Dozens of GIGABYTE Intel 400-series Chipset Motherboards Show Up at the EEC
Intel is inching closer to the launch of its socket LGA1200 mainstream desktop platform based on its 400-series chipset and 14 nm "Comet Lake-S" silicon. The platform provides a forward upgrade path to the company's 10 nm "Ice Lake-S" processors when they come out. "Comet Lake-S" is a derivative of the "Skylake" microarchitecture that's been scaled up to 10 CPU cores, and HyperThreading enabled across the board, with clock speeds pushed to the limits of the 14 nm silicon fabrication process. The TDP of some of these parts is reportedly set as high as 125 W. GIGABYTE is ready with dozens of motherboards for these processors, based on one of five chipsets - Z490, H470, Q470, B460, and H410.Read full article @ techPowerUp
The Intel Z490 Express will be the top-end chipset geared toward gamers and enthusiasts wanting to overclock their processors. The H470 will be a slight step down, and possibly lack multi-GPU and CPU overclocking support. The Q470 is its twin with certain enterprise-relevant features. The B460 is the mid-range chipset, targeting a spectrum of users including gamers who don't overclock their CPU. The H410 will be the entry-level chipset for everyone else. What's interesting about GIGABYTE's list of motherboards filed for regulatory clearance from the Eurasian Economic Commission, is that is looks partial. There are far too few AORUS-branded products.
MSI RX 5700 XT GAMING X Review
In the spotlight today is the RX 5700 GAMING X - MSI's flagship 5700 XT, ascending straight to the top of the pack in their AMD GPU lineup. This new graphics card not only features the Twin Frozr 7 cooler and a factory overclock but it also showcases a fresh new look too.Read full article @ Vortez
Phanteks Eclipse P360X Review

PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 Review
The stock AMD Radeon RX 5700 graphics card is pretty impressive (review). However, PowerColor is pretty confident they can make big improvements. Their new Red Dragon Radeon RX 5700 is one of their sleekest looking cards in a while. It features their stunning new cooler design, improved power delivery, and promises bigger performance right out of the box.Read full article @ eTeknix
The new PowerColor card runs at 1720 MHz in game mode, and up to 1750 MHz in Boost mode. A nice step up from the 1565 MHz base clock! To unleash this extra power, it comes equipped with “Platinum Power Kit – DrMos” hardware. That means digital power control, improved capacitors, and more. To cool all of it, a bank of 5 x 6mm copper heatpipes over a massive aluminium heatsink. This is topped with their powerful 100mm fans for big airflow. The cooler is so efficient, it doesn’t even need to spin the fans until the card his 60c.
Siege of Centauri Review
Games that first launch through some kind of early access program are a bit of a conundrum for me, when it comes to reviewing them. A game can change quite significantly between that first version and its release state, so opinions and impressions may lose validity. When Siege of Centauri entered Steam Early Access and I was provided a key by Stardock, I thought of an approach that might help me navigate the issue and that was to use it for the Saturday streams I do. That way I not only am somewhat regularly playing the game and experiencing the changes it receives, but also capturing my impressions of the game (when I am not trying to cover some of the news of the week). If nothing else, it seemed like a good idea and now the time has come to review Siege of Centauri in its release state.Read full article @ OCC
SilverStone Lucid LD03 Computer Case Review
