  • Scythe Mugen 2 CPU Cooler @ Pro-Clockers

    Published: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 | By: Will

    Huge heatsinks are just awesome to look at. Then if they perform as well as there size it is a huge PLUS too. The first Mugan was a beast, but this one looks to take the cake.

    "Today's review sample was originally a pretty good cooler in its earlier days. The Mugen cooler was a favorite of many reviewers that had the pleasure of reviewing it. Performance was right there with the Noctua NH-U12P, Tuniq Tower 120 and many others we regarded as very good coolers. However, the new version is not only compatible with the new Intel i7 processor, but is heavier, taller and comes with a better performing cooling fan. Is it enough to put it at the top of the list with the likes of the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme and the new Zalman CNPS 9900 LED? We shall see."

    Hey Scythe where is Ninjalanes to play with?tongue smile

  • MSI 790FX-GD70 @ Bjorn3D

    Published: Tuesday, June 9, 2009 | By: Will

    At Computex 2009 this year Ninjalane was very impressed with the new stuff on the horizon from MSI. Here is a review of the new AMD 790FX-GD70 motherboard that looks great, and the layout is just about perfect.

    Our review of the 790GX-G65 left us with a nice taste in our mouth. Made us want the dessert of MSI motherboards. Well in this case, careful what you wish for because you just might get it! Today we are reviewing MSI's latest in AMD motherboards; The MSI 790FX-GD70. There where a few things that snagged us from before and MSI fixed all these little problems in their enthusiast board and even added a whole lot more that we didn't expect. From nice little knobs that overclock for you to extra voltage controls all the way to quad crossfire support, they give it all. When you open it you just expect great things. Well lets go take a look.

    What can I say I also like the darker colors on a motherboard.big grin smile

  • NL: PC Game Reviews Roundup

    Published: Tuesday, June 9, 2009 | By: Will

    It has been a little while since we looked at some of the PC game reviews out there. So let's take the time to look over a few.

    H.A.W.X. PC Game Review @ TestFreaks

    "When you hear the name Tom Clancy, you think of his books first and then a very close second, the games that bear his name. The majority of his games, like the Rainbow Six collection are all about teamwork, stealth and tactics. The game I have for review today veers a bit off from the norm of his games, it’s called H.A.W.X. and it’s a flying game, not a flight simulator, more of an arcade style combat flight game. H.A.W.X. is set in the near future where corporations have basically replaced government run military in many countries, they’re mercenaries essentially.  "

    Helldorado (PC) Review @ GamingHeaven

    "Helldorado is the sequel to Desperados, an action strategy game set to appeal to diehard fans of the franchise... for the rest of us however the game has one or two shortcomings which might be a deal breaker."

    Tunnel Rats (PC) Review @ GamingHeaven 

    Tunnel Rats tells the story of an American soldier in the Vietnam War. His helicopter is shot down and he enters into a one man rampage through Vietnam while trying to escape the hostile environment and the aggressive Vietnamese soldiers.

    Well not really lack of news but lack of news posting. 

    Lets see what I can dig up.

  • Computex coverage on its way

    Published: Friday, June 5, 2009 | By: Dennis

    Well its Saturday afternoon here in Taiwan which also marks the last day of Computex.  The last day is typically the one that is also open to the public making the show floor extremely crowed. 

    For us Computex was extremely productive, we had some great meetings with everyone we had intended to contact including some that should materialize into additional support for Ninjalane.com.  Computex did appear to be noticeably smaller this year.  Several companies didn't have show booth while others decided to take advantage of the marketing opportunity and invest a lot of time and effort into the show.

    For instance Foxconn had a huge booth last year complete with overclockers and lots of LN2.  This year they resorted to having only a VIP suite in the Hyatt that was only open to Sales.  Being that I have connections you can expect an exclusive Foxconn product tour come next week  happy smile

  • ASUS Mars GTX 295 SLI with 8GB RAM + Far Cry 2160p @ TweakTown

    Published: Thursday, June 4, 2009 | By: Will

    Computex 2009 is going strong, and Ninjalane is loving this year the most. By the way the looks of it are going so is everyone else hitting the show.

    "Computex Taipei 2009: When you visit a company at a trade show like Computex, there is always one truly standout product for us and for ASUS this year out in Nangang it was its Mars GTX 295 demo.

    What's special about the ASUS Mars GTX 295? Well for starters each is a limited edition and labeled as such and each comes with a massive 4GB of onboard video memory. Double them up in SLI and of course you have 8GB of video memory which is much more than the average user has of actual system memory."

    Can you say OVERKILL MUCH!big grin smile
