3dvelocity.com got a review up fo some very fast and very affordable new memoryfrom GeIL, namely the GeIL Ultra-X Series PC3200 2-2-2-5. It is almost as fast as the Corsair XL Pro at about half the price, not to mention that it overclocks well. Check it out over at 3DV.

The BleedinEdge has just posted an article entitled "Chaintech VNF3-250 Review and Overclocking Guide "! Here's a snip.

The VNF3-250 is a budget board designed with the overclocker in mind. It has most of the necessities that a general user will need, excepting Firewire. The SATA is limited to 2 drives and the NF3-250 chipset used does not have the Gigabit LAN and Nvidia Firewall as found on the NF3-250Gb version. We instead have 10/100 LAN in the form of a Realtek chip that operates off the PCI bus. These "minor" compromises allow the board to be available in the US for about $88.00 and this makes it hard to top in the value arena.

Hardware Pacers has posted a review on the Thermaltake Silent PurePower TWV480 Total Watts Viewer.

As back as some of us can remember, we always tried to bring out our computer at its peak performance which sometimes involved overclocking certain parts. When we overclocked such as the CPU, it drained more power, however we did not how much. With today's new power hungry CPUs and especially with extreme cooling such as with vapor, it is very important to monitor if there is enough power provided for the system. Today Thermaltake introduces a new revolutionary product that displays how many watts are used up on the front panel. As we go further into the review, we will finally see various power consumptions when the computer is idle or fully active at its overclocked state.

Keeping dust from invading your PC is a problem for almost all of us. But what if we could block dust from getting into PCI and RAM slots? Neat? Maybe. Gimmicky? Yeah. Vantec manages to pull something out of the haze that maybe some of you want. An easy dust protector for unused slots, along with UV-reactive properties. I was excited to do this review, and as I had the product finally, time went on, and my excitement faded. See why.

Today VR-Zone Hardware brings you a review of HIS Excalibur Radeon X800 Pro VIVO can be considered as one of the most sought after card now featuring X800 Pro GPU with 256MB GDDR3 memory and VIVO functionality. Certainly, with price lower than that of the X800 XT PE and the ability to turn into a full fledge X800 XT PE will make the hardware enthusiasts to go wild.

I have to admit to you, for ~US$20, you really can't go wrong with the XTunner. Sure there are other options on the market that have a boatload more feature and capabilities, but they also have the much higher pricetag to deal with. The XTunner allows the computer enthusiast to finally get control over their computer's case fans and with the slight touch of a remote control have them adjusted perfectly for their current work environment and load."

DataFuse.net just finished reviewing Coolermaster Aerogate 3!

This isn't the first rheobus/temp measuring device I take a look at, and it won't be my last. This time Coolermaster send me one, the Aerogate III. It is exactly the same device as the Coolermaster Cooldrive 6, with the only exceptance that the Aerogate can't hold a hard disk drive.

Today 3DXtreme is taking a look at a new Case from our friends over at Xoxide, the Xoxide Bio-X Case in black. The Bio-X is a slick looking budget Case with a side panel window sporting the Bio-Hazard logo. Another attractive feature of the Bios-X Case is on the front of the Case where decorative screen covers are backlit with multicoler LEDs that alternate patterns and colors. This Case retails for $49.99 without a Power Supply Unit.

Erfreulicher Weise hat dieser Test unseren Ständigen Behauptungen zum Leistungswahnsinn eindeutig belegt und sogar noch unsere Behauptungen weit übertroffen. Wie auch in vielen Tests gezeigt ist ein 250 W (Qualitätsnetzteil) alle male für einen High End Rechner völlig ausreichend. Auch die Hersteller einer GeForce 6800 Ultra Extrem die Angeblich alleine bis zu 100 Watt verbraucht liegen mit Ihrer Empfehlung eines mindestens 450 Watt Netzteils weit weg von der Praxis entfernt. Zum Review Der Rechner lief unter allen Konfigurationen absolut Problemlos und Stabil. Dank der hervorragenden CoreCell Technologie des MSI Mainboards konnte hierbei der Papst 4412 F/2 GL bis auf 760 U/min gedrosselt werden. Somit kann man den Rechner schon als sehr leise oder kaum hörbar Bezeichnen. Zum Review

OCIA.net has posted a review of the Logitech Z-2200 2.1 Speakers.

Once upon a time, I owned a set of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Speakers. I purchased these speakers just over a year ago, dropping off nearly $ 200 USD for the setup. I was very pleased with the performance of these speakers, that is, until the left channel died a few weeks ago. It is just my luck for the speakers to malfunction just a month shy of the 1 year warranty. So then began my search for a suitable replacement. I had to look no further than Logitech for said replacement. Boasting 200 watt RMS, 400 watt peak power, would the Logitech Z-2200's have what it takes to compete with my beloved Klipsch system, or dare I say, outperform them?

The enthusiast memory market is a tough spot in the industry at this point. It is difficult to stay competitive when every manufacturer is introducing its enthusiast and gamer line of memory products with a few twists and turns. Of course, more competition means better products for end consumers at hopefully affordable prices. We have one such market segment that is starting to reignite with the introduction of Samsung's low latency ICs.
