devolo dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac Powerline Networking Review

Technologies such as Mesh networking (https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/james-morris/ultimate-mesh-wifi-router-shootout/) and increasingly powerful radios are giving WiFi the ability to cover more of your home than ever before.

Home Reviews Peripherals Keyboards GAMDIAS Hermes P3 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Today, we are still looking at a mechanical gaming keyboard, but rather than it having large chunky keycaps that most of us are used to, Gamdias has developed the latest in the P Series of keyboards to be built with low-profile switches, which means the keycaps are half the height of the usual suspects. To many, they may not see the advantages right away, but simply put, with shorter switches and caps, this means travel has been reduced as well. Rather than needing to collapse a standard switch, in the realm of 2mm in the distance, in the overall 4mm of switch travel, in this keyboard, we are given 3mm of total travel in the switches. This means that actuation distance is also reduced to the tune of 1.5mm, making them quicker to use than any other taller switch on the market today. Of course, this is not the only thing that will set the Gamdias Hermes P3 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard apart from the masses of options on the market, but it is the biggest thing to set it apart. However, Gamdias ensures that all other features which make a mechanical keyboard great for gaming are included as well. There is anti-ghosting, NKRO support, Macros, remapping, customizations, LED lighting effects, as well as just about anything else your heart desires. That being said, we should get to the meat and potatoes of the Gamdias Hermes P3 so you can see what is new, what is the same, and if any of these things will drive you towards, or away from this keyboard.

NZXT H700i Case Review

NZXT is a company which has always innovated when it came to their cases. I’ve always felt like their cases were made for builders as they’ve always had features that builders and modders wanted. It has been a while since we’ve seen a new high-end case from NZXT. Well they have recently released their new H-Series cases, which are made up of the H700i, H400i, and H200i. These are ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX cases respectively. NZXT tells us these are “Smart” cases with built-in RGB lighting and fans which you can control via NZXT’s very popular CAM software. Of course this is all connected for you from the get go, and you have adaptive noise reduction which should help your system stay quiet, even during intense gaming sessions. Of course you have a nice tempered glass side panel to show off your hardware, and some very interesting cable management features. Is this the next case for you? Read on as we find out!

ower supply is the main grid for powering up PCs and its components. The power supply manufacturer are in numbers in market, and with high quality supplies, the competition has become even stronger. While the power consumption has been brought down by graphics card manufacturer, high end SLI/CFX setups would still be needed the top of the line units; this is to ensure the continuous and max output of power to the components, high capacity power supplies are required. Meanwhile, to understand which platform has better output, OEMs matters. Well, there are several yet popular OEMs being on the list for many years.

To start with, some top OEMs, such as Seasonic, CWT, Sunflower, Froxtronics and few others have been known as the top power supply makers in industry. So if you’re looking to buy an enthusiastic series power supply, then you would need to consider looking at the OEM behind the particular unit.
