Hardware Roundup: Tuesday Edition

There's a bit of everything in today's roundup, starting with one of NVIDIA's latest video cards. The GeForce GTX 770 gets the DirectCU II treatment by ASUS, which means a custom cooler and the opportunity for even higher overclocks than what it already comes with. If you're a watercooling aficionado or want to get into it, yet your case doesn't have a ton of extra room, perhaps our next review is the perfect solution. The XSPC AX Radiator Desk Stand allows for a radiator to be installed externally in order to help with cooling and preserve your case's interior space. We also have a look at the Wi Reader and Wi Reader Pro wireless cloud servers for iOS and Android/iOS, respectively.

Hardware Roundup: Wednesday Edition

The middle of the week brings a couple of items for your viewing pleasure, but both of them are worth checking out. AMD is in the next-generation consoles from Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, which is causing some concern from the media that it'll carry over into the PC side as well. However, we have a new article where NVIDIA reaffirms its committment to PC gaming and working with developers to ensure PC games are precisely how they should be. We have a review on a new NAS from ASUSTOR, which is a four-bay unit with an Intel Atom processor and Linux distro to help get your files wherever you need them in your home.

The performance is certainly impressive, so head on over to the review to get the full scoop. If you just need more storage, well there's the SanDisk 240GB Extreme II SSD to check out.

We have a little bit of everything for you in the middle of the week, including some reviews on AMD's newly released Richland APUs (OCC review on the A10-6800K and A10-6700 here). The A10-6800K is the new flagship part and gets its share of the reviews, as does the A10-6700, but even the low end A4-4000 gets in on the action. On the Intel side we have a look at the MSI Z87 MPower motherboard for the new Intel Haswell processorsThere's a review on a 2GB AMD HD 7790 from Gigabyte if you need a new video card instead of an APU. We also have another look at the Cooler Master Notepal U2 Plus cooling pad so your laptop doesn't melt during an intense gaming session. Desktop cooling is covered with a review on the AeroCool Touch-2100 fan controller, complete with a multi-colored display and five channels. If you want a bit of a history lesson, well how about a look at the history of the hard drive from its beginning way back in 1953 to today.

Laptops and tablets are incredibly popular these days, and today we have a look at two different models. Lenovo's IdeaPad Yoga 11 is an NVIDIA Tegra 3-powered tablet convertible, which means it can do double duty as both a tablet and a laptop. Powered by Windows RT, see what this unique design can accomplish in the review below. The other laptop is a more traditional design, with Gigabyte's U2442F Ultrabook running an Intel Core i7 3517U and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650M. It's loaded with Windows 8, but lacks a touchscreen like most other laptops running the latest OS. Our final review focus on the game Prison Architect, perhaps one of 2013's most interesting titles. See what to make of it and the laptops below.

A new socket and motherboard line is introduced alongside the Haswell series, and there's reviews on multiple Z87 boards from ASUS and MSI. If you need a new video card, then perhaps the Gigabyte GTX 780 WindForce OC 3GB could be the solution.

NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 770 just launched yesterday (OCC review here), and today we have more reviews on it for you to check out. Most focus on the stock version, but EVGA's take on it, the GTX 770 ACX, includes a custom cooler that should help your card reach that new level of overclocking. For something other than a video card, there's a review on the ASRock Z77E-ITX motherboard that could be the building block for an HTPC rig.

Hardware Roundup: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Edition

NVIDIA just rolled out its second card in the 700 Series with the GeForce GTX 770. This card may run the same GK104 core as some of the 600 Series, but NVIDIA has tweaked it in such a way as to deliver a good performance boost. Oh, and it comes standard with 7000MHz (QDR) memory. It's a more affordable option than the GTX 780, as the GTX 770 carries a $399 MSRP, and the performance makes it an exceptional value if you're in the market for a new video card. If you want to see how it compares to the GTX 780, the GTX 680, and AMD's offerings, then check out all the reviews below for the big picture!

Hardware Roundup: Friday Edition

The end of another week has arrived, and it brings a look at some different ways to keep your computer cool. We have a review on the XSPC RayStorm 750 RS240 watercooling kit, which provides everything you need to get a loop up and running. There's also a look at two air coolers that are certainly different than other tower coolers. Both the Prolimatch Genesis and Titan Fenrir Siberia add a horizontal grouping of cooling fins to go with the vertical grouping, so read on to see how this approach works. For anyone looking for an SSD, we have a review on the OCZ Vertex 3.20 120GB model that makes use of 20nm MLC NAND flash. We also have a new podcast from the PC Perspective folks.
