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 this review we took a look at a new AIO cooler from Levelplay called the Combat Liquid 360HUD. This is a very interesting AIO in that its not your typical ARGB LCD screen cooler but rather a nicely assembled AIO with just the right amount of feature and performance to be good.
In this review we will be looking at the MSI MEG X870E ACE Max gaming motherboard. The MSI MEG line of motherboards are the highest tier product in each segment offering the most features and the promise for better performance. This board offers premium aesthetics with sleek black metal covers and heatsinks with polished gold accents to evoke a sense of prestige.
The be quiet! Dark Perk Ergo is a strong debut into the light weight, wireless gaming mouse arena. While it doesn’t scream for attention with RGB bling, it does offer pure performance in gameplay. Both comfortable and responsive, this is a compelling choice for anyone seeking an uncompromised wireless gaming mouse.
From a performance standpoint I found the STRIX B660-I to have an amazing out of box experience and operated with both 4800Mhz and 6200Mhz DDR5 memory without fail and responded well to basic memory tweaks and overclocks. Unfortunately, ASUS did not enable K level overclocking or BLCK tweaks.
The Cooler Master XG850 Plus Platinum Power Supply offers the best of both worlds with an 80Plus Platinum Rating for best in class power efficiency while the 850w level hits a sweet spot for power consumption in most common builds
In this review we will be looking at the new SETA H1 from SilverStone. The SETA H1 is a sister case to the SETA Q1 where the Q1 is designed for silent operation and features a solid front bezel and sound proofing on the inside. For the SETA H1 the focus is different and favors a higher form of airflow using dual 160mm fans breathing through a fully meshed front bezel and addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting.
The ROG Strix Scope NX TKL comes in several flavors. You can get the standard black color scheme or the attractive Moonlight White you see here. Both designs come in a standard or deluxe edition with the deluxe including a matching wrist rest.
In this review we will be looking at the ARES DDR5 Desktop memory from Lexar. These modules are available in dual channel memory kits with a total capacity of 32GB. If you happen to be part of the growing movement against RGB lighting you will be humbled to know that the ARES DDR5 modules are currently RGB adverse and feature a very conservative yet stylish heatspreader design.
One of the great things about high-speed memory is the ability to tweak and tune the modules to suite your system. While our Viper Venom modules ran perfectly at 6200Mhz that speed could be easily increased with a minor timing change and voltage bump.
