APH Networks: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror Review

It has been a couple of days ever since one of my friends has gotten into a relationship. With them entering a relationship, the rest of my friends and I have not really talked to them as much as we did about a month ago. Not seeing a friend can be seen as a sad moment, but you still must be happy for them and look on the brighter side of things. There is one absolute truth when it comes to your friends getting into relationships, and that is the opportunity to be the greatest third wheel known to humanity. Many people out there may say things like, “Why would you ever want to be a third wheel? Couples are so cringey.” My response is very simple: Just embrace the cringe and become more cringe than the couple ever could be. In the end, third wheeling is not all too bad. Spending time with your friends is still spending time with your friends, so there is still much to be enjoyed in your relationship with them. Now, what does this have to do with our product today? Not a whole lot, other than the fact I am still single and when I am not third wheeling, I want the assurance i still have a hardcore gaming PC. Today, Cooler Master has sent over their MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror for us to try out in my hardcore gaming PC. I am excited to test out this cooler as I have yet to install an all-in-one cooler in my system. Will this cooler perform well enough to keep my CPU cool? Keep reading to find out!

Neowin: Lenovo ThinkBook 15p review: A business PC for creators and some weird compromises

Lenovo's new ThinkBook 15p is a great all-around PC for creators, but it's specifically aimed at SMBs. It has a beautiful 4K screen, a minimalist design, a great keyboard, and more.

FunkyKit: Intel Core i9-11900K Beats AMD Ryzen 9 5950X in Geekbench Single-core Test

DON’T let these ‘single-core’ benchmarks mislead you! No body really cares about single core scores! I mean it’s 2021 … and multi-core is the only way forward.

Mad Shrimps: Razer Ornata V2 Hybrid Mecha-Membrane Gaming Keyboard Review

The Razer hybrid mecha-membrane switches do offer an interesting combination between the feeling of clicky mechanical switches and the cushioned feel of regular office keyboard keys. If the users in your vicinity do not mind the noise, the keyboard can be well used for typing in the office.
