    OCZ Announces RevoDrive Hybrid SSD+HDD PCIe Solution

    So this is pretty much moving Intel's Smart Response Technology to a PCIe drive instead of on the motherboard. I can certainly vouch for Kougar's statement that the right data needs to be cached for any real performance increase to be felt.

    NVIDIA Interviews Battlefield 3 and Borderlands 2 Devs at PAX

    I'll certainly need to have my upgraded system ready to rock. Z68, SB and a second 6850. :D ***EDIT: Hmm...memory too. 8GB.

    GameStop Apologies for Deus Ex / OnLive Issue with Free Gift Card

    If I were OnLive I'd be spitting nails. Spending all of that time and money working with Square Enix only to have your playground buddy not stand up to the bully who won't let you play in the sandbox.

    Zalman ZM-HE350 U3 Hard Drive Enclosure Review

    I can see your point but I would hope that readers realize that the enclosure being tested is USB 3.0 so we'd be using that interface. Also, because the drive being used in the enclosure is SATA, well, that's self explanatory. Perhaps USB 3.0/In Enclosure and SATA/In chassis will work in the...

    Corsair H80 Self-Contained Liquid CPU Cooler Review

    I was wondering when someone would call us on that, and you're right, the H80 would be louder when cooling a chip at 4.8Ghz pushing 1.3v+ through it instead of a mainstream model at 3.8Ghz with 1.25v. Fan noise is only one part of the equation though. What's the primary function of a cooler...

    Corsair H80 Self-Contained Liquid CPU Cooler Review

    Like I said, my reaction was a four letter word when I came back and checked the maximum temperature. I figured it would be more in line with the gradual improvement that is found when starting at the H50 and going up to the H70. We haven't been able to get an Antec sample in yet but I'd love...

    Pick Me A Mobo!

    Well, all of the Corsair coolers use the X-style back plate that does rest on the back of the socket, not frame it. W00t!

    The Greatest Graphics Cards of All Time

    Any of the 8800 series. As soon as that series was launched, threads about other video cards on a few of the forums I used to visit frequently disappeared.

    Im buying an SSD.,,, Halp!

    I've been running the one in my sig since January and haven't had a single problem. I've noticed that performance has started to drop a little bit but settled down to a standard level but that's to be expected as the drive is used. It's still well beyond anything a mechanical drive could do...

    Im buying an SSD.,,, Halp!

    It's been my experience that 99% of Newegg reviews are a crock written by people who want to believe they know what they are talking about but end up creating more problems because they cocked something up and resort to blaming it on the manufacturer. Go by honest to goodness hardware reviews...

    Im buying an SSD.,,, Halp!

    Corsair = higher theoretical throughput/good for big files OCZ = more IOPS/good for a lot of small files That's how I read the specs anyway although neither drive is a slouch in either aspect. For the sake of 55MB/s different in transfer speed, go with OCZ because it has an MIR putting in well...

    Top 25 Epic Deaths in PC Gaming

    I have two: Lord of the Rings Online - I'm walking through Middle Earth looking at all of the stuff that I had read about in the books, swinging the camera around and woah, off the cliff I go. Dead at level 5. I couldn't even make it to level 15 to get the undying title. Battlefield Bad...
