We're far from sold on Asus' range of desktop systems and its R.O.G. series has yet to really impress, but the new CG8580 does at least have some pretty decent specs to say the least. This time around Asus has pulled out all the stops and gone with an Ivy Bridge CPU, a GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, Xonar DX audio and even a pair of SSD's in RAID, although most of these features are optional.

Overclocking guru K|ngp|n has managed another incredible feat. It wasn't too long ago that he managed to take an NVIDIA GTX 680 up to 1957MHz with the help of some extreme cooling. This time he has managed to push an EVGA GTX 680 up to 1442MHz on basic air cooling alone. That is quite the feat and proves just how great the Kepler architecture is.

Corsair today announced the new Air Series line of PC cooling fans. Unlike most other PC fans in the market, Corsair Air Series fans are offered in airflow and static pressure models, each specifically optimized for specific PC cooling roles. Air Series fans are designed to deliver an extraordinary balance of airflow and low-noise to users who want to upgrade their PCs for quieter operation or higher performance.

Cooler Master is no stranger to the market and is often the company that introduces a radically new design and gets away with it. However, the product we have today is HAF XM, a new case from Cooler Master’s HAF series that isn’t radically new, but has been highly anticipated.

AMD hasn't presented many news on the processor side since the launch of the Bulldozer architecture. Now no less than three new processors, whereof two comes with much higher clock frequencies and one of them ships with water cooling.

The new models are mainly for enthusiasts since they sport high clock frequencies, and like other FX models they are unlocked. At the launch of Bulldozer and FX-8150 the processor would come with water cooling, but so far it has not found the American or Swedish market.
