NikKTech: Scythe Mugen 5 Black RGB CPU Cooler Review

The brand new Mugen 5 Black RGB CPU Cooler by Scythe may not share the same impressive looks and cooling efficiency as the Mugen 5 ARGB Plus but thanks to its very good price/performance ratio and the Kaze Flex 120 RGB PWM fan it’s still certainly worth checking out.

BigBruin: D-Link EXO AC2600 Router with EXO AC2000 Extender

D-Link's DIR-2660 and DAP-1820 offer a great way to start your mesh network. As with many mesh networks, this setup can be configured with a wired backhaul which would help some of the bottle neck issues I mentioned, but most people are resistant to running wires. So where this unit shines is in its scalability. You can start with just one extender or add several to cover even more area. Also a big benefit of this mesh system is having a few Ethernet ports on the router.
