AMD Threadripper 1950X Linux Benchmarks

Last week I was able to finally get my hands on a Threadripper 1950X system thanks to AMD for being able to deliver some Linux tests from this high-end desktop platform. The Threadripper 1950X as a reminder is a 16-core processor with 32 threads via SMT, 3.4GHz base frequency, 4.0GHz boost frequency, quad-channel DDR4 support, and support for 64 PCI-E lanes. Threadripper sits between the Ryzen 7 desktop processors and the AMD EPYC server/workstation processors, which are still soon to be tested at Phoronix. The Ryzen Threadripper 1950X will set you back $999 USD, but compared to the Core i9 7900X at the same price, has six more cores / 12 threads and a slightly higher base clock frequency of 3.4GHz vs. 3.3GHz but a lower boost frequency of 4.0GHz vs. 4.3GHz.

AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G Graphics Card Review

Back in March at GDC NVIDIA announced their GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. This card is packed with 3584 CUDA cores and 11GB of GDDR5X memory. Since then Gigabyte has released three AORUS GTX 1080 Ti models. The card we are taking a look at today sits in the middle of the three in terms of pricing, but actually has the same clocks as the top-end Waterforce WB Xtreme Edition 11G version. The card we are taking a look at today is the AORUS GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11G. It is default configuration the card features a base clock of 1607 MHz and GPU boost up to 1721 MHz with the memory at 11232 MHz. There is even an OC Mode that you can enable with the AORUS software which enables a base clock of 1632 MHz, GPU boost of 1746 MHz, and 11448 MHz memory! This card also features a pretty awesome cooling solution and RGB lighting on three different parts of the card. Is this the ultimate GeForce GTX 1080 Ti card? Read on as we find out!

Crucial BX300 480GB SSD Review

Crucial today unleashes their new BX300 SSD series SSDs, which we review. These units are all about value for money.

Crucial BX300 Review

The Crucial BX300 is available in capacities of 120GB, 240GB and 480GB - we've been supplied with the 480GB for testing. Typically, the SATA interface, regardless of the relatively poor performance when compared to PCI-E solutions, is more than enough for a typical user, offering up to 550MB/s transfer speeds; PCI-E SSDs are also more expensive, which adds to the appeal of a SATA SSD.

Grado GH2 Heritage Limited Edition Headphones Review

Today’s Grado GH2 Heritage are a limited edition headphone, and they join an exclusive list of Grado limited run production headphones such as the ‘John Mayer’ and ‘Billy Joel’ headphones, made in very limited edition runs. These headphones won’t be around for long, but for now – you can get them online for around the £650 mark. Once they are gone, its unlikely you will ever see them being sold on ebay – but you might be able to snag a pair from the Headfi buy and sell forums – sometimes you can see a collector selling HP limited edition headphones here, but not often.

Raijintek Thetis

The Raijintek Thetis is a larger version of the Metis, allowing you to use a full-size ATX board, PSU, a fairly long GPU, and even a 240 mm radiator. While all that may not sound interesting on paper, considering the compact size of the Thetis, we are eager to take a look.

The Crucial BX300 (480GB) SSD Review: Back To MLC

The Crucial MX300 has done well over the past year covering a wide segment of the consumer SSD market for Micron, with entry-level pricing but mainstream performance. Micron is now introducing a second consumer SSD with 3D NAND, and bringing MLC back to the BX series. The resulting BX300 is not much cheaper than the MX300, but is well positioned to be the best-performing and most cost effective choice for a small SSD.

TP-Link Talon AD7200 review: extremely fast 802.11ad-router

Router manufacturers have been looking for ways to make a new product stand out in the last years. With 802.11ad there is a new IEEE-standard that can be added to routers. TP-Link is the first manufacturer to do this. In this review we take a closer look at the Talon AD7200.

Aesthetically the Talon AD7200 is a lot like the Archer C3200 and the Archer C5400. It has the same (in our opinion) good looking square design, with antennae that fall into the device but of course are upright when it is used. As with the C5400 there are no less than eight antennae. The connectors are all at the back: four times lan, one time wan and two times usb 3.0. At the front we see three buttons: a wps-button, a button that allows you to turn the leds on and off and a button to turn wifi on and off. Furthermore there are a whole lot of leds here. Two of these are for the usb-connectors, one to indicate whether or not wps is active, one to show connectivity with the internet, one that indicates the presence of wired connections, a power led and three leds for the wireless connections.
