Maingear to feature AMD R9-290X GPUs in some upcoming systems
AMD might not be friends with ORIGIN PC anymore, but it sure is BFFs with Maingear, who has just announced it will be fitting AMD's latest R9-290X GPU inside some of its upcoming systems.

While the rest of the new R7 and R9 GPUs are simple HD 7000 Series rebadges - which is unfortunate - the R9-290X is not. It's a true Hawaii core, and should pack quite a serious punch in the performance department. The R9-290X will ship with a glorious amount of RAM, 4GBs of GDDR5 to be exact, and it will also tow TrueAudio and 4K support, too.
Maingear will throw the R9-290X GPU in its Shift and F131 systems, where you'll also receive a copy of Battlefield 4, with Battlefield 4 themed cases and hardware, too. These Maingear systems will be "limited edition" builds, so you'll have to be quick to snap them up. Maingear's Shift setup will feature two R9-290Xs in CrossFire, and it will support up to three cards in CF with either the FX 9370 or 9590 CPU and a starting price of $3,789.
The F131 on the other hand will feature a single R9-290X, with an option to throw another GPU in, and an FX 8350 chip wtih pricing starting at $2,199.

Some BlackBerry 10 developers leave, form their own design firm
A handful of BlackBerry 10 developers have left the company, driving themselves forward and opening up their own design firm called Topp. These developers joined BlackBerry when their previous employer, The Astonishing Tribe (TAT) was acquired back in 2010.

The Topp crew said they became the key personnel responsible for designing and developing BB10 during their few years at BlackBerry. Back at TAT, each member was a design and technology lead in their department, where collectively, they have worked on projects for some of the biggest companies in the world, which include: Samsung, Google, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Disney, and PayPal.
What are Topp doing now? Well, they're based in Sweden, with their website stating that they are a digital design studio who works on new products and breathes life into innovative ideas using design, prototyping and technology. Topp specializes in mobile, automotive, consumer electronics, home appliances and retail experiences.

ABI Research says the Moto X dominates the competition
I have yet to get my grubby mits on the Moto X, but it looks like ABI Research has given it the once over and come out with nothing but good things to say about the first smartphone released by Motorola after its acquisition by Google.

abi_research_says_the_moto_x_dominates_the_competition

The research outfit tore the Moto X apart and doing a complete top to bottom analysis of it, where they think that the Moto X is one of the best smartphones on the market right now. ABI Research loved the form factor, the "much underrated" display and also the always-on voice commands and notifications systems are great achievements in power management, and "are a few of the attributes that set the Moto X a step above the rest."
When the Moto X stands against the iPhone 5S, the former uses around 2.5 times less battery power to do the same tasks, and has 20% more pixels on its display to boot. ABI Research says the Moto X with all its great qualities, far outweighs providing a new phone that has a new casing, new colors or a fingerprint scanner.

Google Slides now feature editable themes and defaults to widescreen
Today Google announced that it has updated its Slides service with two new features that help improve the presentation experience. For those who are not familiar with Google Slides, the service is part of Google Drive and is the company's answer to a free PowerPoint-like tool for building presentations.

google_slides_now_feature_editable_themes_and_defaults_to_widescreen

The update adds new editable master slides which allow the user to change the overall theme of their presentation by selecting "Edit Master from the slide menu. This lets you do things such as setting all of your first level bullets to bold, or change the font of your header. The program now defaults to widescreen now as well which makes building a presentation on a widescreen monitor much easier.

Music video giant Vevo makes its way to Samsung Smart TVs
In case you just do not have enough Miley Cyrus in your life, Vevo has made it quite easy to check out her new music videos righ from your Samsung Smart TV. The music video hosting service announced today that it's app is now featured on Samsung Smart TVs and gives users access to over 75,000 music videos.

music_video_giant_vevo_makes_its_way_to_samsung_smart_tvs

Vevo says that they have designed the new app specifically with the television in mind, and that the app was coded by "expert human programmers." Thank god for that, because I was afraid that the app may have been coded by novice alien programmers from another world. Anyway, back on track! The app has searching and streaming functionality similar to Pandora, and allows users to select a genre that fits their mood, and Vevo will play a unique set of music videos. Users can also search for specific songs as well.

Foursquare for iOS gets refreshed look and real-time recommendations
Today Foursquare released an update to its app for iOS that introduces a completely new UI design. The new design was first released on Android back in August, and has finally began rolling out to iPhone users. Unfortunately, in the beginning only a few thousand users will receive the update while Foursquare works out any bugs that may pop up.

foursquare_for_ios_gets_refreshed_look_and_real_time_recommendations

The update features a new recommendation system that that runs continuously in the background, and monitors a user's location to recommend establishments nearby. The system will also recommend popular food and beverage choices once the user checks into the location. These recommendations are made based on previous user's comments and advertising partners.
Foursquare had the following to say in a statement:

Today we're excited to start rolling out this smarter Foursquare. Here's how it will work: when you sit down to dinner, we might ping you with the can't-miss dish on the menu (like the screenshot from a sushi bar below). Or when you arrive in a new neighborhood or city, we'll suggest a few places that your friends love (like below, after you've wandered into a new neighborhood). It's like having a ton of local friends stuffed in your pocket wherever you go.
Because it's powered by billions of check-ins, it's also smart: we're going to ping you when you sit down at a new place where your friend left a tip, not when you're on your daily walk to work. And using this feature doesn't check you in; this isn't for sharing, just for making sure you don't miss great things.

