"The Scythe Yasya High-End CPU Heatsink arrived Technic3D. See you in the following Review the Yasya from Scythe compared with many other Cooler on a Intel Core i7 920. Better than a Mugen 2?"

"Today for review I've got another CPU Cooler from our friends at Thermaltake called the Frio. This cooler is aimed at those that like to overclock their CPUs. The Frio is fairly large but it performs very well especially when running on an overclocked CPU. It comes with two fans that have in-line speed controllers on them, and the cooler itself features five U-shaped heatpipes. I've put it up against my current CPU cooler, the Noctua NH-U12P on my Corei5 750 CPU running at both stock and overclocked speeds and I have to say that I am truly impressed by the performance of this cooler. So read on... "

" Today for review I have a backup solution that I found to be one of the best and probably the easiest system to use for your backups. It?s called the Clickfree Traveler, it?s a 16gb flash storage device to automatically backup your data, it?s the size of a credit card and about as thick as three or four of them so it?s very portable. The Clickfree Traveler has a small USB connection on it that plug into your computer, when plugged in it automatically searches your computer for a number of types of documents and automatically backs them up for you. You literally just plug it in, run the program and let it work, it does everything for you. it does have more advanced options yes, but for a quick and easy backup solution I?ve not found one that is this easy and simple to use. So read on to learn more a bout a backup solution that is so easy even a child could do it?"

"Today for review our friends at USBFever have sent me over two products to take a look at. One is a USB 3.0 PCIE card adapter and the other is the compliment to the card, a USB 3.0 extension cable. You really can't have one without the other right? So read on to learn more about these two products and see how USB 3.0 compares to USB 2.0. "

"USB 3.0 is capable of transferring data faster than the SATA II interface, so for the most part we expect to see performance that is on par with SSDs running similar controllers. So far we have not had luck with this assumption, but NEC has a new driver for their USB 3.0 controller and I am told it fixes the SSD shuddering issue with USB 3.0; we shall find out today.
Previous experience aside, today?s article is all about the new N002 128GB USB 3.0 Portable SSD from A-DATA. A-DATA has been on a roll with their solid state products; just recently we reviewed their first SandForce controlled SSD, only the second we had come across with the new SF-1200 controller. The A-DATA N002 at first glance appears to be a standard SATA II Indilinx Barefoot based solid state drive. Once you get a glimpse of the side, though, you see the USB 3.0 power and data port and that is when things start to get interesting."

We've had the opportunity to review a few tablet / netbook combinations here at HotHardware (the Eee PC T91 from Asus immediately comes to mind), but in the 10+ years of covering computing technology, there has yet to be a tablet as polarizing, alluring, and promising as iPad. We've got one in house and have given in a thorough evaluation. Come on by and check it out...

?USB flash drives have been around for quite some time now. Out of all the drives I?ve ever reviewed my favorite line of drives has to be the Flash Voyager series from Corsair. The main reason is because they are basically indestructible. I take a flash drive with me everywhere and so I need one that is going to take the wear and tear! Corsair first came out with the original Flash Voyager, then the Flash Voyager GT, recently the Flash Padlock 2, and now the Flash Voyager GTR. The GTR is made to be fast boasting speeds of 32MB/s read and 28MB/s write! Corsair was nice enough to send us the 32GB v ersion of the drive so let?s take a look!"

"It's always fun to have a peek at the guts and we are more than happy to crack open the Corsair Force Series 100GB SSD so you don't have to. Peeking inside, the Sandforce SF-1200 controller lies more or less in the middle of the PCB flanked by the Micron MLC-NAND flash chips. Notably absent is the DRAM cache which is unneeded due to Sandforce's DuraClass technology. The cost of the controller is partially offset by the lack of dedicated DRAM which is good because Sandforce controllers are not cheap. We'll see if the absence of this has an impact on performance but this is the reason for the 100GB capacity rather than the 128GB physically on the drive. The layout is the same as other Sandforce-based SSD's we have seen recently but if you look closely, visible is the Corsair brand along the PCB's edge..."

Overclockers around the world use Corsair memory kits for their high-speed performance. Similarly, Corsair SSD storage products have continued this tradition. The Corsair Nova V128 CSSD-V128GB2-BRKT is an Indilinx-ECO Solid State Drive kit that designed to deliver 270 MB/s maximum read speeds and offer 195 MB/s writer performance. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests ACHI speeds for the Corsair Nova-series V128 SSD against the fastest SSDs available.

Today we are taking a look at a PSU from a new sponsor of ours. The well known Cougar have sent us their latest S550W PSU that we are going to be comparing both in performance noise vs some very high end PSU's on the market.

Triple Channel memory kits are a good investment for Intel Core i7 systems.
However, the test system for DDR3 memory modules is based on an AMD Phenom II processor and supports only the Dual Channel mode.
We have some nice Triple Channel kits for the 10 years ocinside.de April 2010 drawing, so it is obvious to test them on the AMD system with three modules, two modules and one module.
Let us have a look, how high the Crucial 3GB PC3-10600 Triple Channel DDR3 kit can be overclocked and if a purchase of the inexpensive Crucial 3x 1GB DDR3-1333 kit can be worthwhile also for an AMD Dual Channel system.

Crucial is popular for good reason, the reviews for their RAM have always been on a positive, with good reliability and overclocking ability. We will see if this is the case for their Value Ram kit as well.

"The EKL Alpenfoehn "Matterhorn" High-End CPU Heatsink arrived Technic3D. See you in the following Review the German "Matterhorn" from the Brand "Alpenfoehn"compared with many other Cooler on a Intel Core i7 920. Ready for the top list again?"

The FX6831-03 on our test bed today features an Intel Core i7 860 processor operating at 2.8 GHz (up to 3.46 GHz with Turbo Boost), a whopping 16GB of DDR3 memory, 1.5 TB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive and an ATI Radeon HD 5850 graphics card with 1 GB of onboard memory.
Priced at around $1,650, the Gateway FX6831-03 is aimed at those who want a very capable gaming system that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. It is more of a "budget" system in the larger arena of gaming rigs, which can cost you upwards of $5,000, but its hardware should be able to deliver enough performance to handle any game you throw at it with little effort. Read on as we put this system through its paces and explore its features inside and out.
