ASUS Cerberus MECH RGB Review

With the Cerberus MECH RGB, ASUS offers a gaming keyboard with mechanical switches and standard layout. As with all other high-end gaming keyboards these days also this one features a backlight and there are different macro modes. Apart from that ASUS chose to use very solid plastic for this keyboard, which adds a lot to the stability and the overall feel.

ASUS ROG STRIX B360-F Gaming Review

The STRIX B360-F Gaming is a similar offering to that of its counterpart the STRIX Z370-F Gaming, albeit with less expansion options and at up to 40% cheaper. Sound interesting? Let's check it out!

Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P Review

A bigger, brighter take on the venerable 212. When we asked "which CPU cooler are you using?" it was no surprise to find that a few folk were rocking a Cooler Master 212. The original may be getting old, but newer variants are readily available and at under £30 the 212 remains a viable option for many users.

But what if you need something a little more extreme? That's where the Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P comes in. Described by the manufacturer as "an engineering masterpiece," the MA620P is said to adapt the favoured 212 heatsink design into a dual-tower form factor better suited to enthusiasts.

Corsair K63 and K63 Wireless Gaming Lapboard Review

Wireless and mechanical: it is a combination that is currently featured on very few keyboards. Corsair introduced a version of its K63 gaming keyboard at the CES in January, which works without a cord, the K63 Wireless keyboard. Not only does it prevent messy cables on your desk: its compact size makes it ideal for mobile use. The manufacturer has also realised this: in addition to the keyboard, an accessory came onto the market which enables you to use it on the couch, the K63 Wireless Gaming Lapboard. In this review we look at both products.

Corsair continues to expand its popular K-series of mechanical gaming keyboards with new models. Last year, for example, the manufacturer came up with the Corsair Gaming K63 keyboard, a small, 'tenkeyless' keyboard without a numpad. Corsair had previously made a smaller version of the K70 with the K65. The K63 offers the same compact size, but is aimed at people with a smaller budget. The plastic frame, with the ledge above the keys and the glossy Corsair logo, is very similar to the keyboards in the cheaper Strafe series. Corsair has however added media buttons.

Cougar Minos X5 Review

The members of the Cougar Minos series were thus far more budget than high-end gaming peripherals. The Minos X5, however, is quite an icebreaker in this term, featuring the best optical sensor currently on the market while being reasonably cheap with a $49.99 price tag. It also features fully customizable two-zone RGB lighting, Omron switches rated for 50 million clicks, and a customizable back panel.

EVGA Z10 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

EVGA has been teasing the Z10 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for years as Jacob Freeman at EVGA first posted a tweet of the keyboard during Computex 2015. At Computex 2015, Jacob said that the release date of the Z10 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard was to be Fall of 2015, but as that release period passed and time went by, consumers began to wonder when and if the Z10 would be released. EVGA would continue to show off the Z10 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard at various trade shows, saying it would eventually be available, but never confirming an exact date. Once a couple of years had gone by, it looked like the EVGA Z10 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard might actually be vaporware, a product that is teased or announced, but never actually produced. When I was told that the Z10 Mechanical Keyboard had been shipped to me for review, I was actually a bit skeptical, but low and behold, EVGA recently put the Z10 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard into production and as of today, it available for consumers to purchase at a retail price of $149.99...

EVGA Z10 Mechanical Keyboard Review

EVGA is best known for its graphics cards, and for good reason. EVGA is the number one NVIDIA authorized board partner in the U.S. and they have been for a long time. Like many brands in the PC enthusiast space, however, EVGA has started to branch out beyond just graphics cards and today they have a wide range of items in their product stack, ranging from motherboards and notebooks to peripherals and power supplies. Despite being in the peripherals game for a relatively short while, however, EVGA already has five gaming mice in the market, and it just introduced its first mechanical keyboard, the Z10.

Like most products released by EVGA, the Z10 is designed with enthusiasts in mind.

Finally mainstream Coffee Lake: Intel B360 and H370 motherboards

Yesterday Intel released a new series of processors as well as the long awaited B360 and H370-chipsets for cheaper motherboards. These motherboards can be paired with Coffee Lake processors, which finally allows you to build a cheaper system based on Intel's 8th generation. The new chipset mostly offers the same possibilities as Z370 with some new features.

