      <title>Patriot Viper DDR3-1866 2GB Memory Kit</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;Patriot has been one of the newer companies to come on board at TweakTown to supply us with their high performance memory for testing, and so far we have been pretty impressed with their line of high performance memory. Once again they have come on board to send us their new series of DDR3 modules. Today we have Patriot&#8217;s Viper Fin DDR3 2GB dual channel memory kit.

The sticker on one side of each memory module contains info on the modules. The kit we received was rated for speeds of 1866MHz or 933MHz core speed with timings of 8-8-8-24 at a maximum voltage of 1.9v. The modules are all RoHS which means they are manufactured with lead free solder.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>Kingston HyperX KHX14400D3K2/2GN DDR3-1800 Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;Today we are checking out a 2GB DDR3 RAM kit from Kingston&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s HyperX line. This RAM is a great lower cost kit that performs well and has overclocking headroom. 

When all the testing was finished the Kingston HyperX KHX14400D3K2/2GN kit performed well. It has some headroom left for overclocking and performs well at the programmed SPD settings. The RAM is also a bit cheaper than some other brands of enthusiast DDR3 on the market.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>Scythe Zipang 139MM CPU Cooler Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;Fortunately, the heat sink blew away most of my doubts about the product. The Zipang is shockingly well built and extremely solid. It feels like serious quality, not at all flimsy like many others in this price range. Again, the shear size of the fan speaks for itself; attached resolutely with fan clips. I ran my hand across the the six heat pipes, which connect to the main cooling fins, in not only one section, but two sections, distributed on the bottom and throughout the center (UPHC as dubbed by Scythe). In addition, the Zipang includes a thick sub-heatsink, attached to the main cooling plate directly. This reminds me of the famed, but obsolete Thermal Right XP-120, except on some serious steroids.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>IN-WIN B2 Stealth Bomber Mid-Tower Case Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Prior to arriving on our doorstep, IN-WIN&#8217;s B2 Stealth Bomber Mid-Tower case was already facing the unenviable task of overcoming several pre-conceptions on what we could expect from this case. In the past, our experience with IN-WIN cases has been positive, but impressions of their product line had them pegged as relatively conservative when it came to both styling and price. Add to this a street price at around $50 more than we&#8217;d ever expected to see an IN-WIN case listed for and you can imagine the B2 had some heavy lifting to do in order to win us over. )]]></description>

      <title>Enermax PRO82+ 525 W Power Supply Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;Enermax has recently released two high-efficiency power supply series, MODU82+ and PRO82+. The name implies that products from these two series have efficiency of at least 82%, but Enermax says they actually have efficiency of at least 84%. Both use the same internal project, with MODU82+ models using a modular cabling system. Today we are going to take an in-depth look on the 525 W model from the PRO82+ series (also known as EPR525AWT) and see if it can really deliver its labeled power and efficiency.

      <description><![CDATA[&quot;The NZXT Tempest Case will be a big hit amongst enthusiasts. Affordability is obviously very important to most folks and this case is very well priced considering what's included. Airflow is crucial and with 6 included fans (4x120mm &amp; 2x140mm) this case is king in that department. HDD storage space is also vital and with space for 8 HDDs this is not a problem. Another big plus is it's compatible and tested with many well known water cooling radiators which can be mounted at the top of the case using the pre-drilled holes. This is one of the best mid-tower cases on the market! Watch the video to find out more.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>NVIDIA nForce 7 AMD Series Arrives - ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe Motherboard</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;We compared the nForce 780a SLI to the AMD 780G since we wanted to test out the integrated graphics and PureVideo HD functionality as well as general performance.  It seems to have paid off; the test results were interesting as the HD DVD playback testing over the HDMI output showed that NVIDIA passed up ATI when it comes to offloading the CPU usage. NVIDIA claims that an HT3-based Phenom CPU is required to provide the necessary bandwidth when playing HD video using the motherboard GPU. Our testing showed this is not true, but NVIDIA claims moving from a HT1 processor to HT3 will give the integrated graphics the bandwidth it needs to better render HD content. This is something we will check out later, because if we are impressed with what a 2.5GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core CPU can do with HT1, we'd better be sitting down for some Phenom 50-series action...&quot; )]]></description>

Twin sintered wick copper heatpipes and a total weight of just 214 grams make the TLI-U a capable low mass cooler for weight sensitive applications.

