| HIS Radeon HD 7850 Review reported at 05:33 PM |
| category: Game Accelerator Cards website: Test Freaks |
 | Article Quote:
Well I’m impressed by the HIS 7850 that’s for sure, I’m very happy with the performance of this card. It easily bests every other card I’ve got on hand and most importantly it let’s you play most every game out there on maximum settings and get decent frame rates. The HIS 7850 can be overclocked easily and without any additional voltage you see a very nice increase in performance. The card runs quiet and cool thanks to the cooler and fan combination that HIS attached to the card. It only uses a single power connection so it doesn’t draw that’s much power from your system, according to specs you’ll only need 500 Watt or more power supply to run it. | | more info:·product info

| GeIL Black Dragon PC3-17000 Kit Review reported at 11:44 AM |
| category: DDR3 Memory website: MadShrimps |
 | Article Quote:
The high-end Black Dragon 2133MHz 16GB memory kit from GeIL works as advertised and allows us to tighten the timings further, at the same stock speed. Setting the voltage to 1.65 seemed not to make any difference in stability if we wanted to tighten the timings even further. | | more info:·product info |
| NZXT Switch 810 Review reported at 11:39 AM |

In my personal opinion, I think the company got quite a number of things right in this case. So to save you time, I will highlight only the stuff I think are outstanding, otherwise I will just be rewriting this review. Firstly, the large, unobstructed side window. Back in the days, they were easy as heck to find. Nowadays, it deserves an entire section of its own. Either way, I love it. Secondly, the top ventilation. It can be opened or closed at your desire. Simple? Yes. But this is definitely something other case manufacturers need to learn from NZXT for those who don't like dust in their case. Thirdly, the tilting center fan. Enough said. Fourthly, the cable management features. With the right number of openings in the all the right places on the motherboard tray, the Switch 810 is definitely a pleasure to work with. Of course, there are a few things that I would like to see addressed. For one thing, it is not travel friendly. All the fancy click lock panels are cool, until you need to move your case around. Also, it is freaking loud. Considering it already has a centralized fan board, I don't think a variable speed controller is too much to ask for. And last, but not least, some of the plastics are too scratch happy or flimsy feeling. Fix all these, and the Switch 810 is definitely the case to switch to; pun intended. But even with the current issues, all the outstanding attributes makes it impossible not to recommend this work of simple brilliance. | | more info:·product info

| 4-Way Intel Z77 Motherboard Roundup reported at 11:30 AM |
| category: Socket 1155 Motherboards website: TechSpot |
 | Article Quote:
Given the choice, we'd favor the Asrock Z77 Extreme6 or Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H-WB (with or without the wireless card) over Intel's DZ77GA-70K. Value-minded shoppers will likely lean toward the Z77 Extreme6 as it was neck-and-neck with Gigabyte's pricier solution through most of our tests while cutting a few non-essentials to drive down the price. Meanwhile, the Z77X-UD5H-WB is a no-compromise board for enthusiasts who can't part with any features. Again, we can't currently recommend the ECS Z77H2-AX. | | more info:·product info

| Sapphire Black X79N Review reported at 11:28 AM |
| category: Socket 2011 Motherboards website: PureOverclock.com |
 | Article Quote:
We like this board and we think Sapphire has strong momentum in the right direction, but there are some improvements to be made going forward. That said, for the time being, we think Sapphire should closely look at making this board much more competitive in terms of pricing to really assert themselves in the market. | | more info:·product info

| Asus GTX680-2GD5 Review reported at 11:24 AM |
| category: Game Accelerator Cards website: techPowerUp! |
| Article Quote:
Price-wise ASUS is asking a $20 price increased over the NVIDIA reference design, which I find extremely reasonable. Taking into account our performance per Dollar figures, the performance increase from the overclock out of the box is worth more than $20 alone. On top of that you get an improved cooler, better overclocking and software voltage control. The only major drawback of this card is also what makes it unique. The large triple slot cooler might be too big for some cases, and users who want to run a multi-GPU setup will have to ensure the proper slot spacing on their motherboard. If you have no plans for SLI and are looking for a high-end card that goes beyond what NVIDIA's reference design offers, the ASUS GeForce GTX 680 DirectCU II TOP must be on your short list. | | more info:·product info
