TechPowerUp: SilentiumPC Fera 5 & Fera 5 Dual Fan Review
SilentiumPC comes out of nowhere to deliver a 1-2 combo of performance and value with the Fera 5 and Fera 5 Dual Fan CPU coolers. While simple and traditional in terms of design, both of these entry-level heatsinks trade blows with far more popular offerings.

MMORPG.com: The RPG Files: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Review

The isometric RPG was a huge hit even before it launched, with over 18,000 backers pledging almost one million dollars on the Kickstarter project. With their standalone follow-up, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, Owlcat Games isn't taking the easy path by continuing the original story of Kingmaker.So how does it stack up?

MMORPG.com: 1More ColorBuds 2 Review
A few years ago, finding a pair of true wireless earbuds under $100 was unheard of. With the ColorBuds 2, 1More is not only coming in well under that $100 threshold, but they are doing it with style. The only real question to ask is, does this refresh of last year's ColorBuds keep up with the Joneses in the ever-growing value-priced earbud market?

Anandtech: The ASRock X570S PG Riptide Motherboard Review: A Wave of PCIe 4.0 Support on A Budget
Officially announced at Computex 2021, AMD and its vendors unveiled a new series of AM4 based motherboards for Ryzen 5000 processors. The new X570S chipset is, really, not that different from the previous version launched back in 2019 from a technical standpoint. The main user difference is that all of the X570S models now feature a passively cooled chipset. Some vendors have opted to either refresh existing models, or others are releasing completely new variants, such as the ASRock X570S PG Riptide we are reviewing today. Aimed at the entry-level extreme chipset, the X570S PG Riptide features a Killer-based 2.5 GbE controller, dual PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, and support for up to 128 GB of DDR4-5000.
