    One of the challenges we face as a premium technology manufacturer is how to communicate some of our more enticing features and benefits when sending a system for review. We’ve been sending out systems for nearly a decade, and every reviewer has a different style, and is looking for different things. But what nearly all of them share in common is a heavy reliance on benchmarks. Apparently the thin line between Editors’ Choice awards and being an

    So what we’re seeing here is that NVIDIA has definitely brought the heat (in a cool way.) Possibly because of the 256-bit bus we’re seeing the Radeon HD 7970 continues to be very competitive at 2560x1600. But it’s definitely a back and forth. I’m doing some 1080P testing that shows that

  3. More Custom than Custom - MAINGEAR EPIC Research Labs launches the EPIC Audio Engine


    Customizeability is a word that gets thrown around a lot in this business. So is innovation. But are you really innovating when you’re just pulling components off the shelf and throwing them all in a configurator?

    When we designed the EPIC 180 with CoolIT, we knew we had something special. But a funny thing happened, we launched it during the Sandy Bridge days where it really didn’t take much to get to 5GHz! Often times the EPIC 180 found itself spinning slowly, waiting for a chance to really prove its mettle. The EPIC 120 and 140 were good for very high overclocks on Sandy Bridge CPUs that didn’t require a lot of voltage. Well, with the 130W monster that is Sandy Bridge-E, the EPIC 180 gets what it’s ...
