TechPowerUp: SilverStone FARA R1 Pro Review

The R1 series of the SilverStone FARA line is the airflow option with two color choices, each with basic as well as ARGB fan-equipped PRO options. With the glass side panel and compact frame, it checks off all the boxes for a mainstream case on paper. Let's see how it fares under the review lights.

Windows Central: XPS 13 (9310) with OLED is a gorgeous combo with one big tradeoff

The XPS 13 (9310) is arguably the best 13-inch Windows Ultrabook on the market. For 2021, the company is giving the tiny but powerful laptop an update offering a few new options. We spent time with the faster Core i7-1185G7 processor (up from the i7-1165G7) as well as the new UHD+ OLED display to see if it’s worth it.

Anandtech: AMD Threadripper Pro Review: An Upgrade Over Regular Threadripper?

Since the launch of AMD’s Threadripper Pro platform, the desire to see what eight channels of memory brings to compute over the regular quad-channel Threadripper has been an intriguing prospect. Threadripper Pro is effectively a faster version of AMD’s EPYC, limited for single CPU workstation use, but also heralds a full 280 W TDP to match the frequencies of the standard Threadripper line. There is a 37% price premium from Threadripper to Threadripper Pro, which allows for ECC memory support, double the PCIe lanes, and double the memory bandwidth. In this review, we’re comparing every member of both platforms that is commercially available.

eTeknix: Marvo Pro KG965G Gaming Keyboard Review

Marvo is quickly growing to be one of my favourite brands. Not only do they continue to impress with the performance of their products, but its more their prices that really open my eyes. Ive tested keyboards from them that are £9-12 each, their more premium ones that were still only £30.