Nokia is said to be prepping the "Batman" Windows Phone for launch
While the world is focuses on Nokia's pending launch of the low-cost Lumia 525, the company is quietly preparing a second larger screened Lumia phone. Serial leakster @evleaks posted a little tidbit of information today that says the company is prepping the Lumia 1320 smartphone under the codename "Batman."

nokia_is_said_to_be_prepping_the_batman_windows_phone_for_launch

Reports say that the Batman will be Nokia's flagship "budget phone" and will feature a screen as large as 4.7-inches for the device. No word has been released on the processor of choice yet, but we would expect something from Qualcomm in the dual-core range. Batman is said to feature a front-facing VGA camera, but nothing is known about the rear imaging sensor. Nokia will most likely include their new camera app too.

Lian Li shows off a new stunning double-wide brushed aluminum PC case
We first saw Lian Li's new brushed aluminum PC-D600 double-wide PC chassis earlier this year at Computex 2013. The PC-D600 is truly a behemoth of a PC case and for people like me with expansive watercooling systems, you need all the extra space you can get. Today Lian Li officially launched the PC-D600 in the US.

lian_li_shows_off_a_new_stunning_double_wide_brushed_aluminum_pc_case

Constructed of 2mm thick aluminum panels, the PC-D600 boast two separate compartments with expansive mounting points for cooling fans and extreme radiators. The first compartment is the size of a regular full-tower PC case and is accented by a large side panel window. This provides the perfect canvas to display an extreme gaming setup while being able to hide the wires in the second compartment which is hidden from view.

Lian Li has provided room for a 240mm radiator to be placed over the motherboard even with a push/pull fan setup while the right side of the case boast enough room to fit a 420mm radiator without any modifications. Those who like to cut metal will find even more room for large radiators on this side of the case. For those who need extra room, the entire set of three HDD cages in the right side compartment are removable to allow room for extensive setups.

The PC-D600 is able to accommodate video cards up to 330mm in length and CPU coolers up to 180mm in height will also fit with the side panel on. Six 3.5-inch hard drives and two 2.5-inch SSDs can be mounted tool-lessly thanks to Lian Li's famous mounting system. The front I/O panel features four USB 3.0 ports along side the power and reset buttons and HD Audio. The PC-D600 will retail for $349 starting on October 20th.

Lenovo looks to acquire troubled smartphone manufacturer HTC
With HTC reporting record losses,and Lenovo looking to beef up its smartphone offerings its only natural that acquisition talks begin taking place. Today, a Taiwan website is reporting that Lenovo has approached HTC in an attempt to begin talks involving acquiring the company's handset business.

lenovo_looks_to_acquire_troubled_smartphone_manufacturer_htc

The meeting is said to have taken place in late August and that a buy-out was considered. While this move may seem beneficial to many industry analyst, I feel that a turnaround is pending for the once king of Android smartphones. With devices like the HTC One being named as the best smartphone ever made by many of the biggest names in tech media, the company just needs to keep the momentum going by releasing new and exciting products.

Slashdot launches redesigned website in beta form, we check it out
Recently Slashdot announced the websites third redesign in its thirteen year lifespan, and TweakTown was invited over to take a look at the new diggs. This morning I was given a personal walkthrough with Slashdot's Senior Editor, Tim Lord, who emphasized that Slashdot's goal with the redesign is to help better deliver content to its readers across all devices.

slashdot_launches_redesigned_website_in_beta_form_we_check_it_out

The first thing that really caught my eye is the website's new modern theme. The old sites rounded corners and "Web 2.0" gradients are no more, and the new layout is very appealing to the eye. Lord told me that they really focused hard on simplifying the overall layout, and wanted to make things easy to navigate. The removal of the sites old left-hand navigation bar has greatly cleaned up the overall appearance as well.

slashdot_launches_redesigned_website_in_beta_form_we_check_it_out

Lord said that while Slashdot has always been more heavily weighted towards text, the new layout allows Slashdot to display a single eye catching image atop some of the frontpage post. While some users prefer an image along with their teaser, so do not, and Slashdot has kept those users in mind. A new widget has been placed at the top of the news feed that allows users to switch between three viewing modes. The Standard View will appear as default and will display a single image along with the content teaser. Additionally users can select Headline and Classic views that will set the site to display just the post headlines or the classic view which displays the full post.

slashdot_launches_redesigned_website_in_beta_form_we_check_it_out

Slashdot has utilized a secondary navigation menu at the top of the post section on the front page. This new menu will switch the feed between All Stories, articles that the Editor chose as favorites, content submitted by the sites users, a new video section and even a most discussed filter. When combined with the main navigation menu at the top of the screen, this new setup allows for quick and easy navigation through the website.

slashdot_launches_redesigned_website_in_beta_form_we_check_it_out

One of the biggest headaches to the old Slashdot was its user profile pages. During my walkthrough Lord explained that the redesigned website brings forth a completely new user profile experience that allows users to have a more feature rich experience at Slashdot. Karma, Achievements, and comments are now neatly organized into a very easy to follow layout and navigating to a users submissions and journals is easier than ever.
Slashdot's redesigned website is available in Beta form for all to see and they want to hear your thoughts on the new site. Leave a comment here or head over to the official launch post on Slashdot to leave a comment there. I would like to thank Tim Lord, and Benjamin Doda for inviting me to take a look at the new site and I hope we can work with them more in the future.

Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, said: "GTA totally deserves to be recognized as an icon of modern British culture, and we're thrilled to be able to feature the game in the record books. Gaming is no longer a niche hobby, as GTA 5 has proved, and how exciting that it's taken on the might of Hollywood and won! I'm also doubly proud as a Dundonian to welcome this home-grown series back into the Guinness World Records book."
A full list of the records now held by GTA V is listed below:

RumorTT: Lenovo secretly meeting with HTC over an acquisition talks
We've been all over the problems that HTC has been having lately, but it looks like it could be saved with a rumored acquisition from a much bigger giant: Lenovo. Lenovo has been here, done that, with acquisitions, when it acquired the ThinkPad brand from IBM.

rumortt_lenovo_secretly_meeting_with_htc_over_an_acquisition_talks

The reports state that Lenovo would acquire HTC's brand, pushing out devices under the HTC name still. Korean publication, eToday, has reported the news, saying that executives from both camps have been meeting since late August. This would make sense, as to why HTC doesn't seem so worried to continuously slide lower and lower in terms of profits.
Lenovo is quite strong in China with its smartphones, so an acquisition of an already great smartphone maker would definitely make sense. Especially in those super hot emerging markets where there are billions upon billions of dollars to be made.

Fujitsu unveils the Lifebook U904, features 14-inch 3800x1800 screen
Fujitsu has just unveiled its latest notebook, the Lifebook U904, which features a 14-inch IGZO panel and a super-high resolution of 3200x1800. There are two models, one with a glossy panel and touch input, and the second is an anti-glare panel without touch capabilities.

fujitsu_unveils_the_lifebook_u904_features_14_inch_3820x1800_screen

The Lifebook U904 is powered by Intel's Haswell range of processors with Intel HD Graphics 4400 powering the graphics side of things. We have it weighing in at 3.06 lbs and a thickness of 0.61 inches. Fujitsu claims that its Lifebook U904 is the "world's thinnest 14-inch ultrabook." There's a choice of an SSHD or SSD for storage, USB 3.0 and HDMI connectivity are featured, as well as optional LTE wireless which is a nice touch.
You can grab the Lifebook U904 from Fujitsu's online store starting from $1,999 which comes with a glossy touchscreen and 320GB SSHD. Windows 8.1 is featured, so you shouldn't expect to receive the Lifebook U904 until after October 17.

Skype updated, receives a refreshed tablet UI
An update should have, or will soon roll out to Skype users, which features a much-needed refresh to its user interface when used on tablets. We saw a tablet-optimized layout in Skype earlier in the year, but this is done in a much better way.

skype_updated_receives_a_refreshed_tablet_ui

It is made on top of the improved Skype 4.0, which concentrates focuses on conversations and people in a way better interface that is designed for larger screens - such as tablets. Version 4.4 of the app brings all of the upgrades that version 4.0 had, including the performance improvements, with all 4.4 users will see improved video quality.

RumorTT: Motorola preparing 'Xplay,' a 6.3-inch phablet
Motorola has seen some decent success with its MotoX smartphone, but it looks like the Google-owned company is working on a massive 6.3-inch phablet called the Xplay.

rumortt_motorola_preparing_xplay_a_6_3_inch_phablet

There's also the Motorola Droid Ultra successor coming, which should arrive as the Droid Quantum. There's absolutely no information on the Xplay apart from its name, and a possible 2014 release date. That, and we know that it should be around 6.3 inches in size, which would make it Motorola's biggest phone ever.

RumorTT: Google Hangouts to soon feature SMS and MMS abilities
It looks like Google might have a trick up its mobile OS sleeve when it finally unveils Android 4.4 KitKat, which might just be enough to move you away from some of the biggest messaging clients available on Android.

google_hangouts_to_soon_feature_sms_and_mms_abilities

Android Police has secured some screenshots of what it is alleging to be Android 4.4 KitKat, which show off some settings that will enable SMS and MMS within Hangouts. This might not turn out to be true, but we should expect Google to really start a fire in KitKat that will have everyone talking. Enabling SMS and MMS capabilities within Hangouts would definitely be a step in the right direction for Google.

Hey Samsung, please use this Galaxy S5 concept art, now
Jass from GalaxyS5Info.com sent in some concept work they've designed for the Galaxy S5 from Samsung, and it look truly gorgeous. There's a slew of images that you can check out below.

hey_samsung_please_use_this_galaxy_s5_concept_art_now

hey_samsung_please_use_this_galaxy_s5_concept_art_now

I absolutely love what they've done with the front of the device, with a 'renovated home button' which is just a touch sensor, which glows. The entire S5 concept design is curved, which looks damn good and makes use of that flexible display. On the side of the S5 concept device, is a 'Profile Switch Button' which would be a nice addition, and 'Quad-Surround Speakers'.

hey_samsung_please_use_this_galaxy_s5_concept_art_now

hey_samsung_please_use_this_galaxy_s5_concept_art_now

Up the top to the left, we have a notification LED, which glows in different colors for different notifications such as missed calls, messages and so on. GalaxyS5Info.com's concept of the Galaxy S5 features a waterproof and shockproof body, as well as 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models. I hope that Samsung goes along this route, as it looks absolutely gorgeous, but unfortunately it won't.