      <title>ASUS M3N-HT 780a SLi Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;The ASUS M3N-HT has many upgradable options such as the ability to run triple SLi if you have the cards available, or Dual SLi if you do not want to spend that much on GPUs. The temperature test with the Mempipe was not the greatest drop in temperature, but when a user is overclocking, every degree is a help to get the maximum out of his system. The Express Gate feature is a noble idea with a wealth of uses, especially if you need to get online to get a driver when you cannot get Windows to operate.&quot; )]]></description>

motherboard, which was Tyan's latest product based upon Intel's newest

      <title>NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI Motherboard Round-Up, Asus, MSI </title>
      <description><![CDATA[It is hard to believe that it has been almost two full years since NVIDIA released a new flagship chipset for the AMD platform.  Since the nForce 590i SLI's official release in May of 2006, NVIDIA has introduced a handful of mid-range and more affordable chipsets for AMD processors, but the 590i SLI was it at the high-end, despite AMD's release of new quad-core Phenom processors and competing 7-series chipsets.

 

Early this year while NVIDIA outlined their plans to mix things up at the high-end of their AMD chipset line-up with the IGP-equipped nForce 780a SLI, but it has taken quite a bit of time to bring that product to market.  Today though, we present to you three nForce 780a SLI-based motherboards (two from Asus and one from MSI), that are sure to pique the interest of all of the AMD fans out there.  For the first time since the Phenom launch, AMD fans will now be able to pair up NVIDIA's flagship graphics configurations with an AMD CPU and exploit all of the features inherent to both.

      <description><![CDATA[&quot;In this review, we will take a closer look at ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe, which is based on Intel's P45 chipset. The difference in performance between the P35 and its precursor P965 was minimal; the question is whether the P45 has any additional performance advantages. An important difference between P35 and P45 is that the latter is made using the 65nm manufacturing process, while the former was made with the 90nm process.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>AMD Phenom X3 processor family performance</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The latest processor series from AMD is a little unusual as it makes use of not one, two, or even four cores, but rather three! That&#8217;s right, the new Phenom X3 carries an unusual core configuration, and I guess the question most of you are probably asking yourselves (as we did) is why? The most reasonable explanation is that this still allows AMD to sell Phenom X4 processors with a defective core, minimizing their loss. Second, it gives some leverage for AMD to compete with Intel&#8217;s dual-core processors, being able to pull the &quot;additional core&quot; card. )]]></description>

      <title>NZXT Alpha Classical Series Mid-Tower Case </title>
      <description><![CDATA[Fortunately, since the PC Enclosure market is roughly organized into three segments; entry/OEM level, mid-range and performance/enthusiast, all you need to do to begin your case search, is to figure out which segment of the market fits your systems needs and zero your search down to that particular segment. Someone looking to spend between $25.00-$75.00 on their future system's enclosure need not waste their time exploring the expensive performance/enthusiast segment of the market, and so forth. Well, if part of your criteria is that you are on a budget or a first time builder, then usually the place to start is at the entry and budget mid-range levels. 

Once there, while parusing the current multitude of styles and designs, your eye would almost certainly be caught by the entry-to-mid-range NZXT offering: the ALPHA. The first time you see it, you'll think, &quot;I bet that's what Darth Vader's desktop looks like.&quot; Today at Benchmark Reviews, we're going to find out if NZXT's latest in their Classic series line is just another....pretty face?

