Azza Storm 6000 Review

The Azza Storm 6000 comes in two color choices and offers a whopping five fans (four of which are RGB), E-ATX support, the ability to install large radiators and potent hardware; all while keeping the price pretty low. Will the case hold out the storm or will its four Hurricane RGB fans rattle the cage?

Fnatic Clutch 2 Gaming Mouse Review

The latest gaming mouse from Fnatic is in the eTeknix office at last. Admittedly, this one has been on the market for a little while now. However, we’ve heard great things from gamers and were eager to see what all the fuss was about. The Fnatic gaming team use these mice while they continue to win tournaments and eSports events around the world. If it’s good enough for the pros, it must be pretty fantastic. Equipped with an ultra-fast Pixart 3360 optical sensor, the mouse will track smoothly with up to 50G acceleration and 12000 CPI. With premium-grade Omron switches, a great Pixart sensor, and plenty of bonus features, the Clutch 2 is ticking all the right boxes.

GeForce RTX 2080 and 2080 Ti - An Overview Thus far

It's been a long time coming but NVIDIA is ready to announce their new consumer graphics card next week. Looking back in the past, they’ll start with the GeForce GTX or what I now believe will be called the GeForce RTX 2080 series. In this weekend write-up I wanted to have a peek at what we’re bound to expect as really, the actual GPU got announced this week on Siggraph already. There’s a number of things we need to talk you through. First of names and codenames. We’ve seen and heard it all for the past months. One guy at a forum yells Ampere, and all of the sudden everybody gossiping something called Ampere. Meanwhile, with GDDR6 memory on the rise and horizon, a viable alternative would have been a 12nm Pascal refresh with that new snazzy memory. It would be a cheaper route to pursue as currently the competition really does not have an answer, cheaper to fab however is not always better and in this case, I was already quite certain that Pascal (the current generational architecture from NVIDIA) is not compatible with GDDR6 in the memory interface.

Back in May I visited NVIDIA for a small event and talking to them it already became apparent that a Pascal refresh was not likely. Literally, the comment from the NVIDIA representative was ‘well, you know that if we release something, you know we’re going to do it right’. Ergo, that comment pretty much placed the theory of a Pascal respin down the drain. But hey, you never know right? But there also was this theory. Another route would have been Volta with GDDR6. And that seemed the more viable and logical solution. However, the dynamic changed, big time this week. However, I now need to go back towards February this year where I posted a news-item then, Reuters mentioned a new codename that was not present on any of NVIDIAs roadmaps, Turing. And that was a pivotal point really, but also added more confusion. See, Turing is a name more related and better fitted to AI products (the Turing test for artificial intelligence).

GOODRAM IRDM Ultimate 240GB NVMe SSD Review

GOODRAM is a brand of Wilk Elektronik which was established in 1991. So, even if you haven’t heard of them before, they aren’t new to the field of memory products. They started out as a distributor of memory products and in 1996 they became the largest distributor of memory products in Poland. Then in 2003, the company launched their GOODRAM brand for memory products. The IRDM product lineup was launched in 2017 and it is one of them which I take a look at today.

Lian Li Strimer Review

Remember that Lian-Li recently released its Strimer, that 24 Pin ATX cable extender which has been embedded with a full addressable RGB lighting module, well we received one for a quick peek. The Lian Li Strimer Cable LED can be customized via your motherboard software via an addressable header pin. Motherboards with addressable RGB capable connection can easily control, customize and configure their Strimer lighting. Please watch the video below first where I cycle through the animations with the help of the included controller.

However also included is a controller PCB, so the mandatory RGB link from your motherboard is not a requirement, this unit can operate all by itself. The Strimer has 10 built-in lighting options that can be selected with the built-in controls so even those without new motherboards can experience the brilliant allure of Lian Li’s Strimer RGB cable.

Logitech POWERED 7.5W Wireless Charger Review

Logitech often works with Apple to introduce new accessories for Apple devices, and in early August, Logitech announced its latest product designed in collaboration with Apple, the new POWERED wireless charging stand for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.

POWERED is an upright charging stand able to charge a compatible iPhone in either horizontal or landscape orientation. Made from a thick, heavy plastic material with a rubber coating to add grip, the POWERED has a horizontal rectangular back supported by a sturdy, angled base that offers just the right amount of stability.

PNY GeForce RTX 2080 (TI) XLR8 series leaked by PNY

PNY accidentally reveals full specifications of upcoming GeForce RTX series. PNY GeForce RTX 2080 XLR8 Both cards which were leaked by PNY are non-reference cards with factory-overclocking. The XLR8 Gaming series features RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 cards. The datasheets released by the company confirm the specifications we posted yesterday. These cards are not running on stock settings, hence TDP values are not the same as for reference models. The placeholder data shows 1000 and 800 USD price tags for RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 2080 respectively. Those prices are without a doubt a placeholder.

ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO Mechanical Keyboard Review

Sometimes, I think the hardest thing to do in life is to admit you are wrong. Last week, before my colleague Jonathan Kwan and I set off on a road trip with a few of our friends, we were discussing plans as to how we would meet up before we leave. At first, he told me that we would all assemble at my place before heading out. However, the next thing he said seemed to be the opposite: "You can go pick up two people and then go to the car rental to pick up the car". When I put the two statements together, it made no sense to me why I would need to pick anyone up. I did not even want to leave the house, but I knew I had to pick up the rental car. After some explanation, his points did make sense, but I still felt slighted because I was under the false pretense from the first statement. It may have been a hot day when we were talking, but in these situations, it takes a cool head and a mild temper to step back and realize your misconceptions. Another example is something I have mentioned in previous reviews about my generally negative opinion towards TTC switches. I have used two keyboards with them, the GAMDIAS GKC1001 and the Tesoro Gram XS. In both cases, I had poor experiences with their switches, especially with a weak tactile feedback. However, today's review unit of the ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO is a new keyboard made with switches in collaboration with TTC. Will this keyboard and its switches make me eat my words? Let us read on to find out!

Samsung C49HG90 Review

As a gaming monitor, the Samsung C49HG90 delivers a unique experience that can’t be duplicated by any other display. It has ample speed thanks to a 144Hz refresh rate and FreeSync 2, plus very low input lag. Color is excellent thanks to a quantum dot backlight and accurate DCI-P3 native gamut. The VA panel and zone-dimming make a real difference with HDR and SDR content alike. Entertainment-focused users will want to give this monitor a serious look.
