Titan TTC-NK95TZ Entertainer Review @ OCC :: Posted by THRASHER2
"I was slightly skeptical at first due to its size, the poorly machined base, and the slight gapping between the aluminum contact plate and the heatpipes, but after testing the Entertainer, I will admit I almost didn't think the temperatures that I was seeing were correct. It idled and loaded under stock conditions at nearly the same as the Cooler Master Hyper N620, which has to be at least twice its size and boasts and extra fan. To be sure, I actually retested the N620 to make sure it didn't read any different that it did originally, and it did not."

NZXT Lexa S Mid-Tower Case Review @ OCIA.net :: Posted by THRASHER2
"Today I have for review NZXT's latest in their Crafted Series of cases, the mid-tower Lexa S. Now you may recognize that name, in fact NZXT has previously released two other cases under the Lexa moniker, the original Lexa and the Lexa Blackline. All three are considered mid-tower cases, with the Lexa S measuring up at just under 19" tall by 21" long and 8" wide. The Lexa S comes pre-installed with a bunch of fans and provisions for liquid cooling. Join me as I take a closer look at the NZXT Lexa S."

XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB Video Card Review @ Legit Reviews :: Posted by THRASHER2
"In our performance testing the XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB was up against some stiff competition, namely itآ’s faster and more expensive 4000 series brothers. To say that the 4850 1GB is a bad card would be incorrect. At just $124.99 it is an extremely capable gaming card and the best bang for the buck in our testing today. A few years ago, buying a sub $150 video card meant that you had to keep the resolution low and turn down or off certain in-game features in order to get playable results. That is not the case today, the XFX Radeon HD 4850 1GB is able to play the latest games with all the eye candy on, though the compromise will be keeping it 1680x1050 or lower in most cases..."

Zalman CNPS10X Extreme CPU Cooler - BCCHardware :: Posted by THRASHER2
The interesting thing about the second test is that the Zalman CNPS10X Extreme cooler didn't have any issues when we added a 140 watt processor, and shows a bigger margin of victory over the other coolers than it did in our Intel testing. The Thermaltake Big Typhoon 14 was pretty much the only cooler that really gave it too much competition (and the Big Typhoon 14 is a huge cooler itself). . .
