SilverStone Kublai Series KL03 Case Review @ Madshrimps |
|
May 09, 2008 - 2:17 PM - by Canis Lupus
|
Drop your sushi, the Mad Shrimps are at it again! Today they post a review of a nice new case, the SilverStone Kublai Series KL03 Case. If any case can, the Kublai can! Get it? Kublai can?
Uh, anyway, here's an excerpt:
"A Silverstone case with LED lightening in none rectangular front panel? The Kublai series is Silverstone's entry in the Gaming/Enthusiast ATX case market. Build with less expensive materials it aims to find a balance between price, looks and features. We take a look at the KL03 model in this review to see how it stacks up to the competition."
Check out their full review here... and I demand you at least snicker at my "Kublai can" pun, damnit...

GIGABYTE X48T-DQ6 Motherboard Review @ Bjorn3D |
|
May 09, 2008 - 2:01 PM - by Canis Lupus
|
The dudes over at Bjorn3D just posted a review of another new swanky mobo, the GIGABYTE X48T-DQ6. Here's a snip:
"Today we are going to take a look at GIGABYTE's high end motherboard, the X48T-DQ6. GIGABYTE makes two versions of this board utilizing Intel's X48 chipset. The X48 which is a DDR2 variant and the X48T which is the DDR3 version that we will be covering today. The X48 brings minimal changes to the chipset when compared to the X38 and the only tangible difference should be more overclocking headroom. In recent years GIGABYTE has truly reinvented itself as a leader in innovation. In today's world the name of the game, or color to be more specific, is green. We have green cars, green homes and now you can add motherboards to the growing list of items going green. GIGABYTE has made a concerted effort to produce motherboards that use the least amount of energy possible without sacrificing performance. A task not easily accomplished. To this end they have dubbed this innovation DES or Dynamic Energy Saver. A system which can adjust voltage, power phases and clocks speeds of the board and CPU to ensure as little energy as possile is wasted while providing as much power as needed. Is it possible to have a power efficient system without losing performance? Let's find out."
I recommend doing as they say - let's find out by reading their full review here.

Enermax PRO82+ 525 W Power Supply Review @ Hardware Secrets |
|
May 08, 2008 - 8:08 PM - by Canis Lupus
|
The guys at Hardware Secrets keep spilling the beans, this time by reviewing the Enermax PRO82+ 525 W Power Supply, which the manufacturer claims to have 84% efficiency. Can it really deliver 525 W with 84% efficiency? I guess we'll find out. Here's an excerpt:
"Enermax has recently released two high-efficiency power supply series, MODU82+ and PRO82+. The name implies that products from these two series have efficiency of at least 82%, but Enermax says they actually have efficiency of at least 84%. Both use the same internal project, with MODU82+ models using a modular cabling system. Today we are going to take an in-depth look on the 525 W model from the PRO82+ series (also known as EPR525AWT) and see if it can really deliver its labeled power and efficiency. Read on."
I suggest doing what they said, by reading the full review here.
