Vvikoo 8800GT Max 1GB

While it's always exciting to receive review samples from the big boys in the hardware world, it's also nice to take a look at something a little different and this almost always comes from the little guys. Now, Vvikoo are manufacturers of some top end nVidia and ATI based GPU solutions, so using the word [...]

SteelSeries Ikari Laser

We've seen high-end mice for a while now, with most gamers either opting for a Razer or Logitech branded mouse to do their fragging. SteelSeries have recently added a third vender to the list with their Ikari Laser mouse, which I have here ready to be put through its paces.
Featuring the usual on-the-fly sensitivity and [...]

Thermalright HR-05/IFX

Recently we managed to get our reviewing mitts on the Thermalright HR-05 chipset cooler, that managed to combine a low price with better-than-stock cooling, but had an awkward fan size (70mm) and fiddly mounting system.
Today I have another HR-05, but this time it's the IFX version, similar to the IFX-14 heatsink that we also reviewed [...]
