Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless Review

Evolution rather than revolution. Corsair has revamped its gaming headset range by introducing four new models under the Void Pro banner. Available in wireless, wired USB and wired 3.5mm analog (non-RGB) variants with virtual Dolby 7.1 technology on all versions, Corsair says it has improved the new range in a number of key areas. The highlights include a better microphone, improved lag-free WiFi on relevant models, and retuned drivers that offer more refined bass and extra clarity in the mid-range space.

Pricing is consistent with the outgoing Void models that are entirely subsumed by the new Pro. Starting at $79 for the wired versions and rising to $99 for the wireless, with an additional $30 for a special edition yellow model, Corsair is firmly pitching the Pro towards the premium end of the gaming market. We have the white wireless version ($99) in for technical evaluation today.

Dell UltraSharp U3417W review: update of a favorite

For quite some time, Dell had a popular model within the market of ultrawide monitors with a 34-inch diagonal and uwqhd-resolution, the UltraSharp U3415W. With excellent performance and a relatively low price it was in demand with users that valued a lot of monitor space without the need for software scaling. Right now there is a successor available, the UltraSharp U3417W. We tested it extensively.

Drobo B810i Review

Drobo lowered the price of the B810 products, and the SAN model moved to just $999. Let's take a closer look.

Outside of hardcore enterprise systems that cost many thousands of dollars, the Drobo B810i stands alone as a mainstream dedicated iSCSI SAN-only device. The iSCSI feature is often included with lower-cost network-attached storage systems, but mostly as an afterthought. Drobo decided to take iSCSI seriously while maintaining the company's ease-of-use policy. The result is a user-friendly device that takes the complication out of a complicated setup process.

Four short throw projectors review

Short throw projectors only need a minimal distance to the screen, which makes placement of the projector a lot easier and prevents people from ‘walking through the image’. Ideal for in the board- or classroom, but are they also suited for home use? We test four models, the Acer U5520B, the BenQ W1210ST, the LG PF1000U and the Optoma GT5000.

HP EliteBook x360 G2 Review

The ultimate business convertible? Want a high-quality business laptop? Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon has set the benchmark, but this is a fiercely contested area of the market, with multiple manufacturers eager to lock down lucrative enterprise contracts. HP is one of the biggest names in the business and has seen great success with an Elite line of PCs promising "a unique combination of durability, reliability, security and efficiency."

Striving to create "the world's most reliable computer," HP Elite PCs are subjected to severe temperatures, high altitudes, and drop tests you wouldn't want to try out at home. Testing is said to continue for more than 100,000 hours, resulting in products that offer genuine appeal to IT managers and road warriors alike, so while the likes of the Spectre x360 may hog the limelight, there's usually an Elite alternative for those demanding extra toughness.

HyperX Predator 3200MHz DDR4 Memory Kit Review

When it comes to memory, Kingston is one of the first names people bring up. HyperX is Kingston’s high-performance division, that focus’s developing the best peripherals for gamers and users that demad the best performance. They are constantly updating their product line to meet the needs of gamers and enthusiasts. When a new chipset is released, HyperX is always found on the motherboard’s compatibility list. When Ryzen came out, there were many issues with memory compatibility, however HyperX was one of the first to be fully certified.

When we received our AMD Ryzen 7 1700X media kit, HyperX provided us a set of their HyperX Predator DDR4 3200MHz memory to test along with the Ryzen. The HyperX Predator DDR4 memory line includes speeds starting at 3000MHz and goes up to 3600MHz, in various capacities.

In Win 301 Case Review

In Win’s 303 Mid Tower chassis was and still is very popular. Well if you didn’t know In Win came out with an even smaller version of the chassis, which is the 301. It is made for Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX builds and definitely is one of the smallest tower-style cases we’ve ever seen! In Win calls this style of case a mini tower and we have to say this is one elegant case. You have a simplistic style with a full tempered glass side panel. On top of that you can fit some pretty beefy hardware inside. Let’s jump in and take a look!

