With their GS (Gaming Series), Corsiar has a new series of power supplies in their portfolio. Apparently Corsair is targeting gamers with these products and the best thing about them should be their highly competitive price tag. Meanwhile we've received a sample of the GS800 power supply and obviously we've taken quite a few pictures for you.
In earlier reviews we found out, that with Patriot stick you might quite often get a wolf in sheep's clothing. All Patriot modules we've tested so far, was available at a very reasonable and competitive price point and apart from that their overclocking headroom was great. This makes us wonder what these 1866C9 sticks can do.
Cooler Charts: 31 Models tested - update Aquatuning NexXxoS XP3 Light @ Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360mmToday we've added another watercooling kit to our cooler charts. This time Aquatuning Germany supplied us with one of their mighty Alphacool NexXoS XP3 UT60 radiators as well as a NexXxos XP3 CPU block. After receiving this kit we certainly couldn't wait to give it a shot on our test system and see what's what.
With the Vengeance DDR3-1866MHz CL9 modules, we have the next Corsair memory kit for review. We again find their new, quite simple Heatspreader, which features a specific color to make it suitable to certain motherboards. At this point we've taken quite a few pictures we'd like to share with you.
One of our goals for 2013 is building a review section around custom water cooling components. This time it is Aquatuning who provides us with a test kit which is based on an Alphacool NexXxoS XP3 Light CPU cooler, an Alphacool NexXxoS UT 60 Full Copper heat exchanger as well as a Laing Pump with additional reservoir. Meanwhile we've taken pictures of all the individual products and we've also built our testsetup. As usual we took a lot of pictures, which we don't want to hide from you.
With Haswell, Intel mainly brougth optimizations to the integrated graphics unit. In this article we're going to have closer at the performance of Intels latest HD 4600 IGP and we're going to compare it to it's predecessor. Furthermore we've put the HD 4600 up against two APU's from AMD, namely the A10-5800K as well as the A10-6800K. For futher comparison we've also chosen three discrete GPU's which show where IGP's stand these days.
Today we've had a closer look at another memory kit from Patriot. This time it's been a set of two 8 Gigabyte Modules. According to the specs these sticks should be able to run at DDR3-2133C11 at 1.65 volt. As usual we want to know if these DIMM are capable of running at specs, if there is overclocking potential and if there is a competitive price tag.
After we've had a close look at quite a few memory kits from Kingston, we're now going to analyze another manufacturer's offers. This time we took a 2x8 Gigabyte kit from G.Skill to our chest, which, according to specs, should be able to do DDR3-2400 at CL11 and 1.65 volt. We're really curious to see what these low profile sticks can do.
Within the past two years there has been no other motherboard manufacturer, pushing harder than ASRock. The company introduced several new product lines and their success proves them right. One of the those great new series is the OC Formula series, which is being devloped by famous overclocker Nick Shih. One of the latest additions to the Line-up is the Z87 OC Formula, which offers are boatload of overclocking features and according to our chart update it's also a solid performer.
This quad channel kit might be the last Kingston HyperX set for quite a while. More will follow as soon as the mail man means well with us again. Nevertheless, with a 260 Euro price tag, this kit is not exactly what you would call cheap, it's much more of a flagship model and those DDR3-2400C11 specs are suspiciously high for a quad-channel kit, which is why we're quite curious to see what these sticks can do.
It's not even been one week that we've reviewed a high end memory kit from Patriot. With the Viper 3 Venom Red Series the next two sticks are waiting to be pushed through our memory tests. But one thing after another: first we want to present you a set of high resolution pictures from these modules.
With their DDR3-2800 modules, ADATA has a pair of high-end sticks in its XPG line-up, which is clocking exceptionally high. At this point we've taken a complete set of pictures and obviously, we don't want to hide them from you.
mATX Overclocking BoardThe Maximus VI Gene is the mATX version of the Maximus VI Extreme. In the past years, the Gene series have found lots of fans, since this board is not only perfect for overclocking but also for compact gaming rigs. Obviously, we've take a lot of pics again.
Today we've had a look at another memory kit, whereas this time it was quad-channel kit with 32 Gigabyte capacity. To be a bit more precise, we're talking about another one of Kingstons new Beast kits, and each of the four sticks offers 8 Gigabyte capacity. Regarding frequency it looks standard but since the price isn't standard but actually very steep we're expecting a lot from these sticks.
Next to the ARES series, G.Skill has a second product line in its portfolio, where you can find Module that work at 2400 MHz. With the RipjawsX 2x4GB with you get single sided memory sticks, which might be quite good for overclocking. But first things first: here we have some nice pictures from this kit.
Tesoro is a rather young company, which has set itself the target to develop peripherals under the slogan from gamers for gamers. With the Gungnir H5 we meanwhile have the third product from Tesoro for review and we're going to have a close look at this gaming rodent with optical sensor.
G.Skill is one of the memory manufacturers that serves a wide frequency palette with their memory modules. In this case it doesn't really matter what you're looking for G.Skill has it all. At this point we've pictured the Ares 2x8 GB DDR3-2400CL11 dual-channel kit and obviously we don't want to hide from you.
Usually we do not spill the beans when it comes to announcing a new review here in the news, but when it comes to this very memory kit, we just can't hold back. DDR3-2400 is the the maximum you can get from Patriot these day, at least when you look at the specs. But hell, when we started overclocking these modules, the excitement just doesn't stop.
With the Air 540, Corsair was brave enough to come out with a cube case. These days cases with quite unusual form factors are enjoying a growing fan base and with this context it's actually no wonder that Corsair is giving this a shot. In our review we will show you if Corsair succeeded in creating a great case or if the struggled.
Antec is well known for the high quality power supplies, which are based on designs from Delta. The new High Current Pro is the flagship series of Antec and it comes with an 80Plus Platinum certificate, which means this PSU offers excellent energy efficiency. At this point we've taken quite a few pictures, which we'd like to show you.
