	Scythe Ninja 3 review By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 3, 2010 - 9:02 PM - 0 Comments Scythe Ninja 3 CPU cooler review Guru3D tests and reviews the Scythe Ninja 3 CPU cooler. The new organization of the aluminum fins allows, in cooperation with the eight U-shaped copper heatpipes marketed as M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow pass-through structure) guarantees high performance. This will get more clear in the photo-shoot though. According to Scythe is that translates into 7 per cent more heat removal compared to a cooler like the previous Ninja. The cooler is equipped with a 120mm-ventilator that can be regulated with the help of an included fan-controller in RPM from 470 to 1900 RPM with noise levels varying from 7 to 37dBA depending on your preference. You can find out all about it right here at this URL.


	MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK tested By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 2, 2010 - 9:12 PM - 0 Comments We test and review the MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK with 1024MB graphics memory. The only thing left original is the actual GPU as everything else was changed. We see a custom PCB with phase LEDs, voltage monitoring points, military class components and to put some icing on the cake the new TwinFrz II heatpipe cooler that hopefully will bring good temperatures versus low noise levels. It doesn't end there though, MSI is pre-overclocking this 1024MB HAWK model towards 780 MHz. That makes this the top dog GeForce GTX 460 on the market, interested ? Well, you can read the full review right here and now.


	OCZ RevoDrive 120GB review By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 1, 2010 - 11:19 PM - 0 Comments OCZ RevoDrive 120GB gets tested We test the OCZ RevoDrive. Pretty much two SSDs slapped onto a PCB, armed with a RAID controller. Pop it in, install the new storage unit and you'll have tremendous performance right of the shelves without the need to configure anything. What OCZ did was done right. They smacked 120GB or alternatively 240 GB of the fastest NAND Flash memory on the PCB, armed that Flash memory with two separate 8-channel SandForce SSD ICs, then bind them to a SIS RAID controller, pop on a PCie x4 bridge and then offer a "PCIe SSD" (if you can call it that) reaching 300,k 400 even 500 MB/sec read and write speeds. Check out the full review right here.

	nVIDIA outs low-end GeForce GT420 By Panagiotis Georgiadis, September 4, 2010 - 12:03 PM - 0 Comments NVIDIA GeForce GT 420 GPU is the new low-end solution for internet and office users who choose to live a tranquil life without the disturbing noises of the fans. This pretty much means that you have to say ‘hello’ to this passive cooling graphics card, which pushes the limits of the new video generation. Latest 3D movies and Blu-ray 3D titles, it’s just a great choice for staying home up at night watching your favorite film. In addition, it seems that nVIDIA has another solution for you, called DirectX11 domination. Level-up your game with a GeForce 400 series and replace your DX9 and DX11 titles. Nevertheless with NVIDIA Verde™ Drivers, you get continuous performance optimizations for the life of your GeForce GPU. Speaking of specifications, the card comes with 48 CUDA Cores, 700 Mhz Graphics Core, 1400 MHz of Processor Clock (aka Shaders) and finally 900 Mhz Memory Clock. The standard memory capacity is 2 GB DDR3 (really, why that much?) over a 128-bit interface that offers a memory bandwidth of 28.8 GB/sec. All known features are also supported, such as nVIDIA 3D Vision Ready, PureVideo, PsysX, CUDA, DirectX, OpenGL and PCI-e 2.0 x16 lanes port. As for the display support, there is maximum digital resolution of 2560x1600 and maximum VGA resolution 2048x1536. Finally, let’s plug our displays in that. So, looking the back I/) panel you will be familiar with a DVI-I, HDMI and VGA connectivity ports. Please notice that Multi-monitor, HDCP, HDMI and there is also an audio input for that high definition videos, all of them are also enabled. The card has maximum GPU temp at 105 C degrees and maximum TDP of 50W. So, is this an answer to ATI Radeon 5450 ? We will soon find it out. For the time being, there are no any prices or release dates confirmed.


	GlobalFoundries Shows AMD Llano and Orochi 8-Core By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 3, 2010 - 8:53 PM - 0 Comments GlobalFoundries offers a little preview at one of the upcoming Fusion processors from AMD, the Orochi based on the Bulldozer architecture as Softpedia reports. Bobcat's firstborn will be the 40nmOntario mobile chip and comes with embedded DirectX 11 graphics. is intended for desktops and servers with Orochi being one of the flagship chips. No real information was provided on this 8-core product besides that it will be the second 32nm-based product and will be built immediately after the Llano. The Orochi will feature a set of 4 Bulldozer modules, which provide 8 cores and 8 threads, and will probably have an AM3+ package with an integrated DDR3 memory controller. On the other hand, the individual L2 caches will be of 1MB and will support dual-channel DDR3 and will, of course, have its own built-in graphics with support for DirectX 11.The APU should also feature an integrated northbridge, integrated PCI Express root complex, a HyperTransport interface to the chipset and an integrated SIMD array with 480 stream processors. The Llano will have to compete with the Sandy Bridge processors from Intel, which also have integrated graphics and will feature better performance than the current Core series [via Softpedia / PCPer].

