Aennon LED Motion Sensor Night Light Review

Up for review today I’ve got another motion sensor style light but this one is very different from the others I’ve looked at as it’s round like ball and it can be rotated all around to position the light anywhere you need it. The light is from Aennon and it doesn’t really have a special name, just motion sensor light and it works well. The light uses three AA batteries and they last a very long time.

All-round Deluxe PC - March 2016

The all-round Deluxe PC will last you a few years without requiring any upgrades. It is a bit more expensive, but is very complete as well. Using the internet, gaming, business applications, photo and video editing - all of these are possible on a good all-round PC, and you should never feel that you are lacking in performance for any of those activities.

This means a good processor and graphics card from the upper mid-range segment. Fast, yet affordable. You also need enough RAM and storage space, not to mention an attractive chassis and reliable power supply that can last several years. Of course you need a quality monitor, mouse and keyboard, as these are used very frequently.

Bitfenix Pandora ATX Case Review

The BitFenix Pandora enclosure is one of those interesting attempts to bring new excitement into the case category. The original mATX Pandora had some interesting design choices inside and out and now BitFenix has released the larger ATX version. The Pandora ATX comes in at $150 with the external display and $130 without, putting it in line with other full towers.

The case features curved side panels that wrap around the front, creating unmistakable brand recognition for the Pandora line. The gab between the metal panel and the front plastic panel allows for air to enter, due to large intake ports on both sides of the glossy surface. The original Pandora used aluminium, which proved difficult for BitFenix to get right. Instead they’ve gone back to steel, and our reviewer found that and some other decisions made for less satisfying build quality overall.

Corsair Hydro Series H5 SF AIO CPU Cooler Review

Picking the right cooler for your system can be tricky, but when it comes to sticking a high-performance CPU in a compact gaming system, your choices are often quite limited to a range of low-profile air coolers. Corsair is looking to solve this issue with the new Corsair H5 SF Hydro Series Low Profile Liquid CPU Cooler, an AIO unit that’s small enough to mount over the top of a mini-ITX motherboard! Unlike most AIO that must be mounted on a 120/140mm fan fitting, this cooler is a similar shape and size to a 5.25″ drive and comes with a special bracket that mounts it above the CPU like you would expect an air/tower cooler to install.

“The Hydro Series H5 SF is a low profile liquid CPU cooler that provides efficient cooling for small form factor Mini-ITX systems. Building a small form factor system shouldn’t have to mean compromising on processor speed, and with the H5 SF you can provide reliable cooling for your system’s high-performance CPU.” – Corsair

Far Cry Primal Graphics Card Performance Analysis

The Far Cry franchise gained notoriety for its impeccable graphical fidelity and enthralling open world environment. As a result, each release is incredibly useful to gauge the current state of graphics hardware and performance across various resolutions. Although, Ubisoft’s reputation has suffered in recent years due to poor optimization on major titles such as Assassin’s Creed: Unity and Watch Dogs. This means it’s essential to analyze the PC version in a technical manner and see if it’s really worth supporting with your hard-earned cash!

Far Cry Primal utilizes the Dunia Engine 2 which was deployed on Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4. Therefore, I’m not expecting anything revolutionary compared to the previous games. This isn’t necessarily a negative concept though because the amount of detail is staggering and worthy of recognition. Saying that, Far Cry 4 was plagued by intermittent hitching and I really hope this has been resolved. Unlike Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the latest entry has a retail price of $60. According to Ubisoft, this is warranted due to the lengthy campaign and amount on content on offer. Given Ubisoft’s turbulent history with recent releases, it will be fascinating to see how each GPU this generation fares and which brand the game favours at numerous resolutions.

Gigabyte Z170-Gaming K3 (LGA1151) Motherboard Review

Intel’s current iteration of enthusiast processors offering impressive overclocking headroom incurs a fairly hefty premium compared to the previous generation especially if you’re opting for the i7-6700K. Unfortunately, the retail version of this CPU sporting a 3 year warranty still teeters around the £300 mark, and falls into a similar budget to the 6-core 5820K. The real savings when selecting the Z170 chipset revolve around cheaper motherboards which usually cater towards the gaming demographic with LED illumination, unusual colour schemes and a comprehensive software suite. It’s astonishing to see the kind of performance and bundled list of features on products under £100. At this price, there’s fierce competition and some manufacturers have struggled to outline the value of H170/B150 alternatives due to the narrow difference to affordable Z170 options.

