Caselabs Bullet BH7

Over the past four years, I have been running my main rig in the Magnum TH10 monster of a case. In that time I have abused the case almost every day and it has held up to that abuse without a ding, dent, or chip in the finish. So when I saw that Caselabs had introduced a new case and it was available in a bright orange I couldn’t get in touch with Caselabs fast enough. The new Bullet line of cases are much smaller and incorporate a lot of new features from what Caselabs have learned in the last few years including a dual chamber design. Given that I’ve never actually built an orange themed build and I’ve always wanted to, I set out to build a monster PC in the Bullet BH7. You can expect a project build in the future, but for now, I did want to sit down and dive into the Caselabs Bullet BH7 and tell everyone what it's all about and if they should pick one up for their next build.

Crucial Ballistix Tactical DDR4-3000 32GB Memory Kit Review

Crucial's Ballistix memory is known by gamers and enthusiasts and has been around for what seems like forever.  When it comes to DDR4 Crucial has three different Ballistix lines, Ballistix Elite, Ballistix Tactical, and Ballistix Sport.  We've already taken a look at Ballistix Elite and Ballistix Sport DDR4 kits so that leaves us with the Ballistix Tactical kit which we are taking a look at today.  Ballistix Tactical sits in between the Elite and Sport kits in Crucial's product stack.  The kit we are taking a look at today is the BLT4K8G4D30AETA kit, which is a 32GB (4x8GB) kit that runs at 3000 MHz with timings of 15-16-16-35 at 1.35V.  These kits has a nice lower profile heatspreader as well so CPU clearance should not be an issue.  Let's get this kit in our test system and see what it can do!

Cybertron CLX Ra System Review: A Luxury Dual GTX 1080 Killer Gaming Rig

The CLX Ra is Cybertron's biggest and baddest (in a good way) Egyptian-themed, CLX full tower gaming system. Named after the Egyptian sun god, the Ra starts out at $1,400 for a modest configuration, though mortals with a heftier budget can summon exponentially more power. The configuration Cybertron sent us is a top-shelf build that showcases what the company can do when tossing just north of $5,500 at a setup, and it's impressive.

Check any notion of bang-for-buck before reading further, that isn't what this system is about. This is an exercise in excess for those who are in a position to splurge, and not just on a powerful PC but a showpiece system...

Futuremark to add further DX12 and Vulkan benchmarks

The new 3DMark benchmark suite components will be launched at CES 2017. Synthetic benchmark specialist Futuremark is reportedly preparing some new components for its 3DMark benchmark suite. 'The Gamer's Benchmark' will be expanded with a couple of worthy additions, reports TechPowerUp. First of all there's going to be the significant new addition of a Vulkan-based benchmark, secondly there will be a new less-taxing DX12 benchmark.

Top 3 Cases of 2016

Number one. The top dog. The big enchilada. That is what the Silent Base 600 from be quiet! is. So what pushed this case to the top? Well, first let me say that be quiet! is fairly new to the case category, so I was a little skeptical at first. Coolers, fans, and power supplies - be quiet! has those all figured out. Some of the best you can buy. But cases? How well can the expertise in coolers, fans, and power supplies transfer over to cases? Turns out the answer is amazingly well. From a quality perspective, I was most impressed by the fit and finish of the case. Top notch all the way. And the focus of the design is to be quiet - and that is what this case is all about. The dual-layer side window is something I have never seen before. It really keeps the sound down, along with the extra sound-deadening material in the front and side panels. And they go a step further and decouple the hard drives, fans, power supply, and motherboard tray to reduce the chance of vibrations and sounds from making it out of the case. Throw in the side vent that allows the addition of a fan to move air behind the motherboard, and you have a winner. The accent trim is also available in several different colors.
