NVIDIA G92 Overclocked - GT vs. GTS 512

From TweakTown.com

"The overclocking ability on products is sometimes one of the most important features. More often than not in the computer world you’re given the ability to buy a model or two down, and with a BIOS or easy to use application you can take that said product up to and often above the level of the top model.

The 8800GTS 512MB is only a little bit ahead of the 8800GT 512MB, but with its dual slot cooler and extra shaders on tap we thought that where the card may really shine is in the overclocking department."

GMC Noblesse K-1 Muse Multimedia Case Review

From Thinkcomputers.org

“HTPC cases are getting pretty popular. I have one, which is a pretty nice case, but the cooling is so limited that I wouldn't consider putting my main rig in it. As far as features, it is pretty plain Jane, it mainly looks like it belongs with other home theater components, although there were some optional multimedia features that it didn't come with. GM Corporation, LTD, from Seoul, Korea, a company that has been specializing in cases for over a decade, has produced an HTPC case called the Noblesse K-1 Muse, advertised as "Multimedia all-in-one PC case". Will this case have enough features to earn the title "multimedia case", along with satisfying the needs of the enthusiast? We'll see.”

OCZ Technology Vendetta Heatpipe CPU Cooler

From Bigbruin.com

"After our first review of such a cooler I was left wondering if this design development was really such a good idea, as performance was less than impressive. We're going to give direct touch heatpipe CPU coolers another shot, this time in the form of something from OCZ Technology. They have provided their Vendetta CPU cooler, which looks a good deal like the Kingwin Revolution cooler we reviewed just about a month ago."

Zalman Reserator XT External Hybrid

From Tweaknews.net

"With its new hybrid cooling design for the XT, Zalman has lost the traditional silence of the previous Reserator systems, but gained significant cooling performance. The Reserator XT is indeed a worthy successor to the Reserators of the past and boasts easy installation, attractive styling and superb materials and workmanship. Digital monitoring of fluid temperature and fan/pump speed control are welcome features, and the mechanical flow indicator adds a visual confirmation of coolant flow rates as well."

Danger Den DD-29XT VGA Water Block Review

From 3dGameMan.com

"Many might be wondering why spend money on a Video Card with a great cooler only to ripe it off and install an expensive VGA water block. The major reason why is it will cool the GPU and memory substantially better than any VGA cooler on the market. The other reason is noise related. The Radeon 2900XT and 2900Pro Video Cards can be very loud when under maximum load using the cooler. But having a VGA water block installed means it would be completely silent. The Danger Den DD-29XT VGA Water Block it’s a perfect option for a HTPC setup or a silent PC build. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end."
