Although Jetart products aren’t widely available in the western part of the world, they have produced some great coolers in the past, among them some interesting notebook solutions. Today I am testing out their newest laptop cooler, the X Cool NP8000. It’s designed to be lightweight and portable, but will it be effective?

“Even though CPU’s are getting more and more powerful, with a large percent left idle, there are more dedicated add-in cards than ever. With physics processing units (PPU’s), GPU’s, it isn’t so strange that there is a NPU (network processing unit). That’s exactly what BigFoot have brought to the table with their Killer NIC which has a fairly hefty price tag, and hopefully performance to warrant the expense.”

“For most of you who have any experience building enthusiast systems the name “Cooler Master” is known. Whether you are looking for cooling for the processor, power supplies or even enclosures, this company has been working with hobbyists for quite some time.

Today’s piece will cover a new style of enclosure that is becoming popular very quickly; that being a case which cools well and still maintains a high level of silence. The COSMOS 1000 is Cooler Master’s response to this new desired product and we plan on seeing if it can deliver both qualities it claims.”

As the name suggests, the TripleHead2Go Digital Edition improves over their previous model with the replacement of analog VGA to completely digital DVI, both for input and output. This new unit will still take regular VGA as a source, and outputs to three different monitors. To add even more flexibility, you can mix and match monitors however you wish: not all of your monitors have to be digital. Your multi-monitor setup can include 2 analog monitors and a digital LCD panel, a 3-LCD setup, or any other combination. If you can’t scrounge together 3 monitors, then don’t worry: the unit will also function as a DualHead2Go, and you can add another monitor later.

“Storage solutions for the desktop hard disk market are now really starting to take shape. Over the past ten years of PC technology hard disks have been stagnant while sizes have just slowly increased, we have been stuck with the same slow and clumsy interface.

Today we have our hands on one of the largest capacity desktop drives available on the market. Hitachi has sent us their new Deskstar 7K1000 drive supporting a full terabyte of data. How will this drive perform? Let’s go have a look.”

The CoolIT Systems Freezone Thermoelectric CPU Cooler lives up to the name. The Freezone is capable of handling 175W of power and this means it can help you push your modern AMD or Intel processor to higher clock speeds with lower temperatures. Despite the complex appearance of the system, installation is surprisingly easy, meaning you will be up and running on your cooler CPU in no time.

“But where does this processor really fit in? Is it worth the ~US$1000 current pricetag or is there something that is faster from Intel that can be purchased for the same money? Well, for one thing, you won’t need a new motherboard if you stick to the 1066Mhz FSB, but with the quad-core line dropping in price, will this processor be deemed the black sheep of Intel’s higher end processor lineup?”

Over at tweaknews they have a review of the Steel Series SX Pro Gaming Mousepad Review.

“In the end it comes down to one question: Are you prepared to pay for the best. At a hefty 49.95 Euro (US$70) this is not a product a casual user will be interested in. I personally would never spend that much on a mouse pad but I don’t claim to be an avid gamer either. If you are looking for the best gaming pad money can buy, you’ve found it. If you are looking for good performance at an affordable price, keep looking.”
