KitGuru: Kolink Big Chungus V2 Unit Edition Review
Big Chungus is one of the most interestingly named PC cases we have seen in a long time. In a market where a series of letters and numbers often make PC cases sound more like a robot from a sci-fi movie rather than somewhere to house your expensive hardware, having an actual name is refreshing. ‘Big Chungus’ was originally a viral meme in case you were wondering, but does this huge show case live up to its name and can it rival some of the other similarly priced open-air display chassis the market has to offer? We find out today.

KitGuru: Seasonic Syncro Q704 Case Review (with Syncro DGC-750)
Seasonic, the power supply company, has delivered its first PC case and it is an adventurous piece of work. If you check back to our coverage of the Seasonic Connect power supply and cabling system you might be able to guess where this is going. Syncro Q704 is an E-ATX case that has been designed to work with Connect and the model we have on review is supplied with the Syncro DGC-750 power supply. To say that Q704 is unusual does not do it justice as it has an inverted motherboard tray, four 120mm Nidec fans and a cable system that is unique.

KitGuru: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU Review
AMD’s Zen 3 Ryzen 9 chips – the 12-core 5900X and 16-core 5950X – have proven to be winners in their respective market segments. But selling for £520 and £750 respectively, there is need for lower cost options to appeal to the mass market. Is the £420 Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core the option that users were looking for? Or has AMD increased the price versus Zen 2 predecessors by too much?

NikKTech: EPOS Sennheiser ADAPT 660 BT ANC Headset Review
The ADAPT 660 BT ANC Headset is the flagship model in the professional line by EPOS Sennheiser and today I’m going to see if it has what it takes to take on its very popular competition from manufacturers like SONY, BOSE and JABRA.

eTeknix: SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless Review
SteelSeries make so many amazing headsets, but right now, the one Im most excited about is the Arctis 1. Its not their flagship model, its not their cheapest either. However, it seems to strike an impressive balance of features and performance that really caught my attention.

KitGuru: Mountain Everest Max Review
Mountain is a new company striving to create premium peripherals, and their mantra is “reach your summit”. They’re trying to ascend into gamers’ hearts with the Everest series of keyboards, which are customisable, modular designs… but you might need to hike into your savings as the Everest Max that we’re looking at today comes in at a steep £223.99. Is it worth the money?

KitGuru: Razer Naga Pro Wireless Review
As an MMO player since 2004, the original Razer Naga from 2009 changed my life. Those 12 extra buttons on the left side of the mouse made the Naga stand out against the crowd. Now, 11 years later, the Naga Pro Wireless takes the Naga Trinity and turns it up a notch. This comes with three interchangeable side panels, one for MMO, FPS and Battle Royale play styles to give you the edge in your favourite games. Alongside Razer’s Optical 70m switches and Optical Focus+ sensor, plus wired, Bluetooth LE and Hyperspeed 2.4GHz wireless modes, is this the only mouse you’ll ever need? Let’s find out.
