New 3DXtreme Review!
Posted By: Dean Nottis

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Spire KestrelKing VI Cooler Review & Giveaway.

Here's a clip:
"Spire has always made some decent coolers and the KestrelKing VI ranks among their better ones. While it doesn’t really rank up there among the top air coolers on the market like the XP90/120’s and Zalman’s it does certainly outperform the stock AMD cooler. The Spire KestrelKing VI cooler wasn’t terribly loud, overall we do recommend this cooler as a replacement for the stock AMD64 cooler or if you are shopping for an OEM CPU."

3DXtreme Review & Contest

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Apacer ShareSteno CD311 40GB Portable Backup Device.

Here's a clip:
"For our testing we simply did a couple backups of my compact flash cards and also connecting to the PC to navigate and move files. The CD311 did not require any drivers to use with the PC as it was seen by the computer as an external hard drive just as any other similar units we have used in the past. For backing up the compact media, it was as simple as plugging it into the media reader, powering on the CD311 and choosing to backup the entire contents. This unit does also provide the ability to browse any media and pick and choose files to backup also which is a nice little feature. Doing this might be a little time consuming but it offers some real flexibility of use."

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Sunbeam 20 in 1 Superior Panel.

Here's a clip:
"It seams everybody is wanting to do more and more with their PC these days. We have ultra fast systems that put out lots of heat, so we want to keep them cool. We have digital cameras and other devices that use all kinds of media cards, not to mention those that use USB, Firewire or even SATA connections. To fulfill these needs companies have come up with fan controllers, I/O panels, card readers, and temperature displaying LCD screens. But what about the limited amount of real estate on the front of your case? If you have all these items and a standard mid-tower case, there’s no room left for your drives. How are you supposed to make that work? That’s where Sunbeam comes in."

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Evercool HPC-925 Ice-Man Heatpipe Cooler.

Here's a clip:
"Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of reviewing a new cooler offering from Evercool, the HPC-925 Ice-Man. This cooler uses heatpipe technology to provide a cooling solution for a range of processors from AMD K7 and K8 to Intel P4’s. While we’ve seen a lot of heatpipes and have had mixed results, can we expect this one to be any different? Let’s find out…"

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Thermalright SI-97 CPU Cooler Review.

Here's a clip:
"Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of testing the latest Socket A heatsink from Thermalright, the SI-97. Although A64 and Pentium 4 users have been given the opportunity to use the XP-120 and XP-90, the users of the older Socket A platform have not been able to share in their good fortune. Thermalright would not forget, and soon they produced the SI-97, an even lighter version of the XP “Light and Easy” series of heatsinks."
