Part 1: Razer

Razer was certainly busy at CES 2013. The most notable device featured is their new gaming tablet. Packing a Quad-core processor and a Geforce 640 it certainly beats traditional tablets in terms of power. But that power will cost you at $999 it certainly is a bit harder pill to swallow compared to the $200 tablets out there.

Part One: Zalman Coolers

Zalman first came to my attention in the days of socket 462 and AMD Athlon chips, they had an aftermarket heatsink that produced very good temps with very little noise, a very rare thing back then! Since that point Zalman has continued to come out with interesting and effective coolers, I'm sure you've seen something from their Orb series at some point! At CES Zalman had a couple brand new coolers they were showing off. Both of them are innovative enough that they got the coveted CES Innovation awards! That's a good trick these days, most heatsink strategies have been played out by this point.

The first cooler we'll look at is Zalman's take on the All In One water cooling market. It's an Orb type cooler, very different than the usual setups. The name is a bit up in the air at the moment, but it sounds like it will be known as the C.I. Water Cooler.

No standard radiator here! Lots of surface area too, Zalman said it's along the lines of a 240mm radiator performance wise, but of course it fits a 120mm fan opening!

Ferrari has always been known for its beautiful styling as well as the breathtaking performance when it comes to cars. Since they are not very well known for headphones and audio equipment they decided to partner with Logic3 to put out a line of headphones that matches the styling and performance that is expected of the Ferrari brand.

CoolerMaster makes a lot of products. CoolerMaster also makes some very cool products. At CES 2013 CoolerMaster showed off a lot of very cool products.

The following article doesn't have everything in it, that would simply take too long. What we have here are the highlights.

We'll start with cases. CoolerMaster had a table full of 'em, these are what stood out.

OCZ's at it again, these guys just don't quit! ... Not only is the new Vector 2.5" SSD stomping around, OCZ has something newer and shinier coming! A couple things, actually. Here's a picture:

Anybody remember the Revodrive3 we tested? This is faster. More pics and some performance numbers after the Read More.

Gigabyte had something new and interesting to show us at CES. Smart-TVs are all the rage these days and Gigabyte has decided to make some boards to allow you to build your own all-in-one smart TV! The official name for the form factor is "Thin Mini ITX" How thin? Here're some pics:

Real thin. The only thing that sticks up over the USB port stack is the battery, and it doesn't stick up far at all!  Hit Read More for some more pics, including an installed setup.

TEASER: Thanks to CoolerMaster, we have the pleasure of bringing you an all exclusive "GIRL of CES 2013" ... Our boys Ed (aka Bobnova) and Dexter were invited to their PARTY ... and what a party it was!

The stick of RAM you see above is something new. Very new. It's the first functional DDR4 I've found. DDR4 comes with some interesting new features. The most obvious of them is the connector, they added a few dozen pins and also made the center of the PCB stick down further. This makes for better contact with the socket and reduces issues when motherboards flex while installing the RAM.

DDR4's slowest spec speed right now is 2133MHz, JEDEC official speeds are expected to be as high as 3200MHz! That's a big change from DDR3, which starts at 800MHz and tops out at 1600MHz.

We have a number of pics to share, so hit Read More to see them, and of course to read more about Microns new stuff!
