Last week NVIDIA announced two new graphics cards. The 7900 GS was a product targeted at the mainstream users with a fantastic price of 199 USD. There is however a tiny gap in the market against ATI that needed to be filled, a product that competes with ATI's 299 USD Radeon X1900 XT 256MB. So NVIDIA released a 299 USD 512MB card. Suffice todat that today Guru3D is testing the all new GeForce 7950 GT 512MB. A card that comes with a stackload of features, performance and fun. Oh an hey ... finally a HDCP compatible graphics card.

ASUS is one if not the most known of all motherboard manufacturers. And when it comes to Intel based boards some say they can?t be beat. From the days of the P5P series to the newer P5W DH, they are showing they are the name in Intel compatible motherboards. So, today I am proudly reviewing the P5W DH Deluxe from ASUS. Is it the board of choice? Based on all the features it really could be.

Although PCI Express is now easily the most prevalent interface for new graphics boards, there are still plenty of people out there with AGP-based systems, many of whom are now seeking an upgrade to their graphics capabilities. Elite Bastards take a look at Galaxy's bridged to AGP variant of the GeForce 7600 GS to see what it has to offer.

The ZEROtherm CF800 did a great job of taming a very hot processor while keeping noise to an absolute minimum. I like it. A lot. If Intel shipped one of these with their retail CPUs, just imagine how much customers would appreciate it. This cooler does what the Intel OEM cooler is supposed to do, but doesn't.

I have being doing reviews for Scythe products for some time now. Most of the products have been very good products. One that comes to mind is the Ninja, a cooler that would be included on anybody?s top ten list. And then there is the Mine, another cooler that is a awesome low noise solution for people needing it. But today, I can honestly say that their newest cooler will put the these coolers to shame.

Thermalright is back with their first high performance tower heatsink, designed to work with high speed fans it's destined to keep your CPU running cool, let's find out how it does.

Diagnosing a faulty power supply can be a difficult process, but thanks to Casebuy in the past couple of years it's been made an easier process thanks to their EZ Power Supply Tester.

Recently they've released their third incarnation of the tester with added improvements called the EZ Power Supply Tester 3. The new tester now features an LCD screen and can now display voltage within +/- 0.1V.

If you ask me, it?s a bit interesting ? the idea that nobody up until now has really addressed the specific networking needs of a gamer. Instead, they?ve been forced to use the likes of on-board networking or mainstream solutions from add-in board companies like Linksys, Netgear and others.

3D Rocket II uses axial flow fin, along with its bigger in size, it creates larger wind flow than 3D Rocket I?s central flow fin. Because of the fin, with the same fan speed, 3D Rocket II creates 3 times larger wind flow, and much lower noise...

Research In Motion's new Pearl is the first BlackBerry to ship with a camera and music/video players. The camera, music, and video players are all of startlingly high quality, but we did see some annoying JPEG artifacting when snapping photos, and you can't search by album, artist, or title when playing music. A quad-band worldphone, the Pearl has strong reception and you can store files in the 64MB of onboard memory.

Four PEG slots you say? Why, yes! Now, Rys is a hard man to please, so when you see words like 'the perfect mainboard' in his writing, it's highly likely that we've found something rather special. The P5W64 WS Professional is indeed very special.

Did the Pininfarina hold up to my tire-kicking? Yes, it did, and overall, I'm very impressed with the case. The fit and finish is excellent, the design is well-thought out, and like an exotic car, nothing is included that doesn't benefit from actual usage. A sleek look, useful PCI card retention, and swing-out case sides make this one a winner.

Razer has become a powerful name in gaming peripherals with cutting-edge technology such as their gaming mice, surfaces, accessories, keyboards and audio products. Professional gamers, to enthusiasts and you're grandma can all agree on one thing, Razer products kick ass.

We've already seen ATI make its first moves in this seasonal ritual, lifting the curtains on the Radeon X1950 XTX and its more affordable cousin, the Radeon X1900 XTX 256MB. Now it's Nvidia's turn to respond with a new GeForce that knows one very cool trick: how to perform like a $300 card while selling for about two hundred bucks. This new GeForce 7900 GS will make your phosphor glow in successive colors almost as rapidly as the GeForce 7900 GT, but it runs quieter and costs less. This isn't exactly a revolutionary upsurge in graphics power, but it's better than burning your hand on a Pentium 4.

If you're a casual gamer building up a Home Theater PC, there are several things you want from a graphics board. Galaxy's GeForce 7300 GT Silent aims to fill all of these requirements, but how does it fare? Elite Bastards take a look.

Having previously reviewed Apack's ZEROtherm BTF-90, I expected good performance from their BTF-80 cooler as well. I wasn't disappointed. While it is much lighter than the copper BTF-90, it's no lightweight when it comes to performance. It is also relatively quiet and the red LEDs reflecting off of the aluminum fins give it a distinctive look.
