ANACOMDA Eryx Tataricus RGB 4x16GB DDR5 6000MHz Memory Setup Review

Memory by stefan @ 2024-03-27 read/post comments(0)

In the case of the Eryx Tataricus kit, adding two more modules seemed to help not only with capacity (which basically doubled), but we have obtained in many tests results better than when running with only 32GB and we were surprised that the results at 6200 were better in some cases than the ones obtained at 6400MHz or 6600MHz while running two modules, at the exact same main timings and voltage.       read more

Crucial Pro 2x48GB DDR5 5600MHz Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2024-03-24 read/post comments(0)

The Crucial Pro 96GB kit is not a kit designed for overclocking and insanely low timings, but it is more oriented towards capacity in order to allow usage of multiple RAM-consuming processes at once such as virtual machines or for editing large video projects. You can be sure that by installing such a kit you will benefit from complete system stability, for both AMD and Intel platforms and you also have the choice of running two different profiles. read more

DeepCool LT720 360mm AIO Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2024-03-20 read/post comments(0)

The LT720 from DeepCool really impressed us in terms of ease of installation, the cool lighting effects of the pump cover (driven by the motherboard utility) but also regards to its performance. The AIO from DeepCool is trading punches with the other heavy hitters with the fans running at about 1670 RPM, so we get about the same performance for less noise levels (40.5 dBA), while using the same fan curve as with the other models which do not come with a dedicated controller. read more

GravaStar Mercury M2 Stealth Black Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2024-03-17 read/post comments(0)

The Mercury M2 is really on another level in terms of looks, while the large ventilated areas do also help with cooling quite a bit. If dust is accumulated inside, it won’t go on the internal board, which is protected via a semi-transparent enclosure and is easy to clean. The Stealth Black color of the plastic finishing would make you think the chassis is made from metal when looking from a distance, thanks to the quality of the build and it won’t create any creaking noises, the chassis being sturdy. read more

AQIRYS HYDRA 360 AIO Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2024-03-10 read/post comments(0)

The HYDRA 360 AIO from AQIRYS did impress us in terms of performance, does not require extra controllers to function, relying all control via the computers’ motherboard. The included LCD display is easy to read and will display information strictly related to the cooler, such as the fan speeds, the pump speed but also the coolant temperature. read more

Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith 2x16GB DDR5 6000MHz Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2024-03-06 read/post comments(0)

The XPOWER Zenith 32GB 6000MHz non-RGB memory kit does offer quite a bit of performance thanks to the lower latencies versus the JEDEC specifications, while operating at a voltage of 1.35. During operation, the modules only get a bit warm to the touch so can function even in cases which are not very well optimized in terms of airflow. The height of about 38.5mm does ensure compatibility with larger cooling systems and the potential customer can choose between white or black heatspreaders, with the same technical specifications. read more
