TechPowerUp: FiiO FD3 In-Ear Monitors + New K3 Desktop DAC/Amp Review
We have a two-in-one from FiiO as we look at the recently launched FD3 in-ear monitors and New K3 desktop USB DAC/amplifier. The FD3 uses a single dynamic driver for each channel and has a lot of trickle-down tech from the more expensive FD5. The New K3 updates the DAC with higher SNR and lower distortion, too.

TechPowerUp: Fractal Design Torrent Black RGB TG Light Tint Review
The Fractal Design Torrent is an all-new chassis with a unique internal layout and the ability to easily hold even the largest air coolers out there. Add plenty of space for custom loops and five intake fans, two of which are 180 mm, and the Torrent could be the breeze of fresh air Fractal Design needs.

IgorsLAB: NVIDIA RTX A5000 Review - How good is the successor of the Quadro RTX 5000?
With the NVIDIA RTX A5000, I have a workstation graphics card in review today that should not only easily replace its predecessor, the Quadro RTX 5000, but can even beat the Quadro RTX 6000 in some areas. Plus, of course, the new features Ampere offers over Turing, as well as various tweaks that NVIDIA says make it more than just a more efficient replacement. This is exactly why I’ll be testing the RTX A5000 in a variety of workloads, not just pure raster graphics.
