Gigabyte AB350N Gaming WiFi

It’s hard to believe that the Ryzen 7 launch was three months ago but with the Ryzen 5 launch and the recently Intel launch, things have just been crazy. During that time though I have been constantly on the lookout for ITX boards. AMD spoke about their X300 and A300 chipsets at the Ryzen 7 launch but things have been suspiciously quiet about them for the last few months but a few motherboard manufacturers have been working on their own ITX AM4 boards using the X370 or B350 chipsets. Gigabyte has finished up their variation and it came in late last week. I immediately started in on testing to see just how feasible Ryzen is in ITX. So let's take a closer look at the Gigabyte AB350N Gaming WiFi and then see how it performs!

GIGABYTE GA-AB350 Gaming 3 Review

One of the more striking aspects of the AB350-Gaming 3 is that it features the Accent LED Overlay similar to that found on the Aorus motherboards, to which you can download a 3D printable document which can be customised to your own liking. This overlay forms part of the 'Surround' RGB lighting experience to which GIGABYTE have included headers for the AMD LED RGB fan, as well as an additional RGBW LED strip header, all of which can then be controlled via the RGB Fusion app.

Intel Core i7-7740X Processor Review

Just the other day we published our review of Intel’s Core i9-7900X Skylake-X processor. It was our first review of a processor in Intel’s new Core X Series, and now today we have the Core i7-7740X Kaby Lake-X processor. This processor is based on a different micro-architecture than the other processors that sit above it in Intel’s X Series product stack. With the i7-7740X you have Kaby Lake cores and it is the first time we’ve seen Intel launch two generations of processors at the same time (Kaby Lake-X / Skylake-X). The i7-7740X is a quad-core processor with a base clock speed of 4.3 GHz, boosts up to 4.5 GHz, 8 MB of cache, 16 PCI-Express lanes, and a 112W TDP. Intel is pricing this processor at only $339, not a bad price to get into Intel’s HEDT platform. If you are building a new system should you be looking at the Core i7-7740X? Read on as we find out!

Linksys EA9500 MAX-STREAM AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router Review

USB performance may not be the strong point of the EA9500 MAX-STREAM AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit Router and it does carry a high price tag but with by far the best wireless performance in our charts and with a total of 8 RJ45 Gigabit ports potential buyers shouldn't have much to think about.

Overclocking the Core i9-7900X

We walked away impressed by the speed of Intel's new Skylake-X chips, however thermals were a severe letdown. The Core i9-7900X is too hot to handle even when paired with an AIO liquid cooler. But we think the 10-core/20-thread beast deserves a more robust cooling solution to match it so we can properly overclock it. Read on.
