Amkov AMK5000S Sports Action Camera Review

You can spend a small fortune on an action cam or you score this Amkov AMK5000S for £70 in the UK. Indeed Gearbest, the company that sent us the AMK5000S, sells the cam for US$70 which is even cheaper. That’s pretty amazing when you consider the package includes a waterproof housing and a selection of mounts. If you want to attach the Amkov to your car windscreen or surfboard you’ll probably have to invest in some after-market accessories, however the package sets you on the path to action cam happiness.

EnGenius ENS1750 Outdoor Access Point Review

If you have been following the wireless networking world then you must be familiar with the advancements manufacturers have made around the 802.11ac standard. It has been quite some time since Broadcom released the BCM4706 chipset which is found in most AC1750 units. To be exact, it entered the market in May 2012, more than three years ago, advertising a total 1,300 Mbit/s data transfer speed on the 5 Ghz band. But just because the AC1750 standard is not the latest it does not mean that it is useless. When EnGenius asked Benchmark Reviews to take a look at the EnGenius ENS1750 Outdoor Access Point featuring the aging AC1750 standard we were a bit skeptical at first, but that all changed as we went along our testing.

Fractal Design NODE 202

The Fractal Design NODE 202 can be purchased bare or with a 450W SFX PSU. Its aim is to deliver all the space you need for a compact but potent gaming rig, while also sporting the looks to go right next to your TV or even gaming console. We fill the chassis and fire it up to see if it can hold its ground in both usage scenarios.

Jabra Sport Coach Wireless Earbuds Review

As the summer dwindles down, some may stil continue their training into the fall and winter, especially if those are your peak athletic seasons. As discussed previously, music can make a big difference on our workout, and we even found that a headset can make or break it too!

MSI Z170A XPOWER Gaming Titanium Review

We review one of the most talked about motherboards when it comes to design, the MSI Z170A XPOWER Gaming Titanium edition. It probably is the most interesting looking motherboard released ever thanks to a new PCB coating. Combined with a few extra's and an overall high class build MSI might have a true winner here. A motherboard that promises to deliver a high amount of features and provide that Skylake processor the full infrastructure is needs for a kick-ass gaming PC. Dressed to kill and with added benefits like USB 3.1, multiple M.2. slots and the fastest DDR4 support the product will shock and awe. These motherboards can (well must) be paired with new Skylake-S series processors. We'll quickly dive into the two most import ones. Skylake Core i5-6600K and Core i7 6700K processors for the desktop platform have been released. We test both processors, yet have separate reviews on each of these processors. A new chip, a new package meaning both of them are Socket 1151. The new series Skylake processors are energy efficient, quite powerful and this need to be paired with a new motherboards series. For you guys that means the Z170 and h170 range. In this review we test the Core i5 6600K. An unlocked Skylake processor that has four cores and slim a 92W TDP,that is lower compared to Haswell with its 95W TDP, thanks to the new and smaller 14nm fabrication process. The quad core CPU has 8 MB L3 cache, and an integrated memory controller that supports both DDR4 and DDR3 memory. The Z170 and H170 series motherboards will all be offered with DDR4 though. For the gaming community two processors are the most important. The Core i7 6700K has Four CPU cores with Hyper-Threading, 4.0GHz frequency, 4.20GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency. Then there is the Core i5 6600K with four cores, 3.50GHz frequency and a 3.90GHz maximum Turbo Boost frequency, both based on the new LGA1151 socket package. Skylake is the code-name used by Intel for the 14nm processor micro-architecture under development and is the successor to the Broadwell architecture.

So then, the MSI Z170A XPOWER Gaming Titanium edition motherboard, it certainly is a mouth full of words, but when you see it for the very first time, trust me you will be pleasantly surprized as it is a very feature rich product that will look terrific in any DIY PC build thanks to the new Titanium color PCB coating. PCB coating is a fairly new technology and a trend which you will see in the upcoming years on many products.

OCZ Trion 100 480GB Solid State Drive Review

The solid state drive market is a extremely competitive right now. We’ve seen many low-cost drives that have great performance and features. OCZ has recently launched their Trion 100 series of solid state drives ranging from 120 GB - 980 GB capacities. This drive is the first from OCZ that uses all of 100% Toshiba IP. Other OCZ drives since Toshiba’s acquisition have made us of Toshiba NAND, but the Trion 100 also uses Toshiba’s new controller. You could call this a Toshiba drive that is branded OCZ as Toshiba really does not sell consumer-based drives. The 480 GB version of the Trion 100 that we are reviewing today has sequential read and write speeds of 550 MB/s and 530 MB/s respectively. Since this is an OCZ drive you also get a 3-year ShieldPlus warranty. Let’s check out this drive and see what it can do!

Silverstone Kublai KL06 Case Review

One of the best cases I have ever reviewed was the Silverstone Temjin TJ08-E. While that might be a rather bold statement given the appeal of the Raven RV02 and some of the more exotic cases in the Hardware Asylum archives the reason is simple. It was compact, had a clean design, excellent cooling and was very usable. Sure the case had some drawbacks but overall it was a great case.

In this review we will be looking at another case from Silverstone that is very similar to the TJ08-E, the Kublai KL06. The KL06 is the first MicroATX cases in the Kublai series which has been famed for following classic styles and designed with great layout efficiencies. As with all Silverstone cases the KL06 also features their signature positive pressure design to prevent dust collection and can be configured to handle a variety of systems.

Tesoro Kuven Pro 5.1 Gaming Headset Review

Today we are going to take a look at one of the latest headsets from Tesoro, the Kuven Pro. It seeks to differentiate itself from the competition through a ‘real 5.1 surround sound’ offering which features a series of four separate driver units within each earcup to mimic a surround sound speaker set up. While we have seen a few similar headsets in the past, they have proved less popular than more compact virtual surround sound models.
