The six-core behemoth, codenamed Gulftown, based on the 32nm Westmere architecture and it is clocked at 3.33GHz. Thanks to Turbo overclocking 980X can run at 3.6GHz and it supports Hyperthreading. There are a few downsides. The price isn't all that great, but in this market segment that's not a very big deal. The triple channel memory controller officially supports 1066MHz memory, although we're c

As new technologies become available, OCZ continues to expand both our enterprise and consumer SSD lines, and one of our goals is to make SSDs more affordable to end-users. Our new Onyx series SSD does exactly that and is a perfect solution for netbooks, laptops, or home desktop PCs," commented Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group.

Considering that the Extreme Edition CPU’s are targeting overclockers and cost in the neighbourhood of $1,000, many have wondered why Intel hasn’t been able to provide better stock coolers. Well, it seems like Intel has finally listened and created something that at last looks impressive, at least if the cooler pictured on Chinese website Yesky is what will ship with the new CPU’s. With no less t

With SSDs becoming more popular and with newer operating systems finally offering native support, it is only natural that more and more companies would be stepping into the ring with products. Today, HardwareLogic has the Imation M-Class 128GB SSD for review, and is one of Imation's many entries into the SSD market.

Anyone who has had the pleasure of hauling a full tower loaded with expensive hardware to and from LAN parties will appreciate NZXT's approach to their aluminum chassis line and it's latest addition The Panzerbox. The Panzerbox is designed to be light-weight, portable, and support much of the enthusiast hardware popular among gamers and LAN goers. After returning home from a LAN only this past wee

When I think of memory companies that want nothing but speed, only a few really come to mind and one of them would have to be G.Skill. While so many companies these days produce high end memory, we only really see a few leading the pack and when I say that I mean we see the same few companies ahead of everyone with most other companies playing catch up when it comes to speed.

While most compani

In the area of graphics display cards, MSI had great success
with its Lightning series during last year's CeBIT, on offer this year
is a brand new evolution of the product line, represented by the R5870
Lightning. This new product not only inherits the same high
performance of its predecessors but also adopts a number of
unprecedented initiatives in graphics display technology. It is a

Consumers are searching for affordable power supplies that can get the job done, but don’t mind sacrificing features like modular cabling, flashy paint jobs, and LED cooling fans. Thanks to our friends over at CoolerMaster, we may have a power supply solution worth consideration. Let’s take a very close look at the Coolermaster GX Series 750 Watt Power Supply and see if it’s right for you.

The electrical performance of the Thermaltake Toughpower XT 775W with excellent DC voltage regulation from zero to full load, low noise levels and efficiency levels peaking at 88% put it up there with the best. There have been some design changes on the new range of Thermaltake Toughpower XT power supplies and the use of DC to DC converters for the +3V3 and 5V rails have no doubt helped in the pro

Antec’s Performance One series cases have been a staple in the computer case industry for quite a while. I know quite a few people that have had their Antec P180 and P182 cases for years now. Antec has once improved their current Performance One cases with the new P183. It features new front door vents, air filters on the entire front of the case and more room for longer power supplies. Besides al

Between the Radeon HD5850 and HD5770, there exists a large gap both in terms of performance and price in ATI's lineup. Quite simply, the Radeon HD5830 is designed to fill that gap. PowerColor has taken the reference 5830, slapped on a custom heatsink, given it a mild factory overclock and a corresponding PCS+ moniker, and offered it to consumers for $250 USD.

Here's Lian Li being Lian Li. The PC-T1 is an open mini-ITX chassis, which is one of the most wacky cases on the planet: it looks like a spider when assembled. Being the case that it is, we wanted to look into the belly of the beast and see if the menacing looks are coupled with the kind of engineering required to pull such a design off. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/LianLi/PC-T1R

In recent weeks, ATI has continued to roll out its “Evergreen” Radeon HD 5 series range of DirectX 11 graphics cards. The Nvidia v. ATI rivalry that has existed in previous GPU ranges has been a non-starter with ATI able to set out its performance, mainstream and lower end segment cards without response from Nvidia. Indeed, the Fermi cards are not due to hit the markets until late March, six month

It's been a while since we've seen a CPU cooler at Bigbruin.com, but today we have one of the more popular coolers on the market - the Cooler Master V8. Even though the V8 was launched in June of 2008, it is only now beginning to see its true potential thanks to the popularity of the Intel Core i7 and i5 processors, and the tremendous amount of heat they can produce.

The new G.Skill DDR3 modules are quite interesting for overclockers. They offer frequencies and oc-options other modules can't. And
they do that for an affordable price.

With the GeForce GTX 275 Lightning MSI shows a card where
absolutely no compromises hae been made. The card should be faster and
quieter than every other 275 GTX. The card is everything else but not
reference design and especially the ten plus two phase power design
should be able to convince enthusiasts and overclockers.

ASUS has released what seems to be one of the best custom designed HD 5850s. The card which supports DirectX 11 and Eyefinity is extremely quiet, offers better price/performance than the AMD reference design, comes with an overclock out of the box and supports voltage control via SmartDoctor.

I haven’t had the opportunity until now to actually have a Raidmax product in my hands. I do remember looking deeply some time ago at their cases when I bought my first case outside of an OEM built computer. At that time I passed for some reason or another, but I am here today to give Raidmax a fair unbiased shakedown, as I really have nothing to go on for build quality or feature expectations. Wh
