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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

This time around we get to look at a full tower from the Element line that offers a bunch more room, a ton of features and much better airflow built in. Features include multi-colored LED lighting, a three fan controller built in and a somewhat tool-less interior just to name a few, but a key feature on this chassis we are about to look at is security.

Enermax has been one of the "de facto standard" names in computer power supplies for years now. Enermax continually comes to the enthusiast with solidly built power supplies that deliver top notch power and stability for years and years. Today we are looking at the MODU87+ 700 watt PSU and its Dynamic Hybrid Transformer Topology technology, AKA DHT.