Seagate NAS 4TB HDD Enterprise Review

Introduction

seagate_nas_4tb_hdd_enterprise_review

The Seagate NAS HDD Series is geared for use in 1-5 drive bay NAS for SMB or home users. The Seagate NAS HDD comes in capacities of 1TB, 2TB, 3TB and 4TB in a 3.5" form factor. The Seagate NAS HDD features a SATA 6Gb/s connection and 64MB of multi-segmented cache. Seagate's NAS HDD spins at a faster rate of 5,900 RPM when compared to the competing NAS HDD from WD, which spins at 5,400 RPM. The drive also sports a maximum SDR (Sustained Data Rate) of 180 MB/s.
For years, a visitor to a tech forum would find a veritable flood of posts in the NAS section asking which desktop HDD's are best for NAS usage. Surprisingly, many of these posts from those in the hunt for reliable and reasonably priced HDD's weren't always 'typical' consumers, they also encompassed many in the SMB and SOHO environment. While higher-end nearline and enterprise HDD's have always been advised for NAS usage, many balked at the high price and actively sought out cheaper alternatives.
Finding a desktop HDD that will work in any one of the hundreds of different NAS models can become somewhat of a gamble. Many times users will find a HDD that will simply plug in and work, but then become plagued by issues with repetitive unnecessary RAID rebuilds. This stems from the TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) settings on common desktop HDDs. While TLER comes under different names depending upon the manufacturer of the HDD, the basic premise is the same.
Even during normal operation, HDD's are prone to errors when reading and writing data to the platters. There are a number of techniques utilized by the HDD to combat and repair these errors. During the frantic attempt to correct an error, the HDD stops communicating with the NAS. If the repair takes more than seven seconds, the vast majority of RAID systems will drop the HDD from the array. Once dropped the user has to withstand a long rebuild period, during which the performance of the NAS is greatly impacted. There really aren't many storage solutions slower than a degraded RAID 5, and for home users this can become an exercise in futility.
For those relying upon a NAS in an SMB or SOHO environment (such as a dentist, veterinarian, or lawyer's office), this slow performance can actually result in a massive impact upon their ability to conduct work in a timely fashion. Another TLER error during the rebuild period can result in a total loss of all the data stored on the NAS, turning an inconvenience, into a disaster.
Enter the new NAS HDD's from Seagate. These HDD's, like the ones offered by WD, are designed to combat the TLER problem head on. If the error recovery takes longer than the appointed time, a NAS HDD can actually communicate with the RAID code, informing it that there is a problem with data recovery. This hands the problem off to the NAS, allowing the NAS to repair the error itself. The NAS will perform a targeted RAID rebuild, only repairing the effected data. This results in reliable and efficient performance in RAID environments.
The Seagate NAS HDD's are qualified with all major NAS vendors, and feature other enhancements to optimize them for NAS usage. NASware is a suite of firmware features that improves drive reliability, provides vibration reduction, and delivers optimized power settings. Vibration from other HDDs in a multi-bay NAS can introduce performance and reliability concerns. This is combated with a dual plane balance system to provide less vibration than typical desktop HDD's.
The lower thermal threshold of a NAS HDD also protects the inner workings of the NAS from excessive heat, and reduces the amount of fan noise in models with self-adjusting fans.

WD Red and WD Se NAS HDD Enterprise RAID Report

Introduction

wd_red_and_wd_se_nas_hdd_enterprise_raid_report

As with any purchasing decision, there is always the question of whether or not to make the jump to the next level of performance. The advent of a new class of consumer HDDs geared for NAS usage has blurred the line between consumer and nearline/enterprise HDD's. We have conducted full product evaluations of both the WD Red and the WD Se as single units, and today we will test them in RAID configurations.
WD's NAS HDD market segmentation is a perfect example of the shrinking difference between top-of-the-line nearline/enterprise HDD's and consumer hardware. The WD Red series is geared for the SMB and SOHO crowd with 1-5 bay NAS units. For a small price premium, customers can acquire the higher rated WD SE series of HDDs, geared for SMB (Small/Medium Business) and large enterprise applications with 6-12 bays.
In many cases, users looking for the next level of performance from their 1-5 bay NAS units turn to the WD Se. Both the WD Se and the WD Red share many characteristics that begin with the SATA 6Gb/s connection. They also share the same 64MB of cache and a bit error rate of 1 per 10E14. Both HDD's are designed for 24/7 use, and the duty cycle of a NAS HDD experiences many transitions from various idle states to active use. This is reflected in the robust 300,000 cycles Load/Unload cycle ratings for both drives.
One of the immediate performance improvements when making the jump from the Red to the Se is the difference in platter speed. The Red utilizes WD's IntelliPower technology, which many speculate alters the speed between 5,400 and 5,900 RPM's. The 7,200 RPM advantage leads to enhanced speed from the Se, but also an increase in power consumption. The Red consumes a peak of 4.5 Watts active, while the Se has a higher active consumption of 9.5 Watts. The noise of NAS HDD's can become a bit of a distraction in home user environments, and the WD Red has a lower decibel rating of 24, in contrast to the 28 offered by the Se.

wd_red_and_wd_se_nas_hdd_enterprise_raid_report

The Se has a higher tolerance to heavy workloads, with up to 180 TB a year falling within its endurance envelope. The Red supports 120-150 TB a year, which is fine for most home users. Interestingly enough, the Red actually has a higher MTBF rating of one million hours, while also having a much shorter warranty period of three years. The WD Se has an MTBF rating of 800,000 hours, yet a longer warranty period of five years.
The disparity between the MTBF and warranty periods from both drives likely stems from the test environments during qualification. In larger rack environments, which the Se is designed for, there is a tremendous increase in vibration and heat. Vibration is introduced by other drives in the rack, and with the intended purpose being 6-12 drive racks, the drives are subjected to more vibration and heat. The drives are also tested with their respective workloads, and with the Se having a higher 180TB rating, the drive endures a more stringent test regimen.
In similar environments, the Se will outlive the Red, as reflected in the warranty period. The warranty period of a NAS is important, many users simply want to buy several high-quality drives, configure them in the NAS, and forget them for the next several years. For many the higher warranty period of five years for the Se, and the enhanced speed, make them an attractive solution.
Today we will test the 4-drive RAID performance of the WD Se and the WD Red series head-to-head in both RAID 0 and RAID 5 configurations.

