2nd-Gen Core i7 vs. 8th-Gen Core i7

Today we're dusting off our old Sandy Bridge Core i7-2600K test system and pairing it up with a GTX 1080 Ti to see how well the seven-year-old processor holds up in the latest and greatest PC games compared to Intel's new Core i7-8700K. We know that the 2600K still has some fight left in it, but next year could finally be time for those equipped with the aging quad-core to make their long-awaited upgrade.

By the end of 2018, the GTX 1080 Ti is likely to be ousted by an even faster flagship GPU and as a result mid-range GPUs are expected to be speedie as well, which is likely to require more processing power than the 2600K can provide.

ASRock X299 Taichi Intel LGA 2066 Motherboard Review

Today we tested and overclocked the ASRock X299 Taichi motherboard. After the AMD Ryzen Threadripper ASRock X399 Taichi motherboard we now have the pleasure to test an Intel Core i9-7900X Skylake-X CPU on the ASRock X299 Taichi motherboard. As previously reported in the Intel OC Community, we were able to overclock the Core i9-7900X from 3.3 GHz to almost 5.2 GHz and this is an awesome result in this high-end range. Also great is the basic configuration of the ASRock motherboard, which we have already shown in the Unboxing Video.

Cooler Master MasterMouse MM520 Gaming Mouse Review

Cooler Master has seemingly killed the Storm series of peripherals in favor of names like Master and Maker in titles these days, but this is no indication that they are not above revisiting older ideas. What was once referred to as the CM Storm Spawn has undergone a transformation, which brings it up to today's level of what is expected in a gaming mouse. At the time, the Spawn was well appointed, but by today's standards, it just would not fly, no matter how attractive that ruby red top cover was. With just one glance, we find that we can see at least eight things about the design which have been improved upon, and should make the resurgence of the Spawn a success for Cooler Master. The Spawn did have quite a few limitations. It came with no LED lighting at all for starters, which has been addressed. The DPI was quite low, ordinary Omron switches were used, the sensor is a bit long in the tooth now, the onboard memory was not all that great in size, the scroll wheel was cheap looking and made of plastic, and even the weight changes with the newer version. All of these things fall into categories of improvements or fulfilling the desires based on the latest trends in what the market bares. Cooler Master may, in fact, be reissuing a product that did very well for them in the past, but it is easy to see they are not asleep at the wheel, trying just to put lipstick on the same old pig here.

Jabra Elite Sport Wireless Earbuds Review

The truly wireless earbud market is here to stay, and now more than ever we are seeing great advancements in what companies can offer. Jabra is no exception to this trend with the release of their Elite Sport earbuds. Designed to allow for greater freedom in the gym and while on the trails, the Elite Sports offer exceptional sound quality, comfortable fit, in-ear heart rate monitoring, and all-day power. Pair that with the popular Jabra Sport App, available on Android and iOS, and Jabra is right in the mix with other top brands. Following suit with many of its competitors, the Elite Sport are more durable than past earbuds. With a waterproof rating of IP67, the Elite Sport are sweatproof and waterproof up to 1 meter. Following registration, Jabra warranties the Elite Sport from any damage due to sweat for three years. At an MSRP of $249.99, they are on the expensive side when compared to similar wireless earbuds. However, they can be found on Amazon and Best Buy for a bit less and the Elite Sport do include some truly unique features.

Read on as we find out!

Razer Basilisk Gaming Mouse Review

Since the Basilisk is aimed mostly towards FPS, we have tested it in titles such as Quake Champions, Battleborn, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and DOOM. After calibration, the mouse performed excellent thanks to the modded PWM3389, which supports up to 16000 DPI, in increments of 50 and starting at a minimal value of 100. Considering that Synapse 3 is a beta software, we were surprised to find out that it was quite stable on our system and we have not experienced any crash during the test period. We are also seeing the Hypershift function which is similar to the Easy-Shift[+] employed by ROCCAT and layered LED lighting options in the Chroma Studio for even more interesting LED lighting effects.

VIZIO SmartCast M65-E0 4K UHD HDR Display Review

Not all that long ago, high definition 1080p image resolution was heralded as the biggest entertainment improvement since the DVD. Technology continued to tick ahead and, before Blu-ray ever truly became a household standard, ultra high-definition 4K (2160p) displays arrived on scene, and later High Dynamic Range. With Ultra HD Blu-ray and streaming video content now offered in Ultra HD, it makes sense to upgrade. In this article for Benchmark Reviews, we test the 65″ VIZIO SmartCast M65-E0 UHD HDR home theater display with Google Chromecast built-in.
