| Asus P7P55D Deluxe Review reported at 01:38 PM |
| category: Socket 1156 Motherboards website: Tweak Town |
 | Article Quote:
Our first ASUS P55 motherboard we have been able to test has left us with an extremely pleasant taste in our mouths. The P7P55D not only has alot of features for a mainstream board along with quite a good variety of tweaking and overclocking options, but this truly a hardcore board aimed for the mainstream market. With a pretty reasonable price tag of just $219.99 USD over at Newegg, depending on what CPU you want, a Core i5 will set you back $200 or an i7 870 for a hefty $550; it's clearly much cheaper to setup a hardcore Lynnfield system. | | more info:·neoprofile

Nice try, Thermaltake, but the 850W market is much harder to crack than the 750W market is. The old CWT PSH platform just can't cut it, especially at the price you're asking for this one. | | more info: ·more p/reviews |
| Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X Review reported at 01:29 PM |
| category: Game Accelerator Cards website: Tweak Town |

If you're looking for a HD 5870 that stands out a bit more than the normal one, the Vapor-X version is one model worth looking at. If you want even more out of the box performance and you don't mind waiting a little longer, the inevitable ATOMIC version of the card might be what you're after. | | more info:·neoprofile

It proved to offer comparable performance to to the comparison cases in the testing, so maybe this case could be one for you. When you couple the rugged looks with the attractive price point you have a case that delivers on price, performance, and looks. | | more info:·neoprofile

| HIS Radeon HD 4890 iCooler x4 Review reported at 01:22 PM |
| category: Game Accelerator Cards website: TweakNews.net |
 | Article Quote:
The HD4890 iCooler x4 edition from HIS can be easily summed up as a performance bargain for US$179 at the time of this review. For those not interested in DX11 gaming and its related expensive videocards, the HD4890 is still a potent performer for the enthusiast gamer. The card tested today with its excellent heatpipe cooler and stellar overclocking performance should be considered over paying $50 more for a different name brand built off the same reference design. If you are questioning the brand, I have tested a lot of HIS videocards and NONE of them have EVER failed over the years of testing. | | more info:·neoprofile

| category: Game Accelerator Cards website: Techgage |
| Article Quote:
For those who want the best possible GPU for the money right now, the HD 5870 is hands-down the winner, and Sapphire only improves on the best with its Vapor-X, which proves itself to be well worth the $20 premium, and as a result, earned itself one of our Editor's Choice awards. | | more info:·neoprofile

| Cooler Master Storm Sniper Black Edition Review reported at 01:09 PM |
| category: Computer Cases/Enclosures website: Benchmark Reviews |
 | Article Quote:
I think it's obvious by now that I like this case a lot. For someone who is constantly making changes to their system, it's a joy to work in such a spacious environment. There's tons of room for cable management, so you don't feel like you're doing laser surgery when pulling an additional cable or two through the cutouts. It looks great, will cool anything I throw in it, and I can dial the fans down when I want to catch some Zs. All for less than a buck fifty. I don't change cases all that often, but this one is tempting me to make it the new standard. I can't imagine a better endorsement. | | more info:·neoprofile

| Asus M4A785TD-M EVO Review reported at 01:00 PM |
| category: Socket AM3 website: Motherboards.org |
 | Article Quote:
For the target market of the AMD Socket AM3 CPU purchaser the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO doesn’t get much better than this as the board looks good, performs great and has the features you would want from a motherboard with integrated graphics. The price point on the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO is $99.99 on Newegg, making it competitive with the other 785 boards out there. You get the ASUS branding which is always worth something as they put a lot of quality parts and workmanship into their boards, and you get the features from ASUS including Turbo Key, EPU, Express Gate and more. Overall, this is a very good board for this platform from the folks at ASUS. | | more info:·neoprofile
