AMD Ryzen 9 3900X Vs Intel Core i9-9900K IPC Shootout

AMD's new Ryzen CPUs can clock as high as 4.5 GHz, a notable bump over previous models, but what about AMD's purported IPC gains?

Enermax Equilence Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Enermax is a chassis manufacturer which we have not seen in a while. Last time we saw an Enermax case pass through, it was one of the best they had sent, with the Steelwing chassis in 2017. Before that we had the Ostrog advanced in 2016 which unfortunately did not fare nearly as well. Now we have the Equilence which is a tower much like the Ostrog, and I think it's about time to see if Enermax has continued the trend of improvement with this chassis.

The FSP Hydro G Pro 850 has excellent build quality, loads of connectors and compact dimensions. Is all that enough though to justify the $139 MSRP?

ID-Cooling DASHFLOW 360 CPU Cooler Review

In our last ID-Cooling AIO review, we mentioned that there were two main ways to go about cooling a CPU. While that rings true, there is a subsection of AIOs in which the design is to have an open-loop system versus a closed or sealed loop.

For those who are not in the know, what this means in the most basic terms, is that some AIOs are made with removable parts so that one can swap in other liquid cooling elements such as a reservoir, GPU block, or any other block available for the various PC components. Typically, we tend to see this from manufacturers that usually offer all of the custom parts already, but in the same vein, there have been companies that did not offer individual components, offering up coolers like this, like ID-Cooling is now trying for the first time that we can recall. In previous examples of open-loop AIO kits, we have seen various fittings used, some with aluminum radiators, some with copper, and many with added bits like fan hubs, but with all of the previous submissions, the cooler stood out on its own as a product you felt could handle the task with more blocks added into the loop.

Patriot Viper Steel DDR4 3866 MHz Memory Review

There are several companies people think of when it comes to good memory. G. Skill and Corsair just to name a few. However, in my humble opinion, one company that too often gets overlooked is Patriot. This is something that even I was guilty of at one point. However, over the last year or so, I’ve had the privilege …
