High-end CPU cooling hots up

SYSOPT TOOK nForce-based P5N-E SLI motherboard and found astounding overclocking results, much to their disappointment. Guys are well known for torturing hardware up to point of proving that every piece of hardware has a soul, so they were quite disappointed after seeing that P5NE-SLI passed with flying colours.

RBmods tested Corsair Flash Voyager GT 8GB, to see how much torture can this allegedly indestructible USB stick take. Ours was finally cleared from Customs, so we will be bringing you our own review fairly soon.

Bjorn3D took a look at SteelSound 3H headset. This entry-level headset targets gamers who do not want to wake up the wrath of neighbours when blasting enemies in the early Sunday morning. SteelSeries advertises these ones as "professional gaming headset", but then again, who is not claiming "world leadership" in at least something...

Following our yesterday l'inqage of newly redesigned Logitech G5 gaming mice, PlayReaction.com did not want to fall behind, so Christian and the crew posted their views'n'opinions. All in all, seems that Logitech finally addressed all the needs and this just might be the ultimate gaming raton.

TweakTown took two GeForce 8600GTS boards from BFG and put them through paces, in a quest to discover is SLI a marketing gimmick or something really usable. Guys came up with the very same conclusion we brought two weeks ago, in our own take on 8600GTS in SLI mode.

TechGage reviewed Ultra ChillTEC CPU Cooler. This baby combines the dissipation power of Peltier element (Thermo Electric Cooling) with the regular air-cooler. TechGage was not the only one, since LegitReviews came up with their own review as well. This complicated tech brings a hefty price tag, so the question is should you spend $130 on air-cooling or tad more ($150) for water-cool system named Corsair Nautilus 500?

Also, high-performing high-end air coolers, are coming to the fore, like Thermalright's Inferno FX-14, that just got reviewed at HardOCP.

LegionHardware tested Inno3D GeForce 8600GTS, but with the price of GeForce 8800GTS 320MB being so low, it just does not make sense to plimp for an SLI motherboard, rather save these $75-100 and upgrade the graphics department with 8800GTS.

PC Perspective tested 17" gaming notebook from Asus, named G2 from G Series of products. LCD screen and speakers won some serious words of praise, while this notebook features some serious goodies. OLED screen is located above the keyboard that features clock, your own personalised string of letters or pre-defined icons. Cool by any standard.

BenchZone took four kits of DDR2 and posted a comparison between these babies. Corsair, Crucial, OCZ and Super Talent battle it out for glory and more importantly, your wallet.

XSReviews tested Antec Veris MX-1 hard disk enclosure. What separates this product from the competition is the fact that this one features a fan, so even the most hot hard drives (anyone who ever owner an 80GB Maxtor drive from DiamondMax 8 series will know what I am referring to) will find a nice and cool home.
