One to rule them all. We figured let's make a new system and go a little crazy. So the guys over at Smooth Creations decided to help us out by taking care of a custom paintjob. I wanted blue Guru3D colored flames with our logo stamped in there with a black coating. http://www.guru3d.com/article/projectx--building-a-new-guru3dcom-test-rig/ PC Cases and Modding http://www.guru3d.com/article/projectx--building-a-new-guru3dcom-test-rig/ Mon, 29 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +1000 This new SSD is MLC-based and measures in at just 2.5-inches easily placed in a desktop PC and obviously a perfect fit for your laptop. With a SATA II interface type and a built-in EDC/ECC protection this G.SKILL drive is ready to handle your data for sure. The G.SKILL FM-25S2S will be in two sizes the 64GB model and the 128GB model. So in this review we'll look at the G.Skill 64GB SSD which you can find under part number FM-25S2S-64GB at a sales price of roughly $159 USD. http://www.guru3d.com/article/gskill-ssd-solid-state-disk-64-gb-review/ Memory http://www.guru3d.com/article/gskill-ssd-solid-state-disk-64-gb-review/ Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +1000 The GeForce GTX 295 tested and reviewed. Today is the day that we can lift up a a big chunk of the mystery that you guys have heard about in the rumor channel for a while now. It's the GeForce GTX 295. As usual the rumors where pretty accurate. The GeForce GTX 295 will be an all new dual-gpu graphics card from NVIDIA based on the 55nm GeForce GTX 200 derivatives. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-295-preview/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-295-preview/ Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +1000 Today we'll test the fifth X58 motherboard in a row. This time from the folks at eVGA. They recently released their eVGA X58 SLI motherboard loaded with features. Tagged with a 299 USD sales price this motherboard seem to be very impressive. But since it's eVGA they decided that this motherboard should be all about overclocking and nothing else. We'll cover the motherboard from A to Z and to spice it up a little I'll slap on some water-cooling and overclock our processor towards 4.2 GHz stable. http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-x58-sli-review/ Mainboards http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-x58-sli-review/ Fri, 19 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +1000 We test a 6GB DDR3 memory kit rated at 1600 MHz from the good people at G.Skill. A company that many of you don't even know yet have been around for over 18-years. G.Skill is expanding into the European and US market though and their presence is becoming larger and more apparent quickly. http://www.guru3d.com/article/g-skill-ddr3-pc312800-triple-channel-memory-review/ Memory http://www.guru3d.com/article/g-skill-ddr3-pc312800-triple-channel-memory-review/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +1000 A test on the Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition processor. Phenom X2 anyone The product we are reviewing today is exactly that. AMD developed a new dual-core processor based on the TLB bug-free B3 revision under the codename KUMA. And quite frankly... it's a really interesting product as for less than 79 USD/EUR you get to have quite a nice performing product with fairly nice clock frequencies. Yes... 79 USD. http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-athlon-x2-7750-be-review/ Processors http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-athlon-x2-7750-be-review/ Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +1000
