AMD HD6790 @ PCSTATS
Originally released in 2009, the AMD HD58xx series graphics card quickly gained popularity due to their ability to fully support DX 11, providing a completely new level of tessellation. Released in October of 2009, the HD5850 filled the lower end of the performance slot and was able to deliver great performance for its price. Originally, the HD5850 was oriented towards users who wanted that extra punch, but didn't feel the need to go overboard with their graphics. However, for those that wish to take full advantage of the HD5850, CrossFire is available, and considering the low price of the graphics card, this should be easily accessible.

Seagate Barracuda XT 3TB @ PCSTATS
'The AMD HD6790 is aimed to bridge the gap between the HD5770 and the HD6850. In essence it is a HD6800-card where AMD has just cut away some shader processors and som ROP's. We've put it through a series of benchmarks as well as overclocked it to see what it can do.'

HIS HD6850 and HIS HD6850 IceQ X Turbo @ PCSTATS
The Seagate Barracuda XT 3TB is the fastest mechanical drive that we have tested. The drive has excellent sequential read and write up to 150MB/s. While SSDs may grab the market headlines, they are still relatively expensive at $1.5 per gigabyte and with capacity limited to a few hundred gigabytes. At 0.08 cents per gigabyte, the Seagate Barracuda XT offers an excellent pricing as a secondary drive to complement the limited storage capacity of the SSD. With 3TB of space, 64MB Cache, 7200 RPM and SATA 6Gb/s interface, the Barracuda XT 3TB definitely won't bog down a system. It is also hard to say no to the drive considering that it comes with a 5 year warranty, while most mainstream hard drives now only carry 3 year warranty.

MSI GTX550 Ti Cyclone OC Video Card Review @ PCSTATS
HIS has been making ATI and AMD cards for many years now. In fact, it is now almost exactly 7 years since we reviewed our first HIS card, the HIS Excalibur 9600XT Turbo VIVO Edition. As expected, HIS is fully supporting AMD's latest GPUs, and today we are reviewing two HIS cards using the HD6850 GPU: the HIS HD6850 and the HIS HD6850 IceQ X Turbo.
The HD6850 is in our opinion one of the more interesting GPU from AMD's HD6xxx series as it offers a very good performace versus price ratio. Not only that, as we will see in this review, the GPU also overclocks extremely well making its value even greater.

Intel DH67CF Mini-ITX Board mit Core i5-2300 Quadcore reviewed @ PCSTATS

CM Storm Spawn Gaming Mouse Review @ PCSTATS
"Über zwei Jahre ist es her, seitdem wir zuletzt ein Intel Mini-ITX Mainboard ausführlich getestet haben. Damals hatte ich das "DQ45EK" (Review Link) aus der Executive Series sehr positiv getestet. Nun ist uns seitens CarTFT.com das brandneue "DH67CF" aus der Multimedia Series auf Intel H67 Chipsatzbasis für neueste Core i5 und i3 Prozessoren für einen umfangreichen Test zur Verfügung gestellt worden. Ich hatte ja bereits Mitte Februar einige Unboxing- und Assembling Pictures des Boards sowie des Testsystems präsentieren können. Nachdem bereits das zuletzt von uns getestete mITX Board aus der Multimedia-Reihe sich mit seinen Testergebnissen durchaus sehen lassen konnte, darf man gespannt sein, inwieweit Intel diesen hohen Ansprüchen gerecht werden kann." (...)
Kurzer Auszug aus dem Fazit: "Die hier von uns verwendete Mainboard/Prozessor-Kombination mit dem Core i5-2300 mag aufgrund der 95W Wärmeverlustleistung nicht besonders sparsam erscheinen. Ich wurde im laufe der Tests jedoch eines Besseren belehrt, denn zum Beispiel bei Wiedergabe diverser Medienformate verbrauchte das System gerade mal 25W bis 35W, was sich sicherlich durchaus sehen lassen kann. Wir können das Board, das auch mit kleineren und günstigeren 2.Generation Core i CPUs ausgerüstet werden kann, für Systeme im Home Bereich durchaus empfehlen, sei es als Home Cinema PC (HTPC) oder auch als Desktop System."

