KitGuru: Corsair Frame 4000D Case Review
Corsair claims its new Frame 4000D case gives new meaning to the word ‘customisation'. It’s a case that can change and grow to suit your needs with almost limitless options, such as billet aluminium motherboard trays, interchangeable front panels and upgradeable front I/O. It also comes equipped with Corsair's new InfiniRail fan mounting system. It's designed for reverse connector motherboards and multiple 360mm radiator installations and optimised for high airflow and powerful cooling. That all sounds great on paper, but how does it work in the real world? Let's find out.

IgorsLAB: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Vanguard SOC review - What can the RTX 5080's smaller sister, which only has a different chip, do?
The MSI RTX 5070 Ti Vanguard SOC follows the same principle as the previously tested RTX 5080 Vanguard SOC: MSI offers a slightly cheaper alternative to the SUPRIM series without making any major technical compromises. Here too, the inner workings remain almost identical, the difference lies in the soldered chip. Visually, the Vanguard SOC relies on a slightly different design language and thus appeals to a broader target group, while the SUPRIM continues to rely on a classically elegant appearance.
ThinkComputers.org: ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Steel Legend OC Graphics Card Review
The specific card we have today is the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Steel Legend OC. As the name implies we have a slight overclock with the game clock being 2210 MHz and the boost clock being 2700 MHz. On top of that you have a triple-fan cooling solution with RGB fans, a full-coverage metal backplate, and sleek white design and much more!

TechPowerUp: Team Group MP44Q 2 TB Review
The Team Group MP44Q comes at a highly attractive pricing of $120 for the reviewed 2 TB model. Thanks to the MAP1602 controller, performance is impressive and can match famous drives like the Samsung 980 Pro. Only when the SLC cache is exhausted, this QLC-based SSD will fall behind.
KitGuru: Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB Gen 5 SSD Review
The last Samsung drive we looked at, the 990 EVO Plus, was a kind of halfway house between Gen 4 and Gen 5 as it used a Gen 4 x4 / Gen 5 x2 interface. Now, however, we have Samsung's first full-blown Gen 5 x4 consumer drive to hand, the SSD 9100 Pro. Let's put it through its paces and find out just how fast this drive is.