      <description><![CDATA[&quot;Well, I must say I quite like the Thermaltake BlacX Hard Drive Docking Station. Transfer speeds were the same or better than the two traditional style enclosures that it was compared to. The ability to hot swap not only 3.5&quot; hard drives, but 2.5&quot; notebook drives as well, makes this unit a must-have for a computer enthusiast. Most enclosures are built for a certain size drive and take some work swapping them out, but with the Thermaltake BlacX, you just push the eject button and place a new drive into the docking station. This is especially good for transferring files from an old drive to an upgraded one with ease. One thing I liked is the fact that there are no fans, meaning it is very quiet when in use.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>Super Talent Launches MLC SATA-II SSDs for Notebooks</title>
      <description><![CDATA[MasterDrive SSDs use NAND Flash rather than magnetic platters as the storage medium, giving them many advantages over HDDs. These drives have no moving parts, and therefore are completely silent, lighter weight and more reliable than HDDs. Moreover, they consume a fraction of the power of HDDs, meaning they produce less heat and offer longer battery life in mobile computing. MasterDrive SSDs use a SATA-II (3Gbps) interface to support high bandwidth and broad compatibility with motherboards, and have a standard 2.5-inch form factor. Proprietary wear-leveling algorithms extend the life of these SSDs. )]]></description>

They&amp;amp;#39;ve been around for quite a while and have a large selection of PC cases that will fit any budget or type of system build. My experience with their products has always been a good one, and they are a company that is constantly improving their products for the better.  Today for review I&amp;amp;#39;ve got the Thermaltake M9 ATX case, it&amp;amp;#39;s a mid-tower style case that is sort of a basic case but offers some nice features and looks good as well. Aesthetically the M9 is very pleasing with an almost solid black exterior, nice contour lines and an overall sense of style to it. When powered on the blue LEDs of the included fans make a nice contrast with the black and make for a very nice presentation, its also quiet and does a decent job of keeping your system cool.  So continue on to learn more about the Thermaltake M9... )]]></description>

They have branched out into power supplies, CPU coolers, thermal compound, peripherals, flash media, they even have a new phase-change cooler for those extreme overclockers that need sub-zero temps. But, OCZ's forte is still high-performance system memory. Today I will be looking at OCZ's latest offering in the ReaperX series, the ReaperX PC3-1066 (DDR3-1333) 2 gig kit.

      <title>Tuniq Miniplant 950w Power Supply Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Tuniq has recently come out with a new series of power supplies called the &quot;Miniplant&quot;. This new line of power supply comes in three versions: 1200W, 1000W, and 950W. In this upcoming review, we will be going over the 950W Miniplant power supply. 

    So what exactly is the Miniplant, now that we know it isn't a nuclear device? It's a 950W powerhouse packed into a standard-sized PSU enclosure. With this type of power and small footprint, this power supply would be geared to the mobile gamer, who needs that extra bit of wattage for their SLI/CrossFire setups without the extra acreage. Some of the prominent features of the Miniplant are the high efficiency 80+ certification, multiple circuit protection, active PFC, and a plethora of cable connections to keep everyone happy.&#8220;

      <title>Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;Today for review I've got something special, something that no one on this side of the ocean has yet actually, the Noctua NH-C12P CPU cooler. Noctua has honored us with the privilege of being their US launch partner for their new CPU cooler.  The C12P continues Noctua's tradition of striving for performance without sacrificing quality along the way. The C12P is like no other Noctua designed cooler to date, and not much like any other CPU cooler I've even seen actually. It incorporates six heatpipes into a short, fat style body that Noctua calls a 'C-Type' design with airflow gaps that allow cooling of the motherboard components as well. This design allows for a much higher compatibility with more motherboards and PC case configurations, where a tall CPU cooler won't fit the NH-C12P will fit easily. The NH-C12P uses Noctua's own NF-P12 120mm fan for cooling so you know it will be quiet as well. The Noctua NH-C12P is possibly the best cooler on the market today, from my testing and re-testing it beats all others I have for comparison, and that includes names like Thermalright, Scythe, Zalman, and OCZ. I was so surprised by the results of my testing that I re-did the testing all over again to be sure of my results, and they were the same, the NH-C12P is the new king of CPU coolers... &quot; )]]></description>

I&#8217;ve moved into a new place which hasn&#8217;t actually got a phone line running to it. That&#8217;s okay, but I assume the telco company I was dealing with knew what they were doing when they booked a tech to come out and hook my line up. On the first appointment, he decided not to show up. The same thing happened with the second one. )]]></description>

