Thermaltake Element G Review - Not as easy as it looks
 Recently, thanks to MSI, Thermaltake, and Futuremark, I took delivery of my brand new case. So far I've been using a Thermaltake Armor for a few years, that I bought on impulse after waiting ages for the Antec 900 to be released (it was actually released two weeks after I got the Armor), and I still don't like it that much. So the opportunity to jump gaming cases came and I took it. And it's been one hell of a headache. Click through for the full review. |
[AnandTech] ASRock X79 Extreme4-M and X79 Extreme4 Review – Sandy Bridge-E meets mATX
 In our series of X79 reviews, the next boards to face scrutiny are a pair of ASRock boards – the X79 Extreme4-M, one of the first mATX solutions to X79, and the X79 Extreme4, a full size ATX model. The main interesting point to consider starts with whether the power consumption and heat generation are applicable to the Sandy Bridge-E platform. With the socket and quad channel memory taking up serious PCB real estate, it is interesting to see how ASRock have tackled heat dissipation issues. We also compare the Extreme4-M to the Extreme4, its bigger brother. Both boards offer amazing value in X79 land, coming in at a recommended retail of $224.99 and $234.99 respectively.

[AnandTech] ASUS P9X79 Pro Review
 In the pursuit of sheer performance, a user should aim to combine the ultimate CPU with the ultimate everything else – motherboard, memory, and so on. The latest enthusiast platform to hit our streets is Intel’s Sandy Bridge-E and X79 chipset, released today. So to start a series of X79 reviews, we are going to have a look at what the X79 chipset brings to the table over other Intel chipsets, and the first motherboard under our microscope is the ASUS P9X79 Pro, coming in at an RRP of $329.99. Needless to say, this is fairly expensive in the land of motherboards, even when pairing it with a $1000 CPU. However, if previous Intel chipsets are anything to go by, ASUS PRO boards get a lot of attention. So the question becomes ‘Is it worth it?’ Read on for the full review. |
