NVIDIA has launched it GTX 200 series graphics processing units, which include the GTX 260 and the GTX 280. The GPUs have the 240 processing cores compared with the two or four cores that PC processors have today. This technology is seen as a great leap forward in the industry to provide more realistic gaming to enthusiasts as well as faster functionality in general to mainstream computer users.

Imagine instead of taking over five hours to convert a video for your iPod, it only takes 35 minutes. Imagine using your PC to simulate protein folding to help find a cure for debilitating diseases. Imagine that your PC can dramatically accelerate everyday tasks, and deliver an exciting visual experience in the process. Today that imagination becomes a reality now that the leader in visual computing technologies, NVIDIA has introduced its new family of GeForce GTX 200 graphics processors (GPUs)which includes the GeForce GTX 280 and GeForce GTX 260 GPUstaking graphics beyond gaming and gaming beyond anything thats ever been possible before on a consumer computing platform.

Built with over 1.4 billion transistors, NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 280 and 260 GPUs are the largest and most complex GPUs ever created. Featuring 240 shader processors, 80 texture processors, and 1 GB of frame buffer, the GeForce GTX 280 better be enough to make you get all hot and sweaty. Read on as we look at the only water cooled GeForce GTX 280's on the market!

We just got a heads up that CoolIT is announcing liquid cooling solutions for Skull Trail later today! CoolIT Systems will announce later today its new ST line of liquid cooling solutions designed specifically to work with Intels D5400XS motherboard (formerly codenamed Skull Trail). The lineup consists of the Boreas MTEC Chassis ST and PURE ST both of which cooling to both CPUs and the chipset. Both the Boreas MTEC Chassis ST and PURE ST are available from multiple distributors and online etailers, with street prices expected to be $899 and $269 respectively. The picture of the $899 Boreas MTEC Chassis ST can be seen below.

The PURE ST easily fits into any chassis with a 120mm fan mount and efficiently cools both CPUs and the chipset with near silent operation. The Boreas MTEC Chassis ST combines CoolITs most powerful MTEC technology in the Boreas with the well renowned Silverstone TJ07 chassis to create the ideal barebones kit for the most avid PC enthusiast to the experienced professional content creator.

Last month, Kingston Technology announced the release of a high-performance, low-latency 800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered dual-inline memory modules (FB-DIMMs). Kingston uses a single U-shaped heat pipe to cool the FB-DIMMs' Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB). To help transfer the heat away from the heat pipe they then employed a set of nine cooling fins dissipate the intense heat from the AMB. Read on to see how the kit performs!

Are you looking for the perfect Bluetooth headset to go along with that new phone? The new Jawbone by Aliph is designed to look and feel like an accessory along the lines of jewelry and eyewear, but at the same time it offers best in class noise elimination and a battery that supports four hours of talk time.

The Austrian company Noctua has sent us their newest cooler the NH-C12P. This time around the folks at Noctua made the cooler smaller, lighter, and squeezed in 2 more heat pipes for a total of 6. Noctua has been shaking up the CPU cooling market with their silent yet efficient coolers all year. Join us as we put the NH-C12P CPU cooler through the paces and see if it can dethrone its predecessor from the top of our performance charts.
