Lapping Guide @ Modsynergy.com

"Ever heard about lapping? Well lapping is a process of making a heatsink flat. We want the metal-to-metal contact between the heatsink and CPU die and/or chip to become one..."

Samsung 2232GW 22-inch Widescreen LCD Review @ ModSynergy.com

"LCD’s dominate the market, there’s really no denying that fact.  There are LCD’s displaying images everywhere you go from the school, the post office, the stadium, literally everywhere.  This technology has been around for a long time and yet continues to advance year after year.  Samsung, a leader in LCD technology has been a manufacture that most consumers know they can trust when faced with purchasing decision.

Recently Samsung has unveiled a line of monitors that follow the current trend of style; classy design and yet fully capable of anything you throw at it.  These monitors have been released under the Art Series in Hong Kong and have won awards related to design (the iF Design Award) and have captured what it means to “purchase difference” according to Alvin Lam, Samsung Electronics Hong Kong Monitor Marketing.

Today I will review the Samsung 2232GW 22-inch Widescreen LCD monitor and share with you whether or not it’s something worth considering for your next LCD purchase."

CoolJag Falcon 92 Cu HeatPipe Heatsink Review @ ModSynergy.com

"When I sit back and reflect on processor technology, it’s amazing how far it has advanced over the years, and it seems like it’s done so with a quantum leap; single core processors, dual core and now quad core CPU’s.  It’s just really amazing how fast and how soon all these advancements have come.  Microprocessor makers have tried to alleviate the problem associated with making faster processors (that is heat) with shrinking the die of the cores and for the most part it has worked to keep maximum thermal temperatures at a workable level, although having a quad core will push any heatsink to its limits, especially once overclocked.

Today I will be reviewing the CoolJag Falcon 92 Cu Heatpipe Heatsink.  The Falcon 92 Cu is CoolJag’s latest offering to both Intel and AMD users and will be our first CoolJag product review.  And having tested this heatsink in our new workbench consisting of the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 spitting out easily 100W of juice we’ll see if this heatsink can cool down or crashes and burns.  Oh yeah, overclocked results @ 3.0GHz are included (spitting out well over 100 watts of heat) so read on to see how the Falcon performs."

ASUS LS201 20" LCD Monitor @ HotHardware.com

"Earlier this year we stumbled upon a widely circulated You Tube video (at least in tech circles), in which a man is seen ruthlessly abusing a poor LCD monitor. The protagonist starts by letting a child draw on the screen with a black permanent marker. Taking matters into his own hands, the man then proceeds to take a pen-knife to the surface of the screen, followed by multiple strikes with a hammer.  The abuse of a perfectly good LCD monitor isn't what struck us about this particular video, however. The unique element that caught our eye and set it apart from similar videos is that the LCD monitor survived the episode completely unscathed.  The monitor was ASUS' LS201. After seeing the video, we had to test this screen for ourselves."

GlacialTech Igloo 5750 Silent CPU Cooler @ Legit Reviews

"The GlacialTech Igloo 5750 is a different design from the typical heat-pipe coolers on the market today for a number of reasons. Most obvious is that it is not a tower cooler. One of its other features worth mentioning is that it is quiet for an active cooler; at 15 dBA you would have a hard time hearing this fan inside any case. If you are looking for silence from your PC this should be on your list of CPU coolers to purchase..."

OCZ Quad 2Gb Memory Kit Review - 8Gb of Platinum Goodness @ Madshrimps

"With the introduction of Vista, 2 GB of memory suddenly seems insufficient. Many people have made the jump to 4 GB lately, but on a 32Bit operating system, more is definitely overkill. Today we happen to have a 64 bit operating system installed on our test system, so there's no stopping us from fully loading our P35 motherboard with... 8 GB of memory. And we even managed to overclock it!”

Sparkle 8800GTS 512 MB @ Bjorn3D

"Today we are reviewing a NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB card from Sparkle. Some of you might remember that there also are 8800GTS cards with 320MB and 640 MB. And this is where the confusion starts. The 8800GTS 512 MB is using the newer G92 chipset while the 8800GTS 368MB and 640MB are using the older G80 core. The G92 core is much more efficient and has already proven itself on the 8800GT. In fact, it is the same GPU used in the new GeForce 9800GTX cards. This of course will just confuse buyers who might think that a 640Mb 8800GTS must be better than a 512 MB 8800GTS. It is extra unfortunate as the GeForce 8800GTS 512 MB turns out to be a GPU that offers a lot of bang for the buck."

NZXT Tempest Mid-Tower Review @ Techgage

“Finding a quality mid-tower for under $100 doesn't happen to often, but NZXT looks to hit the mark with their Tempest. It offers plenty of space (and even support for eATX), four large pre-mounted fans, an intuitive internal design and sharp looks, making it a wise choice for any new build."

Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator Review @ ThinkComputers.org

"The Razer Piranha Gaming Communicator headset is perfect for gamers of all types. This headset is geared towards gamers, but in my mind, is perfect for anyone looking for a quality headset with a quality microphone, especially those who use voice chat on the PC. Most of the headsets that I have had have been rather uncomfortable for extended periods of time, but the Razer Piranha is different; it provides comfort for extended periods of use. If you're in the market for a new headset the Piranha is definitely something you should consider.”

EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT AKIMBO 1GB Video Card Review

"The EVGA 8800GT 1GB AKIMBO is an interesting card in many respects. The performance is not up to the 9800GTX but it is close being that the two cards share the same video chip just with 16 SPs disabled. The main selling point of this card is the AKIMBO cooling solution as it kept the card noticeably cooler during operation, about 15-20C cooler according to NVIDIA’s temperature monitoring software."

Thermaltake M9 Mid Tower @ Pro-Clockers

"The M9 is a mid-size tower that is filled with cooling inspirations. There are four different versions of the M9 which means there may well be one to suit you. There are models with and without the side panel window. And if you are not looking to use some high powered power supply each of the fore mentioned models can be had with 400 watt power supplies. Thermaltake is one company that is known to try and provide products that suit all individuals no matter your budget, taste or needs."

Foxconn X38A Motherboard Review @ Legit Reviews

"The Foxconn X38A motherboard offers everything you could want out of an Intel X38 Express chipset based board. After you get past all the standard X38 features such as dual Lan, HD audio, PCIe-Gen 2.0, the board goes the extra mile of adding in dual ram compatibility. This lets you take advantage of great DDR2 prices right now, with the added piece of mind of future upgradeability when DDR3 prices stabilize. When you factor in that this comes at no apparent cost to performance, you can’t really ask for more..."

Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2008 Suite @ Bjorn3D

"Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2008 is a program suite from Paragon that promises to make everything around the hard drive easy. It can defrag your hard drives, make it easy to take an image and restore it and even make sure that any data you want removed stays removed. After using it for over a month my personal feeling is that this is a great toolkit for both novice and experienced users. Read on to find out why."
