AOC AG352UCG6 35″ Curved G-Sync Gaming Monitor Review

Picking the right gaming monitor is a big deal, especially when youre looking to spend the best part of £700-800! At that price range, you know you want to get a lot of bang for your buck. Youll want higher resolutions, higher refresh rates, and no doubt a massive panel.

ASRock X570 Taichi Motherboard Review

It's ASRock's £300 X570 offering - what does Luke make of it? Aiming to prove that a £300 spend still nets you a premium X570 motherboard, the ASRock X570 Taichi features a 14-phase power delivery solution, triple M.2 connectors, and 802.11ax WiFi 6.

Fans of RGB should be impressed, too, as there’s little skimping on ASRock’s part when it comes to onboard lighting. You get three onboard lighting zones – the rear IO and chipset areas – in addition to ASRock’s edge LED lighting down the right side of the motherboard. I must say, the glowing edge lighting zone looks superb. That could be an important factor to styling-conscious users who see competing options as frugal when it comes to onboard lighting.

ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wi-Fi X570 Motherboard Review

ASUS is one of the best known and most influential motherboard makers on the planet. The company has shipped more than 500 million motherboards since 1989. The company’s engineering prowess gained Intel’s attention back in the day as it was able to develop i486 compatible motherboards independently of Intel. A formal partnership was established shortly after that and ASUS has become almost the industry standard in the motherboard DIY market. Naturally, ASUS has diversified itself and produces a wide range of products for computing and gaming enthusiasts ranging from motherboards, monitors, graphics cards, keyboards, mice, and even gaming focused cell phones.

The company still manages to flourish in a market where the traditional and once ubiquitous PC has become a niche product at best. At one time the beige boxes could be found nearly everywhere from homes and offices, to schools and churches. These days there are only really two reasons to build a desktop PC of any type. 1.) To play games. 2.) For workstation application use. The latter encompasses content creation such as video editing, graphic design, computer animation and so on. The writing has been on the wall for years and companies such as ASUS have essentially embraced PC gaming as their salvation in a market where tablets, laptops and even cell phones have all but made the PC obsolete for web browsing and light work.

Fractal Design Vector RS Blackout (Light TG) Mid-Tower Chassis Review

I don't think at this point; most users would need an introduction to Fractal Design. Fractal has been around making some very iconic cases for quite some time now. Fractal showed up on the radar of many enthusiasts with the introduction of minimalists or simple, sleek cases with a quality and silence appeal. Not only that but the hijinks or marketing stunts Fractal has employed to help gain notoriety such as subjecting one of their chassis side panels to a shotgun blast to show its strength. While some of this I'm sure was simply for the fun of the marketing rep, the antics have proven to get some defined attention (pun intended) on the Fractal brand and chassis lines.

The chassis we have today is technically a brand new offering for Fractal, the Vector RS Series. The Vector RS for all intents and purposes is a Define R6 base chassis for the most part with some new exterior panels and some unique modularity to match what you want it to be. The Vector RS is designed for those who want the structural rigidity and overall robust and capable internal skeleton of the R6 but with some style added to the mix, and of course RGB. Fractal has been one of the few holdouts in the RGB game. With the S2 Vision recently coming onto the scene, which was the sign Fractal had finally embraced the new trend and the more flash nature that some users demand.

Intel Cascade Lake-X i9-10980XE and i9-9900KS Details Leaked

Things certainly seem to be ramping up on the Intel front with a number of pretty substantial rumors and leaks in the last week. For example, only earlier this week we saw benchmarks leak from the Intel i9-10900X processor. In addition, the release of the i9-9900KS this month seems (pretty much) a guarantee.
