10 Tech Predictions for 2016

Looking ahead to 2016, I expect we will see changes that, on the surface, also don't seem to amount to much initially, but will actually prove to be key foundational shifts that drive a very different, and very exciting future.

AMD Powered Star Wars Battlefront Radeon 380X-Powered Gaming PC Build

AMD boasts that its Radeon R9 380X, when paired to a similarly mainstream FX-8370 processor, can run Star Wars Battlefront at 1080P, with Ultra-Level details, at 60 frames per second. Pair the setup with a fast FreeSync-compatible display, and should the action dip somewhat below 60 FPS, or peak above that mark, the experience should remain smooth and stutter or tear free.

Interestingly enough, AMD asked us to put its claims to the test, and since we love to build custom PCs more than just about anything else, we decided to have some fun and took them up on the offer.

ASRock Z170 Extreme4 Motherboard Review

The availability of multiplier-locked Skylake chips has sparked an even greater emphasis on the need for low-cost motherboards to partner with such processors. ASRock’s affordable Z170 Extreme4 utilises the Z170 chipset’s host of worthwhile features but minimises add-on components in order to maintain aggressive pricing. Aside from the Z170 chipset’s rich set of native offerings, a feature that ASRock is coining – ‘Sky OC’ gives users the ability to overclock their multiplier-locked Skylake CPU by simply tweaking the BCLK.

Corsair 600Q Review

Over a number of years Corsair have released a number of high quality cases.

Mad Catz L.Y.N.X. 9 Mobile Hybrid Controller Review

L.Y.N.X. 9 controller from Mad Catz is a highly-elaborated product, which is meant for a large range of devices and we also do get the needed accessories inside the box, without the need of spending extra money. The only missing item would be the Bluetooth LE dongle which could be necessary with some PC setups that do not have one available but these can be found in specialized stores for very little money. Besides the smartphone clip, the tablet stand, the keyboard module, the travel pouch, USB/HDMI cables, inner handles we are also offered a MHL adapter for gaming on our TV with minimal lag.

SteelSeries Nimbus Wireless Gamepad Controller Review

The latest Apple TV emphasizes gaming as one of its core features allowing Apple to venture into the console world of gaming by making iOS games designed for larger screens.

SteelSeries is a company known for their gaming peripherals, so building an iOS gaming controller seems like a logical progression especially with this latest Apple TV release.

While playing games on an iPhone and iPad using touch controls is usually acceptable, the ability to use a gamepad controller is preferred especially when gaming on a larger screen HDTV or monitor.

Thermaltake Core X71 Case Review

Thermaltake’s Core series has been a huge success for Thermaltake since launching last year at CES. The whole motto of the Core X series is “Your Build. Our Core” which means that each of the cases in the Core X Series can be designed to fit your specific needs. The brand new Core X71 definitely fits that description as it has a internal modular design and it is one of the largest Thermaltake Cases that we’ve ever reviewed! Being a full tower it has room inside for multiple long graphics cards, two power supplies, over 5 hard drives, and lots, I mean lots of room for cooling! As far as water cooling support you have room for a 480 mm and two 360 mm radiators installed at the same time. This case also has room for a total of 11 140 mm fans too! As you can imagine you can put together a pretty extreme system with this case so let’s take a look!

Thermaltake Core X71 Full-Tower Chassis Review

The Core X71 is a massive full-tower chassis, featuring two chambers for advanced cable management and/or various liquid or air cooling opportunities. Inside this case you will find no shortage of cooling potential, so right off the bat I think this case may be a hit amongst enthusiasts. We will have to find out how well these features look like they will work, along with how well the case is built.

Should you like what you see in this review, you will be able to have your very own Core X71 for $149.99 (MSRP) with availability being very soon, if not immediately. We will update this article should we find it for sale at an online retailer, such as Amazon. Like all other Thermaltake PC Case products, you will find a 3-year warranty included.

You will only find the Core X71 in a matte black finish, with a large window on the left side, which is pretty common today. Inside is a fully-modular design, allowing you almost limitless potential with how you want to configure your system. Included with the case are two 140mm Riing LED Blue intake fans and one 140mm Turbo exhaust fan. This case has easily removable filters darn near everywhere, so as long as you maintain your filters, you should have a fairly dust-free interior.
