Sea Sonic Electronics congratulates Intel on the launch of the Haswell Processors. We are inspired by the continuing efforts made by Intel to push the boundaries of performance and at the same time, be environmentally conscious through reduction of energy consumption.
Alienvibes is back
with a range of speakers intended for use with PCs and portable media
players... We will be checking out the W601 speakers, which is a 2.2 channel
system has some impressive features that include dual subwoofers, a wireless
remote, SD/USB MP3 playback, and two inputs from sources such as a computer,
tablet, smartphone, or other audio source. @ Bigbruin
For good or bad Summer is finally here which would explain why all of
our 4 test rigs have begun heating up a lot more during these past few days as
would the fact that i can't seem to be able to stay in front of our 800W photo
bench for more than 20 minutes at a time. So since we all know how important a
good CPU cooler is especially during the Summer period we announced that we
will be doing a very cool giveaway with our friends over at Noctua tomorrow
with 3 of their latest cooling solutions up for grabs. Because of that however
we also feel that you need to know what it is that we will be giving away so
for the past 3 days we've been putting the latest NH-U12S and NH-U14S CPU Air
Coolers through rigorous testing with impressive results especially for two
single fan solutions. @ NikKTech
Samsung entered the market with their 5.3-inch Galaxy Note not expecting it to sell well, but they pretty much single-handedly created the 'phablet' market we all know and love today. Before the Galaxy Note was released, smartphones at the 5-inch market were laughed at, and considered tablets. Samsung changed all of that. @ TweakTown

Infortrend delivered the first 2-bay NAS we would ever
consider and now they bring us the first NAS in this price category with
dedupe. What is dedupe and how can this product increase your office
productivity? Chris has the answer for us today. @ TweakTown
Today sees the release of a new GTX Titan from
ZOTAC, the AMP! Edition. This is the highest clocked air cooled Titan we have
seen so far and we will be putting it up against the 7990 as well as the GTX
690 in a selection of the latest games which include Bioshock: Infinite, Crysis
3 and Tomb Raider. Of course as always we will look at GPU Computing, Media
Playback, power, thermal, and acoustics as well as overclocking. @ HardwareHeaven
Today we have a Xtreme fast SSD for review at
ocinside.de, the Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 256GB. The Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 256 GB SSD is based on the
Marvell 88SS9187-BLD2 controller like the previously tested Crucial M500 480 GB
SSD and reached an amazing high performance with the new Plextor firmware 1.03. So let us continue with the SSD comparison and
the review of the Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 256 GB. @ OCInside.DE
Inno3D has engineered a unique GTX 650 Ti Boost using
the company's iChill triple slot, dual-fan cooler. It provides amazing noise
levels, which make the card almost inaudible during gameplay. Temperatures are
also much improved, so the triple slot design certainly paid off. The card is
also overclocked and comes at a reasonable $190 price point. @ techPowerUp
Urban S71 is a full-tower chassis with
minimalist styling which is typical of a case, of this calibre. S71 can
accommodate a plethora of high-end hardware and comes with three cooling fans;
all configured via a handy two-speed fan controller. The real question is can
S71 compete with other popular offerings which currently dominate the market? @ Vortez
In this day and age speed is everything, next to capacity of course. SanDisk, with their wide knowledge of flash memory systems, has once again raised the bar, the bar that they set themselves with the Extreme line-up of SD and micro SD cards. These new memory cards have been garnished with the latest in technology with a UHS I rating, and with the newest of DSLR cameras catching up to this specification it's a welcomed upgrade especially for those of you that enjoy shooting full sessions in burst mode. @ TweakTown
Not long ago, we received the Aivia Osmium
keyboard from Gigabyte for reviewing. Imagine our surprise when we received
another Aivia Osmium with almost no difference in the presentation, aside from
having white illumination instead of blue, and featuring Cherry MX Brown
mechanical switches instead of the red model. The boxes have different visuals,
but the consumer has to keep a keen eye to know which Osmium he or she is
buying because there is no hint in their names (like "Osmium Brown"
or "Osmium Red", for instance). Let's test this new Osmium and
compare it to the one previously reviewed – the main thing here is to know the
difference between those two types of mechanical switches. @ Hardware Secrets
Looking to diversify their business even more
ZOTAC recently released the RAIDBOX, a compact USB 3.0 enclosure which allows
us to install two mSATA hard drives then RAID them for enhanced
performance/data protection. Today we have a sample on our test bench, along
with two high spec 256GB mSATA drives from ADATA. @ HardwareHeaven
Comay's Pluto SC3 features an LSI SandForce 2481
controller in tandem with Intel 24nm MLC NAND. With enterprise class features,
such as host power-loss protection and enhanced data security, and a low price
point, this will make for a good option for the value-conscious. @ TweakTown
With mobile devices
becoming more and more common it isn't surprising that we are
starting to see different devices pop up that have built in support for them.
From keyboards to headsets, the most common type of interface used to connect
these devices is Bluetooth. Eagle Tech has kindly shipped us one of their brand
new foldable Bluetooth headsets to test with our mobile devices. The Bluetooth
headset is in the Arion brand of products and features both Bluetooth audio and
microphone. Join us as we take a look to explore the new device and find out
how it holds up. @ LanOC Reviews
