OCZ PowerStream 520watt ATX Computer Power Supply Review @ Tweaknews.net

Published by Newsfactory 0

To be completely realistic, this in my mind is pretty well as close to a perfect power supply as you can get. It looks great, the build quality is absolutely immaculate and the aesthetics are surprisingly good for "just a power supply". When you also kick in the fact that it has three adjustable voltage nails and rock steady power production and you have a no brainer for your next power supply purchase.

Sapphire X800 GTO Ultimate @ PureOverclock.com

Published by Newsfactory 0

I was already expecting the Sapphire X800 GTO Ultimate to overclock well but my expectations were blown away. This card reached 617 MHz on the core and 1146 MHz on the memory. The memory clock is good, but the core clock is mind blowing. It?s a 54% overclock! I?m not sure if I?ve just been lucky or if this is indicative of what you can expect on these cards, so I tested another X800 GTO I had to hand.

Corsair XMS PC-3500LL Pro 2GB Kit Review

Published by Newsfactory 0

OCIA.net takes a look at the Corsair XMS PC-3500LL Pro 2GB Kit in their latest review.

Those with a good eye will notice that the XP-90C heatsink in this picture is mounted upside-down. The heatspreaders make these modules too tall to fit under the fins and in the dimm slots. Thankfully, it just barely cleared my videocard when mounted upside down, and I was able to fit the modules without issue. This is something everyone should be aware of.
