Asus M4A78-E overclocks like mad
THE FOLKS DOWN AT Bjorn 3D got to test-drive the Asus M4A78-E AM3 DDR3 mobo. It has some very advanced features, including the famed ACC that is said to unlock X3 7xx and X4 8xx cores and cache.
Test Freaks tested some speedy Kingston HyperX DDR3-2000 3x1GB kit today. It gets you instant performance without needing complex tweaking.
Artic Cooling's Fusion 550R PSU is on testat Techniz. Despite being SLI and Crossfire certified, we'd hesitate to tell you to set up a power-hungry rig.
CPU3D has the Asus Rampage II Gene X58 micro-ATX motherboard. This is probably the motherboard that packs the most performance in the smallest footprint.
Bit Tech tested the Zotac Geforce 9300 ITX Wifi mobo. It'll support Intel's latest CPUs up to a 95W TDP and still let you stick a PCIe x16 card in it... blimey.
Anand has a 31 page dissertation on SSD technology. Lots of useful info here, it'll let you know what to look out for when buying one.
Guru of 3D is benchmarking the Inno3D Geforce GTX 260 SP216 iChill Accelero XXX. It's equipped with three PWM fans that constantly adjust the airflow to the GPU.
Benchmark Reviews is questing for the ultimate LGA 1366 cooler, out of a lot of 40. Massive lab test, right there.
JonnyGuru has an Antec Truepower 750W PSU. Modular, power-efficient and powerful enough to drive a power-hungry rig. Not too expensive, either.
More power tests are going on at ProClockers. The FSP Everest 900W PSU (apparently an ODM brand going for it alone, now) delivers very high efficiency and clean power.
Laptop Mag tested the Acer Travelmate 6291-6753, a lightweight, compact 12-inch laptop. It's a marathon runner, actually, with its 6+ hour battery life.
Digital Versus is listening to the Sennheiser IE8 and Klipsch Custom-2 in-ear ‘buds. We need to get some of that action, ASAP.
Xbit Labs is playing around with FEAR 2: Project Origin and a bunch of graphics cards. The game favours ATI tremendously, we see.
Legit Reviews has a Palit Geforce GTX 260 55nm card on the bench. Upside-down you'd call it a HD 4870 due to the red PCB, but far from it.
Tweak Town is reviewing a Lite-On eSAU108 external DVD writer. It's a USB 2.0 drive, unfortunately, and all the tests show exactly how slow it can be. Buy one if you really need one, we guess. µ

First m4 asus, its deception that 4 is in model number, its basicly AM2/2+ Main, takes AM3, too. it works worst than msi & many other Mains. Worse than M3 of same model numbers. Its Called Value Main, Yet Price is Steep. You can keep VGA port.Synthetics Half of Expected.~10,000 Vant. Next: SSD, Wow, BAD News. Heres Quote: The Intel drive just worked as it should, the rest of them didn’ton ALL Fronts, Unfortunately, As It Should Means Internally, maybe, good ersults, once into Main, BAD. Digital Velocoraptor hit less than 1 mb/s. 25M/E almost could hit 10 mb/s. MaMa Mia, Writer even tried Own version of Firmware, Written in N. Korea, Sent Black SSD, No Writing on case, to use, Very Bad. Reason SSD Was UnMarked Is Total Denial by Manufacturer. Good Tech Explanations, Especially about Storage Blocks. Your Cost: $12 Gb SSD Vs. 12 cents Gb for Hdd. Article helpfully explains that HDD has Spinning Platters. Oh,My....Alice, Alice You NOT In WonderLand on This. One Way to Waste Thousands, Ruin HDd &SDD in system & just plain waste entire day trying to install oNE SSD.:( :( . So Don't Expect much, author states plenty of controllers available, yet had to have custom software & SDD made by complaining. it just got worse, whad'ya Expect. TS Drashek