Thermaltake Toughpower DPS 850-Watt 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply Review

Introduction

thermaltake_toughpower_dps_850_watt_80_plus_gold_power_supply_review

A little over a year ago, Corsair drastically changed the way power supplies would be built in the coming years. They did so out of nowhere and seemed to have caught everyone with their pants down. Until now, the only digital units that we have seen have been numerous iterations from Corsair. These units have performed superbly in every single aspect that you could wish for and we've had nothing but great things to say about them, except for the price.
Thermaltake thought it was about time that someone gave Corsair a run for their money and they've been hard at work to make sure what they come up with would be well worth the wait.
What they've designed is the new Toughpower DPS series. The DPS is a digitally controlled, fully modular power supply and comes in 750W and 850W models out the door with more to follow shortly.
Thermaltake also spent a long time polishing their software for the DPS series and it is what delayed the launch of this power supply for so long. We won't be covering the software in this review, but instead will be going over it with a separate review so that we can go into the full details of what it has to offer. This review will focus solely on the DPS power supply itself, so let's start by taking a look at the I/O specifications for the DPS 850W we've got on the bench today.

Specifications, Availability and Pricing

thermaltake_toughpower_dps_850_watt_80_plus_gold_power_supply_review

The Thermaltake DPS-850 features a single 12V rail that is rated for 70A or 840W. The 3.3V and 5V rails are rated for 25A each with a maximum combined output of 130W. The 5VSB rail is rated for 3A or 15W. The maximum combined output for the DPS-850 is 850W.

thermaltake_toughpower_dps_850_watt_80_plus_gold_power_supply_review

Thermaltake is one that you can always count on to make sure that you're covered with features and protections. As you can see, the Toughpower DPS-850 features a full suite of protections, including over-temperature protection. The DPS-850 is a fully modular power supply. All cables are of the flat ribbon type. The power supply is rated for 80 PLUS Gold efficiency. Finally, Thermaltake rates the DPS-850 for 100% continuous output at 50C.
The DPS-850 has an MSRP of $219.99. This makes the Thermaltake DPS-850 one of the most expensive 850W power supplies on the market. Newegg, at the time of writing, has the power supply in stock, but you'll have to cough up shipping for it too, bringing the price up to $227.98. Thermaltake offers a seven year warranty on the DPS series.

Prolimatech Armageddon Blue Series CPU Cooler Review

Introduction

prolimatech_armageddon_blue_series_cpu_cooler_review

In all my time with TweakTown, I have only seen three coolers from this manufacturer of higher-end cooling solutions. Jumping in the way back machine, we first had a look at the Megahalems, which was very revolutionary in its day. The solid construction, and allowing the customer to match a fan or fans to it, was something that not many companies had thought of doing, but at Prolimatech, it was made a standard for them.
The other thing that put this cooler on the map was it was one of the first coolers I saw that delivered a serious mounting solution that took all of the guess work out of mounting some of the antiquated designs we had to work with at that time. With a solidly designed tower cooler, and this revolution in mounting, Prolimatech was onto something, and customers took notice.
We then got a hold of the Samuel 17, built for HTPC or low power applications. Again with solid construction and enough designing and trial and error, they delivered what is still one of the better low-profile CPU cooling solutions, specifically in those instances where room inside of the chassis just isn't there for much other than the stock cooling solutions. Then not too long after that we took a look at the MK-26, where Prolimatech took all of its CPU cooler design and know-how, and delivered that knowledge into a GPU cooling solution. The sad thing about all of this is the fact that it has been almost a year to date since the MK-26, and it has been two years plus since we saw anything new in CPU cooling from them.
The good thing is that their hiatus has ended, and they have found us once again to look at something new in its field of CPU coolers. Of course years ago there was the original concept of the Armageddon cooler from them. Since then they have developed a "Special Edition" line of CPU coolers where they have taken the likes of the Megahalems, Genesis, and now the Armageddon, and offered them in various colored solutions.
This is what brings us here today as we get up close and personal with the latest addition to that series of coolers with the Armageddon Blue Series CPU cooler from Prolimatech.

QNAP TS-669 PRO 6-Bay SMB NAS Review

Introduction

qnap_ts_669_pro_6_bay_smb_nas_review

QNAP's new QTS 4.0 software is out, now in version 4.0.2 and it's quite the upgrade. I'll be honest though, the first time I worked with the QTS 4.0 it was still in beta and I wasn't an instant fan.
The software was fine, but the extra applications weren't ready yet and it scared me a bit. QNAP has a large add-on software library and most of the existing packages weren't ready during the beta. Now, the packages that were available on 3.8 are converted over and then some.
The new QTS 4.0 software update is more than just a software update. The new package also improves performance. The QNAP TS-669 Pro we're reviewing today uses the same processor and RAM as the TS-669L we reviewed a few months back. Both are 6-bay units, so we can see the performance improvements in transfer speeds in this review.
This review is about more than just the new software and the performance that comes with it. Today we're looking at the QNAP TS-669 Pro, a 6-bay NAS that sits in the middle of QNAP's SMB product lineup.
Let's take a look at the hardware features and then look at the new software.

