The CompuStocx CEC3 PC3-10600 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel memory kit is equipped with heat spreader and the design is looking very nice.
In the current OC review the 2x2GB DDR3 memory kit was extensively overclocked to test the results of these CSX OC modules inside and outside the specifications.

The Powermat portable wireless charging mat can greatly reduce the number of chargers you need to power your devices... A good thing for when you are at home, and an even better thing when you are traveling. Instead of a jumble of cables and power bricks, you might only need the portable Powermat and its accessories packed neatly into its case.

?Today, I will be looking at a cooler from a company I previously haven?t experienced, the Titan Skalli. Titan Technology Ltd. has been around for over 20 years, founded in Taiwan in 1989 under the name ?Sogic Computer Co?, but only recently have they entered the serious enthusiast market. The Skalli is a small-footprint dual heatpipe cooler with a non-standard 100mm fan. Will the Skalli keep my i7 870 nice and cool? Read on to see!

?The Box Office is a very simple media player that plays a substantial diversity of media formats and brings them into your Home entertainment area with relative ease. With support for the most popular media formats media players like the Box Office is a very handy device or at least a cheaper alternative compared to building an HTPC.?

"There's been word floating around that the HD 5670 is quite the overclocker with it running into no problems achieving the maximum GPU clock of 850MHz that is offered via the Overdrive functionality inside the Catalyst driver suite.
With our Sapphire HD 5670 sitting around and not doing a whole lot, we thought it was time to throw it back into the testbed and see if we could not only max out the overclock of the card via the Overdrive feature, but also see what kind of performance increase we can achieve from doing so."

"Enter the AMD Athlon II X4 635 processor, a mainstream quad-core chip clocked at 2.9GHz and priced at just $120 bucks. Compatible with socket AM3 and AM2+ motherboards, the AMD Athlon II X4 635 is set to be the darling of media PC, home FTP server and budget-minded home PC builders."

"Come with us as we take a look at the Acer P235H 23 inch LCD
monitor. To enthusiasts, this may seem like your average-joe flat screen
monitor, while to many mainstream PC users this would be a dramatic
upgrade. Check this monitor out with us as we give it a thorough
once-over. You never know, it may surprisingly have a bit to offer that
you weren't expecting."

Gaming performance aside, DirectX 11 support is not very important at this moment due to the scarcity of DX11 games but as we move further into 2010 and into 2011 we will see many games with support for it. In any event the HD 5670 is an excellent choice for those wanting DX11 support from an under $100 video card and a great choice for those wanting three monitor support from an inexpensive card and Home Theater PC owners wanting a modern video card that will fit easily into their cases.

"By the look of things, it's very much the same chassis as the Raven 2 reviewed earlier, but aimed at a bit different target
audience."

"Take for example the Arctic Cooling Alpine 11 Pro heatsink Frostytech is testing today. It's a dead simple extruded aluminum cooler, good for mainstream Intel socket 775 and 1156 processors with a TDP up to about 90W. The patented Arctic Cooling 95mm suspended fan spins at 500-2000RPM, but from the test results we've seen it's best to keep the PWM fan spinning at full tilt."

"With everything we have out there today that is USB it can be hard to find a free USB port at times. Depending on which motherboard you?ve got you might be very limited to USB connections and you?ll end up having to swap things out to free one up. NZXT has come up with a solution to that in the form of what looks like a mini circuit board that has two standard USB ports on it along with three more USB headers as well giving you a total of eight more available USB connections. This product doesn?t have any fancy name, nor does it need one, it?s called the IU01 USB Expansion Board and that pretty much describes what it is. Don?t let it?s plain name fool you though, this in one product that I can honestly recommend you buying, it?s well worth it. So read on to learn more about one of the simplest but possibly the best and most useful PC accessories on the market today.. "

" Last week I posted about the new Arctic Cooling Arctic Sound Ear Buds that were just launched, and today I have my full review of them for you. In my time with them I used them with both my PC and my Zune MP3 player and I found that they?re honestly not that bad. They are very nicely made, they?re lightweight and include different sizes of ear buds to fit anyone?s ears. The included case is very nice as well, it will certainly protect them from damage and getting tangled up with your stuff. I decided to see how they compared to a few other sets I?ve got on hand from Radius, Ultimate Ears and Future Sonics and I was pleasantly surprised by these ear phones from a company that specializes in cooling. One might think that a cooling company might not know much about sound, but it seems they?ve done their homework on the subject and come up with a decent product in both design and performance."

Its sharp design, surprising utility, and inspired suite of touchscreen applications makes it an ideal choice for any family looking to place a stylish computer in a common area."
