*Quote*: *OCZ Technology has done wonders for the RAM industry and has raised the bar over the past few years in terms of memory performance, aesthetics and pricing. The Gold XTE series is their mainstream high-end kit that offers some pretty incredible speeds with looser timings in order to keep it affordable. Running memory at speeds of up to 2.2GHz is pretty impressive and it stayed rock-solid at 2200MHz where it would fail at 2233 if we edged up the bus another single MHz. . .* If you feel that your readers would find this of interest, wed sure appreciate a post in your news section.

The only complaint I have about the Z9 Plus is that the top and front are somewhat of a fingerprint and dus t magnet.

*Quote*: *The new V6 GT CPU cooler from Cooler Master is the first cooler weve had on our Intel i7 test system from Cooler Master and overall it scored very well in our testing. The V6 GT is following in the footsteps of other Cooler Master coolers such as the V8 and V10 CPU coolers that feature a automotive or engine design. The design of the V6 GT is nice and sleek but not over the top like some other coolers. . .* If you feel that your readers would find this of interest, wed sure appreciate a post in your news section.

*Quote*: *I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical about the Razer Nostromo n52te.

*Quote*: *One of the key features of the NH-C14 is that it has 2 140mm fans mounted on the heatsink. The nice thing about this design is that you can remove either fan to get more clearance underneath the cooler or you can make the whole heatsink not as tall by removing the top fan. Of course if you leave both fans installed you should be getting better performance. . .* If you feel that your readers would find this of interest, wed sure appreciate a post in your news section.

*Quote*: *Testing a mouse pad involves the incredible subjective experience of using it in daily activities. As it is a gaming pad, I dropped it under my aging (albeit nice smooth and comfortable) Logitech MX 518 Mouse. I played mostly Call of Duty:Black Ops with it, but also jumped into some multi-player Unreal Tournament 3 for some good fast, twitch gaming. The mouse tracked very smoothly on this large pad and I never had any issues playing everything from Plants vs. Zombies to Black Ops and everything in between. .

When in manual mode, just touch the screen on the desired fan and then adjust it with the plus or minus symbol to your desired speed. Auto is the setting that I prefer as it automatically adjusts fan speed according to temperature at each probe. For example if your hard drive starts to heat up the Sentry LXE Fan Controller will automatically adjust the speed of that particular fan to accommodate for the change in temperature. . . * If you feel that your readers would find this of interest, wed sure appreciate a post in your news section.
