Steve "Rytr" Angelly has put the wraps on his review of the eVGA e-GeForce 6800GT. One of the differences of this card noticeable immediately is found in the software bundle...the full version of Far Cry for FREE! Steve pits this card up against an ATI X800 Pro in games like Call of Duty, Far Cry, UT2K4 and Morrowind as well as a few synthetic benchmarks.

Looking at getting an X800 XT PE? Then take a look over at TrustedReviews as they've reviewed one of the first retail cards and the price is pretty good as well.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the NVIDIA GeForce PCX 5900 (P4 3.4EE vs. 3.6E)

The overclocking results showed great performance increases. Although the temp rose 6°C the heat indictor can be enabled so if the heat goes above the threshold the card will be reset to stock frequencies. The best overclock was 442/821 giving 635 points gain in 3DMark03 and 868 gain in 3DMark2001 SE. Overall the card is an awesome overclocker with its increase of the core of 92MHz and its RAM at an astonishing 271MHz. In conclusion, 16336 in 3DMark2001 SE and 5755 in 3DMark03 will give the user decent gaming in all games available today.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Soft Trading Steelpad S&S.

After reviewing various mouse pads, we have concluded that this mouse pad is the most useful out of all. Importantly what separates it from other mouse pads is its large size and the sleeve to protect it when carrying to events such as LAN parties. In addition as he have discussed, moving the mouse on the mouse pad is like sailing on water. We definitely recommend this mouse pad to anyone who games often.

Nun der Fanless103 ist ein Lüfterloser CPU Kühler aber der Hersteller empfiehlt auch hier (wie bei dem NCU1000) eine Gehäusebelüftung um einen Hitzestau im Gehäuse zu vermeiden. Leider lässt sich der Kühlkörper nicht nach den eigenen Wünschen drehen so wie das beim NCU 2000 möglich ist. Das bedeutet das die Lage des grossen Finnen Kühlkörpers je nach Lage der CPU auf dem Mainboard entweder nach der Gehäuserückwand oder zum Netzteil hin zeigt.

Teschke.de has reviewed a sample of the Thermaltake Fanless 103 cooler.
Here´s a blurb: The computer runs without any problem. The air design case offers all the passiv cooled components a good natural convection. But without a the case it wasn´t possible , because during Performance Benchmarks the CPU and the graphic card showed here and there a few instabillitys. The Noiseblocker S2 Fan caused in Idleuse between 11 and 19 dB, because of the very efficient MSI CorelCell Technology and you could call this system ?silent? Read the whole review over here

Last week, AMD slashed the price of its Athlon 64 3500+ processor by 30%, making the cheapest 939-pin chip more affordable for those saving pennies for a Doom 3-inspired upgrade. There's more to this price cut than the hefty discount, though. Because the 3500+ is AMD's least expensive 939-pin chip, the cut effectively lowers the price of entry for the entire Socket 939 platform.

Is the Athlon 64 3500+ the chip to have for budget-conscious enthusiasts? Is its 3500+ performance rating well-deserved? Read on to find out.

Im grossen und ganzen entspricht der Aufbau dem NCU1000 jedoch sind einige mechanische Unterschiede deutlich wie die bereits erwähnte Doppellagige Heatlane. Die Wärmespreitzerplatte wird jetzt mit dem Alukühler des Kühlkörpers verschraubt so das die Heatlane zwischen diesen beiden liegt und die früher verwendete Anpressplatte ganz entfällt. Ansonsten sind die Finnen wie schon beim Vorgänger an die Heatlane geklebt. Die Verarbeitung und Qualität aller Teile machen einen sehr positiven Eindruck. Mehr bei Teschke.de

AnandTech have thrown up their review of Monarch's Hornet Pro: SFF! Here's a snip.

Unlike a lot of SFF manufacturers, Monarch outfits the Hornet Pro with a standard HSF (Heatsink and Fan). This is in contrast to heatpipe solutions from most other SFF manufacturers, or some variation of that cooling technology. However, using the stock HSF actually isn't too unusual for an LGA775 SFF system, at least the handful that we've encountered. Remember, the force being applied to a Socket 775 Prescott CPU isn't coming from the HSF nearly as much as it used to with Socket 478 Prescotts.

OCIA.net checks out the Thermaltake Tower 112 in their latest review.

Place 4 more nuts on the brackets and tighten each one down carefully. I tightened them diagonally from each other, kind of like you would the lug nuts on a tire. Tighten them slowly; I can't stress this enough. Just do a little bit to each one, that way your safe from cracking the core if you tighten one too tight right off the bat. The manual recommends you put 4 more nuts on top of the existing nuts you just tightened for extra security. I would recommend this as well. Never can be too careful with your processor, especially when your heatsink weighs around 4 lbs.
