ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ Monitor Review

The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ has been a long time coming, and spoiler alert, it was worth the wait. The ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ is one of the first monitors to finally bring together a full complement of cutting-edge technologies and combine them into a single offering, like a delicious stew full of tasty gaming ingredients. In this case, the recipe calls for a 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) in-plane switching (IPS) panel with a blazing fast 144Hz refresh rate, seasoned with High Dynamic Range (HDR) visuals, and garnished with NVIDIA G-Sync support. Talk about a drool-worthy dish..

CableMod AIO Sleeving Kit Review

Okay so just about everyone and their moms have AIO kits in their PC these days. They have gone down in pricing and when it comes to the nicer builds there are now a lot of good options available. A lot of the companies even now pre-sleeve their kits for an even cleaner look. But if you are running an AIO, the one thing you can’t do that you can with a custom water cooling kit is change the color of your coolant. Well, CableMod came out with another option last year and I put it to use in our D-Frame Mini build this week. They have sleeving kits for your AIO kit available in a few different colors. Today I’m going to take a quick look at them and see how easy they are to install and find out if they are worth picking up.

GameMax Precision E-ATX Full-Tower Chassis Review

It’s been a busy year or so for Gamemax, as they continue to release a huge range of new chassis products. Up until now, they’ve been pretty consistently releasing chassis under £100. They’ve been extremely competitive, putting out some of the most affordable tempered glass RGB chassis on the market. Most importantly, they may have been cheap to buy, but their quality and aesthetics have been very competitive.

Today, Gamemax is tackling a more high-end part of the market. Their new E-ATX full-tower comes with all the features you would expect from a brands big flagship chassis. However, while it does cost over a £100, it’s only £159.99, making it one of the most affordable full-towers with this many features on the market today. Does it have what it takes to compete with the bigger names in the business? Well, that’s what we’re all here to find out!

Gaming on an iGPU: how good is that free graphics card?

More and more people are gaming, but the majority of them are casual players. Those gamers make less demands on image quality and frame rates, and will not want to invest in a state of the art video card. What can you expect if you have to make do with the processor's built-in video card? Is an external entry-level model worthwhile? That's what we tell you in this article.

Although 'serious' gamers often talk amicably about integrated graphics, i.e. the graphics card that is built-in in CPUs, these iGPUs can be found in an enormous number of desktops and laptops. They are located in more PCs than all the separate video cards combined. As a young gamer without money, it is likely that you will start your gaming adventure on your parents' computer or on an old PC of an acquaintance or family. Such office buses are rarely equipped with a separate video card and often cannot be equipped with a more powerful external one due to a lack of the required PCIe slot and/or power connections. If a separate card is already present, it will seldom be a model that can conjure up imaginative 3D images on the screen.

NETGEAR Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 WiFi Router Review

Charter Communications recently doubled the download speed of Spectrum Internet in a handful of areas from 100 to 200 Mbps at no additional costs to customers. To get the faster 200 Mbps some existing Spectrum Internet customers will need to swap out your older DOCSIS 1.1 or 2.0 cable modem to a newer DOCSIS 3.0 or 3.1 model that is capable of reaching those higher speeds. The good news here is that Charter as well as most of the big Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide you with a free modem.

We are based in the St. Louis area and recently got the free internet speed bump to 200 Mbps. Our experience was pretty good until we tried playing the popular online multiplayer battle royale game title called PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) on our wired desktop PC. We kept getting complete game freezes while playing and the much-hated network lag detected error would pop-up on the screen. Going from 100 Mbps internet service to 200 Mbps internet service ruined our gaming experience and that makes absolutely no sense.

Razer Blade Pro (Kaby Lake) Laptop Review

Today we are taking a look at a Razer notebook for the first time, and it's a pretty interesting one. Over the years Razer has developed a cult following much like Apple, and for a good reason.

Razer takes their time with their notebook development and aims to release a product that overcomes many obstacles that day-zero launch products might encounter such as overheating. In fact, we are reviewing their 7th generation notebook today while they just launched their 8th generation products, albeit they launched 8th gen a few months later than their competitors.
