Hands-on with the Inno3D GeForce 9600GT iChill Hurricane graphics card

This is the Inno3D GeForce 9600GT iChill Hurricane graphics card and it’s a good cooler with a nice package, excellent performance and just generally a great card. The Inno3D GeForce 9600GT ticks all the right boxes. Tweak Town have given this graphics card a full hands-on review and covered the results over 17 pages, in their final thoughts they said “I’ve always been a bit of a fan of the iChill series from Inno3D; they’ve always offered coolers that we don’t really see on other cards. The 9600GT we have today is no different, but we do have to wonder about this whole build-it-yourself process. While the experience was kind of cool and a bit fun, it’s not something that we would want to get used too.

The design behind the cooler is also very good in that you can have it run silently while still keeping the overclocked speeds, making it an excellent choice for people who want a silent 9600GT that comes overclocked out of the box.

On the topic of the overclock, the speeds that Inno3D offer out of the box, while not being the fastest we’ve seen to date, are definitely above the standard overclock that we get from a lot of companies.

There isn’t an iChill product we haven’t been impressed with, and we can’t see that changing any time soon. We’ve got some good, fast cards on the market from them that have unique coolers that help them stand out from the pack.

Availability on the card is good and the price isn’t something we would complain about. There’s no reason to be wary of installing the cooler, as it’s an absolute breeze with no tools needed. So if you’re looking for a 9600GT that’s a little different, this could be one that’s worth buying”.

Rock Band only for Xbox 360 this spring

Imagine yourself rocking up a storm centre stage, with all your friends up there with you. It’s you on lead guitar, the other guys laying down the bass and really hitting those drums. Since you’re rolling with a classic rock anthem everybody takes turns on vocals. It’s awesome. Well no need to imagine; Rock Band for Xbox 360 (and only for Xbox 360 this spring we might add) makes it all possible. This earthshaking idea is another hurricane screaming from the imagination of Harmonix. Now these guys are working alongside EA to deliver the world’s greatest tracks. You’ll play replica drums and guitars, and howl down a microphone. And you’ll be doing this in the same living room or across Xbox LIVE with your hard-rocking superstar pals.
