    OPPO Digital Shows Off New Headphones and Headphone Amplifier

    Its a division of the same company. Its wrong to assume that their tradition in high quality products wouldn't be translated in their audio offerings. This prejudice is more of the same "made in china = cheap crap" ignorance without realizing that most of the higher end electronics are...

    OPPO Digital Shows Off New Headphones and Headphone Amplifier

    That's so wrong. There's nothing cheap about Oppo smartphones since they use the same components as the bigger brands and the build quality is top notch. You might want to get your facts checked before vomiting stuff like this. You could come across as ignorant. Wait, its too late.

    SilverStone Launches the Heligon HE02 CPU Cooler

    Who cares about Cooler master and their lame products? And who tested such a difference? Generalizing based on a single particular situation: not the smartest attitude.

    SilverStone Launches the Heligon HE02 CPU Cooler

    You must be right since most of the industry giants, Thermalright, Noctua, Prolimatech, Phanteks etc, have jumped on the hdt bandwagon. /end sarcasm HDT technology is nothing but a marketing gimmick started by second tier companies like Xigmatek, because they could score a bigger profit from...

    MAINGEAR Maximizes CPU Heat Transfer With the EPIC T1000 Thermal Cooling Solution

    One thing I can vouch for: if the IHS and the heatsink/waterblock aren't lapped perfectly flat than any result is pretty much compromised. And as I can clearly see legitreviews are using an unlapped cpu. Lets just say they invalidated their results by "accident". Too bad some folks read and...

    MAINGEAR Maximizes CPU Heat Transfer With the EPIC T1000 Thermal Cooling Solution

    Sorry but I don't buy that. Not even Liquid pro managed to destroy anything:

    MAINGEAR Maximizes CPU Heat Transfer With the EPIC T1000 Thermal Cooling Solution

    Talking about a marketing failure. If its only 3 degrees better than AS5 that means most modern conventional thermal compounds will better this without the hassle. Grab yourselves some MX-4 and forget about this warranty voiding bullshit.

    Cooler Master Unveils the X6 and X6 Elite CPU Coolers

    Kingston HyperX 240 GB

    My bad on this one. I'm probably used to your vga charts where I'm pretty sure you don't test all of the previous cards with the latest drivers and that makes them a little bit irrelevant at times. That's ok also because it would be a gargantuan task.

    Kingston HyperX 240 GB

    Y u no test Samsung 830? :) On a more serious note the main reason the kingston came on top is because it probably has the latest firmware. If you update the other SF based ones and the Marvell ones the differences are even smaller.

    ASUS Reveals Four New Eee PCs, Three are based on Cedar Trail

    I can play games and watch 1080p movies on a big screen from my wife's C50 equipped Acer. That is just nice. I don't think cedar trails can do that/ Asus sticking to those appalling displays for this generation is a big fail in my book.