      <title>Cooler Master Hyper Z600 Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;When you take the Cooler Master Hyper Z600 out and get it alone, you are able to see how extremely large this piece of hardware actually is. Not only is it tall, it is also very wide. You can also see that the entire cooler is made out of aluminum, which is a very common choice between all manufactures to use for a cooler nowadays. All four sides of the Hyper Z600 look very similar; actually looking at only the fins, they are aligned the exact same on every side. This heatsink is setup very differently than any of the others that I have used before. There are two heatpipes that attach to the base and soar all the way up to the top of the heatsink and are positioned in each of the four corners of the unit.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>Noctua NH-U12P Heatpipe CPU Cooler</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Noctua has always fascinated me with their cooling solutions.  They take the concept of product refinement to a new level, and often times simply tweak key areas of an existing design rather than reinventing the wheel.  A perfect example of their research and development is found in the NH-U12P CPU cooler.  This new product replaces their older NH-U12F model, and now features a NF-P12 cooling fan.  Through the use of four heat-pipe rods configured in a &quot;U&quot; design, the NH-U12P borrows from the well-established performance record of many top-level coolers.  Additionally, Noctua emphasises the complete experience beyond simply cooling the processor, and optimizes their products to operate with very low noise levels. )]]></description>

      <title>MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<img class="noborder" src='http://www.ocmodshop.com/news/thumbnails/35636.gif' align=right border=0>MSI has done a wonderful job with their K9A2 Platinum motherboard. The performance is higher than the last AMD motherboard we did the Gigabyte GA-M69GM-S2H motherboard back in September. The ability to do Quadfire (Four ATI cards in Crossfire) is excellent. The minor issue with the motherboard utility aside and the problem with setting up RAID aside, this was a joy to work with. The question with the AMD motherboards is always whether it might be better to buy a new Intel CPU with new motherboard rather than buy an AMD board to use the old CPU. For the true hardcore enthusiast, there really isn't an AMD choice that makes sense as Intel Core 2 Quad CPUs dominate the AMD equivalents in performance. AMD competes in price as the lowest priced Intel Quad Core is 10%+ higher priced than the AMD equivalent. )]]></description>

When you take a look at the size difference between the Micro Silencer and the other heatsinks it was compared to, it should not have been able to beat them or even come close. However, again taking a look at its size, it is able to remove the heat off of the processor better than the stock cooler provided by Intel.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>NZXT Tempest Mid Tower Gaming Case</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;The Tempest from NZXT&#8217;s crafted series is a very nice looking computer case. With a current street price of $109 plus shipping it is in the same price bracket as the ever-so-popular $99.99 Antec Nine Hundred hardcore gaming case.To compare these two cases one will find that they are similar in style, but the Tempest has a little more going for it; it can hold up to 8 hard drives and the top of the case is designed so that it can mount some of the most common dual 120mm water cooling radiators to it with out modifications. Buying a case is obviously a personal decision, but it would be hard to go wrong with the Tempest...&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>DFI LANParty LT X48-T2R Motherboard</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;X48 has certainly earned a name for itself now. While Intel has been at the back end of adapting new technologies that actually work (forget the Rambus incident), the X38/X48 chipsets are somewhat ahead of their time.

What can be said for the DFI X48 LANParty board other than yet another success from this once OEM company is that DFI has really taken on a new persona over the last three years. With a huge boost in R&amp;D, DFI are designing boards that are not only functional, but look just as good as they perform.&quot; )]]></description>

The problem I encountered stemmed from the sizable depth of my case, and the PURE's tubing was too short to span the distance between the CPU and the radiator mounted on the hard drive cage. I ended up resting the PURE's main assembly on my RAM slots, so that I could mount the CPU block without stretching the hoses too far.&quot; )]]></description>

Between testing the two Nexus coolers I wanted to find Nexus&#8217; secret; how they were getting the performance out of the XiR Series with such a conventional design. After a little digging I found the secret, a technology called SkiveTek, and it is exclusive to Nexus.&quot; )]]></description>

