TechPowerUp: Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB Review

The Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB is a beefy chassis that ships with four 140 mm ARGB equipped fans. It also allows for big air cooling or long AIO builds. As with most Thermaltake cases, it has a few unique selling points that may help justify its price tag and are worthy of a closer look.

MMORPG.com: Warlander Review

As the somewhat spiritual successor to the Xbox hit Happy Wars, Toylogic attempts to recreate that feeling of light-hearted castle warfare with Warlander. Unfortunately, Toylogic missed the mark this time around and delivered a mostly generic title that seems more focused on monetization than interesting gameplay.

TechPowerUp: Building a Keyboard 12: MOONDROP Switches, Akko MOD 004 Kit, Epomaker Sailing Keycaps

Audio specialist MOONDROP has stepped into the custom keyboard space with two unique mechanical switches. We put both to the test today in a custom keyboard build, pairing them with the Akko MOD 004 CNC-machined aluminium kit in a 96% layout as well as Epomaker's "Sailing" keycap set for a refreshing blue color scheme.

The Guru of 3D: Be Quiet! Pure Power 12 M - 850W ATX 3.0 PSU review

Today we’re putting the new be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W power supply on our test bench. The company is mainly known for its PSUs and Hilbert has recently reviewed the Dark Power 13 1000W. On the same day (24th January), the Pure Power 12M series was officially announced. We reviewed the predecessors, be quiet! Pure Power 11 (in 2018, it earned the “Recommended” award) and Pure Power 11 FM (in February 2022, also “Recommended), and we wonder what has changed in the meantime for the Pure Power 12M. The main difference is the full ATX 3.0 compatibility.

ThinkComputers: Kingston IronKey Keypad 200 Hardware-Encrypted USB Flash Drive Review

With the popularity of cloud storage services like Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive, you might wonder why anyone would have any use for a USB flash drive anymore. Well, there are definitely some instances where making files available in a cloud service might not make sense for a variety of reasons, and one of those reasons might be data security. Thankfully Kingston knows this and in this review we will be taking a look at their IronKey Keypad 200 hardware-encrypted USB flash drive. The Keypad 200 offers 256-bit XTS-AES hardware encryption paired up with an alphanumeric keypad for easy access to the drive contents via a PIN.
