TechPowerUp: Intel Rocket Lake CPUs Will Bring up to 10% IPC Improvement and 5 GHz Clocks

Intel is struggling with its node development and it looks like next-generation consumer systems are going to be stuck on 14 nm for a bit more. Preparing for that, Intel will finally break free from Sky Lake-based architectures and launch something new. The replacement for the current Comet Lake gen...

APH Networks: FSP CST110 Review

In the past couple of weeks, my brother and I have been on a hunt to find our ideal house. If you have read my profile, my current goal is to become a homeowner by the age of 20. When considering the price, square footage is a component people look at. Geographical location is another key aspect regarding price. While I personally do like smaller and tighter homes with good layouts, there have been several occasions where these smaller homes were more expensive compared to other larger homes due to the location. Much like homes, there are several smaller ITX and mATX cases that cost more despite the difference in size. One thing smaller cases must consider in their design is the general layout. Unlike larger ATX cases, the layout of smaller cases absolutely needs to be well planned out as cable management is much more important. Larger cases with bad layouts can be dealt with more easily due to the greater amount of space inside. It is kind of like having a washroom directly next to your dining room. It will work functionally, but will not be pleasant for anyone using it. In a smaller case, this analogy is more exaggerated as the toilet seat will likely also be your dining room chairs. Taking this into consideration, FSP has sent over their CST110 mATX case for us to try out. How will the FSP CST110 function given its smaller form factor? Keep reading to find out!

KitGuru: Phanteks Enthoo Pro II Case Review

Phanteks revealed the Enthoo Pro II full tower chassis back at CES earlier in the year and I’ve been looking forward to getting hands on to see how it compares to the original. I used the original Enthoo Pro chassis and it was a loyal servant for many years. The build quality and feature-set of the original were impressive, so I can’t wait to see what improvements, if any, have been made with the Pro II.