Intel Core i7-8700K and i5-8400 SANDRA Benchmarks Surface

Ahead of their launch later this quarter, SiSoft SANDRA benchmarks of Intel 8th generation Core i7-8700K and Core i5-8400 six-core processors surfaced in benchmark databases, which were promptly compared to their predecessors by HotHardware. The results put to the test Intel's claims of "over 40 percent more performance" compared to the 7th generation Core processors, which the company made in its 8th Generation Core Launch Event presentation. A bulk of these performance increases are attributed to the increasing core-count over generation, which directly yields higher multi-threaded performance; while a small but significant portion of it is attributed to increases in single-threaded performance. Since the "Coffee Lake" micro-architecture is essentially a refresh of the "Skylake" architecture, single-threaded performance increases could be attributed to higher clock speeds.

The Core i7-8700K is the top-dog of the 8th generation Core mainstream-desktop processor family. This six-core chip was compared to the product it succeeds in Intel's MSDT product-stack, the quad-core Core i7-7700K. There is a 45 percent increase in performance, in the "processor arithmetic" test; and a 47 percent increase in the "processor multimedia" test. These two test-suites are multi-threaded, and hence benefit from the two added cores, which in turn add four additional logical CPUs, thanks to HyperThreading. "Processor cryptography" sees a 12 percent increase. The single-precision and double-precision "Scientific Analysis" tests, which again are multi-threaded, see 26 percent and 32 percent performance gains over the i7-7700K, respectively.

Intel Core i7-8700K spotted alongside ASRock Z370 Pro4

The specs of Intel's 8700K CPU are well known at this point. It's a 6-core and 12-thread processor with TDP at 95W. The Coffeelake-S desktop lineup together with Z370 chipset will be released in early October as teased by Intel in the 8th Gen launch video (probably the most cringeworthy material in ages). The following leak is the first one showing both Core i7-8700K and consumer Z370 motherboard together. The CPU was put to the test with ASRock Z370 Pro4, a motherboard we recently mentioned in upcoming Z370 motherboard list.

iStorage diskAshur2 Review: Ultra-Secure 256-Bit AES Locked Down External Storage

The new iStorage diskAshur2 is a specialized, external hard drive geared toward security conscious consumers. The diskAshur2 is a little pricey, and although it's no slouch in the speed department (we'll get into that in a bit), it's certainly not going to compete with that shiny new internal SSD you've got your eye on in terms of transfer speeds. But here's the thing: It's plenty fast enough for just about anything you'd want to do, and just as importantly, it's both rugged and secure. So, despite a somewhat lofty asking price, the diskAshur2 is actually a pretty good deal. If you need its feature-set, you'll be happy to have made the investment for the added security layer...

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX

I haven’t really had time to check out too many cases over the last few years but I’ve been trying to do a little catching up. On my very short list was a small ITX case that I’ve been seeing around all over the place from Phanteks. The Enthoo Evolv ITX is one of those rare cases that is priced like a budget case but seems to have some of the features and styling that you find in higher end cases. So I reached out to Phanteks and they were happy to send over the case. I’ve been testing it out with our Ryzen ITX setup and I wanted to sit down and talk a little about the case. So let's dive in to see what Phanteks has going on with this popular case.

Razer Lancehead Review

The Razer Lancehead Tournament Edition has been around for a few months now, but recently they've bolstered that design with the beauty of a wireless connection, foregoing those wires completely (until it requires a charge, of course). Razer also changed the sensor from an optical to a 5G 16,000 DPI laser sensor, the most accurate on the market, apparently.

Some Early AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X Linux Benchmarks

Yesterday along with the completely Linux-trouble-free Ryzen 7 (it indeed went overnight without any issues coming up via the kill-ryzen script), I finally got my hands on the AMD Threadripper. In particular, the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X that features sixteen physical cores yielding 32 threads via SMT, 3.4GHz base frequency, 4.0GHz boost clock frequency, and quad-channel DDR4 support. This Threadripper 1950X is a beast but will set you back $999 USD and has a 180 Watt TDP. I'll have my much more thorough AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X Linux review next week including many more benchmarks, performance-per-dollar, and system power use / performance-per-Watt metrics, but here are some very early results for those anxious to see this HEDT PC on Linux.
