StarTech USB 2.0 and DisplayPort KVM switch review

The rear of the switch naturally handles all of the connectivity, starting out with the power input on the bottom left-hand corner of the unit.  Next to this we find USB ports to allow for both a USB keyboard and mouse to be attached, as well as a USB hub for any other USB 2.0 devices you may wish to switch between two PCs.  Next to those A-type USB connectors are a pair of B-type connectors for connecting the KVM to the two PCs you wish to switch USB devices between. Above this we find...

GlacialTech Igloo 5760 CPU Cooler Review

GlacialTech have successfully build a very cheap, easy to install and good looking little CPU cooler; it is mostly intended for environments that do not imply overclocking. In the performed tests, however, even if on the package it was listed that the i5 750 CPU is supported with its stock 2.66GHz frequency, I could do 3.2GHz without problems at all and with decent temperatures too, in both IDLE and Full Load.

Coolermaster Vortex Plus Heatsink Review

The Coolermaster Vortex Plus heatsink stands 83mm tall, in total. A 25mm thick, 92mm PWM fan exhausts downward so waste air impinges on a lower extruded aluminum heatsink that sits atop the processor. It's both a good use of space for additional cooling surface area and an admission by heatsink designers that the aluminum fins above aren't getting the whole job done by themselves. Read...

NZXT Premium Cables Review

Today for review I've got a quick one actually, it's a set of cables from NZXT. They're just called Premium Cables, and for good reason they're very nicely made.

Cyber Snipa Silencer Review

For the professional, there's one component of the gaming world that arguably stands out above the rest in importance. You can always disable anisotropic filtering and drop the resolution if you want to claw back a few extra frames each second, but the precision and effective "frame-rate" of your mouse will always be limited by the technology in which you invest. It's with this in mind that we now set out to put Cyber Snipa's latest offering, the Silencer, to the test. These fine folks from...

IPEVO Point 2 View (P2V) USB Camera Review

When you think about a webcam, what comes to mind? I know most of us will recognise the typical web camera's that have become very popular over the years. Basically consisting of a small bubble shaped camera on top of a small, wobbly, unstable stand. The balancing act of having the camera on top of your monitor, or on a stack of CD's and books to try and get that perfect angle is much more than just a hassle. Though fortunately our good friends at IPEVO have come up with a nifty, possibly...
