Zalman ZM400-APS PSU @ Datafuse.net

Published by Newsfactory 0

Here we are once again with a PSU review. Second one this month. When seeing zalman jump from the 300Watt PSU to the 400Watt one, I was a bit scared they would directly introduce a 500Watt PSU. I'm glad they didn't, instead they seemed to have updated an already top notch product the ZM400A-APF.

Corsair TwinX1024-3200LLPro 1Gig DDR400 Dual Channel Memory Kit @ Tweaknews

Published by Newsfactory 0

Being one of the premier performance memory manufacturers in the world, Corsair provided Tweaknews.net with a 1Gig sample of their representative TwinX PC3200LL PRO Dual Channel DDR memory to test. The version of the DDR400 standard boasts low latency timings of 2-6-3-2, but what really separates it from the pack is the inclusion of activity LEDs which would be a great addition to a windowed case. Although this memory is meant to be used in its stock speed, we wouldn't be called tweakers if we didn't try to see what extra free performance we could squeeze out of this unique purchase. As you will see later on in the review, I was able to push this memory to some nice speeds. Onto the review.....

Hey it's a big market and NVIDIA sells more low- and mid-end products then high-end these days. So why not ? People want to know. So today dear friends we will be testing the all new and completely low-end product the GeForce FX 5500.

Read the review to find out how it stacks up against the competition.

Arctic Cooling Super Silent 4ProL Heatsink Review

Published by [NT] 0

OCIA.net checks out the Arctic-Cooling Super Silent 4ProL heatsink in their latest review. Below is a direct quote from the review:

"Installtion of the 4ProL was one of the easiest I've ever done, even easier than Intel's retail P4 heatsink, which has been praised by many, including myself. Installation of the 4ProL was as easy as adding some thermal compound to the processor, placing the heatsink between the retention bracket, and pushing the 4 clips onto the 4 retention posts. The clips only require a little pressure to seat them into position, and makes the heatsink seat firmly to the processor, without using excessive pressure."

PCI Power

Published by Newsfactory 2

Just got word from my good mate Anton Nilsson over at Nordic Hardware that their Radeon 9200 and GeForce FX 5200 PCI-Express card reveiew is out!

We rarely test really cheap graphics cards here at NH. We often stick to cards in the range $180 to $700. Today is an exception; we are testing two PCI based graphics cards. The two cards are Radeon 9200 and GeForce FX 5200. In other words they aren't the fastest cards on the market.

OCZ 3500 Platinum @ DriverHeaven

This time I?m putting some CAS2 rated 3500 DDR into an watercooled P4 northwood system and seeing just what gains/timings and figures can be achieved by overclocking this ram with some high voltages. My reason for choosing this particular ram was due to the fact id heard a lot of good things about it in an overclocked environment.

nForce3 250GB

Published by Newsfactory 0

The FiringSquad have thrown up their review of Nvidia's nForce3 250GB motherboard! Here's a snip.

Much like the original nForce chipset, NVIDIA?s early 64-bit chipset efforts got off to a slow start with nForce3 150 and nForce3 Pro 150. The chipset lacked native Serial ATA support, relying instead on an external controller. In comparison, VIA?s K8T800 was more feature-rich and offered better performance, making it the early favorite among Athlon 64 users.

Kingston HyperX PC4000 1Gig Dual Channel Memory Kit @ Tweaknews.net

Published by Newsfactory 0

When it comes to memory, there are several manufacturers on the market to cater to your current requirements. But, if you are on a mission to find "quality" memory, there are only a handful that you should be selecting from and I can assure you, Kingston should definitely be on your short list.

The PC4000 dual channel kit reviewed today performed exactly as it should with no instability or problems of any kind. Just insert them in your motherboard, adjust your BIOS settings accordingly, and enjoy the performance.

Thermalright SLK-948U Heatsink Review @ CoolTechZone

Published by [NT] 0

Quote from article:
Cooling is one of the major concerns for an enthusiast. We like to overclock our processors to ultimate speeds but for those of us who can't afford water-cooling kits, it's hard to reach the unbelievable speeds. For affordable thermal solutions, we turn to air-based heatsinks. We want something that works just as well as some of the affordable water-cooling kit.
