ADATA XPG Spectrix D80 DDR4-3600 32GB Memory Kit Review

A while back ADATA sent us a kit of memory, and to clear the air, before we continue, there is a bit of a backstory you must understand. After receiving the kit, going through all the steps to bring forth the review, an email was sent to us, asking that we not go forward with our findings yet. The basis of this request had to do with marketing, where some at ADATA wanted to ensure that the market was fully aware of what is going on here. That notion is that while there is a tube of 3M Novec 7500 fluid at the top of the memory heat spreaders, that in fact, it does nothing actually to cool the kit, but was done more for aesthetic reasons.

ADATA XPG Storm M.2 Cooler Review

When it comes to M.2 solid state drives there are some out there that will run hot and possibly throttle. That means that the controller gets too hot and the performance degrades to keep temperatures in check. This could mean that a drive that is say rated for 1000 MB/s writes might only perform to half that capacity. This means transfers will talk longer and no one wants to wait around. Well ADATA has a nifty solution in their XPG Storm M.2 cooler, which is a M.2 heatsink with an integrated fan as well as RGB lighting. Let’s slap this thing on our M.2 drive and see if it can stop it from throttling!

CORSAIR Force Series MP300 480GB M.2 SSD Review

The MP300 SSD from Corsair does offer good mainstream performance, with test results hovering around the rated speeds. By using Toshiba’s BiCS 3D TLC NAND ICs, the MP300 is no speed demon, but it is a very good replacement for the aging SATA3 standard.

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Black 8 GB Review

EVGA's GeForce RTX 2070 Black is sold for just $499, a price point at which it has better price/performance than GTX 1080, GTX 1080 Ti, Vega 56 and Vega 64. Compared to the more expensive RTX 2070 Founders Edition the performance difference is almost negligible, too.

Intel Core i7-9700K Review

Intel's Core i7-9700K comes with eight cores, but lacks HyperThreading. In our testing it still conclusively beats the 6-core/12-thread Core i7-8700K. The much more expensive Core i9-9900K is also under heavy attack: it seems that Core i7-9700K actually is the better gaming CPU.

Lenovo Yoga C930 Review

There was a time when choosing a thin and light 2-in-1 notebook meant making compromises and deciding which features you could live without.

Lenovo always sought to innovate with its Yoga 2-in-1 form factor and continues to do so today with the beautiful Yoga C930 we'll be showing you here...

MSI RTX 2070 Armor 8G Review

It's the first aftermarket RTX card we've seen priced at Nvidia's MSRP. But is it any good? For our launch day coverage of the RTX 2070, we assessed the factory overclocked Gaming Z model from MSI. It proved to be a very competent card, but priced at over £600 it faces stiff competition from the GTX 1080 Ti. The MSI RTX 2070 Armor 8G we are looking at today, however, costs £459 – making it MSI’s entry level RTX 2070 card. That means it doesn’t have much in the way of features, but if you are just interested in bang-for-buck, could this be the card to get?
