Are you running out of power? I am taking a look at the ToughPower 1500Watt power supply from Thermaltake. My first thoughts before testing this huge PSU was to find second job to pay the electric bill, but it seems that the ToughPower 1500Watt PSU is very power effecient. The cables are all modular (apart from the main atx power cable) which is great seeing you would only have to connect those needed to run your system instead of having to tie down all the access cables which you dont use. Some say size does matter, well in this case it’s true. A normal PSU has a length of about 16cm, the ToughPower 1500Watt takes up 20cm. Will it fit in a case?

Thermaltake is known for their cool cases and their latest editions will only enforce that fact. The Xaser VI series include aircooled cases with clear side panels and mesh panels as well as watercooled editions. I will be looking at the VG4000BNS, which has red mesh on both sides, although I like the color red it kinda hurt my eyes when looking at it 24/7 so I decided to change the case by giving it a paint job. As you can see it looks a lot better and easier on the eyes. But let’s not get to far ahead, read on to check out the full review of the original Xaser VI.

With these memory heat spreaders with heat-pipe you improve the dissipation of the heat your memory chips are producing. Less heat means a more stable operation and less fatal errors. These Nexus memory heat spreaders with heat-pipe technology are now available in three colors, black, silver, and blue.

G.Skill send us a 4GB DDR2 kit, while installing 4GB seems to be a problem in Vista and on some motherboards I have’nt had any trouble at all. I used Windows Vista HP 64-bit seeing Vista 32-bit is’nt able to adress the full 4GB of memory. But I have tested these modules with Vista HP 32-bit as well and they worked just fine, but I had to with 3,5GB instead of the full 4GB. Wanna know more read on.

The year 2007 is almost past and we have seen a lot of changes. Intel still going strong with their Core 2 Duo and Quad cpu’s and the popularity for the P35, X38 and the up and coming X48 chipsets left nVidia on the back burner for a while now. There have been alot of issues with the nForce680i chipset in the past and the 780i should solve most of them. Strange part is that the 780i is in fact a 680i with an added additional PCIe 2.0 bridge chipset. Here is a shot of the board and it’s layout, do keep in mind that this is not the retail version.

I recently got the chance to play with not one but two cpu’s from Intel, the Intel E6750 which runs at 2,66Ghz and the QX6850 which runs at 3.0Ghz. This review is not about one vs the other, looking at them pricewise the QX6850 would be the winner weighing in at $ 944,- (http://ads.justrelevant.com/product_detail.php?ad_partner=hardwarexl ad_channel= zipcode= ad_master_id=43354181) (OEM). But then again if your budget isn’t up that then the E6750 might win you over selling for $ 194,- (http://ads.justrelevant.com/product_detail.php?ad_partner=hardwarexl ad_channel= zipcode= ad_master_id=43369636) (OEM) does make it look very attractive.

A few days back I received a small package from Hong Kong, included in the package where two small tubes of Tuniq TX-2 High Performance Thermal Compound. Accoording to Tuniq, TX-2 achieves the best interface between your CPU and the heatsinks by its unique designed molecular size and shape. Without any metal or electric conductive, Tuniq TX2 is safe, reliable and the most effective thermal compound for your valuable CPUs and coolers . Safe in terms, it will not explode when if it makes contact with human skin. But do keep away from children, my (one year old) daughter managed to grab one of the tubes this morning when I was’nt looking. Maybe she ran out her self? Read on to find out more.

I had run out of cooling compound so I send my girlfriend out to get some. My first reaction was that she had bought some nail polish and totally forgot to buy me some cooling compound. After inspecting the package a bit more I realized that what she had bought was infact a new product from Zalman, disguised as nail polish

When you order an Alienware Area-51 7500 Computer System, prepare yourself for a beast. This not only mean that it is a huge computer, but as well as a really heavy one (over 50lbs), and don’t get fooled by the hardware. Even the cheapest build from them will have no problem playing the latest computer games available.
