ASRock Z97 Anniversary Motherboard

The ASRock Z97 Anniversary is an inexpensive socket LGA1150 motherboard based on the Intel Z97 chipset, supporting the fourth and the forthcoming fifth generation Core i processors.

Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Review: Slim, light, flexible

The Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro features an aluminium body with an intriguing watchband hinge, an ultra high resolution display, and a bleeding edge Core M processor from Intel that promises decent performance with lower power consumption. At least on paper it ticks all the right boxes. It's also surprisingly thin and light. The 13.3-inch frame is just 14mm thick at its thickest point, and 1.19kg heavy, making it thinner and lighter than the latest MacBook Air.

Logitech Ultrathin Touch Mouse T630 for Windows 8 Review

The Logitech T630 mouse is essentially Logitech's version of the Microsoft Wedge Mouse. And like the Wedge, the T630 is a tiny, sleek-looking Bluetooth mouse. Unlike its Microsoft counterpart, however, the T630 is rich in features that any laptop or tablet user on the go will love.

The Crew Review

Like the last review I did, this one was pretty easy to see coming, especially after I said I was doing it and streamed some gameplay. The game is The Crew, an open world, MMO racing RPG set in the United States, the country. Okay, a recreation of the country to better fit the gameplay, but we are still talking about a game world that contains multiple cities that you can continuously drive between, passing many landmarks on your way. Definitely an interesting concept, which I will go into more detail on in the Gameplay section.

Like other MMOs, as you explore and play, you will encounter other players doing the same, and have the ability to join them, creating your own crew. Besides the advantages of playing with another human, their vehicles may also be better than yours, thanks to the leveling and loot systems that increase car power levels. Beyond power levels and gear, you also have to consider the car spec, but that has less importance in story missions (will explain that later).

There is a story to the game, having you seek vengeance for your brother's murder and your imprisonment. It also sets you on your course to leading the 5-10 Motor Club, which your murdered brother started, and taking down a corrupt FBI official. Along the way you will encounter language, violence, mild blood, and mild suggestive themes, which is why the game received a T rating from the ESRB. As usual, the media in this review has not been censored, so bear that in mind before reading further.

Thermalright Macho Zero Passive CPU Cooler Review

Everyone’s hearing is different and, as a result, sensitivity to noise can be vastly different among individuals. Environment can play a huge factor in this, as well. A 50 dB sound would not be considered a distraction in an office with ~60 dB ambient levels, but could be a major annoyance in your 35 dB ambient home office. Even then, that same fan would likely be perfectly fine during a BF4 campaign, but not so much while relaxing with some music. With that in mind, there are distinctly going to be some very different needs for different people and environments.

After a foray into the vacuum cleaner-like noise levels of CLCs, we are now seeing a bigger push into silence. While we have seen this push previously, it is becoming far more effective thanks to more energy efficient CPUs producing better performance with lower heat. This makes it possible for even enthusiast level CPUs to be cooled with zero noise. When I say “zero noise”, I am referring to passive cooling. The same passive cooling concept that has monumentally failed on enthusiast CPUs in the past is now completely viable thanks to the aforementioned CPU changes coupled with advances in cooling designs. With recent products we have seen, it is very obvious that air cooling engineers have not been asleep at their desks.
