News: HIS Radeon HD5750 iCooler IV Video Card Benchmarking

Posted by: THRASHER2 on Fri Jan 01 2010 11:53 am PST Comments (0)

"Pulling the cooler off of the HIS Radeon HD5750 iCooler IV video card you can see that is made solely out of aluminum. In the current times of heatpipes and even the common use of copper for heat dissipation I was a bit surprised to see an aluminum heat sink on a non-reference card. According to HIS the iCooler IV is designed for faster transfer of the heat out of the gpu. The noise level of the iCooler IV is rated for under 30dB's. We will check out how well the iCooler IV works in a bit. First, let's take a look at all the goodies you get with your purchase..."

News: Asus EAH5870 Radeon HD 5870 Review

Posted by: THRASHER2 on Fri Jan 01 2010 11:47 am PST Comments (0)

Immediately upon its introduction, the ATI Radeon HD 5870 took the title for the fastest, single-GPU on the market. There was simply no other single-GPU that could touch it, not only in terms of performance, but in regard to features as well. And at the time, virtually all of AMD's strategic board partners were at the ready with products based on the Radeon HD 5870 reference design.

Unfortunately, due to some yield issues at TSMC, the foundry that manufactures the actual chips at the heart of the card, supplies of Radeon HD 5870 (and Radeon HD 5850) cards quickly dried up. AMD had the fastest, most feature-rich single GPU on the market, and it was incredibly difficult to buy one for a while there.

The supply issues have since cleared up, however, and Radeon HD 5870 cards are easily attainable once again. With that in mind, we're taking a look at Asus' take on AMD's flagship single-GPU, the EAH5870. Like essentially all of the other Radeon HD 5870 cards currently available, Asus' offering is based on AMD's reference design. But Asus does have a couple of tricks up its sleeve that help differentiate the EAH5870 from the also-rans. Read on and take a look for yourself...

News: Wacom Intuos4 and Bamboo Tablets Review

Posted by: THRASHER2 on Fri Jan 01 2010 11:46 am PST Comments (0)

"Both of these products definitely had their pros and cons, but I
think in the right hands both of them would work beautifully in any
professional or consumer-level graphics environment. Overall, the
performance king was definitely the Intuos4, but I have to give an honorable
mention to the Bamboo because it definitely had many of the basic features I
think consumers will be comfortable with."

News: Zalman MS1000-HS2 Professional Tower @ Pro-Clockers

Posted by: THRASHER2 on Fri Jan 01 2010 11:46 am PST Comments (0)

Zalman is a company that is known for putting out quality equipment. Their coolers are top notch, their front panel fan controllers are attractive and the GT1000 case was absolutely one of the strongest cases put out by any company. The GS1000 was not too shabby of a case either. It was one of the first gamer/enthusiast cases to offer a SATA backpane for hard drive installation. Zalman is at it again. Zalman is hoping to wow its supporters with a new case with smooth lines and little curves. All the while offering the same functionality of the GS1000. This new case is labeled MS1000. The MS1000 comes in two versions as well as two different colors. The two versions are the HS1 and the HS2, which we will be reviewing today. The colors that are offered are black and white.

News: In Win Ammo 2.5-inch HDD RFID Enclosure @ Legit Reviews

Posted by: THRASHER2 on Fri Jan 01 2010 11:45 am PST Comments (0)

"In Win has definitely developed a unique product that will likely appeal to a many first-person shooter gamers. As pictured above, the Ammo enclosure was closely modeled after the ammunition cartridge of an AR-15. Even the groves down the cartridge are in similar positions. Even one end of the Ammo enclosure is angled in order to give the illusion that the clip is curved when, in fact, it is not. Besides having a uniquely themed product with a practical purpose, In Win also brought data security to the table. This will no doubt be an important feature to this market as most anyone would rather know their data is secure in case the enclosure was lost or stolen. Without an included RFID tag, the drive is locked down and does not even show up in Windows until the enclosure is unlocked..."
