APH Networks: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2 Review

Ever since I bought the weighted blanket I talked about in my ARCTIC Freezer A13 X review, I have been sleeping comfortably. There was only one issue: My feet still remained cold. Having had this problem my entire life, I randomly decided to search it up on Google and of course, the first link brings me to WebMD. I simply love to read how many issues I could have as it brings me pure joy when I read the word “disease”. Taking WebMD causes as a false diagnosis like it is in most cases, I wanted to see what you could do to prevent having cold feet. I really liked one of the suggestions being “lower your stress”. How could I be so oblivious to this simple solution? Throughout the next week, I will simply just enter the state of not being stressed and see if my feet will become warm. In all seriousness, I do not really care about my ice-cold feet, so I just go to sleep anyway. In many cases, being cold is not the greatest, but when it comes to my CPU, I would prefer to not be able to cook an egg on it. Today, we get to try out the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO V2. Will this cooler perform well enough to keep my CPU as chilly as my feet? Keep reading to find out!

Overclock-Then-Game: X58 + RTX 3080 Review

In early May 2020 Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, was seen standing in his kitchen while cooking. From that point he pulled something from his oven. The “dish” he revealed from his oven contained Nvidia’s next generation architecture, Ampere and the A100 GPU. A few days later Jensen Huang properly introduced the groundbreaking A100, yes from his actual kitchen, and from that point gamers waited patiently for Nvidia’s next GPU reveal based on the Ampere architecture.

Hardware BBQ: Cooler Master CH321 USB Gaming Headset Review

Let’s face it, RGB is in and a lot of people look out for RGB in almost everything from keyboards to mice to headsets. The only thing stopping most people from buying everything RGB is usually the price. Cooler Master probably figured out a gap in the market for an affordable RGB headset and thus the CH321 was made. So the Cooler Master CH321 seeks to address the lack of low-end RGB headsets in the market. Regardless, its primary purpose of headphones and headsets should be good- sound.
