Aftermarket CPU Cooling: Closed Loop Water Cooling vs. Air Cooling

We’ll show you the best result for each instead of averaging everything. We ran the i7-4960X at its default 3.3GHz in addition to an overclocked 4.3GHz configuration. All tests were conducted using a horizontal motherboard orientation, positioned flat in theCooler Master HAF-XB. Heatsinks with heatpipes were positioned so they spanned vertically. The Tundra TD02 has an all-aluminum block with a solid copper base. Intel mounting brackets are attached out of the box for LGA775/1150/1155/1156/1366/2011 sockets....

Lenovo Erazer X700 Gaming Desktop PC Review

Gaming, on the other hand, is one area Lenovo has mostly ignored over the years. Sound good so far? This is actually the same model availableat Best Buy for $1699. Although the starting price is $1699, it’s possible to spend more. In the future, I hope Lenovo forgoes silly contrivances like these and chooses to keep it classy. The resulting aesthetic is somewhat futuristic, sleek and easily more impressive than standard PC offerings....

Should You Buy a Sound Card? An Enthusiast's Perspective

Audio gear is trickier. There’s no clear-cut metric to use as a guideline if you’re shopping for a sound card. I fall into that category. I’ve never had anything except onboard sound and my knowledge of acoustics couldn’t fill a thimble. From that position, buying a sound card has always felt more like a gamble than an investment. But I mean, just how much better can music, movies and games sound?...

Apple iPad mini 2 Review

Yes, some things are cross-platform, but the best of the best still remains on iOS. The front sees 1.2-megapixel camera with an f/2.4 lens and 720p video capabilities. This is perfectly fine, as there’s no time where you’ll need your iPad for night photography. And of course Photo Booth is installed out-of-the-box, for all those crazy selfies that everyone likes to take.

Google Nexus 5: The TechSpot Review

The Google Nexus 5 (16 GB LG-D820) used in this review was kindly provided byNegri Electronics. The front panel of the Nexus 5 is pretty much as minimalist as phones come. The back of the handset should be familiar to anyone who has a 2013-model Nexus 7. There’s prominent landscape-oriented Nexus branding, a small LG logo beneath and a sizable camera unit. Around the edges of the unit there’s the usual array of features....