In October 2017, during the introduction of Coffee Lake, many people were pleasantly surprised. For the first time in a decade the number of cores in mainstream processors manufactured by the blue giant increased again. Finally, because although Intel's eternal quad-cores were certainly not slow, competitor AMD showed that more cores also appeals to a considerable part of the mainstream audience. It did not take long before the largest desktop processor manufacturer released more than four cores in a socket 115x-package.

Gigabyte MZ31-AR0: EPYC Motherboard With Dual 10Gb/s LAN, 16 SATA Ports, Seven PCI-E Slots

When it comes to our AMD EPYC Linux testing the past number of months, one of the most common test requests was to test the Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 motherboard, which is more workstation oriented than traditional server with plenty of PCI Express slots for suiting multiple graphics cards, etc. Over the past month I have been testing out this single-socket AMD EPYC motherboard and overall it has worked out fairly well.

HP EX920 1 TB M.2. SSD Review

HP has released the ultra-fast new M.2. EX920 SSD series, the rather properly volume sized 1024 GB (1 TB) model which we will review is seriously fast and furious with a rated sequential read speed of up to 3200MB/s, write performance does not disappoint either, at up to 1800MB/s. Yes, HP is entering the high-end and enthusiast class with their new SSDs. The specs are fantastic, but will HP be able to deliver a unit that manages to impress? M2 is the interesting form factor, these small storage units are evolving from being "just as fast" as a regular SSD towards double, triple, quadruple, quintuple, sextuple, septuple and perhaps in the future even octuple that performance. It comes in a different package, M.2. Using the PCIe lanes interface it is so much more capable as it can deal with way more bandwidth using PCI-Express lanes. As such, M.2 solutions are intended for high-end and enthusiast class motherboards and laptops. The EX920 series M.2 SSDs are a stunningly fast series of storage technology as they offer enthusiast class performance as you are looking at a product that reads well over 3GB/sec and writes close towards 2 GB/sec. These new M.2 units use the NVMe protocol and that means storage technology at millennium falcon hyper-fast speeds while remaining competitive in pricing.

MSI B360 Gaming Plus Review

With the Coffee Lake launch, last fall Intel also launched their new Z370 chipset. Like in the past the Z370 chipset is Intel’s flagship platform, but unlike in the past, they didn’t also launch it with other mid-range and budget chipsets. In fact, it wasn’t until this week that the others were available. That’s a long wait for those of you who want something cheaper or just have no need for some of the Z370 overclocking features. So Tuesday the H370, H310, and B360 chipsets launched and the first one to come through the LanOC office is the MSI B360 Gaming Plus. Today I’m going to check it out and see how it compares to the Z370’s we have taken a look at before. I’m especially curious to see if this might be the sweet spot for budget builds right now to help save money to pay for the expensive video cards and memory that you are going to need.

MSI B360 Gaming Pro Carbon Review

We have one more B360 motherboard up for review, the MSI B360 Gaming Pro Carbon. Again a very price friendly motherboard that can house a fast 6-core Coffee Lake processor. With a full PCIe x16 graphics card slot, full speed M2 SSD capability and six SATA3 ports, these B360 motherboards might become the new mainstream.

MSI designed a B360 motherboard with some pretty terrific looks man, and hey compared to the H370 chipset you'll forfeit another few PCIe lanes and a bit of RGB bling (some is still there though). However, if you do not demand tweaking options, pair it with the new Core i5 8600 (non-K), and you'll have the ability to create a demonic beast of a gaming rig with the right graphics card. With a B360 chipset you get many of the features and functionality from that H370 and Z370 platform, yet scrap the tweaking and overclocking functions. This effectively means that K model processors are not something you should spend your money on as you cannot OC them easily anyway. Any B360 chipset based motherboard, however, offers plenty of features for both internal and external connectivity. For example, you will spot things like a DP & HDMI port, USB 3.1 ports, six SATA3 ports, and even a full speed M.2 slot. There is a Gigabit Ethernet, 8-channel HD audio.

MSI GT75VR 7RF Titan Pro Review

The GT75VR is a classic big gaming laptop that stops at nothing in the pursuit of providing the most powerful portable gaming experience you can get. With a 120Hz screen, GTX 1080 graphics card and Intel Core i7-7700HQ, it is sure to make mincemeat of any games you throw at it.

Netgear Orbi mesh system blankets your home in fast WiFi Review

Historically, I have flitted between many different routers. I used AirPort Extreme for a while, and then a variety of third-party options. A couple of years ago, mesh WiFi became a popular buzzword. I kind of passed it over, thinking it was more of a marketing gimmick, but I recently got the chance to review one such mesh WiFi system.
I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Read on for my my hands-on with the Netgear Orbi mesh WiFi system.

