ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti OC Review

In our quest with this new series of graphics cards, our next offering takes the form of the highly revered ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti OC Edition. As its name suggests, this RTX 2080 Ti is factory overclock - the GPU boost clock out of the box sees it hit 1665MHz, while the memory has been left untouched. Along with a nudge up in performance we also receive a triple fan cooling design which the ROG team has revised somewhat; we can now benefit from Axial-tech Fans.

Cypher2 Sound Design Tools for Logic Pro Review

FXpansion recently released the new Cypher2 software instrument for all major DAWs. It comes packed with hundreds of new 5D touch sounds and sound design capabilities, so we couldn’t wait to give it a run for Logic Pros. The fully-featured instrument features an impressive array of effects along with a powerful oscillator section and more. But at the same price as Logic Pro X itself, is it worth it?

EWin Flash Series Computer Gaming Chair Review

After spending some time in the Flash XL, it becomes clear that a good chair is important, especially if you spend much time on your computer. The Flash XL, like the Champion, is whisper quiet. I could shift my weight from side to side, forward and back, and move all around and not hear any sounds. For me, that is a big plus. I can't stand a noisy chair. I can say that once you use a chair like this, there is no going back. And again, as I experienced with the Champion, the quality and workmanship on the Flash XL are excellent.

FiercePC Imperial Lightstorm Gaming PC Review

FiercePC has a very strong reputation within the custom PC building community. As a brand, they place a strong focus on products which are, essentially, some of the best the market has to offer. With this in mind, we take a look at the Imperial Lightstorm. A brand new system design from FiercePC that features a plethora of goodies inside from Thermaltake.

We’re honestly not joking either. This system is crammed almost top to toe in Thermaltake cooling products. Many of which we have reviewed previous in one capacity or another and have always been impressed with their performance. In addition, it should be noted that thanks to advancements in TT’s technology, all of the cooling and lighting effects are fully controllable by Amazon Alexa. Yes, you can tell Alexa to change the colour and it will work!

To, therefore, see a system build that is so heavily backed by this technology is interesting. It is, however, just the icing on the cake.

Gryphon Wireless Router Review

The 802.11ac generation of wireless routers will likely go down as one of the most innovative times. No other period of time has spawned so many products that fill the shelves of every Best Buy and Microcenter today. Through the years, going all the way back to early 2014, we have seen countless solutions, some better than others in performance, some with unique user interfaces and the latest trend; Gaming. That being said, I was recently approached to take a look at a new kind of router, pitched as user-friendly and secure, the Gryphon is looking to change the market.

MSI Vigor GK70 Review

Today we'll be taking a look at their Vigor GK70 with Cherry's MX Red mechanical switches - it can also be purchased with Speed Silver too. The mechanical switch choice isn't the only standout feature of the GK70, and one such element is how it integrates with other MSI products.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Founder Edition Graphics Card Review

The RTX cards have been smashing benchmarks here at eTeknix HQ all week. The flagship RTX 2080 Ti is certainly the jewel in the Nvidia crown with its ferocious performance figures. However, the RTX 2080 Founders Edition is one of the ones I’m more excited about, promising big performance at a price point that’s a little easier to manage. Of course, it also still packs new features like Ray Tracing, DLSS, and more, making it an interesting upgrade from the previous generation.

Razer Blade 15 Review (i7-8750H & GTX 1070 Max-Q)

It's Razer's next generation Blade laptop, with an all new design. But is it worth £2149? Since Intel launched its 8th Gen mobile processors back in April, we have seen a whole host of laptops sporting the hexa-core i7-8750H CPU. Rather than just refreshing its existing 14in Blade laptop, however, Razer used the opportunity to launch something entirely new – the Blade 15. Not only does this mark the first time Razer has released a 15.6in laptop, but it also marks a significant shift in design for the Blade family, with much thinner bezels and an overall squarer look.

Seasonic PRIME 600 Titanium Fanless 600W Power Supply Review

If there is something I have enjoyed from living on my own, it is the sound of silence. No, I am not referring to the song by Simon and Garfunkel, though I do enjoy it too. Instead, I have relished the fact I am the only person to make noise within my four walls. It is not like my parents or my sister have been really loud or anything, but something about a house being a place of rest in silence is something I appreciate. In addition, if I ever want to make noise myself, I do not feel bad making sounds as it does not bother anyone else, besides for maybe my neighbors. To be fair, I often sing or make random noises while gaming or just using my computer, so it is possible I was the actual noisy one in my house, haha. On the other hand, the quietude also makes me paranoid when I hear other noises, especially in the middle of the night. All in all, I really enjoy the stillness of living on my own. When it comes to computing, I think it is safe to say there are many people who want the same. Whether it is a desktop or laptop, unintended noise emissions is one of the least desirable things from a system. Today, we have another product to make for a quieter system, which is the Seasonic PRIME 600 Titanium Fanless 600W. This fanless power bringer is supposed to keep your modern system up with extreme efficiency while making no noise. Let us see what that looks like in today's report!
