Corsair ML Pro Series Review

Corsair has finally released their ML series of PWM fans, in 120mm and 140mm. What makes these fans different is their bearings. They use magnetic levitation. In theory, these fans should never wear out. Both sizes have square frames, so they will fit handily on radiators. You can also use them as replacement fans for all in one coolers. Here we shall review Corsair’s new ML Pro series.

Corsair began its life as a seller of memory, more than 20 years ago – and what were you doing in 1994? Unlike so many companies that have changed their names, Corsair packages still come from Corsair Memory. Today, of course, Corsair is now well known for its quality cases, power supplies, coolers, peripherals, SSDs, memory – and oh yes, fans.

EVGA DG-87 Review

The PC industry is taking natural steps toward smaller, more efficient hardware, but the transition isn't necessarily good news if you're an enthusiast who laughs in the face of TDPs. If it's all-out performance you're after, you may be a tad disappointed to find that mammoth parts are becoming increasingly rare. Three-slot graphics cards longer than your forearm? CPU coolers the size of a car radiator? Chassis that can house as much power as a Death Star? Such things are these days harder to find, however there are some firms who continue to champion extreme gear.

EVGA is a name synonymous with enthusiast hardware and having established itself as a purveyor of high-end graphics cards, motherboards and power supplies, the manufacturer has recently spread its wings with the introduction of gaming-focussed laptops, peripherals and chassis. Turning its attention to the latter segment, EVGA is now gearing up to launch four full-tower solutions under the DG-8 umbrella.

Nvidia Titan X Pascal 12GB Review

Another month, another Pascal-based GPU. This one is bigger and badder than GeForce GTX 1080's GP104, but based on the same DNA. No doubt, a $1200 price tag will limit its adoption to only the wealthiest enthusiasts.

NVIDIA TITAN X Review: The Pascal Beast Unleashed

NVIDIA dropped a bomb a couple of weeks back and shocked almost everyone in the enthusiast community with the surprise announcement of the new, Pascal-based TITAN X. If you missed our original coverage, the story went something like this: NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang lost a bet, and out of the blue went and gave away a few TITAN X cards at a special AI event that was taking place at Stanford University. That may sound a little far-fetched, but the way this launch shook out, it seems somewhat plausible.

Regardless, as soon as the announcement was posted, we’re sure many of you had two questions in mind – how fast is it? And what’s the deal with the GP102? Thankfully, we can answer both of those questions and more for you today...

The NVIDIA TITAN X 12GB Performance Review

The Pascal-based TITAN X has finally arrived, a lot sooner than many may have expected but nonetheless ready to lead NVIDIA’s current lineup into the future. The way this card was launched via an off-the cuff announcement is unique, its specifications may leave you slack-jawed (as will the price!) and, based upon the GPU market’s current direction, the new TITAN X could very well reign supreme for a very long time indeed.

As with previous TITAN cards, this version of the TITAN X is meant to combine professional-oriented features with gaming performance that is sure to appeal to the top 1% of gamers. The professional side of that equation lies with the folks who are focusing on Deep Learning wherein the potential of a staggering 44 teraflops of 8-bit integer throughput will be money in the bank. Before the new TITAN X, they would have had to spend upwards $6000 or more on a Tesla P100 to get remotely close to that performance.

Gamers will likely lambaste the Pascal-based TITAN X’s $1200 price but it’s tough to complain when there’s obviously a market for these types of ultra high end products. Many will likely make their way into the hands of facilities focused on the aforementioned deep learning but plenty of others will be found in systems from the likes of Maingear, Falcon Northwest and other builders. As a matter of fact, many may prefer to go this route over two GTX 1080’s in SLI since they won’t have to worry about missing profiles or day-one support issues; the raw performance of TITAN X will help them power through nearly every scenario.

Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition Review

It’s August in New England while I am writing this and so you know that this means unpredictable heat and usually evening thunderstorms. It also means that our fans and air conditioning continue to be at the ready to cool the house down. For techies this also means offsetting the heat that our computer systems put off in addition to the summer weather. It could also mean trying to keep them cool enough that they don’t crash from overheating. This can be especially challenging if you are dealing with a compact computer that doesn’t get a much airflow as a larger tower style computer. So what do you do in these situations?
