ASUS GTX 950-2G Unplugged Review

Back in early 2014 Nvidia first demonstrated its Maxwell architecture, based on a 28nm process, and in unorthodox fashion the first graphics card to emerge was the low-power GTX 750 Ti. It wasn’t until later on that year that Maxwell was rolled-out to the high performance segment, with the GTX 980.

The barebones NUC6i7KYK sells for $630 and requires you to bring your own storage, memory and OS, which could easily push the price beyond $1,000.

SilverStone Redline Series RL05 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

SilverStone has a long history of high-end and occasionally crazy chassis designs, but in recent years, they have also been working hard to make their chassis more affordable and available to a wider audience, while also integrating many of the features that made their high-end and crazy products so popular to begin with. The new RL-05 looks set to be a perfect example of this, with its extreme looks, high functionality, and exceptional value for money.

“The Redline series RL05 was created with the goal of exceeding user experience and expectation for affordable PC chassis by offering punchy styling and features reserved often for more expensive models. RL05 includes two 140mm LED fans as intakes to inject large amount of air flow through filter for SilverStone’s signature positive pressure setup that not only provides great cooling but also minimal dust buildup.” – SilverStone

With room for large graphics cards, ATX motherboards, and an ATX PSU, the RL05 has all the basics, but you’ll also find USB 3.0 Type-C support, two pre-installed 140mm fans, a PSU shroud, dust filters, and more. So let’s stop picking through the bullet points and get the RL05 out of the box!

Zotac Sonix 480GB PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive Review

We have finally entered the new storage era and it is no longer just a few selected manufacturers that have NVMe drives on the market. More competition and more options are great for us consumers and it is a pleasure for me to take Zotac’s Sonix PCIe-based NVMe SSD with 480GB capacity for a test drive here at the office today.

Zotac describes the drive as a silent silver bullet and that is not a far-fetched statement. NVMe is a standard created for solid state drives where SATA was made for mechanical drives and originates all the way back from IDE. NVMe can handle a lot more and in return, we get improved access times and blazing fast transfer speeds. This is to part due to better components, but mainly the ability to utilize the CPU a lot better and take advantage of modern architectures.
