TechPowerUp: Quick Look: Shanling BA1 Desktop Bluetooth Receiver

Shanling has an interesting product in the BA1 desktop Bluetooth receiver. It uses hardware seen in smaller, more portable form factors, but markets it more as a way to add Bluetooth connectivity to desktop audio hardware. There is also a feature-rich 1st-party app which enhances the user experience.

TechPowerUp: Thermaltake Divider 300 TG Air Review

The Thermaltake Divider 300 TG Air takes the first launched case of the Divider line and replaces the front with a vented steel panel and simpler fan configuration. Also featuring the signature split side panel design, it uses exactly the same body as the original and is available in white, too.

KitGuru: Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P Max Review

Anyone who owns or has used the Cooler Master NR200P mini-ITX case will think it is near impossible to be improved upon. Well, Cooler Master has other ideas because we’ve been sent a new, updated version of the MasterBox NR200P and this time Cooler Master isn’t playing around. But can they really improve on the already brilliant small form factor chassis? Surely not I hear you say… well, let’s find out!

KitGuru: Intel Core i5-12600K Review

While Intel’s flagship i9-12900K may be stealing the headlines today, the mid-range i5-12600K is arguably more impressive. Comprised of six Performance cores and four Efficient cores, for a total of 16 threads, this processor comes with a more palatable £290 asking price. That puts it head to head with the popular Ryzen 5 5600X, but is it a battle Intel can win?

KitGuru: Intel Core i9-12900K Review

Today is a busy day for the industry, with Intel’s 12th Gen processors now officially available, alongside new DDR5 memory kits and a whole raft of Z690 motherboards. Here we’re focusing on the CPUs though, and specifically Intel’s new consumer flagship part, the Core i9-12900K. With eight Performance cores and eight Efficiency cores, and a total of 24 threads, has Intel done enough to reclaim the desktop performance crown?

Hot on the heels of WD’s latest NAS-focussed Red drive, the SN700, comes the newest addition to WD’s mainstream Blue drive range, the WD Blue SN570. Priced at just £91.99 for the 1TB model, what does the SN570 have to offer in this extremely competitive market?
