KitGuru: ASRock DeskMini H470W Review – 100C VRMs
Anyone looking for a barebones system to build a highly integrated Windows 10 PC may find themselves considering the ASRock DeskMini H470W. For just over £200 you get a tiny STX chassis and motherboard along with an external power supply of the type used with a laptop. You need to supply a 10th Gen Intel CPU, DDR4 SODIMMs and an SSD and could have your PC up and running for somewhere around £500.

KitGuru: EPOS Sennheiser GSP 602 + GSX 300 Review
Today we are reviewing not one, but two audio peripherals. First up is the EPOS | SENNHEISER GSP 602 headset, based on the highly successful Game Zero headset, which has an RRP of £199. We also look at the GSX 300 soundcard which is priced at £69. The GSP 602 is a wired-only headset that uses a 3.5mm jack, so it is “plug & play” with most devices, whereas the GSX 300 soundcard uses USB and only works with PC due to software requirements. Let’s see how they hold up against our testing.

KitGuru: SAPPHIRE Toxic RX 6900 XT Limited Edition Review
It’s been some years since we last looked at a graphics card from Sapphire’s Toxic brand, but that changes today. Toxic is back, and it’s back with a bang, as we review the RX 6900 XT Toxic Limited Edition, featuring a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler. Sapphire claims this is the fastest RX 6900 XT on the market, with a rated boost clock of 2660MHz when using the card’s ‘Toxic Boost’ mode. Let’s see if that claim holds true.

APH Networks: Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold 850W Report
If there is one single player game that stands out to me among the rest, it is Ori and the Blind Forest. I briefly talked about this game in a previous review, but this game was released back in 2015. It is a platformer game that can also be categorized as a Metroidvania game due to the gameplay mechanics. The first thing that really stood out to me was the game's artwork. It is not really one particular aspect of it, but rather the whole feel that it gives. It contrasted the despair of the environment with the hope and vibrancy of life in Ori. The second thing that stands out in this game is the music, which fits well with the design. Finally, I enjoyed the gameplay and its mechanics. It is a good mix of action and puzzling. I recently purchased the sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and I have been really enjoying it for all the same reasons. As you can see from here, it takes more than one aspect that makes a great game and the same can be said for a lot of the products we take a look at. For example, power supplies may offer a surprising aspect such as RGB lighting, be completely fanless, or is fully sealed. However, these single point aspects alone cannot make a unit shine, and we must take into account other qualities like cables, internal components, warranty coverage, and its performance. Today, we have the Cooler Master V850 SFX Gold 850W, a power supply that brings a high-power option to the small form factor market, making it one of the most power dense power supplies we have reviewed. Beyond its size, how does the V850 SFX Gold fare with all of the important aspects accounted for? Let us read on to find out!
