ECS P55H-AK motherboard review

We test and review the ECS P55H-AK. It is with the release of this P55H-AK motherboard that ECS finally reaches a state in product development where they can address the enthusiast consumer market. A board loaded with features, great looks and quite decent overclockability. A motherboard where ECS went excessive on everything, dual GIGe Ethernet NICs, not one but two USB 3.0 controllers for 4 ports, integration of a SATA 3 (6G) controller, and even a NVIDIA NF200 bridge chip to enable three-way SLI. All in all a terrific P55 motherboard with excellent features and just really hot looks.

ASUS P6X58D-E Motherboard

"Overclocking the ASUS P6X58D-E was simple once I realized it didn't like the XMP profile of the Mushkin Redlines with the default BIOS v108. To keep the board happy I had to run the memory at 7-7-7-20, with an update to v303 it was able to run the XMP profile just fine. Manually setting the BCLK, CPU multiplier, memory speed, CPU/QPI/memory voltage, turning off Speed Step, and a few other minor settings were all that were needed and then some to get past 200 BCLK - the number needed to get 4GHz without the extra turbo multiplier on a i7 920."

"When it came time to overclock the modules, the system was tapped out at 2500MHz on air. Maybe some sub-zero cooling could help these modules scale a bit higher. These modules will, however, run at lower speeds with tighter timings. Cas 6 was run at up to 1940MHz, Cas 7 to 2058 and surprisingly Cas 8 to 2490MHz. The only problem is to get the modules to scale, you need to bump up the TRCD setting in the memory sub-timings."

QNAP TS-459 Pro NAS

With the TS-459, QNAP presents us a NAS (Network Attached
Storage) in a class of its own. By using an Intel Atom Dual Core
processor, running at 1.66 GHz, the TS-459 is exceptionally fast and
the use of a Linux kernel grants enormous flexibility regarding the
configuration options. For example, due to the Linux networking stack
a dual Gigabit Ethernet adapter provides load balancing and enables
maximum redundancy while maintaining performance.

Quick Review: ViewSonic VP2655wb 25.5-inch LCD Monitor

"While some people may choose to let the price of a monitor determine which model they'll buy, some choose to dive a little deeper and base the purchase on the panel the model has opted for. Ultimately we've got two choices; TN which tends to favour gamers and people on a budget, and IPS for those who want higher quality and are happy to pay a little more for it.
The latest screen to grace us with an IPS panel comes from ViewSonic and is the VP2655wb. The first thing we have to say is, the box it comes in is massive! Unlike a lot of larger displays that separate the stand and panel to help keep the package down, ViewSonic has left it connected, which results in this massive box which is going to bring with it a nasty freight bill."

ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe (NVIDIA ION) Motherboard
|

"Of course, as more people jumped into the game using Intel’s building blocks, other companies like VIA (who started the form factor the nettop would be built on and built some of the first CPUs and chipsets for it) and NVIDIA wanted a larger piece of the pie. NVIDIA refashioned one of their older IGP flaunting chipsets, the MCP7A and renamed it ION. This move gave them a readymade solution to Intel’s existing (and underpowered) chipset available for the Atom CPU.
We have played around with a couple of ION based systems, but have not been able to give one a full review (well, I have not been able to). Now we are able to change that. Today we have the ASUS AT3IONT-I Deluxe MiniMax Home Entertainment System. This board features a dual core Atom 330 (complete with Hyper Threading), the NVIDIA ION MCP, support for DDR3 (up to 1066MHz), built in WiFi and its own power supply. It is quite a nice package for only $189.99 from NewEgg.com."

With the release of the 890-series chipset, AMD firmly planted their flag in the enthusiast arena. Interestingly enough, most motherboards sporting the 890FX retail for significantly less than their Intel counterparts while being equipped with similar feature sets. In this review we take a look at one such board from ASUS’ Republic of Gamers series: the Crosshair IV Formula.

Have media on your PC, but want to watch it on anything but the PC? With ASUS' O!Play, getting that job done is simple. Take 30 seconds to hook it up to a TV, and you can stream media through a network, or via external storage, such as eSATA or USB. It's simple, and at $100, it's not too hard on your pocketbook, either.

In this review we will be taking a closer look at the Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB solid state drive, which in addition to a 355MB/s maximum read speed, also offers a 140MB/s maximum write speed. The way that Crucial is able to offer such a high speed product is by being one of the few drive manufacturers to take advantage of SATA 6Gbps technology.

Since it's been quite a while since I last took openSUSE for a spin, I couldn't resist downloading the 11.3 release that came out in mid-July. To see how the distro fares today, I installed it onto my home PC and used it for just over a week. So, read on for an in-depth look at what's new and notable, and also for my experiences.
