In this review we will be looking at a product that bridges the gap between a casemod and factory pre-mod as a benefit to silent air cooling enthusiasts. The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is a collaboration between Antec and Noctua to create a new product using the best from both companies.
Choosing a small form factor keyboard often requires you to accept some compromises to get to a smaller size. The OK-M is one of the most compelling budget mechanical keyboards available today. With a few upgrades (mainly switches), it can easily compete with boards twice its price!
In this review we will be looking at the Aorus X870E Elite X3D Ice motherboard. This board features an AMD X870E chipset supporting AM5 processors and comes with the X3D refresh features and the extremely swank ICE color combo.
In this review we looked at the Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black. This is a chromax.black edition of the popular NH-D15 complete with a black surface finish, chromax.black NF-A14x25 G2 fans. This popular variant has been powering high performance gaming builds for over 15 years. Systems have changed a lot since then making the occasional upgrade and revision a welcome change.
In terms of performance the DDR5-5600Mhz module featured in this review worked extremely well with predictable results. Overall, the timings were higher than expected but, still offered a good level of performance up to the 6000Mhz limit we found during our overclocking tests.
The chassis is extremely well designed and has a ton of options allowing you to build just about any type of system you want. If you are into full DIY watercooling the case supports up to a 420mm radiator in the motherboard tray along with 360mm or 280mm radiator on the included fan panel. Assuming you are in the low rent category you can easily replace the full waterloop with AIO coolers or even standard heatsinks and be happy with your build.
In this review we will be looking at a new fan design from Thermaltake called the SWAFAN. These fans are designed to be high pressure radiator fans with swappable fan blades allowing the user to decide the direction of the airflow and are available in both 120mm and 140mm variations.
The Yeyian Agile NL to be very similar to other popular microphones used for streaming. Audio quality is good and the included accessories are everything you will need to setup a recording studio either in a dedicated sound stage or at your gaming desk.
As a music soundbar the Cyber Acoustics CA-2890BT USB Speaker is better than your onboard sound or even your phone but it lacks the power to rival true Bluetooth speakers. Still, I found it handy on my laptop and plan to add it to my travel kit going forward. If only it had a travel bag!
This keyboard is packed with features and targeted at a lower price point for budget minded gamers. Let’s see if the Spark Series 2000 has what it takes to lure you to a TKL keyboard!
