ASRock X399 Phantom Gaming 6 Motherboard Review

The ASRock X399 Phantom Gaming 6 hardware is one of the cheapest X399 motherboard currently on the market and brings the Phantom Gaming name to the high-end desktop market. This entry-level option for Threadripper uses a 2.5 gigabit ethernet controller, and is one of only a few boards to do so. It also offers a trio of M.2 slots, but supports only for Threadripper processors up to 16 cores due to its design.

Beginner's Guide To Twitch Streaming - Part 2

When we left off in Part 1, we had created a single Scene in Streamlabs OBS, complete with a game visual and audio sources, microphone audio input, and webcam video. And while that may not seem like much, the goal of that article was to get you started streaming to Twitch as quickly and easily as possible. Digging into the advanced features of Streamlabs OBS was not part of that article, and will not be included here either. This second entry into our beginner’s guide series will focus on adding a few additional scenes and source types to add a bit of variety to your stream. While we do plan to cover the more advanced features of streaming setups in future guides, you won’t find us discussing the pros and cons of encoder types here.

Corsair Carbide 678C Review

The Corsair Carbide 678C is meant to refresh the silent line of cases of the brand with a new, modern take using updated internals.

Corsair Carbide Series 678C Review

A versatile but pricey mid-tower chassis. Corsair is today bolstering its range of premium ATX chassis with a low-noise addition touting "sophisticated style and serious versatility." It's called the Carbide Series 678C and arrives at retail priced at £180, putting it up against the likes of the be quiet! Dark Base 700 and NZXT H700i.

Having spent some time tinkering with the enclosure, what's perhaps most interesting about the 678C is that it adopts an almost old-school approach to building a PC. It is large in size, completely void of RGB lighting, and equipped with some features we rarely see these days, including a hinged front door that reveals a 5.25in optical bay - remember those?

CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB ATX Tempered Glass Case Review

Corsair has launched a pair of new enclosures today including the Crystal Series 680X RGB, a roomy dual-chamber design with plenty of tempered glass and RGB to keep things visually interesting. And we just so happen to have procured one before release, preparing our launch-day review secretly, and in the dead of night. And so it is that today we can, should, and will share this with you - or as soon as you move past this rambling opening paragraph and on to the meat of the review itself.

As you may know the Crystal Series is a line of premium cases featuring multiple tempered-glass panels and RGB fans, and going back to 2016 we have reviewed the Crystal Series 570X, the smaller Crystal Series 460X, and most recently the Crystal Series 280X, a dual-chamber micro-ATX design. The new 680X RGB is also a dual-chamber enclosure, but on a much larger scale with support for up to EATX motherboards. It is available in both black and white finishes, and we opted for the white version to help set off the RGB fans.
The CORSAIR Crystal Series 680X RGB is a dual-chamber tempered glass ATX smart case that keeps your system running cool with room for up to eight fans and four radiators, including one 360mm. Enjoy superb airflow and brilliant RGB lighting from three LL120 RGB fans, controlled by an included CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO and powered by iCUE software. Show off a stunning view of your PC’s components with three tempered glass panels on the front, roof, and hinged side door, while an optional vertical GPU mount allows you to put your graphics card center stage. Make your next custom build incredibly easy and undeniably cool with the 680X RGB.

NVIDIA Titan RTX Review

The NVIDIA Titan RTX is a GPU with somewhat of an identity crisis. The card is based on a fully-enabled Turing TU102 GPU, and is technically the most powerful graphics card in NVIDIA’s current line-up for gaming. If you hit NVIDIA’s site and check out the Titan RTX’s landing page, however, it isn’t being targeted at gamers. NVIDIA’s site makes statements like, “TITAN RTX frees you to work at the full speed of your creativity” and “[TITAN RTX] provides a fast and simple start to exploring GPU-accelerated data science workflows on your PC.
