ASUS Maximus VIII Gene Review

Cutting right to the chase, it's easy to see that ASUS is able to deliver an M-ATX motherboard that has all the overclocking chops the ATX form factor Maximus VIII Hero has, but in a smaller package. First, the performance delivered by the Maximus VIII Gene is going to fall in the same small envelope when running at stock speeds. That's a given in this day and age when motherboards are so well built and tuned from the factory. It's where you go from there that really makes a board such as this from ASUS' ROG product stack a worthwhile investment. If you do not plan to at least use ASUS AI Suite III or EZ Tune utility for some free CPU horsepower, you can still enjoy the rest of the features that make this board a great choice for a gaming centric build.

With Christmas just around the corner, what better time to treat yourself to a new graphics card? Time to put that old card to pasture and invest in a new GTX980 ti.

Asustor AS6202T Review

Today we have the new Asustor AS6202T on hand for some testing, the first Intel Braswell powered NAS to market. Packed with some serious power and loads of features Asustor knows the AS6202T is something special and they aren’t giving them away cheaply, in fact this is the most expensive 2-bay NAS money can buy...

Asustor has been busy this year as the company has released a number of new NAS products. Kick starting 2015 we checked out the Asustor AS5104T, an Intel Celeron 2.0GHz quad-core processor powered 4-bay NAS that offered loads of performance, making it very cost effective. The exact processor at the heart of the AS5104T was the Celeron J1900, a "Bay Trail-D" (22 nm), which as we mentioned provided plenty of grunt while consuming very little power.

Club3D R9 Nano 4GB HBMv1 Graphics Card Review

eTeknix has fought hard over the last few months to be able to bring you the Fiji articles that we have, some may have been a little late, but we have managed to get them out to you one way or another. Stock levels of the Fiji core and HBM have been extremely limited, so AMD had to make the tough decision to only allow an severely limited number of media samples and plumb the rest to the consumer market.

So here it is, our R9 Nano article supplied by Club3D. Right up until launch, we covered a lot about the card and something we knew was almost exactly how the card would look. An R9 Fury X copy with a fan instead of a water cooling solution. From there we took guesses at other specifications, would it feature the Fiji core or a cut-down version like in the R9 Fury with my money on the latter due to the massively decreased size and only single fan; I was extremely surprised when I found out that it uses a full Fiji core as found in the R9 Fury X.

Let’s find out how this miniature monster performs in today’s review.

Huawei Watch Review: A Premium Android Wear Timepiece @ HotHardware.Com

One of the sharpest, classiest, most alluring Android Wear smartwatches yet has arrived, and it's manufactured by a company that many American consumers may not be familiar with. The Huawei Watch is just about as good as it gets for a smartwatch currently. The reason? It's a watch first, and a smartwatch second. For those clamoring for a timepiece that looks like a tried-and-true premium wristwatch, look no further.

Huawei has made phones, tablets, and other gizmos for years, though it has had more success in Asia than in the U.S. Standing out in the U.S. marketplace is difficult. A company typically won't get very far without wide distribution and a massive marketing budget. The Huawei Watch is the type of device that can be the foundation of a widespread marketing push to advance the brand in this market -- it is a beautiful device...

In Win 805 Aluminium and Glass Mid-Tower Chassis Review

n Win, the modern masters of chassis design, are back once again. Today we’ll be taking a look at the In Win 805, a slightly more accessible product for the masses that takes many of the style points of the premium ranges that In Win offer. We’ve been blown away by their more creative products such as the S-Frame, H-Frame, H-Tower, D-Frame, Tao and many more, but it is nice to see these wonder-chassis filtering down into a more consumer friendly package, both in terms of price and ergonomics.

The 805 is designed to impress, with an aluminum frame which features LED highlighting, as well as glass panels on the left, front and right sides, giving you a great look at the chassis interior, perfect for showing off your build. There are three colours available, which colour coordinate the front I/O panel with the LED In Win logo on the side of the chassis.

MSI Z170A Gaming M7 LGA 1151 Motherboard Review

Our evaluation of the MSI Z170A Gaming M7 LGA 1151 motherboard is now online. If you are shopping for a quality motherboard, and overclocking is high on your priority list, this could be the board you are looking for.

MSI has changed gears as of late vowing to be the number one motherboard manufacturer in the "gaming" segment. While a "gaming" motherboard MSI is still focused on overclocking with this model. We look at the Z170A Gaming M7 to see if it brings MSI one step closer or a step away from that very goal.

Noontec ZORO II Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Review

For those of you that are not familiar with Noontec, they were founded in Australia in 2002 with a focus on fashion Hi-Fi headphones, HD media players, internet TV BOX and mobile accessories. Over the last few years they have released several headsets that balance the latest styles with a price point that is competitive in the market. While not typically associated with audiophile sound quality, their ZORO and Hammo lines of headphones have received pretty good reviews over the last several years. When they offered to send us their latest second generation Zoro II on ear Bluetooth 4.0 wireless headphones we were interested to see how they compared to other products in this category.

Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive Review

USB flash drives may be the to go solution for most consumers looking for a compact storage media device with plenty of storage capacity to carry their files around with them but portable hard drives are still unsurpassed in terms of capacity and in many cases even reliability. Sure there are even 1TB USB flash drive models currently available in the market many of which are much faster than any mechanical drive out there and offer exceptional MTBF numbers but when it comes to price per GB there's simply nothing better than a classic portable hard drive. This of course goes double now since the very first 4TB 2.5" USB 3.0 PHD models made their debut a couple of months back by Seagate and Samsung and although we weren't certain of just what to expect from these new drives the Backup Plus 4TB by Seagate arrived in the lab just in time to alleviate our concerns.
