ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 9 Motherboard Review

Intel has come a long way with their mainstream processor platform. The platform has largely seen stagnation in terms of core and thread count over many generations since the first Core series CPU that launched back in 2010 but last year brought a big change to the CPU giant.

AVerMedia Live Gamer Ultra and Live Gamer 4K Review

Its no secret that streaming video games on the internet is immensely popular now due to the rise of services dedicated to game streaming like Twitch and Mixer. A combination of commodity capture cards and software capture solutions have made it easier than ever to start streaming.

DREVO BladeMaster TE Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard Review

Thanks to an overwhelming crowdfunding campaign the retail version of the BladeMaster TE Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard by DREVO is finally with us.

Tenkeyless mechanical gaming keyboard sales are on the rise lately so as expected many both well established and rather new gaming peripheral manufacturers have launched their very own models lately in an effort to try and get a piece of the pie. Now although i never owned a tenkeyless gaming keyboard nor did we ever used one in the lab (aside of course the ones we test/review) it's a fact that there are many people out there who may not have enough space on their desks for regular sized keyboards (some may never even use the numeric keypad so that could also be a reason as to why they'd choose a tenkeyless model) or who may prefer a shorter distance between the keyboard and the mouse. With the help of crowdfunding via Kickstarter DREVO recently launched their somewhat unique BladeMaster TE and PRO Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboards (both wired and wireless) and today with us we have the wired version which we've been using for almost two weeks.

Founded by a group of Gamers, Programmers and Designers, DREVO is a young brand which focuses on gaming PC components, peripherals and accessories products. With the purpose of exploring new technology, new workmanship and providing a new experience, we continuously create super cool tech products. "Game With Cool Tech" is our slogan.

Gigabyte Aorus P850W Modular Power Supply Review

Gigabyte has one of the best-known gaming brands with their Aorus range of products. With a surprisingly large range of products on offer, they are a brand that has an excellent reputation. Not just for a name, but also the top level of performance that their various products bring to the market.

With this in mind, we take a look at their Aorus P850w. A fully modular power supply offering 850w of power. Based on this, it should, at least on paper, be an excellent option for nearly any gaming PC. In addition to all this though, it also comes with gold certification meaning a very high level of performance efficiency.

The crowded and competitive SSD market means the Gigabyte M.2 PCIe SSD 256GB is a decent option, but not necessarily an outstanding choice in a sea of equally or more desirable products.

MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Gaming Z Review

While writing this introduction, I just finished testing the actual product. I am still a little amazed. join us as we review out what could be the most exquisite GeForce RTX 2070 of them all, the Gaming Z edition from MSI. It cools great, it's incredibly silent and most of all, it's factory tweak out of the box extremely well. This card is definitely one to check out.

The 3rd RTX card also comes with the Turing architecture of the new GPUs, offering a fundamental change in the graphics card arena as next to your normal shading engine, NVIDIA has added RT (Raytracing) cores, as well as Tensor (AI), cores onto the new GPUs, and these are active. Is Turing is the start of the next 20 years of gaming graphics? Well, that all depends on the actual adoption rate in the software houses, they guys and girls that develop games and a dozen or so RTX games are in development and a dozen or so announced titles will make use of deep learning DLSS running utilizing the Tensor cores. For the new RTX series, it's mostly about Raytracing though. So welcome to a long row of RTX reviews. We start off with the reference cards and will follow with the AIB cards as for whatever reason NVIDIA figured it to be an okay thing for them to launch everything at once. First a quick recap of what's tested in this article, a bit of architecture and then we'll dive into real-world testing of course. NVIDIA last month announced the 499 USD GeForce RTX 2070. This 185 Watt car will have 2304 shader procs. It has a 1410 MHz base clock and a 1710 MHz boost clock for the standard founder version. The AIB cards are allowed to be clocked at 1620 MHz on that boost frequency. The card has 8GB of the now familiar GDDR6 memory running a 256-bit wide bus (448 GB/s), the price is 499 USD and 599 for the founders' version. That means the cheapest of cheap AIB card will sit at the 500 USD marker, realistically though we expect them all to sit on the 550~600 USD ranges.

Seagate IronWolf and Pro 14TB NAS HDD Review

We don't hear a lot from hard disk drive companies these days, at least not from the actual drive side. Seagate recently released updated the Guardian Series models with the 2018 update. The annual update is similar to what happened last year, a capacity increase and another step away from the competition.

The Guardian Series splits into three consumer-facing product lines, Barracuda, IronWolf, and Skyhawk. Today we're looking at the IronWolf line that actually splits again with Pro and non-Pro models. Now that we got past the complicated breakdown on what we're actually talking about today, we can talk about what's new.
