APH Networks: SilverStone SUGO 14 Review
In early 2020, before everything was shut down, I went out for chicken wings with a friend. Originally, we were going to a place near my house, but we ended up going further near the center of Calgary. As we walked into the bar and took a seat, we looked around and noticed we were the youngest people in the bar as well as the only Asians there. After scarfing down approximately thirty wings each and having a good chat, we decided it was time to leave. At this point, I noticed there was an older Chinese man sitting by himself. We were about to pay when the waitress asked us if we could help this man out, because she was unable to understand him. As I noted in my Lucid LD03-AF review, my Chinese is rudimentary at best, while my Filipino friend ironically has better working Chinese than I do. As such, when I went over to this man, it turned out he only spoke Cantonese. In my broken words, I was able to grasp what he wanted to order and I translated it to the waitress. Despite my poor Cantonese, I did at least have a translation app to help with this. One thing I learned from this experience, apart from the importance of knowing other languages, is that appearances do not always match expectations. My friend and I may have been the most Asian people in this place, but it was a bit of a challenge to help this man and I was really bailed out by a phone app. When SilverStone asked us if we wanted to review their SUGO 14, I immediately thought of the last mini ITX case, the Sugo SG13, which was a capable but still limited mini ITX case. However, with recent tiny cases like the Cooler Master MasterBox NR200, we can see that small does not always come with compromise. So where does the SUGO 14 fall in today? Let us read on to find out!

KitGuru: PC Specialist Vidar Prebuilt System Review w/ 5900X & 6800 XT
PC Specialist has such a deep love for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla that they named this PC Vidar after the Norse God of Vengeance who features in the game. That sounds like a questionable move as Valhalla has suffered from poor reviews… however the PC itself is a fine piece of work that can play the latest AAA games with little effort.

KitGuru: Gigabyte RX 6900 XT Gaming OC Review
Today we are back with our first review of a custom RX 6900 XT graphics card. AMD first introduced the 6900 XT in December last year, but it has taken until now for a custom card to pass through our labs. The model in question is Gigabyte’s RX 6900 XT Gaming OC, outfitted with a triple-fan, triple-slot cooler as well as dual-BIOS functionality. How does this compare to AMD’s reference design?

OverclockersClub: GPU Thermal Testing Scripts Experiment
The most important characteristic of these scripts is that they work with the different versions of Fire Strike, Time Spy, Port Royale, and can even run with the ray tracing turned off on Port Royale. Adding support for more tests should not be too difficult, as the formatting for the definition files is quite modular, but I have not felt it necessary to add more at this time. For this article, I tested just with Fire Strike Extreme and Time Spy, which both run at 2560x1440. Exactly like the CPU Thermal scripts, there is a five minute warm-up period at the start, then the test period for one hour, and then the cooldown period for the one hour length of the test period.
