KitGuru: Alphacool Apex Pro Skeleton Carbon Case Featured Build
Today's video is a featured build inside a very special case.

KitGuru: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Review
When KitGuru reviewed AMD’s Zen 5 Ryzen 7 9700X we advised that you wait until they launched the inevitable 3D version of the CPU, as we were sure it would be a banger. What we didn’t know then was that AMD had a new version of 3D V-Cache in the works that would move the dial significantly. Locating the 3D V-Cache under the CPU cores, instead of laying it on top, gives a boost to clock speeds and also helps temperatures.

KitGuru: Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WiFi7 Review
PC Enthusiasts love more affordable motherboards that support the latest AMD CPUs, but the obvious snag is that moving down the product stack usually means you miss out on features. With the Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WiFi7 we have a solid VRM, support for three Gen 5 M.2 SSDs (and a Gen 4), a decent array of USB ports including 2x USB4, WiFi7 and a price under £300.

These units also boast new fan controls which allow the end user to tweak fan speeds under lighter loads. This unit is fully modular and incorporates all Japanese capacitors alongside low-noise dynamic bearing fans. Corsair backs the range with a full 10 year warranty.
