HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT IceQ Turbo GDDR3 Tested
|
At around 75 pounds inc. VAT, the card is around 10 pound cheaper than Sapphire's GDDR4-based 2600 XT. Based on the differences in performance and price, the HIS 2600 XT IceQ Turbo GDDR3 looks like a bargain compared in isolation to the Sapphire HD 2600 XT GDDR4. However, when you throw the 8600 GT ...

Leadtek 8800GTS 640MB Review
|
The 8800-series cards are great. They are heavy-hitters in the gaming world. They are well-built and very quiet. And, even though they've been available for some time, their domination of the high-end market doesn't seem to be challenged. On the bench, we've got a Leadtek WinFast 8800GTS 640MB video...

Sapphire Ultimate Radeon HD 2600 XT Review
|
Back in May, Sapphire announced the Ultimate Radeon HD 2600 XT, and the world rejoiced. HD 2600 XT got a passive cooler first seen on the older Sapphire Radeon X1650 PRO, and thus the silence folks might crave. The announce date of July came and went, though, putting a dampener on said rejoicing, bu...

Sapphire HD 2900 XT 1024MB DDR4 Tested
|
It seems ATI made the right decision when it chose not to ship HD 2900 XTs with 1024MB of memory. While doubling the memory quota does improve performance by a small margin, it is nowhere near enough to justify the increase in cost the extra memory would have demanded.

ATi Catalyst 7.8 Treiber im Vergleich
|
Wir haben uns den neuen Catalyst 7.8 Treiber geschnappt und diesen durch verschiedenen Benchmarks unter Windows XP, Windows Vista x86 und unter Vista x64 gejagt. Unser Fazit ist, daß nicht nur die aktuellen HD2000-Karten vom neuen Treiber profitieren, sondern auch die älteren Modelle.

Gigabyte GV-NX85T256H Geforce 8500GT Videocard Review
|
In terms of performance the Gigabyte GV-NX85T256H can handle DirectX 9.0 games at resolutions of 1024x768 pretty well. DirectX 10 titles like Call of Juarez and Lost Planet are a bit too much for it though. If you're a big time gamer you might be better served to save up a bit more to get something ...

Techsolo Music Cube TL-08 im Test

In einer Zeit von 5.1 und 7.1 Soundkarten, True HD,DTS und THX für den Privat-PC, geraten Sie immer mehr in Vergessenheit, die guten alten Mini-Stereo Boxen.

Sunbeam Silent Whisper Cooler Review
|
With the name, Silent Whisper I truly expected a silent or near silent cooling option. The Sunbeam cooler does okay in the noise department but under power it neither operates as silent or at a whisper. The second issue is more one of aesthetics. The welding on the base looked like it was done eight...

Noctua NC-U6 Chipsatzkühler im Test
|
Mittlerweile muss man an CPU und GPU immer mehr wärme effektiv mit immer größer werdenden Kühlern abführen. Dieser Trend geht aber auch leider nicht an den Chipsätzen der Mainboards vorbei. Die Hersteller von Mainboards setzen allerdings vor allem im niedrigen Preissegment nicht immer auf gute Kühll...

CoolIT Freezone TEC Cooler Kit Review
|
It's a fully assembled unit that is so simple to install. As far as performance goes, you couldn't ask for better. With a full load being put on the CPU by Sandra's Burn In Wizard, the temps were still only in the mid-20's. Of course, the idle temperature is what really makes me smile. Friggin' 9 de...

Nexus NHP-2200 Northbridge Kühler im Test

Heute dreht es sich bei uns um die Mainboard Temperatur. Durch immer höhere Geschwindigkeiten auf den Bussystemen setzen viele Hersteller schon auf eine hauseigene Heat Pipe Kühlung.

Zalman ZM-MFC2 Fan Controller Review
|
Over the years heat has progressively been an issue for computer enthusiasts. It still seems like yesterday that Intel's Pentium line was using brute force to keep up in the Gigahertz War and a massive amount of heat was the by product. Many companies have wised up in recent years by developing cool...

Zalman Multi Fan Controller ZM-MFC2 Review

No other company is as synonymous with quiet computing as Zalman. And today we are going to look at what is arguably the single most important component in quieting a noisy computer, the fan controller.

Once again CoolerMaster has released a solid product. The Vortex 752 does everything it sets out to do, cool your processor silently and with a small footprint for your HTPC or small form factor PC.

Arctic Cooling and Zalman GPU Cooler Review

Despite this it would be fair to say that many manufacturers place little importance in the quality of the cooling systems attached to their hardware. There are some exceptions which have ...

Thermaltake MaxOrb and Thermaltake V1 Review

Neither of these heatsinks are outright cheaper than the competition, but they are both available around the 30 pounds mark - this is certainly a viable cost to anyone looking for a performance cooler. The MaxOrb is on the right side of that 30 pounds depending where you shop and offers a marginally...

CoolIT Systems Eliminator Review
|
The idea behind thermoelectric cooling - TEC is that you can use energy to actively move heat from a cold place to a hot place. Generally, this isn't the case: the temperature in a room will reach equilibrium unless you do work (spend energy) to change that; if that sounds familiar, it's because it'...

Titan Vanessa S-Type im Test

Kühler werden immer größer und massiver. Kühler mit einem oder sogar zwei 120mm Lüftern gehören da längst zur Tagesordnung.

Auch wenn heutzutage fast jedes moderne Mainboard über eine temperaturgesteuerte Onboard-Lüftersteuerung verfügt sind diese nicht immer das Maß aller Dinge, da sie entweder zu empfindlich oder auch garnicht geg...
