Asus ROG Rampage VI Extreme (X299) Motherboard Review

Thanks to Asus, we’ll be taking a look at their ROG Rampage VI Extreme (X299 chipset) Motherboard. This motherboard is Asus’s highest-end in their ROG series, and it’s currently their flagship motherboard for 2017 suitable for all Intel Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X processors.

The big brother of the MA410P, Cooler Master has also launched the MA610P today. This coolers sports two RGB fans, as well as a well-sized heatsink that utilises 6 copper heatpipes. Hopefully that should provide good cooling performance, but is the MA610P worth £64.99?

Destiny 2 Gameplay And Performance Review: A PC Gamer's Delight

Destiny 2 recently arrived on the PC, following its successful console launch on September 6 of this year. The original installment in the franchise was a console-exclusive title, despite petitions and pleading from PC gamers to port the title over to Windows. That makes Destiny 2 the first time PC gamers get to use their inner-Guardian to shoot, Sparrow-ride, and loot their way through Bungie’s open-word, action-RPG franchise.

In Destiny 2, you are a “Guardian”, a mortal being who has been granted incredible abilities after receiving the Traveler’s Light. Choosing from three distinct class types, your task is to restore and protect Earth’s last safe city from hordes of alien races...

Entry-level PC - November 2017

Our guidelines for the Entry-level PC category are as follows. The entire computer system, excluding OS, should not exceed £420. Its primary, but not only, function is to provide a smooth and enjoyable online experience. This means that the cheapest processors won’t be enough, as modern web pages and internet applications do demand some processing power.

Additionally, the system has to be able to efficiently perform internet-related tasks. This includes basic photo editing (cropping and resizing to upload or send a photo) and extracting compressed files. At the same time the necessary background programmes need to be active, such as a virus scanner, a firewall, and anti-spyware software. The computer also needs to be able to efficiently run word processing software and administrative programmes.

Another EVGA B3 PSU is on our test bench, and it's the third one to die before we could finish a review. This situation is looking even more suspicious, particularly since EVGA still hasn't acknowledged a problem.

NVIDIA recently released the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti graphics card at $449 and this card aims to fill the performance gap between the GeForce GTX 1070 ($349) and the GeForce GTX 1080 ($499) to better position the GeForce lineup against AMDs Radeon RX Vega series. NVIDIA slipped this card into the lineup near the end of the expected life span of Pascal and has done some interesting things on this model.

Home Reviews Laptops Standard Laptops Lenovo ThinkPad P51 (Kaby Lake) Laptop Review

We have looked at a few of Lenovo's workstation-type notebooks and PCs, and today we are looking at a ThinkPad designed to be more of a mobile workstation hybrid notebook. Under the ThinkPad brand, the P51 can be configured in multiple ways. You can get it with a consumer Core i7 CPU or an E3 Xeon, with up to an NVIDIA Quadro M1200 4GB GPU, mobile broadband, and even 64GB of memory. Let's take a look at one very equipped notebook; the ThinkPad P51.

MSI X299 Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard Review

In the fast paced world of computer hardware it can be difficult to keep track of things. In this year alone, 2017, there have been three major Intel processor launches, two from AMD and countless numbers of motherboards. More motherboards than any of us would care to count and they are all carefully designed to match a pre-defined segment in the marketplace. MSI has been hitting the gaming segment extremely hard and might have actually hit a home run using a processor where gaming isn’t a primary focus.

For this review I will be looking at the MSI X299 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard. This is a gaming ready motherboard built on the new Intel X299 chipset supporting Core X Series processors on the LGA 2066 socket platform. Those of you familiar with LGA 2066 or X-Series processors in general will know that these are the HEDT (High End DeskTop) processors normally reserved for hardware enthusiasts who build without limits or industry professionals who prefer workstation style systems who can leverage everything X-Series has to offer.

Patriot Viper V570 and V570 Blackout Edition Mouse Review

Over the years, we’ve reviewed many Patriot memory kits, with the brand more often than not proving itself to be a viable contender, even in a competitive market place.

Sandisk Ultra 3D & WD Blue 3D 1TB SSD Review

The step to 3D NAND did not go swimmingly for all manufacturers, but for Sandisk and parent company WD the time is finally ripe to use the third generation BiCS flash memory in products. We tested both Sandisk Ultra 3D as well as the WD Blue 3D and will tell you the differences between the two in this review, as well as whether or not you should purchase them.

To immediately answer the first question: the most important difference between these two products is the sticker that is on them. The SSDs are identical in terms of hardware, are manufactured in the same factory and have the exact same specifications. For now WD, owner of Sandisk since 2015, is still releasing the SSD using both brand names, but it is obvious that this will change in time.
