    NZXT Debuts HALE90 Power Supply Series

    When we get bored with black, its white all over again. When we will get bored with this new white, what...? Black and red isn't dead, its replaced with white and red :)

    XFX Readies Pair of Single-Slot Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Cards

    Higher temps, Less materials, and it would be more expensive than the full-sized card! WooT i like how these things work :laugh: And i'm still gonna get it, to compensate for ASUS's we-only-have-six-slots-for-ya motherboards (and using several expansion cards).

    Acer Designs Aspire One Netbook With Low-Wattage AMD Processor

    I'm glad to see AMD is expanding into Netbooks. power consumption is a bit high but if the performance is good, this can be a nice package (with the GPU). I think this should be priced competitively in order to roll the platform in the long run.

    GeForce GTX 400 Series Performance Expectations Hit the Web

    Very interesting.. ofcourse this can be a ploy by NVIDIA to dazzle us untill the real deal is here, shocking the gaming community (as AMD did with the "400 shaders" HD4xxx) If this info is true - they should Ship these cards with Doom 5 ;)

    ASUS ROG P55 Maximus III Formula in Pretty Pixels

    Looks amazing. though i can't help but notice that ALOT of the newer motherboards use this color-scheme. originality anyone? Me still wishes for some white and red combination, like some of the older sapphire boards :respect:

    (Useful Tool) AMD OC Calculator in Excel

    Hi, I've been expecting such comments, and they are good and valid, and i do intend to expand this tool with more features and tweaks. its a WIP. :) The tool is simple, it won't predict your optimal timing, nor it will incorporate statistical values and OC database, because its too much for its...

    (Useful Tool) AMD OC Calculator in Excel

    Hi guys, I wanted to share with you this little tool i've made recently, which makes the majority of the OC math fast and simple. We have all been in those moments infront of the BIOS, trying to find the sweet spot while calculating those multipliers and divisors, and finally getting lost with...

    Athlon X2 7750 BE Unlocked to Quad-Core

    ^ Dont forget this isn't 100% sure and there is no guarantee whatsoever. About what npp said: its all about volume. sell thousands of cheap parts, instead of hundreds of more expensive ones. if the average joe see the potential in buying a dual-core which is dirt-cheap, and unlocking it to tri...

    Athlon X2 7750 BE Unlocked to Quad-Core

    Me suspects a plot by AMD to rule the (CPU) world :wtf: Seriously, think about it: AMD use all native-quads for their different lineups, and one day, slips a bios or some patch that unlocks dormant cores... if its true, AMD are w1zzards lol. This gives their processors so much value, alot of...

    DFI Prepares LANParty JR 790GX-M3H5 AM3 mATX Motherboard

    I only have 1 expansion card, my good old PCI Soundblaster Live!, and shame you couldnt see how my radeon X1950 cooked it over time, to the point where it is now dead. the cards were so close to eachother, that the whole sound card got steaming hot over long gameplay sessions. this was never the...

    DFI Prepares LANParty JR 790GX-M3H5 AM3 mATX Motherboard

    I don't get the idea with these minimized boards which support even mounting a microwave on them.. i'm a microATX board user myself, and its hard to decide which expansion card will be scrapped just because you have an heatsink on your graphics card, and almost any other part won't fit with it...

    Single-PCB GeForce GTX 295 in the Works

    Exactly! I don't hate NVidia, i hate the SANDWICH design. OnionMan, the hope is for them to stop making these sandwiches permanently, and stick to one pcb designs for good. no matter how long this new 295 lasts on the market, the important thing is the change in design approach imo. :toast:
