Battlefield Hardline: tested with 23 GPUs (including frametimes)

Hardline is the latest addition to the popular Battlefield series. Instead of the military setting of the previous games, this game is all about the world of crime (fighting). In single-player mode you're on the side of the police, in multiplayer you can also do your bidding as a criminal. Bank robberies and hostage situations, chases and of course the necessary shootouts are what this game is all about. The game uses the Frostbite 3 engine, just like Battlefield 4.

Corsair H100i GTX Review

We test and review the all new Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX Series Liquid cooler. An all-in-one liquid CPU cooler for cases with 240mm radiator mounts. This updated revision CPU cooler is compatible with Corsair's LINK software. This allows you to program, customize and monitor this all-in-one liquid cooling solution for your processor. Armed with two SP120L PWM fans and a nice 240mm radiator the performance should be really good, and with Corsair's LINK built in, you can monitor temperatures, adjust cooling performance and customize LED lighting directly from your desktop.

You know, in the world of CPU coolers nothing ever stops developing. These days you can pick a hundred different heatpipe based coolers, where many are shaped, formed and priced the same. The better heatpipe based coolers are good though. Next in line are LCS systems (liquid cooling), the entry level products are affordable, easy to install pre-fab liquid cooling kits. We've seen and tested many of them as Corsair, Asetek, CoolIT and so on all have interesting kits.

Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 Motherboard Review

There is no doubt that the Haswell-E and X99 are high-performance computing platform parts. With 40 lanes of PCIe available on all but the lowest Haswell-E CPU, quad x8 SLI or Crossfire becomes a reality so does a large(ish) case in order to fit all the components. In contrast, there are quite a few consumers that want a smaller footprint … Read more.

Kingston SSDNow KC310 960GB SSD Review

You may not have thought it possible (we did but we didn't expect it to happen for quite some time) but solid state drives (SSDs) are actually gaining ground on regular mechanical hard disk drives so most manufacturers now offer 960GB models at rather affordable prices. The good news however is that there are even 1.6/2/3.2/4TB models currently available (there's even been talk for 6/8TB models) and although their prices are set very high since these are not aimed at regular consumers but rather large enterprises (some 4TB models cost around $30k) this means that eventually such capacities will reach all of us. Today in yet another worldwide first we will be taking a very thorough look at the latest SSDNow KC310 SSD which offers 960GB of space and is the only model in that particular line (at least currently).

Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti to use GM200-310 GPU

According to Videocardz.com, Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 Ti is expected to feature 6GB of GDDR5 memory and will be based on a GM200-310 GPU. Despite the different GPU SKU number, the Geforce GTX 980 Ti should have the same specifications as the recently launched Geforce GTX Titan X graphics card, but with 6GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with the same 384-bit memory interface. This means that the GTX 980 Ti will most likely pack 3072 CUDA cores, 192 TMUs and 96 ROPs.

TSST TB050PA Portable Charger Review

The TB050PA is another portable charger from Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology (TSST). It is essentially a lower capacity version of the TB100PA, with a smaller 5,000 mAh capacity. This means it is also cheaper at £24.99 – but is it worth buying ahead of its bigger brother?

Zalman Z11 NEO Case Review

The Z11 NEO is what the Greek word "NEO" suggest. It’s "a new or revived form of" the earlier generations of the Zalman Z11 series of case that have been very popular for quite some time. While the Z11 has been around for a while the Z11 is a much better improved updated and redesigned NEO looks better and gives more with a price that in earlier days would have cost a builder three times what this case costs now. What really sets off the Zalman Z11 series is the puff out serviceable gills on the sides that make it look like a stealth fighter bomber or a high dollar Lambo theme case. The case has a cockpit like window on the side that makes it even more appealing in a man vs. machine sort of way. The Z11 NEO in big letters on the side harkens some back to the days of the older Zalman LQ-1000 Z machine series that made it look serious on anyone's work space. The branding lets onlookers know that your computer is something different than the average everyday work a day business machine. Having the Z11 NEO is an Artistic statement as much as a very well built case, so let’s take a look at what the NEO brings out in the new and revived version of the Zalman Z11.
