This drive is designed to combine Micron 3D NAND with a value conscious design to deliver features DIY upgraders and builders are looking for. The Crucial BX500 is available in 120GB, 240GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities which encompass nearly the entire mainstream SSD market.
Overall there is improved thermal performance and the lighter viscosity helps the compound spread better and promote more metal to metal contact further improving performance.
Having used a variety of overclocking ready Z390 motherboards I can honestly say that the Apex is one of the most refined offerings and the perfect dual purpose motherboard for the hardware enthusiast looking to have a 24/7 machine that they can overclock on the weekends for them juicy gold cups.
In this review I’ll be giving you an overview of one of the most impressive power supplies I have ever used, the SilverStone Strider 1500w Titanium. This is an 80 Plus Titanium power supply offering the highest efficiency rating available.
If you are looking for a smaller case that offers no compromise and maximum versatility look no further than the Cooler Master Masterbox Q500L. Your efforts will be rewarded with one of the most interesting cases Cooler Master has ever produced.
The MasterBox NR400 can be purchased with an optical drive bay or without if you have no need for an external 5.5” bay. Both versions are black and feature a single tempered glass window and an attractive racing stripe effect on the front bezel. The overall effect is subtly sporty and I like it.
The SilverStone LSB02 seems like a swiss army knife when it comes to a multifunction control box and covers all of the major features you would want. What is really great is that you can use the LSB02 in systems with and without existing RGB and can expect to find a lighting mode that compliments the system or completely replaces it.
Overall I really enjoyed using the Aorus Z390 Xtreme Waterforce. It tested well, has a nice layout and a great set of features. The waterblock is a wonderful surprise and really pushes this product beyond what a typical enthusiast would expect.
When it comes to power supplies there are a few things to consider. First and foremost select the power range best for your build. If you are putting together a high-end SLI rig using a 12 core CPU with 30 hard drives there is a good chance a 600w PSU isn't going to cut it
Before CES 2019 I was asked to test two dual channel Ballistix memory kits and I jumped at the chance. For these tests I was focused on overclocking and divided my efforts into three categories with the goal of monitoring frequency and total speed. The results may surprise you.
