Ye Daily Wibble benchmarking galore
Wednesday, 25 February 2009, 23:30

SOMEONE, SOMEHOW, has handed Guru of 3D a little pre-release engineering sample of DAAMIT's forthcoming value RV740 GPU. The green goblin has its work cut out for it in the sub-$100.

Anandtech is working on the ultimate multi-GPU article. Derek is on chapter two right now, with the tri-SLI setups, but you can pick up part one, here.

Benchmark Reviews has 3x2GB of OCZ CL7 DDR3-1600 for your Core i7 rig. Not only is it good on performance, but OCZ is pushing this into DDR2 territory with a $129.99 price tag.

Hot Hardware, on the other hand, has done a round-up of several DDR3 tri-channel kits so you'll be interested in reading it in case you're setting up a new rig.

First time we've heard of Nanoxia, and according to OCModshop, they make a range of case fans dubbed FX12, FX09 and FX08 (depending on the diameter of the fan. These come the vibration-soaking rubber bolts that make them dead silent.

Bjorn 3D is testing out the new XSPC Delta V3 CPU water block. Brit XSPC has done an outstanding job on this one, if not for the extra-bendy mounting bracket, thinks Steven.

Headsets have come a long way since they have become a multiplayer gaming must-have. Digital Versus has a headset three-way with some kit from Creative and Gembird.

Thermaltake's Element S case is being reviewed at Motherboards.org. It's a solid looking case with some modern features and some extra HDD capacity for around $130.

CPU3D is testing Adata's newly-introduced  XPG 64GB Sata II SSD. It's still a very expensive  proposition, but performance was tremendous.

Hardware Logic has Cooler Master's Hyper N520 CPU Cooler on the bench. You can expect some great performance, at least according to Matthew, but you'll also need the headroom.

Extremetech wrote up an in-depth article on the current SLI on X58 debate. You can have SLI without the NF200 chip, right now, but just how much do you need it?

Asrock's never been known for its high-end motherboards, but rather for their frankenboards. However, that might change from now on. TweakTown reviews the X58 Supercomputer mobo.

The very popular Antec Nine Hundred case has been updated and reinvented. Legion Hardware tastes a bit of the second-generation kit.

XS Reviews has a Tuniq Potency 650W PSU on test. The PSU is a bit plain in design and lacks modular cabling, but on the other hand delivers everything very well... µ
