Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-ray player Review
|
First, its solid build quality makes it look and feel like a more "high-end" piece of kit, but it lacks the Samsung’s aesthetic pizzazz. Pull down the reflective front panel (which sadly isn’t motorised) and it reveals a stark, minimal fascia with only the key playback buttons to keep your...

Everglide has been known to produce very high-end mouse pads for years. Now they ventured into the gaming headset market with their S-500 series of professional headsets.

HP Compaq dc7700p Ultra-slim Desktop Review
|
Today we have the dc7700p from HP in our labs and, aside from being a small business desktop, it has one very interesting feature we’ve not had a look at before. It’s called Intel vPro Technology and it’s something that could revolutionise the IT support industry.

Ratpadz XT mousemat Review
|
Ratpadz was one the first companies to produce high quality plastic mats aimed at gamers who wanted absolute precision. The pad looks just like the original and is made from the same type of durable plastic. Can this old, relatively speaking, mat compete with the new sleek designs of the other big p...

Canon Selphy ES1 Photo Printer Review
|
Canon has had considerable success with its range of Selphy dedicated photo printers, which use dye sublimation, rather than the more usual inkjet. Its latest machine in the series, the ES1, refines the technique and provides extra features which should make it still more convenient to use.

Viewsonic VG2230WM 22 inch widescreen monitor Review
|
All in all, the VG2230WM is a reasonable monitor at a reasonable price. If you want better quality, you'll spend the same amount of money for a smaller panel or more for the same size panel. If you want to save money, you can hack off a few quid and get the Iiyama. But overall, this is a good all-ro...

Spire Fourier IV Intel and AMD CPU Cooler Review
|
The Fourier IV is a pretty good cooling solution. Spire's innovative design and all-copper construction yielded very acceptable, but not outstanding, performance. The cooler has distinctive styling that looks good on a motherboard and can be used fanless, if the heat load is not too high.
|
Alpha Novatech PRE9060M92P Socket 775 Heatsink Review
|
When Alpha Novatech produce a new heatsink model the company tends to only produce one or two variations to get it right. On the other hand, companies like Thermaltake produce dozens of heatsinks for each new CPU platform, and six months down the road there is always an entirely new collection of th...

Heatsink and Thermal Interface Material Basics
|
Heat is actually molecular vibrations in any material and our fingers interpret this vibration as heat. The greater the vibration, the hotter the material is/feels. In order to cool down the material these vibrations need to be dispersed or thinned-out in some way. If you have ever played with a tun...

Scythe Samurai Z Revision B im Test
|
Das Scythe in Sachen Silent PC wirklich weit vorne liegt, ist schon lange kein Geheimnis mehr. Allerdings bleibt bei leisen Lüftern auf den Kühlern meist die Frage, ob sie auch bei wenigen Umdrehungen in der Minute die gewünschte Leistung bringen. Deshalb haben wir heute den Scythe Samurai Z Revisio...

Spirecooler Fourier IV Review
|
Recently, Spire announced a new series of coolers for both Socket 775 and K8 socket, called the "Fourier IV". We tested Spire's proposal against Intel's stock cooling system, comparing noise production, heat dispassion and of course, price. Overall a great performer that will "cool&qu...

Noctua NC-U6 Chipsatzkühler im Test

Es ist ein offenes Geheimnis, die Kühlung unserer PC-Komponenten beschränkt sich schon lange nicht mehr auf die "üblichen Verdächtigen", wie Prozessor, Grafikkarte usw., auch Chipsatz und Spannungswandler verlangen nach adäquaten Kühllösungen, steht und fällt doch mit ihrer fehlerfreien Fu...

Vantec Iceberq 6 VGA Cooler Review
|
Many stock coolers may get the job done, but the Vantec Iceberq 6 VGA Cooler may be just the upgrade for enthusiasts who aren't satisfied with just getting the job done. The Iceberq 6 dropped temperatures on the test GPU by about 13%, and as a bonus it dropped the case temperatures by about 10%.

Noiseblocker CoolScraper V2 Review
|
Noiseblocker is a German company specializing in silent computer cooling solutions. We have tested some of their products in the past, which we found to be of high quality albeit somewhat expensive. Since Noiseblocker is a rather new company, their product line-up is still small. Noiseblocker mainly...
|
ZEROtherm BTF95-CU Passivkühler
|
Breiter, tiefer und schneller, so kann man die aktuelle CPU Generation in wenigen Worten beschreiben. Trotz wachsender Leistungsfähigkeit soll es nicht heißen, dass die Prozessoren, wie in den vergangenen Jahren, im heißer werden müssen. Eher im Gegenteil. Dies veranlasst die Namenhaften Kühlerschmi...

HP iPaq rw6815 Personal Messenger Review
|
HP has come up with something that looks rather different from the norm. It is all round silver, which these days is the exception rather than the rule. Most of the casing is plastic, and the battery cover feels rather flimsy. There is a nasty plastic cover which protects the screen – but doesn’t st...

HighPoint RocketRAID 2340 Controller Review
|
Today we are going to take a close look at one of HighPoint's very latest controllers and it's one of the most impressive ones we've looked at so far, the RocketRAID 2340. Coming in at a little under $500 USD, it's certainly not a cheap product but its feature list is neither short. Using special Mi...

Converting Videotape into Video Files
|
As you may have noticed, the VCR is a dying technology. DVD players are now equivalent in price, and their disks have practically crowded VHS tapes right off the shelves of your neighborhood video store. Give it another three years and you may be hard pressed to find a new release on tape. So what h...
