Hello to all the readers of Xtremehardware.com, today we will review a particular product, dedicated to those who have passion for driving simulations both for PC and for console. We are talking about the stand for wheels and pedals called Wheel Stand Pro. This particular stand is compatible with all Thrustmaster series T and with the Logitech G27 and Fanatec wheels; alternatively, TH8A gear shifter and T3PA pedal can be used without problems as in our test. This stand, completely made of metal, doesn’t occupy much space thanks to the possibility to be bent and this thing will satisfy those who have problems with complete cockpit because of the limited space. Let’s have a look to the Wheel Stand Pro and to the results of our test. We will also see its functions in a video so we suggest you to follow the whole review. Here the Italian Review [Italian Version].

Hi to all Xtremehardware.com friends, especially to liquid cooling fans! Today, we’ll talk about full-covers again, starting the reviews of these products for Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 video cards. After several reviews published about Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 and AMD Radeon R9 290 waterblocks, it is now time to move on to the next series. The first full-cover for Maxwell (GM204) was offered by Aquacomputer, who sent us an amazing Kryographics GTX 980 acrylic glass edition, nickel plated version.

With the spread of Personal Computers, hardware and peripherals with increasingly aggressive look, the most courageous users have slowly taken the road of modding. Similarly to the car tuning phenomenon, even the PCs are increasingly subject to more or less evident visual changes and this art form is taking more and more room. Some manufacturers, in order to go beyond the classical canons, try to impress the users with more and more interesting design products. Lamptron, a world-wide known company, is manifesting its interests in this area and, a few days ago, it has started its own campaign pro-modding. In this article we will describe you in detail this initiative and we will do it together with Luciel Campbell, responsible for European public relations in Lamptron and modder of international fame!

At the court of the King of kings, the clarions stopped the sound for the town crier’s solemn announcement at the end of the tourney organized by XtremeHardware.com and SilverStone Technology. The valiant vanquisher chosen by the fate is...

SilverStone and XtremeHardware are pleased to announce a giveaway of the King o Kings, the SilverStone TJ11 we have just reviewed. It's very easy to win: we will draw a fan from our XtremeHardware Facebook page when we will reach 2000 fans and when the SilverStone will reach 3000 fans. So, like the two pages, if you didn't before, and ask your friends to do the same! The contest will end as fast as much you will spread the voice!

Let me make an introduction to this article: the review you will read today, for me, is a personal achievement! Since the SilverStone TJ11 came on the market I said "I have to test it!" I tried to do my best to get it in the lab for testing, and here we are! I sincerely thank SilverStone for this great opportunity and all people that have contributed to this cause

Today we inaugurate a series of articles about the famous SilverStone brand, starting with an analysis of its proprietary cooling solutions. Furthermore, we will present a series of cabinets each having different features, hence oriented to different user groups; we’ll also present during the analysis several interesting products, always of the same brand.

In this second part we will analyze in detail the performance of the Intel i7-3960X with Sandy Bridge-E architecture. Several tests will be run with various software, specific tests on the memory, CPU frequency, 3D and consumption scaling and overclocking. Very interesting are the comparison tests the Intel i7-980X.

In this article we'll show you a detailed analysis of the performance of the AMD FX-8150, top of the range of proposals based on the new Bulldozer architecture. The tests provide a full suite of tests in which the CPU will be compared to other proposals of the market, either by default or at different frequencies. We will also consider the impact of memory on performance, and the consumption as a function of voltage.

We had already noticed that the WinRAR benchmark, but also the application itself, does not benefit from Hyper-Threading Technology from Intel. In fact we had the same values found on the CPU 2600K, both with 8 logical cores and both with 4 logical cores. Now we will try to shed light on the problems and secrets of the core parking of Windows Seven.

Today, November 14, we see the debut of the new Intel Sandy Bridge-E based on the new Socket LGA 2011, they replace the previous LGA 1366. The architecture of these CPUs reflects what we saw about a year ago for the CPU LGA 1155, which marked an important milestone in the evolution of processors. Sandy Bridge LGA 1155, although belonging to the mid-range Intel platforms, has in effect meant the disappearance of the LGA 1156 CPU but also of the LGA 1366, going to compete with high-end CPU such as hexa-core i7 980X and 990X for because of excellent performance, both default and overclocked.

In this article we present the new server architecture based on AMD's Bulldozer core class. We describe the 4200 series CPU for 1 and 2-socket systems and 6200 series for 2 and 4-socket systems and a maximum of 64 cores.

In this article we present a detailed description of the new AMD CPU architecture: Bulldozer. We will unveil the details of the system architecture and of the various components integrated into the chip. In today's debut four new models based on this architecture: FX-8150, FX-8120, FX-6100, FX-4100. We will see the features after having explained in detail the innovations introduced by AMD.

MSI 990FXA-GD65 is proposed as high-end motherboard for AMD AM3+ CPU, so compatible with the upcoming AMD Bulldozer. Powered by the AMD 990FX chipset, it has nice features, that we will discuss in the course of this review.

Today we introduce an XSPC product that makes the flexibility and compactness some of its strength. The XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25 Bay Reservoir Pump offers the advantage of having the reservoir and the pump in a single product, to be placed in front of the case, in 2 slots dedicated to optical drives.
