mod Kit. XGBox has again proven they are completely focused o­n the wants and needs of the LAN gamer and custom case designer.

How this crossover came to be is a mystery to us. There have been some decent LEGO themed racers in the past, and LEGO Island was cool, but LEGO Star Wars?
Regardless of the murky origins of the title, which doubtless involved satanic deals to be paid for with souls, the final product is a deceptively simple platform adventure game that will delight lovers of square plastic construction toys and Star Wars fans alike, along with anyone who's looking for some lighthearted entertainment that does not feature buckets of blood and demons from hell, whoever they may be.

Today we look at nForce4 based Shuttle SN25P XPC that shifts their Athlon64 line-up into the newer chassis offering greater flexibility.

OCIA.net has posted a review on the OCZ Modstream 520w PSU.

Heatshrink is used near the molex connectors instead of the sleeving continuing all the way to the connector. A previous PSU that I looked at ran the sleeving all the way to the molex, which made for some pretty stiff ends that were a little difficult to work with in some situations.