AMD Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card Review

Introduction

amd_radeon_r7_260x_2gb_video_card_review

Towards the end of last month, I was fortunate enough to get flown over to Hawaii by AMD to get a peek at its upcoming line up of video cards which launch today. It was my first time to the USA and my first time ever experiencing jet lag in such an extreme way. As much fun as the event was, if it wasn't for the fact that I had to sleep every opportunity I could, it would've been a lot more fun. Fortunately it is lesson learned and I'll personally be able to prepare myself better next time so a bit more fun could be had.
While we got a chance to look at a number of video cards that AMD will be launching in the coming weeks, it comes as no real surprise that we aren't seeing all of them. Releasing all models at the exact same time would really flood the internet with reviews and that would be overwhelming for the consumer. Instead, AMD will be drip feeding the samples over the coming weeks to spread it out as much as possible. Of course, they want coverage to last weeks, if not months, so they can constantly be seen.
We'll be starting off with the new R7 260X today, and being an AMD reference card, we don't have anything to talk about when it comes to the package. Instead we'll as always be getting stuck straight into the video card and cover the main specifications that are on offer, plus of course the main features.
The new series of AMD cards bring with it some really cool features with one of the major ones being AMD TrueAudio. We'll cover this a little on the next page, along with the major specifications that this particular model brings with it. With that all said and done, I think we can just move straight onto the card and see what exactly AMD is offering us today with the new R7 260X 2GB.

Corsair Force LS 240GB SSD Review

Introduction

corsair_force_ls_240gb_ssd_review

The Corsair Force LS isn't the first drive we've tested with the Phison S8 controller. We ran the controller in a few other products and went through firmware releases. We've even tested the controller with 24nm and two versions of Toshiba 19nm flash. While not as flashy as other controllers, Phison designed the S8 for consumer experience via great low queue depth IOPS performance.
Sadly, we've learned the new Force LS won't hit the US market. We suspect this has something to do with an existing product with the Phison S8 controller from MyDigitalSSD. MDSSD has a long history with Phison and this is the only reason we can think of for Corsair not to bring the Force LS to the US market.
Still, Corsair felt they needed a value offering and the Force LS fits the role. With 25nm flash nearly impossible to purchase, the Force Series 3 and Force GT drives are nearing end of life status. Nearly a year ago Corsair released the Neutron GTX to handle flagship duty and the base Neutron to fit somewhere in the middle. LS sits just below both Neutron products.
Let's dive in now and take a close look and see how it does in our testing.

LUXA2 P2 5000mAh Aluminum Portable Battery Review

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

My reviews of LUXA2 products began with the Groovy Wireless Stereo Speaker, which I loved. It was a stylish unit, and something that requires charging from a microUSB port on the top of the speaker itself. This is where the LUXA2 P2 mobile battery comes into play.
LUXA2 is pricing its P2 portable battery with an MSRP of $64.95, which is definitely not too bad for something with both style and substance. It's the perfect accessory for LUXA2's Groovy speaker, but it is a damn fine portable battery by itself, too. Let's start with the unboxing and specs of the P2 portable battery.

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

You can see from the specs, and the product name itself, that the LUXA2 P2 portable battery has 5000mAh of charge inside. This is enough to charge most smartphones twice over, or most big tablets at least once. The one downside with the P2 charger is that the output for charging is only rated at 5V1A compared to other portable chargers that are rated at 2.5A, such as the Patriot FUEL+ range of chargers.

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

This isn't a bad thing, but it does mean that your smart devices will charge slower. LUXA2 has opted to go down another route, making the packaging and P2 charger itself from greener materials.
The P2 charger is quite sleek, with the all-aluminum body. Toward the end of the device we have the power button and LED which tells you how much charge is left. The LUXA2 will flash blue when charging, and once it's complete, it will flash green. It's not a super bright LED, but it's bright enough to not be a massive distraction on your desk. The aluminum stays cool, and is nice to the touch - something LUXA2 seem to be gunning for with this P2 portable battery.

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

Let's move onto the real-world usage of the P2 charger itself. I used the LUXA2 P2 charger like I do with all of my mobile batteries, so I take it around with me depending on what I'm doing that day. I took the LUXA2 P2 on an adventure, using it on the road with LUXA2's Groovy Wireless Speaker, and both of them worked great.

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

I was able to charge up the Groovy speaker to full charge, as well as my Nexus 4 smartphone from a single charge. The 5000mAh battery inside is enough to charge nearly all smartphones twice over, so if you're in the market for something that can charge your smartphone up, but leave enough juice to do it again later in the day, or maybe the next day or two, this is it.

luxa2_p2_5000mah_aluminum_portable_battery_review

It's thin, so I was able to have it slide into my pocket, alongside my Nexus 4, which really helps when walking around. This way, my smartphone is constantly charging, but I'm not feeling this huge bulk coming from my pants (yeah, take that as you will).
Overall, I love the LUXA2 P2. It's sleek, thin and features 5000mAh of charge - which is enough for anyone these days. You'd have to be really going through some charge to need anymore, so if you're in the market for a sleek looking portable battery, you can't go past the LUXA P2.

SanDisk Extreme II 120GB RAID 0 SSD Report

Introduction

sandisk_extreme_ii_120gb_raid_0_ssd_report

One of the things I like most about TweakTown is Shawn's awesome SLI video card reviews. The performance he's able to get from a pair of video cards running in SLI is simply astounding. Running multiple cards linked together provides even more performance than a single card. It really redefines the meaning of performance PC.
RAID 0 can do the same thing as SLI or CrossFire does for video, for your storage system. How would you like to double or triple your storage performance? You can with RAID 0 and the nice thing is, RAID's already baked into your motherboard.
The biggest bottleneck on your PC has always been, and continues to be non-volatile storage. Even the fastest SSD can only serve up data at a tiny fraction of a CPU's capability to process it. Remember the first time you tried an SSD? Could you imagine ever going back to a spinner? SSD's have redefined the meaning of enthusiast-class PC.
RAID 0 takes SSD performance to another level and, that's exactly what this review is going to demonstrate. RAID 0 is simple to setup, reliable, and is something that once you try, will have you wondering how you ever lived without it.
We've chosen SanDisk's Extreme II 120GB SSD's for TweakTown's first Haswell based RAID 0 report. In this report, we'll demonstrate how RAID 0 increases storage performance and how that performance scales from 1 to 3 drives.

