ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Gaming A8G Review

Today we are taking a look at the slightly more conservatively clocked ‘A8G’ ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080. With an out-of-the-box boost clock of up to 1809MHz (1835MHz if you enable the OC mode in ASUS’ software), the A8G STRIX is around 90MHz slower than the STRIX OC O8G model. But for the A8G’s reduced clock speed you get a purchase cost saving pushing towards £100 and considerably wider availability from retailers.

Gigabyte Brix S (GB-BKi5HA-7200) Review

The tiny barebone PC gets an Intel Kaby Lake refresh. With so many PC users being content with their existing CPU, it's no surprise that many of you didn't even blink when Intel launched its seventh-generation Core processors back in August. Codenamed Kaby Lake and introduced on a process that Intel describes as 14nm+, the new range can be deemed a minor upgrade touting higher clock speeds, better efficiency and a new media engine primed for 4K content.

Desktop Kaby Lake CPUs aren't expected until early 2017, but with mobile solutions out in the wild, opportunity beckons and Gigabyte is eager to put the new Core i5-7200U to work in an ultra-small Brix S mini PC priced at £400.

Intel SSD 600p Series 512GB NVMe SSD Review

If you are looking for a low cost M.2 NVMe drive for your desktop PC or laptop you are looking at the right review. Intel recently released the SSD 600P Series drives that use the M.2 2280 PCIe 3 x4 (single-sided) interface and is one of the very first NVMe drives to feature 3D TLC NAND Flash memory. Intel went with the Silicon Motion SM2260 controller on this particular series and pair it with Intel 384Gb 32-layer 3D TLC NAND Flash memory. The result was an affordable client storage drive series that Intel hopes will lure some people away from the high-end SATA III SSD market and over to PCIe M.2 segment. With pricing starting at just $55.99 for a 128GB drive and topping out at $289.99 for the 1TB drive, the Intel SSD 600p series might do just that...
