In The Lab: MSI X570 Motherboard Preview with the Godlike and Ace

The next generation of AMD Ryzen 3000 processors is edging closer to being released, and well see the results on July 7th. But alongside the new 7 nm processors we have a brand new motherboard chipset.

ORIGIN PC EVO17-S Laptop Review

The EVO series is a member of Origin's thin-and-light family of gaming laptops. The words "thin-and-light" aren't often used when describing powerful gaming laptops, but considering Origin has managed to squeeze both an Intel 9th generation 6-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX series GPU into the EVO17-S, a machine that is less than an inch thick, the moniker fits. However, at about 6.6lbs the machine isn't exactly light either, though we digress...

Reolink Argus Eco Security Camera Review

Reolink has been hard at work designing and building new wire-free security solutions. Over the last few years, they have gone from a mostly wired/NVR based company to having a full complement of wire-free options. The latest of these solutions comes just a month after we reviewed their Argus Pro. The Eco, being one of their latest, takes the wire-free form factor a new direction offering a "bullet" design with all the functionality of past units.

Speaking on this, the Eco offers wire-free operation with a built-in rechargeable battery and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi for increased range. IP65 certification warrant this device can withstand both dust and water while the 1080p image sensor offers clear streaming. 100-degree viewing angle, 33-foot night vision, and PIR motion sensing are attached features of the Argus Eco and add to the onboard recording and two-way audio capabilities.

Scan 3XS Vengeance Hydro X RGB Review

Getting acquainted with Corsair Hydro X cooling. The launch of Corsair's Hydro Series H50 a decade ago can be viewed as a watershed moment for all-in-one liquid coolers. Since then, anyone who's anyone in PC hardware has joined the fray, leading to soaring sales of products that were once deemed niche. Corsair has in effect made enthusiast cooling solutions more accessible to the mainstream, and in 2019 it is taking the next step forward with the introduction of its eagerly-anticipated Hydro X.

Intended to extend the appeal of custom loops beyond hardened enthusiasts, Hydro X serves as a one-stop destination for all the liquid-cooling paraphernalia needed to create a machine that's guaranteed to turn heads. Having a single source for your CPU block, GPU block, pump, reservoir, radiator, fittings, tubing and coolant sounds hugely convenient, particularly for mainstream users who've never felt ready to attempt something quite so bold, so is Hydro X any good?

The AMD Athlon 200GE is a crazy good budget processor for your PC

Best answer: Given the current price, the AMD Athlon 200GE is an excellent choice for a super budget build with strong integrated graphics. If you have the budget, though, the Ryzen 3 2200G will be a better performer, especially if you're not going to add a dedicated GPU.

Excellent value: AMD Athlon 200GE ($57 at Amazon)
If you have the budget: Ryzen 3 2200G ($87 at Amazon)
