The ProlimaTech Armageddon is one such cooling solution with a legacy to fill, and with six heatpipes and enough finsink area for two 140mm fans it seems a reasonable possability. Benchmark Reviews recently tested the ProlimaTech Armageddon heatsink in our Best CPU Cooler Performance series, on an overclocked Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor against several other top CPU coolers. Arctic Cooling E352 Earphones
The most notable change here is of course the wooden chassis used instead of the aluminum one. However, I cannot see any specific information regarding the choice to use wood other than ‘warm sound definition by exquisite wooden chassis’. So, clearly Arctic Sound thought they were onto a winner, but equally did not want to give too much away PowerColor PCS+ HD5870 & HD5850 Video Card
We are going to take an in-depth look at the PowerColor PCS+ HD5870 and HD5850 today. Both video cards offer a custom configuration, with higher clock speeds, but you might just be surprised at what these video cards don’t offer you. This is also the first time we’ll be using ALL DX11/DX10 video games for testing. Windows Phone 7 Series at MIX10
A month ago, Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 Series at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Since its announcement, the newly-rebooted platform has been polished to a state where it's now ready for developers to take charge and start making applications. Almost everything we've suspected has turned out to be true; Phone 7 Series will heavily make use of cloud services such as Xbox Live, and enable huge amounts of code re-use for game and software development with XNA and Silverlight. MSI R5770 HAWK
With ATI’s step into the future with its new line of DX11 GPU’s known as the 5xxx series MSI has taken the opportunity to build a new card to add into the innovative gpu lineup. Today we will be looking at one of their mid range cards, the R5770 HAWK, targeted for people on a budget looking to get the most for the money. MSI has decided to improve on the already great 5770 with improved 7+1 phase PWM and overvoltage options. The even included an aftermarket twin frozr cooler. Intel Core i7-980X Gulftown Hexa-core Processor
For power users that currently are using quad-core processors with HyperThreading (from either Intel's Bloomfield or Lynnfield lineup) you are already a witness to this. While not all applications can take advantage of multiple threads for computing, all modern operating systems today can at least apply multi-threading to entire system. So how does a 50% increase in core count and thread count sound? Thermaltake SpinQ
The Thermaltake SpinQ CPU cooler truly is a perfect combination of strength and aesthetics, and its broad processor compatibility makes it yet more convenient. The SpinQ supports Intel Socket 775/1366 processors and is even already prepared for the upcoming 1156 processors. For AMD, socket AM2/AM2+/AM3 processors are supported. Xeon 5600 Series Brings Six-core Chips to 2P Systems
Intel's gradual roll-out of 32-nm microprocessors has already paid dividends on the desktop, and today, servers and workstations are getting the same treatment. The chip code-named Westmere-EP in its development is the backbone of the new Xeon 5600 series, a top-to-bottom refresh of Intel's 2P Xeon server and workstation lineups.

The most basic question we have in mind before testing any new notebook is the expected performance. However, in the case of ASUS Eee PC 1008P Seashell Karim Rashid Collection netbook, the question was entirely different - could it really be as beautiful as we thought it was when we glanced at the pictures? Only a few seconds after the netbook had been unwrapped sufficed for most to agree that they were looking at the best looking netbook ever.
Microsoft yesterday started talking about Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: the main additions in SP1 that will interest Windows Server users are two new desktop virtualization features, called Microsoft RemoteFX and Dynamic Memory, while on the Windows 7 side there's the updated Remote Desktop client that's based on RemoteFX.
Nvidia Partners will get finished versions of Geforce GTX 480 cards from Nvidia complete with the new cooler, and they will should just put their pretty sticker somewhere on the card and sell it under their own brand.
Intel is gearing up to launch its fastest dual-core to date, the 3.6GHz Core i5-680 which is the Clarkdale-based 32nm part with a TDP of 73W, quite impressive considering its high clock. It has 2x256kB of L2 and 4MB of shared L3 cache. Its integrated graphics are clocked at 733MHz and it officially supports dual channel DDR3 1333. We still don't know the exact price or launch date, but it will probably retail around the €240 mark, which is quite pricey for a dual-core, regardless of the clock.
In a report by Taiwan's Liberty Times on Friday, Wintek was accused of triggering a delay in iPad shipments. A choke point in its touch panel production line has allegedly resulted in few usable panels and stalled Apple's supply as a result. The newspaper didn't say whether this would affect launch volume, although to date Apple still promises shipping for April 3rd. In response, the contract manufacturer has already issued a denial to the Taiwan Stock Exchange that said all production was running properly. However, Wintek also said it couldn't comment on either particular customers like Apple or individual orders.
ASUS announced the first intuitive solution for unlocking latent cores on AMD CPUs, that is currently available on ASUS M4A89 Series and AMD 800 chipset-based motherboards. Without requiring any additional upgrades, ASUS motherboards with Core Unlocker deliver more performance by unlocking extra CPU cores—providing more value.