	AMD Radeon HD 6800 series might launch in 2011? By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 3, 2010 - 8:46 PM - 0 Comments A Polish tech site PCLab claims an AMD employee leaked information about the launch dates of upcoming Radeon HD 6000 series graphics cards. The site claims the Radeon HD 6000 series will be more than a minor refresh, and that the card will be more power efficient and be faster clock-for-clock than the current generation. AMD will reportedly first release entry-level and mainstream Radeon HD 6000 graphics cards sometime in the fourth quarter of this year, but where it gets a little bit weird is that the dual-GPU Radeon HD 6970 will allegedly arrive first by Christmas 2010, with the Radeon HD 6800 cards to follow in early 2011. Widespread rumours suggest that the first release is indeed a mainstream card - the Radeon HD 6700 series - on October 13th 2010. However, the schedules of the other HD 6800 and HD 6970 come as a surprise, especially the dual-GPU HD 6970 releasing before the HD 6800 series. Of course, the HD 6970 being a dual-GPU HD 6770 is also a possibility. The other cards in the family - HD 6500/6600/etc., are not mentioned explicitly, though it is implied they might release before the HD 6800 series.


	Creative debuts two Sound Blaster Tactic 3D gaming headsets By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 3, 2010 - 8:44 PM - 0 Comments Creative presents two new gaming headsets with THX TruStudio Pro technology. Creative, a worldwide leader in digital entertainment products, today announced the new line of Tactic 3D™ gaming headsets featuring THX® TruStudio Pro technology for a completely immersive 3D audio experience. Available in September, the Sound Blaster® Tactic 3D Alpha™ and Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma™ gaming headsets are the first Sound Blaster headsets to feature customizable profiles, for a precise audio experience every time. The THX TruStudio Pro audio technology, developed by the legendary sound engineers at Creative, in conjunction with THX, uses proprietary advanced algorithms that allow sounds to be recreated above, below and all around the gamer, surpassing the limitations of typical 5.1 and 7.1 headsets. It also allows gamers to hear voices and sounds in amazing detail regardless of how far away they are, making the Tactic3D line of headsets the optimal way to fully experience audio in the next generation of 3D gaming. THX TruStudio Pro Surround Audio delivers a 360 degree surround sound gaming experience so gamers can hear sounds clearly from the front, back, above and below. “The difference between hearing sounds just to left of me versus to left and above me is huge when playing in a tournament match. THX TruStudio Pro Surround gives me the advantage I need versus using standard 5.1 and 7.1 headsets,” said Yfran "Eafra" Garcia, professional FIFA player. THX TruStudio Pro features proprietary THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer™ real-time audio restoration technology, which enhances in-game sound by restoring low and high end frequency curves lost to compression. “With THX TruStudio Pro Crystalizer we hear details that you just aren’t able to hear otherwise, which gives us a definite competitive advantage,” said Alex "Sodah" Ringe, professional World of Warcraft player. THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume™ addresses the problem of abrupt volume level changes in games by automatically and continuously measuring volume, and intelligently applying gain and attenuation to compensate for those changes. “In critical gaming matches there is a lot going on audio-wise. You have team leaders calling out instructions, gun fire and other audio cues happening all around you. Having THX TruStudio Pro Smart Volume is important because it allows me to hear everything in the map, near or far,” said David "Xp3" Garrido, professional Counter-Strike player. THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus™ enhances voices during in-game communication for clearer dialog, allowing the gamer to hear the dialog over the rest of the sounds and over ambient noise in the listening environment. “Whether you are listening to dialog or listening to your team strat caller, it’s critical to be able to hear commands clearly and THX TruStudio Pro Dialog Plus allows voices to cut through in-game audio even in the most intense situations,” said Michael "Twix" Shane, professional World of Warcraft player. Explosive THX TruStudio Pro Bass™ produces heart-pounding, customizable bass levels without compromising signal integrity. “It is always satisfying to get a frag with the rocket launcher. It is even more satisfying with THX TruStudio Pro Bass enabled,” said Brian "dkt" Flander, professional Quake Live player. All of the features within the THX TruStudio Pro software suite are completely customizable and can be saved with the TacticProfile feature, so gamers don’t have to modify their settings every time they play. Features of Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Alpha Headset 40mm Neodymium drivers for great gaming audio performance Optimized lightweight design for marathon game play THX TruStudio Pro software suite for an immersive audio experience Customizable TacticProfile enable gamers to save their own settings or use pre-configured settings from pro-gamers Programmable VoiceFX™ for voice morphing into in-game characters or during VoIP chats Detachable noise-canceling microphone allows headset to be used as great sounding headphones Dual Mode™ USB 2.0 adapter enables headset to be used in analog mode Non-tangle flat ribbon cable Features of Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma Headset All of the features of the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Alpha, plus: 50mm Neodymium gaming-tuned linear high-resolution drivers Steel core headband for a precise fit with maximum durability Pricing and Availability The Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma will retail for US$89.99 and the Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Alpha will retail for US$59.99. Both headsets will be available in September.


	PS3 Jailbreak Code loose on the web By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 3, 2010 - 8:41 PM - 0 Comments The code powering the PS3's first modchip is now officially out there, meaning anyone with an internet connection and a USB micro-controller can get under their PS3's skin. The PSGroove, a new jailbreak solution engineered from the same code that powers the first modchip, is touted as an 'open source' PS3 exploit, meaning it's not out for profit, not being sold by anyone and doesn't have a company name behind it to pin a lawsuit on. As of right now, the standard PSGroove code doesn't let you play backups of your games. But now that it's out there in the hands of hackers, that feature will be with us soon, if it isn't already. Note: With the release of PSGroove opensource PS JailBreak exploit for PS3, many are having trouble sourcing the required Teensy++, AT90USBKEY2 or AT90USB162 boards.