"Today for review I’ve got what is probably one of the best Bluetooth speakerphones on the market today called the Buddy, it’s from a company called SuperTooth. I’ve red good things about their products, but never had the chance until now to test any out. The Buddy clips to the visor in your car so it’s easy accessible while driving, and it has a one thousand hour standby time with twenty hours of talk time after charging it for only three hours. "

ICY DOCK MB974SP-B Review @ Vortez @ PCSTATS
Finding a good gaming mouse isn't hard, but finding one that's wireless is. Even high-end options suffer from a major flaw: poor battery life. GIGABYTE realizes this and made sure no one could say that about its Aivia M8600, which in our tests lasted an entire week in 'gaming' mode. Let's see if that, and its other features, warrant the M8600's $105 price.

ASUS P8P67 PRO P67 Motherboard Review @ PCSTATS
"Overclocking the E350N was a fairly simple task. I started by bumping the bus speed up in increments of five, then adjusting the voltage until it was stable. I finally settled at 110MHz @ 1.5V (+0.250V), which remained stable during all the testing. In addition, switching the memory multiplier from 5.3 to 6.6 yielded a stable 1333MHz clock on the RAM without any voltage increase. Unfortunately, I could not squeeze any extra MHz out of the GPU without causing instability."

Nvidia GeForce GTX 590: The Dual-GF110 Beast @ PCSTATS
Reviewers are often criticized for the kind of articles we write. I am not talking about those who write so-called reviews where I can literally find more information about the product on the manufacturer's website, but with some shameless self promotion plug in all forms of humility -- even quality pieces of writings (Like the ones we publish here at APH Networks) are no exception. The reason for this does not lie in the hands of the one who writes the review. The reason for this comes down to the nature of each article. It is easy for us to get the latest and greatest computer components for evaluation, and while those reviews are exceptionally popular all the time, what good does it do for the common individual? Not everyone is interested in spending huge amounts of money for the best computer parts in the market. Of course, if you are reading this review, chances are that you are looking for something that is more... mainstream. Not 'low end' or 'cheap', but mainstream, midrange performance -- the most sought after market bracket by all board manufacturers. So don't complain to us that we go Lamborghini all day and ignore all the Hondas of this world, because we specifically wanted the ASUS P8P67 PRO for our review today. Following the brilliant ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution we have taken a look at last week, how well does the P8P67 PRO hold its own against its bigger brother? We've got you covered.

XFX PRO 850 W Power Supply Review @ PCSTATS
Nvidia's long awaited Dual-GPU video card is finally here. The GeForce GTX 590 is designed for enthusiast gamers that need the highest graphics performance and image quality from a single video card. The GTX 590 is a DX11 based video card designed to allow users to turn up their graphics settings--including resolution, anti-aliasing, and image quality--without causing excessive performance decreases which would otherwise render games impossible to play. With full control over Nvidia's driver game presets and other graphics features, users can also enjoy image quality customization which would allow them to use up to 64x anti-aliasing with a single GTX 590 and up to 128xAA with two GTX 590s combined for Quad SLI. The user needs to over-ride the application AA through the Nvidia drivers. Once that is done a Multi-GPU 64x AA is possible with a single GTX 590.

Gainward GeForce GTX 550 Ti Golden/Good Sample Review @ PCSTATS
HTC was the first manufacturer to provide a 4G phone though a US carrier when it shipped the HTC EVO 4G from Sprint. At the end of last year, HTC promised it would once again be the first to 4G with another carrier. And days later, the company announced the Thunderbolt smartphone with Verizon Wireless. It's been a few months since the announcement, and although there were many rumored release dates for the phone, it only recently became available for consumers to purchase.
As the first 4G LTE device in the United States, the Thunderbolt is definitely a hot smartphone that many users can't wait to get their hands on. Not only does it boast of 4G speeds, but it also has a large 4.3-inch display, fast 1GHz Snapdragon processor, plenty of storage space, and the ability to share its fast connection with up to eight Wi-Fi enabled devices through the Mobile Hotspot feature...