TweakTown CPU Cooler Testing and Methodology

Introduction

tweaktown_cpu_cooler_testing_and_methodology

Just like with the surge of twin tower coolers and all of the various AIO coolers that are now on the market, the hardware that needs to be cooled by it seems to get revised just as fast. This means that while our Intel 2600K CPU based test system is still a valid system to use, as I would bet there are quite a few readers still using systems of that age or even older. Here at TweakTown we like to stay on top of the latest and greatest that everyone has to offer. With the introduction of the mainstream Intel Haswell processors, we thought it had been a couple of generations of Intel processors, and was time for us to make the leap to a new test bed system for all of these new coolers that are flooding the market.
Since the days of the older system, there have been a few advances in the way the processors are designed, and these changes make cooling the newer CPUs a much tougher job than it had been previously. First off is the way the Haswell CPU has power supplied, and how it uses the voltage once it is inside of the CPU. The second thing that will make manufacturers of CPU coolers shiver in their boots is the introduction of the AVX 512 that will make any cooler I have yet to test buckle under the stress.
Therefore we have tested many applications, many coolers, and in every way we could think might have an impact on the coolers ability, and have devised a system of testing that is new to our readers, but on that same note, is something that anyone could do at home and reproduce, as long as all the variables match what we are using.
The overall idea here is to show the system we will be testing with, along with how we got to that conclusion. You will be seeing images of all of the hardware with brief explanations of why we chose those components. You will also be given all of the steps and conditions surrounding the testing system, and why we do what we do to fill the charts with results for you to find the best CPU cooler for your needs. I will also be providing some of the older coolers in the new charts as a marker for you to be able to judge all of the other coolers I tested.
This way we can move forward with some relevance to the older charts, and not just leave all of them in the dust with no real way to see how all of the older coolers would stack up to today's new computing hardware as well.

FIFA 14 PlayStation 3 Review

fifa_14_playstation_3_review

As we come to the end of the current console generation, it's a good time to reflect on the successful franchises and there is hardly a more successful franchise than FIFA. FIFA came into this generation struggling. Konami had absolutely killed the market with Pro Evolution Soccer and was seen as the company that knew football. It may not have had the licenses, but gamers didn't care. PES was the best football game around. So, EA went back to the drawing board and built a new engine for FIFA that completely changed the war. FIFA 12 was where the games really started to diverge in quality, and now we have FIFA 14. However, we unfortunately have to report that it may be a step backwards.
The focus for EA this year with FIFA has been all about momentum. On the next generation consoles (which will have FIFA at launch), EA has built a brand new engine called IGNITE, however on the current generation, we have more one more go around with the old technology and the strain on the systems is starting to show a little bit. EA wanted a game where players couldn't turn on a dime and first touch wasn't guaranteed. They said it was a bit more like what you see on the television, but the result has turned out to be a bit more frustrating than EA may have intended.
FIFA 14 is the first time really I have felt frustrated playing a football game. Most of the time if a goal is scored against me, I know why and get on with the game, but in FIFA 14, it is a constant struggle in general to get the ball, let alone score. FIFA has focused on being a slow methodical game like PES the past few years and overall it's worked. This year is no different, but the realism is going to be despised by just as many as those who love it.

fifa_14_playstation_3_review

The thing is that even the best players in the game like Messi and so on have poor first touch, and it's frustrating. You set up a goal scoring opportunity only for the first touch of a player to go completely wrong and you lose the ball. Now yes, this does happen in the real-world football matches, but this comes down to simulation versus fun gameplay. Do people really want a situation where a game is so unpredictable and random that it's hard to score goals because it's a little more realistic? If the answer for you is yes, then you will love FIFA 14.
However, for the rest of us, this is a frustrating game. It is almost controller smashing frustrating sometimes and this for a football game is disappointing. You pass a ball not knowing if the player will take it properly and it's all random. Seemingly nothing you do really can influence the random number that determines if the player makes a mistake or not. That said, there are positives from this new gameplay. Players at full speed can no longer turn on a dime (in fact, they have a turning circle more like a cruise ship), and you can use a player's momentum against them. If you see a player move one way and dodge to the other, that player has to stop, turn around and start running just like in the real-world. This is one area where this system does actually improve the game.

fifa_14_playstation_3_review

On the main gameplay side, the management mode has had an overhaul and reflects games like Football Manager even more now. First of all you can now send scouts around the globe with instructions to find the next Lionel Messi. Every few days they will report in and give you some players to check out. The UI has had an overhaul as well. Instead of, for example, when you get emails, being taken directly to the email screen, an icon appears on the screen that you have new mail and you can jump there, if you want. The manager UI allows you to focus on what you want to focus on rather than being forced all over the place to make decisions. You tend to get more updates from the board as to your position, and unlike past games, it probably won't be a surprise if they decide to ship you out of the club.
EA Sports Matchday returns and is already well into action with the new European season under way. Basically Matchday downloads stats from the EA servers based on the latest results. So, if your club team is on a roll, their stats will get a boost and so will their attitude, but in a relegation battle, the opposite happens. This is actually an incredibly interesting component of the game and to see how the teams can flip flop during a season.

