Corsair has long been offering some of the most attractive all-in-one liquid cooling options on the market with its Hydra series, but it’s been a while since the entry-level models have seen much of an update. That changed late last month, though, with the release of the brand-new H55 and revamped H60. Let’s check them out.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the latest foray of the Call of Duty franchise, picking up soon after the events of the original Black Ops released only 2 years ago.

If you can answer “yes’ to either of those questions, you may want to check out Origin today as its Cyber Monday promotion has kicked-off.

Right on schedule, Valve has just launched its annual “Steam Autumn Sale“. If you’re looking to save money, stop reading. While much of the site’s catalog is on sale, the most attractive sales will be featured on the front-page. Newer or popular titles can be found in the “Today’s Deals” section, while a random collection [...]
From most people, the words “I prefer eBooks” isn’t too shocking. After all, newspapers, books, magazines and so on have been moving over to digital platforms in droves for a while. But when you’re the CEO of a mega-bookstore, people tend to take notice. That’s where Barnes & Noble’s CEO William Lynch comes in. He [...]
If you’re like me and can’t manage to open up a fresh box of Oreos without snatching an entire row’s worth of cookies, this story is for you. We’ve already seen some of what Google could offer with its “Project Glass” augmented reality (AR) glasses, such as being able to scan food at the supermarket [...]
Our friends over at GOG.com have just kicked off another great promotion, this time offering an awesome collection of games for what I believe are the lowest prices ever seen on the site. It’s called “Pick 5 & Pay $10“, and while it’d be great if this took into consideration the entire catalog, the selection [...]
Where hard drives are concerned, a “4TB” stamp is no longer that surprising to see, as multiple options have been available for a little while. When we filter out both external enclosures and workstation markets, however, things begin to change. There, options have been just-about non-existent. But today, we have WD’s latest Black edition (miss [...]
Alright – a lot has happened with the site in the last two days, so let’s take this slow. On Monday, we pulled the trigger on a long-overdue idea; we launched a Facebook fan page. If you’re active there (and who isn’t?), you can keep up with our goings-on easier. For those who prefer Twitter, [...]
After having spent nearly four decades with Intel, the previous eight of which he presided over the company as President and CEO, Paul Otellini has announced that he will be retiring from the company in May.

By that we mean Kingston has utilized one or more generations of controllers from Toshiba, Marvell, Intel, JMicron, Samsung, and even SandForce with the high-performance HyperX series of SSDs.

Gartner has this week posted its Q3 mobile device sales report, and there’s quite a bit to note here. Probably most interesting but least surprising is the fact that Android now owns 72.4% of the entire smartphone market, up from 52.5% one year ago. Apple’s iOS takes second place with a share of 13.9, while BlackBerry OS [...]
When I woke up this morning, I had already believed that the DDR3-1600 memory in my rig was slow, but here comes a couple of pro-overclockers to really stick it to me. Earlier this month, HiCookie took a kit of G.SKILL’s TridentX 4GB modules and pushed them to DDR3-3354 speeds (1,677MHz) with an ultra-low CAS latency [...]
Well, this is a bit different. NVIDIA, who has been a good supporter of Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II, has just unveiled an interesting event that sees some of the country’s leading colleges go head-to-head. These teams will consist of four people each, and so far includes Cal, Standford, UCLA, USC, UNC and NC State. [...]
Just when we were all about content with current SSD speeds, here comes Everspin with a new non-volatile memory solution that promises to be up to 500x faster than traditional NAND.

The technology [...]
