FSP Aurum Xilenser Review reported at 01:24 PM
category: Power Supplies     website: techPowerUp!
Article Quote:
To sum up, the relatively high ripple on the 5V rail and the lack of OTP cannot spoil the good impression that Xilenser 500W made. This PSU provided very good overall results, has a unique look and it is almost fully modular since only the 24pin ATX cable is fixed. If FSP manages to offer it at a fair price, although fanless PSUs tend to be expensive, then it will be very competitive and a good choice for users who want a fanless PSU for their system. However I think that the current MSRP is way too high and this is the only reason that I didn't give it our Recommended award.

SteelSeries Diablo III Headset Review reported at 01:21 PM
category: headsets     website: Hardware.Info
Article Quote:
Its average price is £87, which is £34 more than the Siberia V2 it's based on. If low weight, comfort and good sound quality are most important to you, then the Siberia V2 is the more interesting choice. However, if you are one of the many Diablo fans, and have been waiting patiently for the latest installment, then the special design of the Diablo III headset might make it worth the additional cost.

MSI Z77A-GD80 & R7770 Power Edition OC Review reported at 01:16 PM
category: Socket 1155 Motherboards     website: KitGuru
Article Quote:
There are already a handful of fantastic Z77 motherboards on the market, however the MSI Z77A-GD80 is as good as we have tested and I warmed to the UEFI configuration after spending some time with it.

Roccat Savu Review reported at 12:50 PM
category: Mice     website: HardwareHeaven
Article Quote:
With the Savu, ROCCAT have continued their streak of producing excellent products. The Savu is a mid-range gaming mouse, built to a very high quality and offering some of the features we see on the higher end products such as the Easy-Shift[+] system. Teaming the Savu with the Taito mouse mat creates quite the tag-team. Given the range of sizes that the Taito can be selected in there is a version to suit all tastes and desk space.

Enermax ETD-T60-VD Review reported at 12:44 PM
category: CPU Coolers     website: eTeknix.com
Article Quote:
With retail pricing of around £45/€48/$49.99, the Enermax ETD-T60-VD isn’t cheap. It does however offer good value for money when you consider the fact that it fits in tight spaces which few other coolers may be able to and performs very well while doing so. With competitive cooling performance which beats some of its closest rivals, an attractive appearance and the possibility for low-noise computing with the PWM fan, Enermax have a very good low profile CPU cooler in the ETD-T60-VD which is only let down by its tricky installation procedure. If you are looking to upgrade the cooling potential of your small form factor computer, the Enermax ETD-T60-VD is definitely a low profile CPU cooler worthy of recommendation.

Article Quote:

NZXT Phantom 410 Review reported at 12:25 PM
category: Computer Cases/Enclosures     website: PureOverclock.com
Article Quote:
So if you’re in the market for a mid-tower chassis that will compete with the bigger, and more expensive full towers, then the NZXT Phantom 410 is a fantastic deal at just $100. This one should definitely be on your short list.

MSI R7870 Hawk Review reported at 12:24 PM
category: Game Accelerator Cards     website: Benchmark Reviews
Article Quote:
The MSI R7870 Hawk presently sells for $379.99 at Amazon. That sits at the high end of Radeon HD 7870 cards, but it also comes packed full of features and hardware that help make up the difference. I'd like to see the price a little bit lower, as you can find factory overclocked 7870 cards for less. Basically, if you aren't planning on tweaking the MSI R7870 Hawk to take full potential of the high grade components and the GPU reactor, then I think you are probably better off going with a card that will end up costing you a little less. However, if you want to try your hand at overclocking and extreme tuning, you won't find a card that will let you experiment as forgivingly as this one.