The latest motherboard from Gigabyte targets the mainstream audience utilizing a single discrete graphics card, and overclocked Skylake processor. While it does technically support Crossfire, the lack of x8/x8 functionality might be a deal breaker for users wanting the absolute maximum bandwidth. There’s also no support for SLI setups either which may be a contentious issue. To be honest, I don’t see this as a huge problem because the motherboard retails for approximately £95 and dual card configurations are fairly niche in today’s market. Despite the very low price, Gigabyte has still implemented 32Gb/s M.2 storage, a great audio solution and USB 3.1. From the outset, it seems Gigabyte managed to achieve this excellent specification on a budget by removing SLI support. I’m interested to see the stock performance numbers though compared to high-end solutions and determine the motherboard’s credentials. Could this be the best value gaming Z170 motherboard ever released? Let’s find out!

NETGEAR Nighthawk X4S R7800 AC2600 Wireless Router

The quad stream NETGEAR AC2600 Nighthawk X4S R7800 802.11AC wireless router is the successor to last year’s AC2350 Nighthawk X4 R7500 (and R7500v2). Besides a bump in “S”, for Smart, the Nighthawk X4S also jumps to the dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm IPQ8065, adds 200MHz of theoretical bandwidth to the 2.4GHz radio (800MHz + 1733MHz = AC2600) by increasing to 4x4 in both bands, and enables 160MHz channel width for 5GHz. Priced at $270/£230 SRP ($260/£213 street) the Nighthawk X4S R7800 looks to be a solid contender for the mid-range performance 802.11AC router market, and with Wave 2 features like MU-MIMO enabled out-of-the-box (OOTB) a fair degree of future proofing.

QNAP TS-451+ Review

It is clear what QNAP is aiming for with the TS-451+ from the moment you open up the device, as the unit comes with a multimedia remote as the standard accessory. QNAP actually has had the multimedia remote that users can purchase separately as an add-on accessory that works with their NAS units with an integrated IR receiver. However, it has never been included as a standard accessory, but rather an add-on that users have to purchase separately. Thus, it is clear that QNAP is targeting this particular model of the NAS as a media server and HTPC.

QPAD DX-20 Pro Gaming Optical Mouse Review

QPAD have a long history of making high-quality, high-performance gaming peripherals, and today looks set to be the perfect example of this with the release of their new QPAD Dx-20 Optical, a premium-grade gaming mouse designed for those who take their gaming seriously. Equipped with a gaming-grade optical sensor that promises “game-critical zero-mouse acceleration, precisely matching 1:1 movement.”

When it comes to eSports, or even just being a competitive gamer at home, having a sensor that you can trust is vital. If you twitch for a headshot or that important attack in your favourite game such as CS:GO or LoL, you want that confidence that the mouse is going to be as accurate as possible; if it misses, you’ll only have yourself to blame. With that in mind, I’m really hoping the Dx-20 lives up to the high standards required for competitive gaming.

SteelSeries Siberia 650 Gaming Headset Review

When it comes to audio quality audiophiles are miles apart compared to gamers since the first are always looking for accuracy, clarity and depth while the second are always after the best possible positioning audio (virtual or real surround) and bass levels so they can enjoy playing their favorite games and why not even get the edge against their multiplayer competition. Gamers also usually value comfort a little bit more compared to audiophiles since they are required to use a headset for many hours at a time so that too is a small difference between these two target groups. SteelSeries has been catering to the needs of gamers since the very first day in the market but lately they've taken things a step further with their latest product lines both in terms of quality and features. The Siberia 650 is currently their top of the line gaming headset and after almost 2 full weeks of testing we are ready to post our thorough review.

SteelSeries is a gaming brand that leads the market in building peripherals with quality, innovation and purpose. The company’s passion has been the driving force behind many first-to-market innovations and technologies that continue to become the industry standard and have-to-have requirements of gamers. The global brand continues to support the growth of competitive gaming tournaments and electronic sports leagues through professional team sponsorships, partnerships and community support. The company surrounds itself with the passion and the commitment to being the best. It is with this mentality that SteelSeries chooses to partner with some of world’s most respected and recognized brands that work together to push the growth and evolution of the gaming industry into an even greater proposition.

The Siberia 650 gaming headset is yet another update of the excellent Siberia Elite (which made its debut roughly 3 years ago) so once again SteelSeries has used two large 50mm neodymium drivers and a USB soundcard (luckily not build-in so you can use it if you want) to produce virtual Dolby 7.1 surround sound. These drivers feature a very wide frequency range/response of 16Hz-28KHz (just like the original Elite) with 120dB sensitivity (same as the Elite Prism) and 32Ohm impedance. We also find a retractable unidirectional microphone that features noise cancelling technology and a frequency response of 100Hz-10KHz with 2.2kOhm impedance and -44dB sensitivity (again different compared to the Elite but same as the Prism). After checking out the entire specs sheet it really seems like SteelSeries renamed the Prism to Siberia 650 and although that's not really a bad thing (after all the Prism is still considered to be among the top gaming headsets in the market) let's check it out.
