G.SKILL Ripjaws-X F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD 2x4GB review @ APH Networks

Matt — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 13:03:12 +0000

“Just a quick glance at the calendar on my right, I noticed it was Valentine’s Day when I wrote this introductory paragraph for this review. (Before you ask, yes I did write this paragraph a whole month and a half ahead of publication — I ran into some problems during this review, causing such a massive delay.) How convenient. So allow me make a confession at this point: I love Sandy Bridge. No, it is not a girl named Sandy with last name Bridge. According to my Facebook profile, I don’t even know anyone called Sandy. But inside my latest desktop build humming silently next to me sits something that is, according to any computer geek out there, even better than knowing Sandy in real life. And Sandy is very impressive. She is impeccably smart. She is matchless among her peers in every way. The moment you meet her, you know you don’t want anyone else. And best of all, she is actually within reasonable reach. Of course, I am talking about none other than Intel’s second generation Core processors code named Sandy Bridge, and from our review last week, you can see how it completely blew its predecessor away in posting truly impressive numbers across the board. And all this is before you start overclocking it. But let’s not pretend a computer awesome is just because of the processor alone. To complement the latest Intel CPUs, G.SKILL is back in the game again with their latest line of memory products. The Ripjaws-X RAM, optimized for the Sandy Bridge platform, promises to deliver high performance with excellent value like the Lynnfield-optimized Ripjaws DDR3-1600 8GB CL7 set we have reviewed back in October last year. What we have here is one of their top of the heap, seriously fast DDR3-2133 Ripjaws-X F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD 8GB dual channel kit sitting here at APH Networks right now — but how well does it perform in our usual battery of benchmarks? We gave it a shot and have all the details for you in our review today.”

Zalman CNPS11X Extreme CPU Cooler Review @ Tweaknews

Matt — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:58:59 +0000

“Zalman really has it going on with the new 11X Extreme. The five composite heatpipes and the innovative design allow its fan to provide some excellent cooling with very reasonable acoustics. Really, the only complaint I have about the 11X is the mounting solutions. While the cooler is very secure with this mounting scheme, I miss the ease with which most previous Zalman coolers could be installed, even inside the case.”

ASUS EAH 6990 Review @ ocaholic

Matt — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:54:34 +0000

“With the EAH 6990, ASUS presents its first AMD Radeon HD 6900 series graphics card featuring two GPUs. The successor of the already very powerful Radeon HD 5970 lets us all hope for another superb graphics card with excellent performance because it’s a fully functionnal dual Cayman XT (aka Radeon HD 6970) with high clock speeds. We expect really good DX11 performance and we’re going to show you if the Radeon HD 6990 performs as well as an HD 6970 CrossFire setup.”

Seagate GoFlex 1TB External Drive for Mac Review @ Bigbruin.com

Matt — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:52:12 +0000

“Once again, we are quite pleased with the overall performance of a Seagate GoFlex product. Seagate is clearly hoping the GoFlex for Mac will fill one of the only real voids left in the GoFlex lineup, and at the same time provide a product targeted directly at Mac users. While their other products do work with OS X out of the box, the others are not optimized for the Mac platform.”

Epson WorkForce 840 All-in-One Printer @ TestFreaks

Matt — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 13:49:53 +0000

“Today for review I’ve got the latest Epson printer, the WorkForce 840 that is an all-in-one style printer that does everything your home or small office might need it to do. The 840 is something for users that need a workhorse of a printer like this. The 840 features dual paper trays so it can handle a whopping 500 pages, and it has built-in double sided printing so you won’t waste paper on those less important documents, like draft or like coloring pages for your kids. The Epson WorkForce 840 is a worthy addition to the WorkForce line of printers, it certainly live up to the name.”

“Deepcool has hit the intended mark again. The Ice Matrix Pro triumphs above its contenders with four heat pipes, 47 aluminum fins, and a single 120mm fan.

Matt — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 22:31:41 +0000

“The PNY GTX 560 Ti OC2 is one card that certainly looks to pushing the performance envelope since this particular model comes with a strong factory overclock out of the box. It’s got a competitive price of $250, but can it compete against AMD’s Radeon lineup? Let’s jump in and find out.”
