Cooling is the first order of business today with a pair of coolers from Thermaltake and OCZ. First up is the BigTyp 14 Pro (recently reviewed by OCC here) sports 6 heatpipes and a large 140mm fan. We also get a chance to check out the Vendetta 2 (reviewed by OCC here). In the motherboard department we're being treated to some pictures of the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe Socket AM3 motherboard ahead of the launch of the AM3 processors. We also have a review of the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R motherboard (you can check out the OCC review here). Speaking of new launches, we also have a sneak peak at the just-launched Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green hard drive. Be sure to check out the rest of the items in the links below.
