ASUS Zenfone 3 Max Review

With the Zenfone 3 Max, ASUS has a new smartphone in its portfolio, which is available at a very competitive price and features a huge battery.

Corsair have released their SP120 RGB LED and HD120 RGB LED fans. Corsair supply these RGB LED fans without and (preferably) with controllers. These are multi-color LED fans.

Lian Li PC-Q37 Mini-ITX Chassis Review

The masters of aluminium chassis designs are back on eTeknix once again, as Lian Li roll out their latest mini-ITX chassis design, the PC-Q37. Keeping up with current trends in chassis design, as they always do, Lian Li are packing plenty of tempered glass into their new chassis design, so it’s sure to appeal to those who want that premium look and feel from their build, as well as a great way to show off their new hardware.

“The PC-Q37 features a two compartment design, separate the system into two compartments, one is motherboard and graphics card section, another one is HDD and power supply unit section.”

Featuring a dual-chamber design, which isn’t exactly common for a mini-ITX chassis, the PC-Q37 sports room for 320mm graphics cards, a 220mm SFX power supply, room for a little water cooling and some fans (although no fans come pre-installed.)

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 3GB Graphics Card Review

The mainstream segment of the graphics card market seems to be the most competitive currently.  With AMD releasing their Radeon RX 480 at a price-point of $229 with performance of cards from the previous generation that cost upwards of $350.  This prompted NVIDIA to released their GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card earlier than expected.  Now with AMD releasing their RX 470, NVIDIA has a new GTX 1060, a 3GB model.  This model now only cuts the VRAM in half, but also has an extra SM unit disabled.  Off the bat NVIDIA allowed for add-in-card (all-in-card) AIC partners to release their custom cards for this new GTX 1060.  Today we have one such card from MSI, which is their GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 3GB.  This card comes with a custom PCB with a nice factory overclock, MSI's TwinFrozr VI cooling solution, full back-plate, and RGB lighting options.  The card comes in a $239, which gives it a $40 premium over the GTX 1060 3GB base MSRP.  Let's jump in and see what this card is made of!

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Glass Case Review

The short version of this review is that Phanteks has given its Enthoo Pro M case a minor update and has changed the main side panel for a sheet of tempered glass. The slightly longer version is that Phanteks has revised its superb entry level Pro M case by replacing one of the few weak features, a flexible steel side panel with a so-so plastic window, with a gorgeous panel of tempered glass.

Reeven Polariz Fan Controller Review: Playing With Big Knobs

Balancing stylish elegance and practicality, Reeven's new Polariz 3-channel fan controller is not made of plastic like a typical 5.25" bay fan controller. It is enclosed in steel with three large 42mm metal knobs for controlling three independent channels, each supporting up to 3A.  The design, Reeven claims, was inspired by a car dashboard.

Rosewill Cullinan Gaming Case

Over the past 5 years or so I have seen the case market slowly move its focus from the flashy designs that most people associate with gaming to a cleaner theme. With that we have also seen a few companies, namely, In Win, introduce custom designs that have incorporated glass into their designs. In fact, I personally have three different builds that utilize glass. So when Rosewill contacted me about their new Cullinan case that utilizes glass and has a simple/elegant design I jumped right on board, completely ignoring the fact that it was launching right in the middle of our LAN, Alex’s and I’s vacation, and basically the craziest time for me. Because of that, I’m a little late to the party taking a look at the case, but I’m still excited to see what direction Rosewill is moving in their cases.

TP-Link Archer VR2600 Review

A modem router that's fast, versatile and well-stocked with features. The proliferation of mobile devices has led to renewed focus on products designed to give consumers better access to in-home broadband. Routers, access points and range extenders all come to mind, and TP-Link, having recently undergone a brand revamp, remains at the forefront of this market segment with an ever-expanding range of network solutions.

On the test bench today is the Archer VR2600, a versatile and forward-looking VDSL/ADSL modem router that hopes to continue the good work of last year's VR900.
