Mad Shrimps: ECS LIVA Q3 Plus Mini-PC Review

The LIVA Q3 Plus mini-PC from ECS did not disappoint us at all, incorporating a capable piece of hardware in a very small chassis. The system feels snappy in most usage environments, the only slowness we have noticed being during application installs, due to usage of eMMC.

APH Networks: Thermaltake Riing Trio 12 RGB White Review

I recently have been watching many shows revolving around the famous chef, Gordon Ramsay. Aside from his very entertaining series such as Hell's Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares, it is genuinely interesting to see the more serious shows that show his cooking expertise at its finest. A great example of this is his Great Escape series, where he travels to a foreign country and learns the cooking techniques of different exquisite dishes. Some examples are when he went to India and helped cook a Biryani for a large wedding, or when he went to Vietnam and helped cook many great looking foods. I like the Great Escape series a lot because it shows Gordon Ramsay exposing himself to cooking styles he is unfamiliar with, but also his willingness to master the dishes placed in front of him. As nice as Great Escape is, I also like the series that sees him more in his comfort zone, The F Word. Here, he travels his home country and cooks dishes he is familiar with, proving his mastery and competence in the culinary world. I enjoy watching him cook dishes he has mastered over his many years of culinary arts because it shows how one man can do so much in his comfort zone. A little while back, I reviewed the Thermaltake TOUGHRAM XG RGB DDR4-4000 2x8GB memory kit, which was an example of Thermaltake going outside of their comfort zone to create a solid set of memory I still use. Today, Thermaltake is bringing us back to their comfort zone in cooling products with the Riing Trio 12 RGB White fans. Did Thermaltake affirm their competence with this set of cooling fans? Let us read on to find out!

eTeknix: SteelSeries Rival 5 Gaming Mouse Review

SteelSeries is one of the biggest names in the world for high-end gaming hardware. Theyve had a huge number of award-winning products over the ten years Ive been in this industry, and likely a few more beyond that too. Actually, Ive given them many awards myself in that time, and for good reason!