fifa_14_playstation_3_review

Other than that you have the typical game modes such as exhibition mode (where you can turn on and off the aforementioned Matchday mode), the ability to have a career as a single player working your way up into the first team and try and win it all returns, as well as FIFA Ultimate Team, which in many ways seems to potentially have been a lot more popular than EA envisaged when they first included it in the game.
On the licensing side, EA has had some wins and losses this year. First of all the Brazilian team is not licensed this year which is interesting considering they one of the top teams globally right now, but they have had a win in the Camp Nou from Barcelona returning as a selectable stadium. However, overall, they still remain formidable in this area with the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Hyundai A-League, J-league and others all appearing in the game. There is no doubt that this is where EA is dominating right now and it is hard to see whether the other side can fix this.

fifa_14_playstation_3_review

Visually the game also is where we start to see the true FIFA with some stunning graphics and animation. The momentum based system is fully realized in the graphics with players having to slow down to change direction, and being caught unawares quite easily. One thing that works is that you know when a player has got around you purely due to momentum and this is quite an achievement. As per usual, EA is second to none in the lifelike look of the players as well.
We recently got the chance to see FIFA 14 on the next generation consoles and it is clear as day that is where this year's product is going to shine. There is the possibility that they have tried to translate changes from the next gen product down to this level and it just hasn't worked. The game can be frustrating to play, but it can also be enjoyable.
Most games have this ebb and flow and really not knowing what the game is going to do next (be it a player's first touch or if a player will pass correctly) is frustrating. FIFA 14 isn't necessarily a bad game, but it's certainly in our opinion the worst of a very good bunch from the previous few years. Next generation will see this title return to the top upon its release, but for now, wait until then.

ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Matrix R9 280X Graphics Cards
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the launch of Matrix R9 280X Platinum edition and Matrix R9 280X standard edition, two new graphics cards powered by the latest AMD Radeon R9 280X graphics-processing unit (GPU). As dedicated gamers have come to expect from ROG, the new Matrix R9 280X graphics cards are tricked out with exclusive technologies and tools including an efficient copper-based thermal design for faster performance at lower temperatures, VGA Hotwire connections for voltage control, DIGI+ voltage-regulator modules (VRMs) for smooth and stable power and GPU Tweak, an easy-to-use tuning software that allows users to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their graphics card.

asus_republic_of_gamers_announces_matrix_r9_280x_graphics_cards

Cool, quiet and faster than the fastest
The Matrix R9 280X graphics cards benefit from a copper-based thermal design that conducts heat away from the GPU with extreme efficiency. Compared with reference Radeon R9 280X designs, ROG Matrix R9 280X cards allow the latest AMD Radeon GPU to run up to 20% cooler and three times (3X) quieter. Coupled with dual 100mm cooling fans, gamers can enjoy ultra-stable, ultra-cool play with very low noise. R9 280X's GPU is clocked at 1000MHz, while R9 280X Platinum's core is cranked up to a blistering 1100MHz - 100MHz higher than reference.
Overclock even more with easy overvolting
Matrix R9 280X graphics cards have exclusive ROG VGA Hotwire technology built in for even more overclocking headroom. By wiring the Matrix R9 280X's VGA Hotwire terminals to header connections on the motherboard, users are able to overvolt right away.

asus_republic_of_gamers_announces_matrix_r9_280x_graphics_cards

In conjunction with the TweakIt utility and the plus and minus buttons fitted to some ASUS ROG motherboards, VGA Hotwire puts overvolting adjustments at users' fingertips - so they can gradually and safely increase power for higher speeds and smoother gaming. With Matrix R9 280X cards, TweakIt offers a wider voltage-modulation range than ever before and it's also possible to immediately activate the dual 100mm fans - enabling maximum airflow and instant cooling at the touch of a button.
Matrix R9 280X cards also include an overclocking 'safe mode' that can be used to quickly restore default settings - so enthusiasts can restore stability easily at any time. As well, an illuminated Matrix logo allows users to gauge a card's loading at a glance because, cleverly, the lamp changes color to indicate the current load level.
Unmatched stability with DIGI+ Super Alloy Power
Matrix R9 280X graphics cards benefit from exclusive ASUS DIGI+ VRM with Super Alloy Power technology. Super Alloy Power's solid-state capacitors, concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs all withstand much greater stress and heat due to the application of specially-formulated materials - increasing reliability and overall card lifespan. DIGI+ VRM delivers 20-phase power and digital voltage regulation ensuring ample room for experimental performance tuning - to levels unmatched by other graphics cards.
DIGI+ VRM with Super Alloy Power technology also reduces power noise such as buzzing and increases the graphic card's longevity: compared to reference cards, power noise is reduced by as much as 30% and the card's expected lifespan by up to two-and-a-half times (2.5X).
Easy overclocking with load-line calibration and VRM-frequency tuning
The included ASUS ROG GPU Tweak utility gives Matrix R9 280X users intuitive control over GPU and video-memory clock speeds and voltages, cooling-fan speeds and power-consumption thresholds - so they can overclock easily and with high confidence. The exclusive ROG edition of GPU Tweak adds detailed GPU load-line calibration and VRM-frequency tuning, allowing incredibly fine control over multiple parameters for maximum overclocking and the potential to break world records.
As well, the GPU Tweak Streaming tool lets users share on-screen action over the internet in real time - so others can watch live as games are played. It's even possible to add a title to the streaming window along with scrolling text, pictures and webcam images.
AVAILABILITY & PRICING
ROG Matrix R9 280X Platinum and Matrix R9 280X will be available worldwide from 11 October. Please contact your local ASUS representative for further information.
