Soltek SL-85MIR-L Motherboard

The most eye-catching feature of the Soltek SL-85MIR-L microATX motherboard is, in my opinion, the great looking silver PCB. Many manufacturers are now starting to market the 'revolutionary' silver PCBs for their increased reliability, enhanced performance, and reduced EMI. I'm not too sure whether or not any of this is true, but if there is one thing I'm certain of, that would that silver PCB looks truly awesome. The back of the board has a special strengthening plate for the CPU bracket, which will prevent the board from warping when using high-pressure CPU coolers.

Thermal Take Volcano 9 Cooler Review

"The initial impression of the Volcano 9 reminds us of the heatsink that was used for the Volcano 7. In fact after closer observation the only difference is the color. However this time around the cooler is sporting an updated 3 lug clip and an orange 80mm fan with a few leads coming off it. This cooler doesn't have the 100% copper, thin fin design of the Volcano 7+ thus pushing the technology of the heatsink itself back to the era of the Volcano 7. This new fan, dubbed Smart Fan II, is where the performance of the Volcano 9 originates."
