Tuesday Reviews

The AOpen AX4C Max motherboard is well thought out with all the necessary connections well placed, including space between the DDR memory slots and AGP slot. For a difference the Battery is fitted upright along the left edge of the motherboard. Again good to see a fan assisted chipset heatsink and there is a heatsink fitted to an essential power MOSFET just above it

There is nothing special about Leadtek A350TDH, standard PCB and heatsink are used; it is just a standard Nvidia FX5900 graphics card. At its current price (~$800NZ), Leadtek A350TDH is one of the cheapest FX5900 around and should compete quite well with ATi's R9800Pro 128MB

AeroGate II is Cooler Master's new 5.25” bay thermal controller that gives you the ability of adjusting and monitoring 4 different temperature areas of your computer; CPU, VGA, HDD and CASE. You not only have control of and vital information but you do it all in absolute style

I honestly don't even know where to start on this category as there are so many things that I think warrant mentioning, most of 'em are even good! I'm just gonna randomly throw them at cha rapid fire like.. Let's do it

As you can see from the benchmark results, the Albatron Gigi FX5600EQ didn’t really have the steam to deliver the kind of marks we had half expected to see. Something else that was realized during our testing was the lack of overclocking potential. We muscled with it for about an hour and the best that we were able to hit was a mere 331/410

While using this case I wanted to test it for three things: Ease of assembly/disassembly, cooling, and my personal taste on how the case looks. While using the case, I intentionally DID NOT look at the instruction manual in order to see how intuitively designed the Sonata is. Simply enough, if the case requires a huge manual to figure out how everything is installed, then there is a problem, and I wanted a case that could be easily used

Hallo, als zweiten CPU-Kühler in unserer Kühlerwoch, haben wir den MIPROCOOL-Arctic. Dieser hat von der Computer Bild, sogar die Auszeichnung "Preis-Leistung-Sieger" bekommen. Ob diese Auszeichnug uns auch überzeugen konnt, lest bitte selber im Bericht nach. Und vergleicht die Werte in den Luftkühler Charts.

All the parts included in the kit are comprised of high quality aluminum with the exception of the heat pipe itself, which is a nickel-plated copper tube. A 24-page instruction manual covers all the details of each component, basic heatsink installation, clip installation for NVIDIA and ATI based video cards, heat pipe installation and fan installation.
