AMD Radeon Vega BIOS flashing report

AMD Radeon Vega BIOS flashing Yesterday my RX Vega 64 arrived. I promised that the first thing I'm going to do is BIOS flashing. I've tested few possible combinations to see where we can go from there. The Radeon RX Vega 64 has two BIOSes. They don't have names, so I'm going to call them A and B. The A is the primary BIOS of the card. It has higher power limits. The B BIOS cannot be modified (at least not on my card). It means that it cannot be erased. Generally, that's a good thing, it's simply impossible to corrupt...

Lenovo Legion Y720 review: A gaming laptop with a lot of power for a solid price

Back at CES, Lenovo announced its new brand of gaming laptops: Legion, starting with the Y520 and Y720. The latter is the more powerful of the two, coming with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 16GB RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB GDDR5.

Weighing in at 7.05 pounds, it's a pretty beastly machine. I was sent the one with a 15.6-inch 1080p anti-glare display, but you can get one with a glossy 4K screen as well.

There's no built-in Windows Hello support or a touchscreen, but it contains more gaming-centric features, like an integrated Xbox Wireless Adapter.

Mice infestation: 37 gaming mice review

Gaming mice have always been a thing, but a real explosion in the available amount has happened in the last years. There is an unprecedentedly large offer and for this article we test no less than 37 mice of 15 different manufacturers, in the more luxurious price classes.

What is the difference between a regular mouse and a gaming mouse? Noticeable features are buttons to change the dpi-setting, which allows you to change the sensitivity of the sensor as it were. These are on nearly every gaming mouse. However, it is often that sensor itself that is the difference when compared with regular mice. With gaming models there is usually a lot more thought put into them than with regular models.

Riotoro Onyx 650W PSU Review

Riotoro's Onyx 650W is a budget-oriented PSU. It's based on an advanced platform that isn't very efficient, but it's packed with solid performance per dollar.

Riotoro is a new company trying to enter the tough PSU market where big brands dominate. We already reviewed Riotoro's Enigma 850 and determined that it's essentially a clone of Corsair's CS850M, since both units are based on the same Great Wall platform. However, this company has a second family in its portfolio; the mainstream Onyx line-up consists of two members with 650W and 750W capacities. The lower-level Onyx power supplies also employ a Great Wall platform. It isn't as efficient, but it does cost less.
Today we're reviewing the 650W Onyx model, pitting it against popular competitors in this category like Corsair's CX650M. Since we don't have many direct comparisons in our database, we're also including several mid-range and high-end products in order to illustrate the differences between mainstream PSUs and pricier alternatives.

Rosewill ORBIT-Z1

The Rosewill Orbit-Z1 is jam-packed with buzz words: RGB, LED fans, fan controller, LED strips, lighting modes, AIO support, etc. These are terms that you usually only see with more expensive offerings, but the Orbit-Z1 comes at a mere $65, yet offers complete functionality in a mid-tower case.

Shuttle XPC nano NC03U Barebone Review

When placing the NC02U and NC03U head-to-head, we can find a similar looking chassis on the outside, but what is on the inside matters: we are now dealing with the latest Kaby Lake-U 7th generation of Intel CPUs with an updated iGPU, DDR4 RAM support for improved performance, while the power ratings do remain the same. The unit does only weight 0.4 kg and can be mounted in three different ways (horizontally, vertically via the supplied stands but also in the back of the display thanks to the VESA mount) and we do get software support for Windows 10 64-bit platforms but also Linux 64-bit.

Speedlink Fortus Wireless Gaming Mouse Review

Hello again, my gaming desktop has a loose rodent for the first time ever, untethered and unbungied I embark on a wireless mouse adventure.

I have done a few reviews for Speedlink peripherals recently, they have been going for decades, I even used to buy Speedlink Joysticks for my 8 and 16-bit computers. So with a lengthy computing heritage, Speedlink continue to distribute quality budget and mid-range products.

This time Speedlink have sent me a wireless mouse offering in the form of the Fortus, sold as a gaming wireless mouse, it will have to live up to some strenuous use while managing accuracy and decent battery life as gaming sessions demand endurance.
