Core 2 Extreme tested on PC Mark and Pov Ray

FOR YOUR information, one of my preferred websites, HKEPC now has an English section. They are originally Chinese based. Head here.

Overclockers Club reports on the OCZ Mini Cart USB 2.0 1GB Flash drive, probably one of the smallest flash drives on the market. It comes with a three year warranty. I guess that you have more chance to lose it than to break it. It is small, has its own keyring, is quite fast and comes in capacities of up to 2GB.

Bjorn3D reviews the Seagate 7200.10 750GB Hard disk drive, a really gigantic hard disk drive that is 50% larger than the competition. It features Perpendicular technology and comes with 16MB cache. When compared to the previous generation of Seagate hard disk drive, it was exceptionally fast, coming second only tot he WD Raptor. It is expensive but then, it comes with a five year warranty and matches SCSI easily.

Trustedreviews reports on the B&O Beovision 7-40 40-inch LCD TV. B&O are one of the most respected brands in audio visual. Their products have often been compared to objects of arts. The 7-40 is no different. Sure it costs more than £8200 with two floor-standing speakers but then, you get what you paid for. Native resolution of 1366x768, HD ready, loads of IOs and an impressive total audio output of 0.75KW.

AOAforums hosts a Selfmade Digital Temperature/fan-control with LCD for a PC. Loads of photos with a detailed description in English. It needs some work for the translation though but from what i learnt, it is uses the USB interface, is suitable for watercooling and displays temperature with an accuracy of 0.1 degrees.

Another Seagate Hard disk drive being reviewed. This time, it is the Momentus 5400.3 model which landed on Tweaktown's table. It is a 8MB cache laptop drive with 160GB capacity and a 5400rpm spin speed. It proves out to be one of the fastest laptop drive available. It is also relatively cheap, uses PMR technology and operates quietly.

Extremetech checks the Core2Extreme with benchmarks like PC Mark 05 and POV-Ray 3.7 Beta used. Interestingly two models are presented. A Core running at 2.93GHz, using the stock Intel air cooler and another one using Intel's Sealed Liquid cooling for a model running at 3.2GHz. Why the jump to Liquid Cooling when speed increases by 0.27GHz? Answers welcome. µ
