The Guru of 3D: Scythe Ninja 5 air cooler review

Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Scythe: the NINJA 5. The last time we got our hands on this company’s cooler was a whopping 10 years ago – it was the Ninja 3 model (which earned the “Recommended” award). This time around it’s not a single-tower CPU cooler, but rather a dual one with two fans attached.

MMORPG.com: Cyberpunk 2077 PC Review In Progress: Part One

To say I've been anticipating Cyberpunk 2077 would be a gross understatement. I vividly remember watching the very first teaser trailer eight years ago in 2012, my curiosity brimming. Eight years later, here we are. Welcome to Part One of our review in progress.

MMORPG.com: World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Review

It's been a little over three weeks since the eighth expansion for World of Warcraft launched. Since then, Robin has leveled up her main, started in on the various max level activities, and worked on an alt a bit. She's also had some time to step into the new raid and experience some of it, and the first Mythic+ and PVP season has started as well. As such, it's time for our final thoughts on Shadowlands. Here is our review.

TechPowerUp: XFX Radeon RX 6800 XT Speedster Merc 319 Black Review

The XFX Radeon RX 6800 XT Speedster Merc 319 offers more than a complicated name. In our testing, we found the card to be faster than the custom designs from Sapphire and PowerColor. With manual overclocking, the card even managed to beat the overclocked AMD RX 6900 XT.

OverclockersClub: Gazzew Boba U4 Silent Tactile Switch Review

Time for another keyboard switch review, but this one is a bit different from the last two for the Silk Yellows and NK Creams from NovelKeys. For one thing, these are the Gazzew Boba U4 Silent Tactile switches from 1Up Keyboards, and for another I have been using them in the 1Up Keyboards 1UP 60 HSE 2-Plate Keyboard Kit I put together a while ago. Both the kit and the switches were provided by 1Up Keyboards. The previous two switches I worked with were in the NK65 – Entry Edition build, and because of differences between the case and plate, the typing sounds cannot be directly compared. Another difference, which is obvious from the name of the switch, is that these Boba U4s are tactile switches, while the other two are linear.
