ASRock Z170 Extreme 7+ Motherboard Review

Since the introduction of the Z170 chipset we have taken a look a quite a few different motherboards, but none from ASRock. They were kind enough to send us over their top of the line Z170 Extreme 7+ motherboard, which sits as the top board in their Extreme Series.

BeQuiet Dark Rock TF Heatsink Review

On the test bench today we have BeQuiet's Dark Rock TF heatsink - a top-down dual tower heatsink which features a pair of BeQuiet SilentWings fans and stands 130mm tall. The Dark Rock TF heatsink is built around six 6mm diameter heatpipes which link a large primary aluminum fin stack and smaller secondary set of aluminum cooling fins to a chunky copper heatspreader below. The 135mm PWM fans are arranged in a push-pull configuration, exhausting downwards so related motherboard CPU VRM components benefit from the cooling air flow.

Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI (LGA 1151) Motherboard Review

The Z170 chipset and Skylake CPU’s has been around for just over a week now and we have seen pretty much everything that each manufacturer has to offer. We now know that the huge connectivity options presented by the Z170 chipset that some manufacturers have included not on, but two or even three M.2 slots and multiple USB 3.0 ports. Along with those, you also have USB 3.1 Type A and Type C as standard and the vast majority of the Z170 series.

Today on the test bench, we take a look at one of the cheaper options on the market, the Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI. Don’t let the low MSRP of £120 fool you, this motherboard has more features than you can shake a stick at and is expected to outpace the competition at a higher price bracket.

HBT+ Turbine 700 Case Review

In the world of computer hardware it is pretty rare for you to find a new company breaking into the industry. Sure, there have been several over the years and a good number of them have been wildly successful however, as you can imagine, the climb is a delicate balance of products, marketing and reaching the right niche at the right time. Handling each segment depends on the product for instance cooling is all about performance while fans tip between noise and airflow. When it comes to cases there is no clear direction but the general consensus is to concentrate on cooling performance and noise control.

Originally hot swap mobile racks were used in large servers to rapidly respond to hard drive failures and to be able to replace the affected hardware easily.

Today Icy Dock delivers the mobile rack TurboSwap, a model which we would like to test for you in the following review. And maybe this product find its way to your computer case as well.

Inateck MercuryBox Bluetooth Speaker & Mobile Products Review

Inateck is a brand name I’m seeing more and more recently. While they don’t make a lot of big products, such as PC cases and graphics cards, which we see plenty of here at eTeknix, they do make a lot of smaller lifestyle products that many of use day-to-day. From mobile devices, to desktop computers, Inateck has an interesting range of accessories and products to help improve your usage experience. Today we’re going to be looking at their very promising MercuryBox Bluetooth Speaker, but Inateck were also kind enough to send us their new 2-Port Rapid Charger and a nifty waterproof bag (more interesting than it sounds).

First up, let’s take a look at those cool little accessories. The first is the Inateck 2-Port Rapid Car Charger, which is pretty much what it sounds like, it’s a car cigarette lighter adaptor that provides you with a couple of USB sockets; but there’s also a nifty little extra!

Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse Review: Masterful Precision Control

Logitech's Performance MX Mouse series has long since been a favorite with enthusiasts and workstation professionals alike. Introduced to the market several years ago, it was high time Logitech revisited and refreshed their flagship general purpose mouse with the latest technologies and creature comforts. And boy what revamp this is. Whether you consider its expanded connectivity options, super-sinister sounding "Darkfield Laser" tracking technology, slick "infiniscroll" capable speed-adaptive scroll wheel, or it's super geek cool polygonal textured finish in its thumbrest area, just about everything was amped-up in this MX reincarnation. And that caused us a hard-stop pause for a double-take of Logitech's latest mechanized rodent.

Rosewill WolfAlloy Case Review: Fear The Claw

Do you remember your very first case? I sure do. I must have spent a whole week researching and trying to find the right distributor which would have it for the cheapest price. Back in early 2000's there weren't that many case manufacturers as there are now, so finding variety was a pain. A lot has changed in the past … Read more

The Compact NAS Battle: Synology DS414slim vs. QNAP TS-453mini

Today we have two 4-bay compact NAS solutions on hand from Synology and QNAP. Both are designed for home users with limited space by utilizing 2.5” drives. Although both of these products set out to achieve the same goal, they go about achieving them in different ways which makes comparing them interesting...

Network-Attached Storage servers have become a commonly used bit of kit by home users over the past few years, as they provide a quick, easy and secure means of backing up important data.

They are very power efficient, allowing even home users to run them 24/7, though they can also be scheduled to turn on and off at certain times.

Typically desktop NAS devices are very compact, particularly the 2-bay and 4-bay models which take up less space than a shoe box.
