Be Quiet! Dark Base 900 PRO Review

We review the all new be quiet! Dark Base 900 PRO. The new enthusiast class chassis from be quiet! is full of intricate little features like a wireless charger for your phone and a full window side-panel made out of tempered glass. Next to that it houses pretty much anything you need it to and is offered in a near tool free product. A lovely chassis design, fairly tool free, good space to work in and it has very quiet airflow plus is prepped for liquid cooling. It doesn't stop there though, the chassis has silent fans, a fan controller and yes, even a nice (and proper) RGB LED lighting system built in.

That's quite a lot of features I've already mentioned there, eh? Well, that is the concept and norm be quiet! lives by, it needs to be done right and as such they go into detail. Their last gen Silent Base series chassis have been a success. They wanted to offer something new, something that can compete with the big guns from Corsair and Cooler Master. Hence the Dark Base 900 was born, a name that could have easily been derived from a Star Wars movie

Best CPUs: Q2 2016

When building a custom PC, especially on the consumer side, the processor is typically second or third down the list of priorities, behind graphics (for gamers), storage or specific motherboard features. A lot of choosing a processor comes down to budget, whether there is a preference for one brand or the other, or if the performance is similar enough that the money saved on a cheaper model can be spent elsewhere. By contrast, when it comes to workstations or enterprise situations, it helps to have an accurate profile of the intended workflow in order to choose which platform is needed, how much memory or how many expansion cards will be used, and if the software can prioritize cores over frequency or vice versa.

In our CPU Guide for Q2 2016, we’ll consider certain environments and budgets and give you our pick of some of the best processors available, supplying data from our Benchmark Database where possible.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card Review

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 video card is currently the most powerful graphics card in the world according to our own benchmarks. The GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition is a great card, but many are waiting for custom board partner cards that feature higher clock frequencies and custom cooling solutions to become readily available. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 and GeForce GTX 1070 cards are still hard to find, but supply is slowly getting better. EVGA currently offers five different EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 models ranging in price from $609.99 for their base model all the way up to $699.99 for the Founders Edition. Today, we’ll be looking at the EVGA GTX 1080 SC Gaming that sports a pretty decent overclock straight out of the box and is priced right in the middle.
