TechPowerUp: Montech Sky One ARGB Review - A Functional, Fine Mesh Option
The Montech Sky One ARGB sports a fine metal mesh cover with 1 mm holes, which is something we have not seen from many other brands out there. On top of that, with its ARGB elements and built-in controller, the Sky One ARGB could make for an interesting alternative to the more established brands out there.

eTeknix: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X & Ryzen 9 5950X Review
This week saw the launch of four new high-end CPUs from AMD, and we’ve already tested the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the Ryzen 9 5900X in our review a few days ago. They blew us away with their incredible performance, as AMD delivered on all of their promises. Not only that, but they gave Intel a beating that will take some time to heal, especially when it came to AMD’s new and improved single-core performance. Check out the review here.

Overclockersclub: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080 OC Guide
Do you have a shiny new graphics card and want to get the most out of it? The release of the 3000 series comes to some improvements in the GPU architecture, all the while NVIDIA has made great strides to improve the end-user experience.

ThinkComputers: Team Group EX2 Elite Solid State Drive Review
So, when Team Group asked us to take a look at their 512 GB EX2 Elite SSD, we of course agreed. With how cheap NAND has become, it's entirely possible to replace all of your mechanical storage with solid-state drives. Given if you want high capacity drives for pictures and documents, a standard spinning hard drive is still the cheapest option.