      <title>Thermolab Nano Silencer CPU Cooler Review LGA775</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Yesterday I looked at the Thermolab Micro Silencer CPU Cooler, today I&amp;amp;#39;ve got the Thermolab Nano Silencer. If you thought the Micro Silencer was small then you&amp;amp;#39;ll be amazed at the size of the Nano Silencer, it is about half the size of the Micro and still performs almost as well. I&amp;amp;#39;m truly surprised by the performance of this cooler when you consider just how small it is. Since it&amp;amp;#39;s so small there should be no problem fitting it into any size case, and there should be no compatibility issues with motherboards either.  So continue on to see a very small CPU cooler that performs just as good, and better than coolers that are twice or three times its size... )]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If you haven&amp;amp;#39;t noticed we&amp;amp;#39;ve done a bit of redesign to the site, though I&amp;amp;#39;m sure you did by now... through the magic of CSS and little HTML thrown in we&amp;amp;#39;ve got a nice new site that I hope works and looks much better. It&amp;amp;#39;s much more streamlined now, and I know I&amp;amp;#39;m happier with it, there are a couple tiny kinks to work out yet, but for the most part it&amp;amp;#39;s complete and will remain this way for quite some time.Some might question the color scheme, but I wanted something different, something that stands out, but yet works well together.I think it&amp;amp;#39;s easier to navigate now with the larger highlighted menu, and I think the important stuff stands out better now. Thre are a couple more things to be added yet, and a few more tweaks but nothing major overall... I&amp;amp;#39;m still finishing up the redesign/reorganization of the &amp;amp;#39;Reviews&amp;amp;#39; page, I like the small pictures better of the individual items, yes I know it loads a bit slow right now, but within the next week or so we will be moving to a new server where things will be much quicker to load overall.I still need to come up with an official logo for the site, but my lack of time has put that to the side for now... )]]></description>

      <title>Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Noctua  (http://www.noctua.at) has honored us with the privilege of being their US launch partner for their new CPU cooler.  The C12P continues Noctua&amp;amp;#39;s tradition of striving for performance without sacrificing quality along the way. The C12P is like no other Noctua designed cooler to date, and not much like any other CPU cooler I&amp;amp;#39;ve even seen actually. It incorporates six heatpipes into a short, fat style body that Noctua calls a &amp;amp;#39;C-Type&amp;amp;#39; design with airflow gaps that allow cooling of the motherboard components as well. This design allows for a much higher compatibility with more motherboards and PC case configurations, where a tall CPU cooler won&amp;amp;#39;t fit the NH-C12P will fit easily. The NH-C12P uses Noctua&amp;amp;#39;s own NF-P12 120mm fan for cooling so you know it will be quiet as well. The Noctua NH-C12P is possibly the best cooler on the market today, from my testing and re-testing it beats all others I have for comparison, and that includes names like Thermalright, Scythe, Zalman, and OCZ. I was so surprised by the results of my testing that I re-did the testing all over again to be sure of my results, and they were the same, the NH-C12P is the new king of CPU coolers...  So, please continue on to learn more about what could possibly be one of the best CPU coolers on the market today... )]]></description>

      <title>Gigabyte DES X48T-DQ6 Motherboard Review</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&quot;INTEL's X48 chipset is the much anticipated follow up to the X38 
chipset....which in turn was the much anticipated follow up to INTEL's 
hugely successful P35 chipset. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or 
industry insider to know that many in the enthusiast community are less 
than thrilled about the &quot;marginal&quot; improvements during the progression 
of chipsets, especially considering the prices some of these 
motherboards are going for (in excess of $300). While this isn't to say 
any of the three chipsets are poor performers, I find it a bit curious 
that INTEL has run these chipsets out as they have, taking the overall 
performance of each into consideration.&quot; )]]></description>

In particular, this GX600X top of the line notebook is a peak performer, with excellent overclocking capabilities as well as lots and lots of features and peripherals; from e-SATA or HDMI connectivity to a special &#8216;Turbo&#8217; button that we found gives a 20% increase in processor speed. The Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity are as to be expected from a high-end notebook, whereas the graphics are truly magnificent in such a small platform. )]]></description>
