ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac review: all-rounder
Many Mini-ITX motherboards aren't exactly standouts due to their features or overclocking features, as the lack of space what can be achieved. The ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac, the highest positioned ITX motherboard on the market and the first Z270 Mini-ITX motherboard we've tested, proofs that space does not have to be a limiting factor.Read full article @ Hardware.Info
The Z270 chipset doesn't add much on Mini-ITX motherboards, compared to (micro-)ATX motherboards. The two main differences between Z270 and H270 are the support for splitting up lanes (in practice this means SLI and CrossFire support) and overclocking. Multiple PCI-Express slots won't fit on a board like this, which is why the first feature is rather pointless in this case. Support for overclocking isn't that useful in most cases either, because the power circuit and MOSFET heatsinks are simply not good enough.
ASRock X370 Killer SLI Review
As Killer SLI is an X370 motherboard, it will enjoy a host of other features including RGB lighting, 8x VR-ready USB 3.1 ports, and a HDMI 1.4a port for when used with a (currently unreleased) APU. Finished off with stylish white on black design and RGB LED lighting (along with 2x additional RGB LED strip, there are plenty of customisation options available to those concerned with creating their dream systemRead full article @ Vortez
Corsair Force LE 200 SSD Review
Corsair adds to the Force LE series with a new low-cost model that nixes the DRAM but brings flash-based storage costs down to a new user group.Read full article @ Toms Hardware
Corsair GLAIVE RGB Game Mouse Review
We review the new 16K DPI Corsair Gaming GLAIVE RGB game mouse, the device is sturdy and aesthetically pleasing with configurable RGB LEDs and has a grip that is intensely impressive. Oh hey, and did we mention it has magnetic removable thumb grips already?Read full article @ Guru3D
Corsair One Pro (USA version)
Corsair One started life as a concept for a new case and evolved into a fully built gaming PC. We have previously seen the Corsair Bulldog barebones but Corsair One is different as it is a fully functioning Windows 10 PC that requires no assembly.Read full article @ KitGuru
The aluminium tower is considerably smaller than you might expect and only stands 380mm high, which means you should have little difficulty finding room for it near your TV or stood on your desk. Inside you’ll find an Intel Core i7 and Nvidia graphics which each have their own liquid cooling set-up.
Corsair ONE Pro Review
In what could be regarded as a pillar of power, the ONE Pro is one of many prebuilt computer systems by Corsair which sits at the top of the pack. This compact PC is based on the Mini-ITX form factor and bears a strong lineup of features such as Intel's Core i7-7700K, 16GB DDR4 and the GTX 1080.Read full article @ Vortez
Corsair TX 750M Power Supply Review (80 Plus Gold)
Today we test a Corsair power supply from their new TX-M series comprising a semi modular design, tight voltage control and 80 Plus Gold efficiency levels. Corsair say they have placed a lot of effort into reducing coil whine and are offering a 7 year warranty with this specific range of units.Read full article @ KitGuru
Entry-level PC - May 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.Read full article @ Hardware.Info
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.
EpicGear Morpha X Modular Mouse Review
EpicGear really likes modular peripherals. First we saw the DeFiant keyboard, which lets users change the mechanical switches on a per-key basis, and today we are looking at the Morpha X mouse. What makes the Morpha X modular is the fact that you can change pretty much everything about it – its colour, its weight, its button switches and even the sensor type.Read full article @ KitGuru
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GAMING Review: Dialing-In On Performance
Soon after NVIDIA's Founder’s Edition GeForce GTX 1080 Ti hit the scene, board partners readied custom cards, like the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 GAMING with iCX technology we’ll be showing you here. We have already taken a look at a powerful behemoth from Gigabyte, and MSI chimed in recently as well.Read full article @ HotHardware
Today’s combatant from EVGA, though slightly more tame in terms of clock speeds, may just be the most attractive to the data junkies and tweakers among you...
Fedora, Ubuntu, and SuSE Linux Available from Windows Store
That's right, Microsoft could soon distribute Linux. Popular PC Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and SuSE, could soon be available through the Windows Store. Microsoft made this startling announcement at its Build 2017 keynote. The idea here is to make Linux distributions available to power-users who want to run the operating systems in virtual machines, or install the OS in a manner that lets you run Linux applications directly on Windows 10.Read full article @ techPowerUp
There are still limits to what you can do with Linux you get from the Windows Store. For starters, the OS can't be installed on the host machine, in say, a separate partition/volume, which you can choose to boot from, using a bootloader such as GRUB. The download also doesn't directly expose the .iso installer disk image of your Linux distro. It could still be useful for developers seeking a turnkey Linux environment instantly for development or testing, or for schools to teach Linux.
LG G6 Review
LG's flagship Android smartphone isn't quite as sexy as the Samsung Galaxy S8, but nor is it as expensiveRead full article @ V3
MSI Z270 Gaming M7 Review
With the Gaming M7, MSI has a well equipped motherboard in its portfolio, which comes with a bunch of interesting features. There are for example three M.2 Gen 3 x4 slots and a single U.2 port. Apart from that MSI refined the design of their Gaming series motherbards, which should make this a pretty interesting model.Read full article @ ocaholic
Roccat Kone Pure Owl-Eye
Roccat's Kone Pure Owl-Eye can be considered a revamped Kone Optical or Military, using an updated PixArt 3361 sensor and more compact dimensions. This $70 mouse is also lighter and delivers outstanding precision and tracking performance. The mouse wheel is probably the best we ever used, both for scrolling and clicking.Read full article @ techPowerUp
Tesoro Excalibur SE Spectrum Review
The Excalibur SE Spectrum itself has some other tricks up its sleeve too, including RGB lighting and a driverless design, not to mention that the switches are hot-swappable, allowing you to easily remote the switches and replace them with other types depending on preference.Read full article @ Vortez
XFX RX 570 RS 4GB XXX Edition Review
Today we're taking a look at XFX's factory overclocked Radeon RX 570 RS "XXX Edition", boasting 1264MHz "True" core and 7GHz memory clocks out of the box with the promise of even higher overclocking potential. Ringing in at under $200 USD, it's intended to deliver value for performance when it comes to 1080p gaming.Read full article @ Neoseeker
