I'm not sure how I got this curse, but it feels like no matter what kind of preemptive action I take, I inevitably hit 100°C on the CPU I'm using at some point. To help prevent this sort of thing from happening, I upgraded to a Corsair 800D chassis and H60 CPU cooler a couple of months ago, up...

With NZXT having expanded its product portfolio on multiple occasions throughout the years, the introduction of its first-ever CPU cooler, HAVIK 140, almost didn't even come as a surprise. But, how good is it? Well, it's big, has dual fans, aims for silence, and looks aesthetically-pleasing, so...

I've stopped purchasing collector's editions of games, because I end up never wanting them for too long. The last one I had purchased was for Halo 3, which came with some plastic helmet. Ended up playing the game for like 10 hours total and ended up donating the helmet, haha. I just never keep...

Alright, I might catch a bit of flack for this but... There are a couple of things. Weapon add-ons is one example, such as being able to purchase items to increase the fire rate, power, reload speed, et cetera. These can stack with innate character abilities no problem... it'd just be a way...

It's been over a week since we first talked about the latest Humble Bundle, in its third iteration, and quite a bit has happened since. Most notably, the folks behind the offer decided to make it just a bit sweeter by throwing two more games into the mix, Steel Storm and Atom Zombie Smasher, and...

Yup, there's a major difference for sure. Even if the hard drive slows to a relative crawl while connected to USB 3.0, it'll still be a lot faster than if connected to USB 2.0. I copied 400GB of files to a mobile 5400 RPM drive the other night, consisting of 150,000 files, and the lowest speed...

A lot has happened in the USB 3.0 world since we took a look at Kingston's first 'Ultimate 3.0' drive this past fall, and thanks to some progressions, the company has just released a 'G2' variant of the drive. It's identical in looks, it's cheaper, and it proves to be the fastest non-SSD USB 3.0...

It may not matter too much in the grand scheme of things, but as an avid Linux user, how could I not be just a little interested in what the creator of the Linux kernel, Linus Torvalds, uses as his preferred desktop environment? Throughout the years, I've agreed with him on desktop-related...

LOL :D

I might add to this list later, as more things come to mind. What I'd Like to See Weapons that can be augmented with an element, rather than include an element from a get-go. This would allow you to find a killer weapon and then apply an element that -you- want, rather than be forced to use...

The moment all Borderlands fans have been waiting for has arrived - and out-of-the-blue. It's been rumored that Gearbox originally wanted to announce Borderlands 2 later this month, but due to a couple of leaks, its hands were forced, and fans of the series couldn't be happier. In conjunction...

Those imperfections are the unfortunate side-effect of the environment surrounding the chassis that ended up being retained even though the background was edited out. As you can tell in most of the shots, the side is in fact very flush with the chassis.

You know a cooler is a little -too- big when it requires a separate brace to hold it up! It'd be interested in know just how effective that thing is, even though it's ridiculous in all regards. Interesting, wasn't aware of that! Looking at the cooler though, I am thinking this cooler could...

I think the BBC article itself is a hoax. The reason is clear: We are not in that list! In all seriousness, good catch MacMan.

Whether or not you are fond of the 'downloadable content' idea that game publishers have clearly embraced, it's not going to go anywhere. In fact, while DLC was limited to just a select few titles a couple of years ago, there are very few games released today that are not built from the...

With the chassis market dominated by a small group of major companies, it's easy to get excited when we receive a model from a company that's not that well known - at least on these shores. In this particular case (no pun, of course), that company is Fractal Design, and its the silence-focused...

It's 2 x 1080p if we're looking at just the numbers in the resolution, but that's not what's important: 1920x1080: 2,073,600 pixels 3840x2160: 8,294,400 pixels

Think our HD content can't get much better than 1080p? With TV makers set to begin production of 4K models for mass consumption in the near-future, it might. Currently, almost all of the 1080p content viewed comes from either Blu-ray or select cable broadcasts, with most streaming services and...

With the USB 3.0 interface quickly gaining normalcy, we're seeing storage devices being launched left, right and center that support the super-fast speeds that it provides. We've even taken a look at a few such solutions ourselves (and have more in the works). But among all these thumb drives...

Valve is no stranger to creative game marketing, and with DotA 2, the sequel to the mega-popular Defense of the Ancients, the company looks to take things to the next level. Alright, "unprecedented level" might be a better description. Not only is the company planning to show off the game for...
