Abit IT7 Review
|
|
DDR
Zone are looking at the rather nice Abit IT7. This legacy
free board packs a heap of features in to a very nice
package.
|
|
The move to discontinue legacy ports has been a pretty
big step forward for both Abit and the computer industry.
However is seems to be paying off, with the mass adoption
of this board in both the 'hardcore' and the 'home user'
and Video editing sectors. The Intel flavor
of the xT7 series is the IT7, it is based around the i845e
chipset supplied by Intel. It is a DDR based board accepting
up to 2gb in 3 sticks. It comes impressively packaged
and has a whole suite of extra features.

Creative 3D Blaster 5 RX9700
|
|
TBREAK
have just finished reviewing Creative's 3D Blaster 5 RX9700.
The Radeon 9700 takes some very impressive benchmark wins
but not always by as much as you might imagine it would,
particularly in Commanche4 where the Ti4600 takes the
plaudits.
|
|
Creative has a very interesting history with graphics
cards. It¡¦s the only company we know of
that has produced graphics cards based on 3DFX, S3, nVidia
and ATI technologies. What¡¦s even more interesting
is that earlier this year, Creative acquired 3D Labs meaning
we shall be looking at Creative's "in-house"
graphics cards soon. Now that does raise an interesting
point- why would Creative chose to release a Radeon 9700
Pro based card when they're expecting their own 3D Labs
solution pretty soon. We don¡¦t have an answer
for that yet, however, we do have Creative's Radeon 9700
Pro based card- the 3D Labs Blaster 5 RX9700 in out hands
today.

Black Cold Cathode Light & Vantec Rounded IDE Cables
Review
|
|
3dXtreme
announce their Black Cold Cathode Light & UV Sensitive
Vantec Rounded IDE Cables Review.
|
|
Today 3dXtreme will be looking at Jab-Tech's cold cathode
black light and Vantec's UV sensitive Rounded cables incorporating
both products into a single review. While the Vantec rounded
cables could be a review by themselves, half the reason
I received them was for their UV sensitivity and to show
off the reason for moving to a black light Cold Cathode.

MSI 845Ultra-ARU Review
|
|
It's
taken two months of blood, sweat, tears and swearing but
after sending two of his three evaluation boards to that
great silicon graveyard in the sky Dwayne over at PCExtreme
has posted his look at MSI's 845 Ultra-ARU. I think he
invented a new award category for it too!
|
|
The MSI 845Ultra-ARU has been on the market for about
9 months now so it isn't a new product, but it is an outstanding
overclocking platform. I originally started this review
in June of this year, and it started out looking very
good for this motherboard. The performance and overclocking
options are outstanding, and the extras this board packs
make it stand out among some of the best motherboards
on the market. But since I started the review, I have
run into some major problems, and I feel it is my duty
to report them. Whether they are design flaws or not remains
uncertain.

Spire Coolers review
|
|
The
guys over at pcreviewspot.com have lauched their back-2-back
spire cooler
review. They review two of spire's top coolers: the SkiveStream
and the
WhisperRock II.

Check out those micro fins! When micro fins are used,
they greatly increase the surface area and cooling capacity
of the heatsink. The shear thinness of the fins allows
the heat to be
removed very quickly using very little air flow....it
has a copper core for better heat dissipation, and to
remove heat away from the core as fast as possible as
you will see in our results.
