The feature rich DFI Lan Party NFORCE II Ultra B is on the test bench at HTPCnews.com today with a little twist. They don't look at how well it can be used as a Lan party box, but instead as a full featured Media Center motherboard. Items like real time encoding of Dolby Digital 5.1, excellent playback of 1080i video clips, passive cooling, and a great deal of HDD connectors make this motherboard one that they just had to take a look at. For more information on this latest motherboard from DFI, check out their review.

If the speed of a graphics card depended on how many words were in its name, the Gainward PowerPack! CoolFX Ultra/2600 TV-DVI-DVI would probably be the fastest card on the planet. Gainward?s CoolFX line of cards tailors to those for whom having the latest kit just isn?t enough. These individuals simply must own the absolute fastest stuff out there regardless of the price.

To scale these heights, the CoolFX doesn?t bother with your run-of-the-mill air cooling but instead uses water cooling to keep excessive heat under control. Water cooling brings two key advantages ? first, it keeps the card cooler than any conventional fan, enabling it to be run at much higher frequencies. It?s also much quieter, so you can get the benefit of higher clocks without any of the noise intrusion of a high-rpm fan.

OCIA.net checks out the Swiftech 8600 Liquid Cooling Kit in their latest review.

The three cooling blocks provided in this unit provide cool water to your CPU, GPU, and northbridge chipset. The standard 8600 kit only comes with the CPU block, but the other two may be added onto the order, and believe me, they are well worth it. Having a cool CPU is worthless if you can?t keep the chipset cool, which is the link between the memory and CPU.

A few months ago this video card would have been considered top of the line or close to it, but with the emergence of the ATI X800 series and GeforceFX 6800 series it has been bumped into the mainstream market. As such, pricing for this video card is not much more than that of the NVIDIA 5700 or ATI 9600XT making it an even more attractive buy considering its performance.
