ASUS U-75HA 750 W Power Supply Review

“ASUS is the number on motherboard manufacturer in the world and they’ve been expanding to other business for several years, recently reaching the power supply market. Though ASUS power supplies are not sold in the US, this didn’t prevent us from getting our hands on their 750 W product, which is sold throughout the world. Like the 500 W (P-50GA) and 650 W (U-65GA), models that we’ve already reviewed, this unit is manufactured by Delta Electronics. Does this power supply carry ASUS high-quality standards? Let’s see.”

Steelseries 7G Review – XSReviews

Quote: “We review a lot of peripherals here at XSR, and over the years we’ve noticed the growing trend of steadily increasing prices with gaming mice costing upwards of £50 now. Still though, they aren’t the most expensive input accessory you can use with your PC, with specialised keyboards getting close to the £100 mark.

Today, we’re reviewing just such a keyboard, this one from Steelseries. It’s not packing a tonne of gaming macro buttons, but it does have full metal internals, and its endorsed by a multitude of gaming professionals around the world. On the surface it doesn’t look like a gaming keyboard, but with all its accolades, there must be something interesting about it. Let’s check it out.”

Spyder3Express Monitor Color Calibration Device

Quote:
“Most people are very happy with their monitors and the colors they see, but then again most people use only one monitor. I’ve got a three monitor setup and I can see the differences between the colors of the monitors, taking a picture from one monitor to the other can reveal sometimes drastic color differences. It bothers me and I was looking into getting some sort of color calibration device, but luckily Datacolor sent me over their new Spyer3Express for review. The Spyder3Express will automatically adjust the colors of your monitor to what they should be, I was amazed at the difference before and after calibration, I knew something was funky, but the Spyder3Express fixed it for me quickly and easily. ”

Left 4 Dead 2 Demo AMD and NVIDIA Graphics Performance

Quote: “If you are like most people and have a monitor that runs at
1920×1200 or 1920×1080 then obviously you are going to be able to play L4D2
without any issue using the lowest end cards tested here that will start at
about $130. If you are one of the lucky few that owns a 30″ monitor and can
play at 2560×1600 then you’ll need to step a little for the best experience
but you should not HAVE to pay more than $250 or so for the privilege.”

nMediaPC HTPC 8000 Wooden HTPC Case

Quote: “The HTPC 8000 from nMediaPC is different to say the least. With its almost all wood construction it’s unlike any case I have ever had. With its style being that of something out of the 1940’s it might look a little out of place in most of today’s sleek AV setups. I have had more than one my woodworking nut friends say they loved the looks of it, and I had several people ask me where I got the old radio. That got me thinking that it would be a nice case for a rec-room, man cave, behind a bar, or could even make for a nice garage juke box…”

Sandisk UltraBackup USB Flash Drive

Quote: We all have at least one type of portable memory storage unit laying around the house filled with music, work, pictures, videos or what have you. But now those guys from Sandisk have created the first flash drive with a “Backup” button. With no wires and no fuss, see if they made a breakthrough in storing important electronic data safely and with ease.

Xigmatek Balder SD1283 HDT CPU Cooler

QUOTE: “Xigmatek has been gracious enough to allow me to test quite a few of their coolers. All of the usual suspects cross my mind; the 1283’s, 1284’s and even the Thor’s Hammer. In between there have been many variations of each, except for the Hammer, mostly consisting in the beginning with a different fan. More recently, Xigmatek had gone the way of various Nickel plated coatings to enhance and refresh the coolers line. This time I am happy to say it isn’t either of those reasons that has me excited about this cooler.

This time around, it is a bit more in depth than the more obvious increase of the CFM of the fan, or adding coatings for both performance and oxidation factors, as well as making cleaning a bit easier in my opinion, of which this new CPU cooler does have both. It has also got a more appealing figure. Xigmatek has provided a uniquely shaped 1283 cooler that is appealing to me, as it is a change from the same old thing.”

iXBT Labs Review: ASUS P7P55D Deluxe, EVO Motherboards

If you have to choose between these two models, it’s really easy. Deluxe has a tad better power supply system and a formally better audio codec. But EVO offers eSATA on the rear panel. You have to agree that the boards are very similar. The key difference is TurboV Remote that is not available for EVO.”

AMD Athlon II X4 630 Extreme Overclocking with LN2 by Deanzo

QUOTE: “For those that do not know me, my name is Deanzo. I am an extreme overclocker from New Zealand who competes in online and live global competitions hosted by the likes of GIGABYTE and MSI. What that means is, I like to torture hardware with sub zero cooling; dry-ice and liquid nitrogen (LN2) are my preferred weapons of choice to obtain the highest levels of performance.

For my first article here at TweakTown I am putting the mainstream AMD Athlon II X4 630 on the chopping block. How far can I push it with only a 14 times multiplier to play with? How will the CPU and motherboard hold up to minus 180 degrees celcius? And of course, there’s the all important benchmark numbers. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping to see a 6 GHz screenshot.”

USB 3.0 and SATA 6G Performance Preview – ASUS brings the goods

Quote: “To be sure, 150 MB/s is a HUGE gain over current USB 2.0 speeds of
35 MB/s or so and anyone that is dependent on external storage or any
streaming data over USB connections is going to love the bandwidth increase
we are seeing today. Keep in mind that the USB 2.0 controller on the P55
chipset has had more than 9 years to evolve to where it is at today while
this is the first publicly available implementation of USB 3.0. We will
surely see more speed as the months and years progress, but for now I have
to say that I am ready for USB 3.0 accessories to hit the shelves.”
