Corsair had quite a bit to show off at Computex this year, and so far we've covered the mid-range Graphite 600T chassis and also the company's upcoming line of professional power supplies, dubbed the AX series. Also in the company's suite at the Grand Hyatt was a sweet update to the...

Although the product at OCZ's booth to really catch our eye was the consumer-grade Revo PCI-Express solid-state disk, the company's upcoming support for the HSDL interface standard was also rather interesting and worth noting. Haven't heard of HSDL? Don't worry... neither did I until I saw...

The best part of being in Taiwan for Computex is that we're so close to a huge number of companies that we deal with on a regular basis. As Kingston has a factory not too far outside of Taipei, Hsinchu to be exact, the company invited a group of journalists and industry friends to take a...

I doubt there's much debate that Computex is one of the best tech shows of the year, but some of the reasons are better than others. Some may prefer some of the awesome product on display, and others may simply like the location. Then there are those who can't get enough of the booth babes. Yes...

Heading into a summer full of blockbuster titles that seem to all end up as rubbish, Brett takes a look at some of the top games from the past that really bring him back to gaming again and again. What do they have that so many games lack? You can read through Brett's nostalgic look at classic...

One of the worst kept secrets in the audio world over the past couple of months has been with regards to ASUS' Xonar Xense, a solution that promises to deliver top-rate audio fidelity and performance to gamers and audiophiles alike. Unlike previous Xonar audio cards, part of the rumor around...

In our review of NVIDIA's latest and greatest, the GeForce GTX 480, one of our largest complaints was with regard to the heat. Even during normal gaming, we saw GPU core temps rise to as high as 96°C, which is about ~6°C away from hitting the threshold... also known as the time the card will...

If you've read Robert's review of OCZ's Vertex 2, you know that it's one of the fastest drives ever produced, and unlike Crucial's C300, it seems to be devoid of game-breaking issues. At 285MB/s read and 275MB/s write, along with a 4K random write performance of 50,000 IOPS, the drive is...

Are you interested in equipping yourself with one of the fastest SSD's on the planet? If so, then OCZ's Vertex 2 is the one you want to keep an eye on. Thanks to its tweaked SandForce SF-1200 controller, the Vertex 2 is the fastest SSD we've ever tested, dominating almost every single one of our...

During a meeting with some of Gigabyte's VPs, we learned about the company's strategies and also delved into its outlook into the future of computing as it sees it. As far as the company is concerned, there's little reason to believe that the desktop market is dying. In fact, it believes...

On a media kit that OCZ handed us at Computex, there were numerous wallpapers in high-resolution (1920x1200) that I thought were pretty cool. I am not sure if they are readily available elsewhere, so I'm posting them here for those who are interested...

Since CES, EVGA's SR-2 motherboard has been the focus of much hype, and for good reason. For one, the board is simply huge, and two, it offers a lot of things that normal enthusiast offerings do not. The most important feature of course being the dual-processor support. Unlike any other DP...

After leaving a meeting with NZXT at last year's Computex, I felt a little bit underwhelmed. Not by the product, but rather because after seeing all I had seen, I was unable to share photos of it all, and thus had to resort to explaining some of the products rather than letting the photos...

When Corsair first launched its HX series of power supplies, they were well received for their high-quality and dependability. In no real regard could that series be considered to be a value proposition, but to prove that things can indeed improve, Corsair has now followed-up with its AX...

It was at last year's Computex that Corsair unveiled its highly-awarded 800D Obsidian chassis and H50 liquid CPU cooler, so I looked forward to meeting with the company again this year to see what products it was going to pull out of its hat. Fortunately, there are many to talk about. For the...

During NVIDIA's pre-Computex press conference, the company reiterated both its success with recent technologies, and also stressed the importance of 3D now and in the future. To kick the conference off, the ever charismatic Jen-Hsun Huang touted the company's recent successes, such as ION...

Most of today's desktop CPUs, including budget models, tend to be good for overclocking. But for those who are looking for the ultimate in tweaking ability, Intel's mainstream models have left a bit to be desired. With the K series, though, it aims to remedy that situation by offering unlocked...

Of all the commands available in the Linux command-line, one of the most under-appreciated is "alias". It's not just useful, it can make using the CLI less of a chore, and even improve efficiency. In this article, we're taking a look at what it is, and provide numerous examples of how to use it...

Where on earth does the time go? It feels like we finished up our Computex 2009 coverage not long ago, but lo and behold, the 2010 iteration of the show is right in front of us! As always, we'll be reporting from the floor, with coverage to begin next Monday at the latest. Due to the time-zone...

During all of my time spent working on Techgage, there's one fact that I've come to realize. That fact is that at just about the time Futuremark's current 3DMark benchmarking tool begins to become dominated by today's hardware, and especially today's overclockers, the company comes out of...
