Glob3trotters: Alpenföhn Glacier Water High Speed “der8auer” 240 mm AIO RGB
Today we cover the 240mm variant from Alpenföhn’s “Gletscherwasser” (Glacier Water) premium AIO water cooling solutions, that also possess addressable RGB lighting. This series includes a 360, 280 and this 240 in question but only the 360 and the 240 offer the ‘High Speed’ 120mm fans (2200 RPM vs 1600 RPM), which is our test sample as well. To further point out is the fact that this lineup of AIOs has been done in cooperation with the overclocking superstar Roman “der8auer” Hartung. The highlights don’t end here, since you also get a Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut thermal paste and you can even change the logo plates for the CPU pump.

APH Networks: Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2X Review
"I need everyone over six foot tall to come with me," I said as I was walking into the room at the University of Calgary. I am pretty sure most people were confused what is going on, but eventually someone asked the question. "Why do you need people who are six foot or taller?" "It is for hanging up posters around campus," I said. "I need tall people to reach areas I cannot reach." Just for reference, I am about 5'9", so having that extra three or so inches really go a long way when reaching up. In this case, size matters for this task, and I am sure you have run into situations in the past where physical attributes play a key role. The same goes with products we use, and sometimes saving some space goes a long way. Last year, I reviewed the Creative Sound Blaster Katana V2, a soundbar I said was well-designed and well-built. However, soundbars are all more often about maximizing sound quality while minimizing space, and if you ever find the already compact 150 x 367 x 367 mm subwoofer taking up too much room, Creative has your back. The Katana V2X is exactly the same product as the Katana V2, except the subwoofer is slimmed down to 116 x 250 x 423 mm. This means it keeps the tri-amplified design, Super X-Fi UltraDSP chip, built-in microphone, and improved overall sound quality compared to the original Sound BlasterX Katana. Of course, with the reduction of subwoofer size also comes the reduction in overall power from 126W RMS to 90W RMS. How much of a difference will this make? Read on to find out!