Prynt Pocket Review

Prynt Pocket, priced at 150, is a portable printer that's designed to work with the iPhone, allowing you to print small 2x3 photos wherever you go thanks to ZINK paper, which does not require printer cartridges to work.

There are several of these iPhone-compatible miniature printers on the market, but the Prynt Pocket is unique because it's designed to connect to the iPhone using a Lightning connector, a feature that has both benefits and downsides.

SanDisk Extreme Pro and WD Black M.2 NVMe SSDs 1TB Review

It is not often that we review two separate SSDs within the same report, however this is a rather unique opportunity. Back in 2016, Western Digital acquired SanDisk in one of the largest flash memory purchases ever; a very rare occasion for a company to actually purchase a flash manufacturer. Both companies had very strong customer support and both excel in storage. SanDisk has always been known for its Extreme Pro line, whereas Western Digital had its WD Black line, both being the cream of the crop in each companies storage. Western Digital aims directly for PC Gaming and content creation where SanDisk takes care of the enthusiast segment….and also gaming and content creation. Enter the SanDisk Extreme Pro and Western Digital Black NVMe SSDs.

WD Black 3D NVMe SSD Review

Western Digital and subsidiary SanDisk have a new NVMe controller to use with 64-layer NAND. Is the new combination enough to topple the company's largest rival?

What is the secret to success? In the SSD business, it's vertical integration. That means designing all of the important components so they can work together to deliver the best possible performance and reliability at a low price point. In the past, only Samsung, Toshiba, and Intel produced their own flash and SSD controllers. Now, thanks to subsidiary SanDisk, Western Digital joins the club.

WD Black and SanDisk Extreme Pro M.2 NVMe SSD Review (1TB)

They’re here, they’re finally here! The drives that we have been waiting for, for what seems like so long. At least we at the SSD review have been waiting so long for. But, what drives are they you might ask? Today, we have in our hands two tiny M.2 SSDs that could have just what it takes to challenge the Samsung 960 series for best in class value and performance. These drives are such a big deal that we were even flown to WD’s facilities in Milpitas, California to get the low down on what really went into the development of these products. What are these drives? None other than the brand new WD Black and SanDisk Extreme PRO NVMe SSDs. Yes, it’s been a long time coming, especially for the new SanDisk Extreme Pro, and we can’t wait to tear up the benchmarks with these bad boys.

Western Digital WD Black 3D NAND SSD Review

Western Digital is bringing 3D NAND to their high-end consumer SSD family with the launch today of two new NVMe SSDs featuring SanDisk's 64-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory. As with the SATA SSDs that first brought 3D NAND to their consumer portfolio, Western Digital is releasing the same drive under both their WD and SanDisk brands. Under the stickers, the hardware is identical.

The names are recycled and familiar: the WD Black and SanDisk Extreme PRO. The first WD Black SSD was Western Digital's first consumer NVMe product. It used a Marvell controller and 15nm planar TLC NAND, and ended up near the bottom of the performance rankings for NVMe SSDs, with no appreciable performance advantage over SATA SSDs for heavier workloads. The SanDisk Extreme PRO name hasn't been used on an internal SSD for quite a while, but it carries a strong legacy: the original SanDisk Extreme PRO was a top-tier SATA SSD with MLC NAND and was competitive with the Samsung 850 PRO. The SATA SanDisk Extreme PRO hit the market right before the 850 PRO and was the first consumer SSD to carry a 10-year warranty, forcing Samsung to follow suit with the 850 PRO.

Western Digital WD Black NVMe SSD Review

Western Digital is a still is a major player in the storage market, but when it comes to solid state drives WD has not really broken into the gaming and enthusiast market that well. Their current solid state drive offering was late to the game by all accounts and was not all that impressive given what else is out there. Being late to the game and not having those high-performance parts that gamers and enthusiasts want has made way for other companies (specifically Samsung) to dominate this market. Well today Western Digital is releasing a high-performance NVMe SSD that is targeted directly at gamers. It is the WD Black NVMe SSD, which has been built completely in house by Western Digital and boasts read and write speeds of 3400 MB/s and 2800 MB/s respectively. Is this the new must-have NVMe SSD for gamers and enthusiasts? Read on as we find out…
