Creative Sound Blaster Tactic 3D V2.0 Rage Wireless Headset Review

Creative were once the king of the desktop audio market, but in recent years, there have been so many new names come and go, that it’s been getting harder and harder for even the most established brands to maintain a larger part of the market. That’s not to say Creative fell into obscurity, if anything, they’ve always been making a lot of great products, from their impressive soundcards, to desktop speakers; I myself have a set of Creative speakers on my desk! We review a lot of great audio products here at eTeknix HQ, so I’m very happy to welcome Creative into the mix, as it’s one of the first products I’ve reviewed , so it’ll be great to see how they hold up against the rest of the market.

A great gaming headset isn’t exactly hard to find these days, there’s just so many amazing ones to choose from right now, but Creative have gone all out with their new model, packing it full of features that certainly caught my attention. We’ve got powerful 50mm FullSpectrum drivers, wireless technology via a USB dongle, with 16 hours battery life, SBX Pro Studio audio processing for fully customisable audio, 16m colour customisable LED lighting, 3D surround processing for virtual 7.1, VoiceFX, Scout Mode and more. The headset will support PC, Mac and PlayStation 4.

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB 2400MHz Quad Channel DDR4 Memory Kit Review

With every new DDR memory release comes a decline in operating voltage and a decrease in heat output. In the transition from DDR2 to DDR3 and now DDR4, we’ve seen voltages drop and the need for large memory heatsinks are no longer necessary. This allows memory brands to release high-performance memory kits in compact low profile form factors that require minimal cooling. Crucial Ballistix Sport LT is a great example of this – it boasts high frequency yet it still has a low profile design making it ideal for use in compact system builds and with large tower heatsinks that are definitely going to be necessary to cool some of Intel’s swanky new Haswell-E Core i7 5XXX processors.

Element Gaming Neon 250 Review

In our second outing with Element Gaming, we take a look at another wallet friendly headset with a slight difference. Other than the slight aesthetic change compared to the Neon 300, we get the same 50mm drivers that provide v7.1 surround via USB. So what's different? In short, a retractable microphone and a vibration feature. But is there more to the changes than what meets the eye?

Element Gaming Xenon 700 Review

Sticking to the noble gas theme with their audio stable, we take a look at Element Gaming's top audio offering, the Xenon 700. With its skeletal microphone and large earcups, some may recognise this particular design from a well-known peripheral manufacturer to which we will call Razer. Element Gaming have stamped their mark on the Xenon 700 with their blue and black design while cramming in the 50mm drivers and pulsing LED lighting we have seen in its cheaper stablemates. Being the 'premium' offering from Element Gaming, we also find plush leather coated earpads, and a high quality microphone.

Fractal Design Venturi HP-12 PWM and HP-14 PWM Cooling Fans Review

Have you ever put a lot of effort into creating something, only to have someone else come by and say, "Hey, this already exists!" This is commonly phrased as reinventing the wheel, and refers to a duplication of a method or an object that has already been created or optimized by others. For example, if I told people I was in the middle of inventing a portable power source, which could be recharged and reused just by plugging it into an outlet, you would probably smack me, pull out your nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries, and tell me how many years I am behind. However, if I were to say there was a new battery technology offering years of power, decades of shelf life, you would probably turn your head to at least hear me out. If I could claim these batteries were fully rechargeable, and made from some readily-found materials, you would probably be asking me why I have not patented this yet. Thus, before I continue to write this review, I will finish submitting my patent for the newest battery technology using acetic acid and kerosene. This technology does not actually exist, but proves while you may not necessarily want to reinvent a new idea, improvement is always something to keep striving for. All kinds of technology can be optimized, whether it is to reduce power consumption, reduce heat loss, or increase performance and efficiency. Today is a review of the Fractal Design Venturi fans, both of which offer some new optimizing features focused on reducing noise, increasing efficiency, and increasing performance. While these may be small changes, I can only wonder if these have created a huge difference. Hopefully my curiosity and yours will be relieved as we get into the Fractal Design Venturi HP-12 PWM and HP-14 PWM.

Lightroom CC/Lightroom 6

Adobe has just announced Lightroom CC and Lightroom 6, the latest versions of its professional photo cataloguing and editing software. They're actually the same program, but Lightroom CC is the version that's integrated into Adobe's subscription-based Photography Plan, part of its Creative Cloud service, while Lightroom 6 is the 'perpetual licence' version which you pay for and use in the old-fashioned way.The advantage of Lightroom CC is that you get all the benefits of the Creative Cloud system, including online storage and display and the ability to synchronise collections with mobile devices like phones and tablets.

Moopti dio Reversible USB Cable Review

Most people don’t give USB cables a second thought, it’s just one of those things that’s there when you need it or not. Most people have numerous USB cables hanging around, I know I have to have at least fifty, if not a lot more than that floating around doing nothing in drawers, in the attic and under my desk as well. I don’t know about you but it seems that every time I go to plug a USB cable in I do it backwards or upside, whatever the case may be, but it’s annoying to have to fiddle around to get it in the correct way. The USB cable is one of those products that’s just there, there’s nothing special about it at all, until now that is. Moopti has just announced the dio Naked Reversible USB Cable that’s up for pre-order on their site and/or you can back them on KickStarter. Moopti graciously sent me over a sample for review and it’s one of those things that I have to wonder how I’ve lived my life without it thus far. The dio is so simple but yet one of those things that should be on your must-have list of accessories… Read on to learn more…

Super Flower Leadex Platinum 2000 W

Super Flower meant to rock the boat and has without a doubt done so with the Leadex Platinum 2 kW that is only compatible with 230 VAC mains since a normal 115 VAC socket cannot deliver the amperes the unit requires at full load.
