Sapphire flexes custom 7-series Radeons
Computex — Sapphire had a little bit of everything on display at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan this year. The most interesting products we saw belonged to the company's line of Radeon graphics cards. At the top of the line, the Radeon HD 7970 Vapor-X pairs a new vapor-chamber cooler with the ability to boost the core clock to 1100MHz with the touch of a button. An eight-phase power solution feeds the GPU, which sits atop a 12-layer circuit board populated by fancy electrical components and a whopping 6GB of memory.
The Vapor-X won't be cheap, naturally. For ...

Silverstone's Sugo SG09 packs big punch in small chassis
Computex — Just about every chassis maker at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan, was displaying at least one Mini-ITX enclosure this year. Given the glut, I can be forgiven for mistaking Silverstone's Sugo SG09 for another one. Also, the SG09 is tiny, with dimensions of 8.7" x 11.6" x 13.9".

Noctua explains active noise cancellation tech
Computex — We probably should have scheduled our Computex meeting with Noctua earlier in the week, before my brain had been turned to mush after five days of wall-to-wall meetings and other events. We visited the company's booth primarily to see the active noise cancellation technology it's working on with RotoSub—and to get an explanation for exactly how it works. The details are pretty nerdy, and the physics is definitely over my head.
According to Noctua, the challenge with applying active noise cancellation to fans is the fact that they generate rotating pressure fields. Noctua didn't want the position of the user to ...

Enermax dips into liquid cooling
Computex — Perhaps because Intel's Sandy Bridge-E CPUs ship without heatsinks (and with toasty 130W TDPs), we've seen an awful lot of water coolers at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan. A number of new players are entering the market, including Enermax, which showed us its ELC-120.

Deal of the week: High-capacity SSD bargains
Solid-state drives have recently slipped under the $1/gigabyte threshold, and that's good news for bargain hunters—especially those in the market for high-capacity drives that can accommodate a full slate of games and applications.
OCZ's Vertex 3 240GB SSD is looking particularly tempting at Amazon, where you can nab it for $208.81 shipped before a $20 mail-in rebate. Assuming everything goes well and you get ...

First Unreal Engine 4 videos now available
Last month, we saw the first screenshots of Epic's first Unreal Engine 4 demo. Sadly, the full demo was kept from public eyes, so a handful of still shots was all we got.
Well, that's been rectified. On its GeForce.com website, Nvidia has posted both the UE4 Elemental video, from which the screenshots originated, and another video that guides viewers through the engine's individual features ...
