Neowin: Lenovo ThinkBook 14s Yoga review: The first ThinkBook convertible
Lenovo's ThinkBook 14s Yoga is the first convertible from the relatively new ThinkBook lineup, and it's a beauty. It takes some of the best from ThinkPad Yoga, and it leaves the rest behind.

Glob3trotters: Alpenföhn Glacier Water 280 mm AIO RGB
We have another AIO in our hands to play with and this one is from Alpenföhn. They were teasing this new AIO series of theirs for some time now and I must say that the wait has paid off – presenting the “Gletscherwasser” (Glacier Water) premium AIO water cooling solution with addressable RGB lighting. Even more interesting is the fact that this solution has been done in cooperation with the overclocking legend novel Roman “der8auer” Hartung.

Hardware BBQ: Noctua NT-H2 Thermal Paste Review
The Noctua NT-H2 doesn’t seem to be making an impression this will replace the NT-H1 anytime soon. But the NT-H1 is doing pretty good for now even with new CPUs and CPU coolers, both for air and liquid cooler. Same for GPU application. In the US, the NT-H2 cost a bit more than the NT-H1. So in long term, it makes sense to purchase one keeping in mind that it will be a while to finish a 3.5g syringe. But in comparison, the pricing in India is twice the price of NT-H1.

Anandtech: Rocket Lake Redux: 0x34 Microcode Offers Small Performance Gains on Core i7-11700K
One of the leading questions as to our original Core i7-11700K review was the validity of those results given that, as usual with launches, motherboard vendors push BIOS updates as we move closer to the official launch. At the time, we were testing on Intel’s microcode 0x2C, the latest version available to the motherboard vendor. Intel has since released microcode 0x34, and we have retested our results on this new update.

IgorsLAB: NVIDIA and DirectX 12 Bottleneck? MSI GeForce RTX 3090 SUPRIM vs. MSI Radeon RX 6900XT Gaming X and its own drivers
I have to preface today's post with a little paragraph first, as I want to take the whiff of sensationalism out of it. Nevertheless, you have to write about it

OverclockersClub: PowerColor RX 6800 Red Devil Review
PowerColor has once again heard the calling for a custom-designed card to maximize what the RX 6800 has to offer. Before even opening the box, just knowing PowerColor has used the same overall PCB design for the 6800 XT and 6900 XT, so we can expect only the best terms of performance compared to the other AIB partners. PowerColor isn't the only big player in this market, however. Any Red Devil card means serious business and this time it is no different. With that said we have this RX 6800 to talk about.

APH Networks: Cooler Master V650 Gold V2 White Edition 650W Report
It is approaching the one-year mark of our COVID-19 lockdown. Initially, I thought I would actually strive in this online environment, but little did know I would end up hating it. There are a lot of things we take for granted when we have them, but I honestly believe the transition from in-person to online school has had to be the worst one for me. Aside from not having access to any physical activities, many students are going through a more common issue referred to as “Zoom fatigue”. I for one have also found this to be a struggle as I endure hours of Zoom meetings almost every day, excluding the weekends. On Tuesdays in particular, I find myself going from one three-hour Zoom lecture, having an hour break, to another three-hour lecture. Not only this, but I personally find the lectures to be quite dry. Adding insult to the injury, one of these classes is also one of the most mind-numbing courses all business majors must take, business law. I do see some amount of effort put in by some of my professors to make the course seem interesting, but there are also many who seem to not care anymore. I can only assume they hate this method of education as well. Why am I telling you this today? Because my brainpower is lacking, but I have a new power supply to make up for that. Today, we have the Cooler Master V650 Gold V2 White Edition 650W, a mid-range power supply in the standard ATX form factor. On paper, this power supply seems fairly average, but will anything special shine through for this power supply? Keep reading to find out!
