Gigabyte G1.Sniper2 Z68 Motherboard Review
"I'm just going to come out and say it. When GIGABYTE released the G1 line-up, I hated it. I was really bummed that they decided to concentrate on the X58 chipset and ignore the P67 chipset. By the time the G1 line came out the 2600k had well and truly established itself as the processor to buy thanks to its strong overclocking potential and excell... [PCSTATS]

AMD Llano Graphics Battle: Gallium3D vs. Catalyst
The GIGABYTE G1.Sniper2 Z68 motherboard supports the latest Sandy Bridge processors as well as the upcoming 22nm Ivy Bridge. The G1.Sniper2 Z68 motherboard is also first to support PCIE3 since Ivy Bridge brings native PCI-E 3.0 support to the Intel platform. For network gaming performance, the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 2 Z68 motherboard is equipped with a... [PCSTATS]

Corsair Force Series 3 240GB Review
"A month ago we looked at the Radeon HD 6550D graphics
performance from the AMD Fusion A8-3850 (a new "Llano" APU) under Linux
when using the Catalyst driver. However, bugs at the time had barred a
comparison of the Llano graphics under Linux with the open-source
Mesa/Gallium3D driver. Fortunately, we now have a working open-source
Radeon... [PCSTATS]

MICROSOFT HOTMAIL DOWN?
"A few weeks ago we covered the Corsair Force Series GT drive, a performance tuned model based on Sandforce technology. Today we have the Force Series 3 drive on our test bench, a drive that aims to target a lower price point while still offering excellent performance."

ECS A990FXM-A Motherboard


"Spire's Gemini SP986B1-V2-2P heatsink is a minor variation on the popular Eclipse II tower heatsink design, the most notable difference being a novel bifurcated fin stack. To 'bifurcate' means to split into two... so in other words, the fin stack is... [PCSTATS]

Zotac ZBOX AD02 Plus Review
"The Nikon Coolpix S2500 is priced at under £100 and offers a 12.1 mega pixel image sensor, a 2.7-inch LCD monitor and a slim body. Offered in a variety of colour schemes and including a number of auto functions means this digital camera is a very tempting point-and-shoot camera purchase. Lets see if it’s worth the money." ...

Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1.35v Review
"Well by now you all know who ZOTAC are as they have built up a decent reputation over the last couple of years, most of you know ZOTAC for their graphics cards and mini ITX motherboards, but more recently they have been coming to the market with barebones style systems based on the latest CPU’s from Intel (ION) and now AMD (E350-APU) platform, whi...

Fractal Design CORE 1000
"Sapphire's Edge HD2 is the smallest of the small, an ultra compact mini PC boasting FullHD media capabilities. With Intel's Atom D535 and NVIDIA ION 2 graphics it has the paper specs, but does it compare favorably to Sapphire's own Pure Fusion Mini E-350? "

MSI X460DX 14" Core i5 Notebook Review
The CORE 1000 is the most affordable entry into the Micro ATX case market from Fractal Design. It is aimed to take on the Cooler Master Elite and the Xigmatek Asgard by offering as many features at an affordable price point. Will it prevail?

Fractal Design Define Mini Micro-ATX Chassis Review
The MSI X460DX straddles two of the more popular notebook form-factors available today. It's not an ultraportable, and it's not a mainstream 15-incher either. Instead, its 14-inch form factor gives mobile consumers another choice. It's a platform size that we don't think is used enough, and it doesn't get nearly enough attention. That said, MSI has...

Corsair HX1050 PSU Review
Not too long ago, we took a look at Fractal Design’s Define R3 ATX chassis and came away impressed. Today, we’re going to examine the R3’s younger sibling, the Define Mini Micro-ATX tower chassis. The Define Mini holds a lot of promise with six 2.5”/3.5” internal and two 5.25” external bays, six fan slots, support for expansion cards up to 400mm in... [PCSTATS]

Crucial M4 256GB Update
"I couldn't recommend this power supply on a cost/performance basis alone, when you can have a Corsair AX1200 for a very similar price. It'll certainly get the job done and is capable of powering any high-end gaming rig with two or even three high-end graphics cards. and on that basis it's certainly deserves an OCC Bronze award - but it's hard to j...

AMD expands desktop lineup of AMD Fusion APUs
A short while ago we reviewed the Crucial M4 256GB SSD but we couldn't just leave things at that since a new (supposedly) performance increasing firmware was just released for it. In this quick article we look at the differences brought about by this new, much ballyhooed 0009 version. Has Crucial accomplished the impossible by releasing an easy... [PCSTATS]

GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD3P Review
"We love SSDs here at TweakTown; not just as a site, but all of our writers love what SSD technology brings to the table. Most of us here actually run SSD setups including the boss who late last year moved to a 4x 256GB SATA III Crucial setup.. One of the biggest requirements for myself when upgrading my testbeds recently was the introduction of la... [PCSTATS]
