Asus TUF Gaming H7 Wireless Headset Review

It's a new wireless headset that's part of the TUF Gaming range. How does it sound? The H7 Wireless headset is the newest addition to ASUS’ TUF Gaming family of peripherals, and it is also the first to use a wireless 2.4GHz connection. Aimed squarely at the gaming market, there’s support for 7.1 virtual surround sound as well as comprehensive software control, but is the headset itself any good?

Cooler Master Silencio S400 Case Review

It's Cooler Master latest case designed to be as quiet as possible. Is it successful? In the quest for a truly silent chassis, case manufacturers are constantly looking for new ways to combat noise output from the desktop PC.

FSP Hydro G PRO 850 W Review

The FSP Hydro G Pro 850 W is of terrific build quality and uses a modern platform, but something in its final recipe didn't turn out as planned. Overall performance isn't as good as with the competition, and the HG2-850 costs more than the popular Corsair RM850x or Seasonic Focus Plus Gold of similar capacity.

Game Max Kamikaze Pro Case Review

Game Max may be a fairly fresh name in Western markets. However, they’ve gone from strength to strength, delivering amazing products at even more amazing prices. Just last year we reviewed the Game Max Kamikaze and Andy did a fantastic £1500 time-lapse build called the Red Kamikaze! I prised it for being the best budget case of 2018, and at £50, it’s hard to argue with me. Now, Game Max is back once again with the Kamikaze Pro!

Featuring support for an mATX motherboard, the Kamikaze Pro may be a fairly small PC case, but it can pack some serious hardware. There’s room for a good size GPU, ATX PSU, plenty of storage, water cooling, and much more. Plus, with tempered glass on the side, it’s perfect for showing off your build. But wait, there’s more! It also comes with an ARGB fan hub, as well as 3 x 120mm dual-ring ARGB fans built into the front and a fourth in the rear. That’s an insane amount of hardware for a case that costs just… can you guess? £100? No, £80? No, just £58! FIFTY-EIGHT POUNDS! Let’s dive in for a closer look.

GIGABYTE X570 Aorus Xtreme (AMD X570) Motherboard Review

Today we venture into the world of the new extremely high-end AMD X570 motherboards, most of which cost as much if not more than their X299 counterparts, which says a lot in itself. With the X370 and X470 chipsets, costs were a bit lower since there was no PCI-E 4.0, but now with the new technology, boards cost more if they implement the new technology. However, AMD's high-end CPUs with comparable performance to their Intel counterparts as well as this increased base cost made many motherboard ADVERTISEMENT vendors re-evaluate their whole "only Intel extremely high-end motherboard" practices, and they have launched some very top notch motherboards. The Xtreme is one from GIGABYTE taking aim at the extreme high-end of the market, so let's see what it has to offer.

Inno3D GeForce RTX 2070 Super Twin X2 OC Review

Better than the Founders Edition? Let's find out. Inno3D is the final add-in board partner to pass through the labs as far as the GeForce RTX 2070 Super is concerned. It makes most sense to look at the RTX 2070 because this Super variant enjoys the largest performance boost compared to its non-Super predecessor. Going by our results, one ought to see an extra 15 per cent framerate for not much more money.

As usual, Inno3D has multiple models based on the same GPU - seven, in fact - and jumping up the financial stack brings with it beefier coolers, faster speeds, and even all-in-one and discrete watercooling.

The company knows that pricing is sensitive on this GPU, especially since the launch of rival Radeon RX 5700 (XT) cards from AMD, so it has sensibly sent in a price-to-performance model in the form of the Super Twin X2 OC model.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2019 Review

Kaspersky is short on bonus features, but the core antivirus engine is a class leader, particularly with zero-day threats.

Logitech G915 Premium Wireless Gaming Keyboard Review

Now let's talk a little bit about the software that Logitech is offering. The Logitech GHub is actually the best software offering from the big peripheral companies that I have used so far. GHub is very easy and straightforward to use. It is laid out in a way that is pleasing to the eye and intuitive in design. As you can see, the G915 has a plethora of different keybinding settings that you can set. You can set commands to open applications or bind macros to your keys to do things in other applications like OBS or Discord. The G915 also sports multiple profiles that you can switch on the fly using the M1-3 buttons on the top of the keyboard. Each of these profiles can be completely different. You can also turn Game Mode on to disable the windows key.

Oculus Quest Review: VR for the Everyman

Virtual reality is amazing but there?s no escaping the cost. PC-based VR is expensive, requiring not just the headset and tracking kit but also a PC powerful enough to run it all. Oculus has an answer: the Quest is poised to change the game on consumer VR and if you've been on the fence, now is the time to hop down. This is our review of the Oculus Quest.

Patriot Viper RGB DDR4 32GB 3000MHZ CL15 Quad-Channel Kit Review

The Patriot Viper RGB 32GB DDR4 3000MHZ CL15 kit may not lead in terms of performance but thanks to its 5 RGB lighting zones, customization software, mainboard RGB sync compatibility and good OC headroom it does represent a very good deal.

Roccat KAIN 120 AIMO Gaming Mouse Review

Roccat was looking to create the best possible “click” for their mouse. They call this their Titan Click. However, this attention to detail inspired them to improve the wheel, the firmware, the ergonomics, and the sensor. Has it all paid off, is the Kain 120 AIMO their best “feeling” and performing mouse to date? Well, I’ve been a stern Roccat mouse user for coming on 8 years now. Kone Pure LTD, Kone XTD, Kova, Kone Pure, Tyon, I’ve had them all; albeit the Tyon and Kone XTD have been my long-term go-to mice. Come on Roccat, it can’t be better than all of those?

Features
Roccat Owl-Eye optical sensor with 16,000 DPI
Accurate 8,500 DPI Pro-Optic (R8) sensor
AIMO Illumination – RGB backlighting and lighting effects

Silicon Power Bolt B75 Ultra-Thin Portable SSD Review

As the Armor A75, the Bolt B75 does feature a military-grade shockproof casing that is quite light and also acts as a heatsink for the internal SSD. Being based on a SATA 6Gb/s internal SSD interface, the drive is limited a bit in terms of reads/writes, even before the cache fills up, but for regular backup tasks that do not involve usage of very big files, this should be a non-issue.
