Antec PRIZM Cooling Matrix Review

Those who have recently bought a chassis or some form of a CPU may have noticed that the performance of the cooling in both has gotten more and more limited over the years. In the pursuit of silence to appease the masses, it has become a struggle to find the types of cooling we saw just a few years ago.

In many of our AIO reviews, we are continually slamming companies on the fact that they offer products at three times the cost of an air-cooled solution, but gets beat in thermal testing. If makers offered a version of products for the overclockers as well as one for the masses, it would not have given Antec a place to hop into the market with a first of its kind product to help those looking to boost performance where any dual 120mm fan setup can be used.

Cooler Master GS750 Headphone Stand Review

If you are like to keep your desk all organized there is a good chance you have a headphone stand or have considered getting on. I personally have had a few different designs. I’ve even seen people use banana stands as a cheaper alternative, especially before a lot of the “gaming” companies got into the market and started making them. Well, recently a few companies have been making them up adding other features including Cooler Master. They showed one-off at Computex and they have finally released it. They call it the GS750 and in addition to being a headphone stand it also has a wireless phone charger built-in, USB ports, a 7.1 sound card, and of course… RGB lighting. Well, today I’m going to check it out, it most certainly isn’t going to fail from lacking features. But is there too much going on? Is this something people want? I’m going to check it out today and find out.

Corsair SF750 Platinum Power Supply Review

We put the new Corsair SF750 Platinum power supply on our test bench today. It’s the most powerful model in the Corsair SF series. The Corsair SF750 Platinum is a small form factor (SFX-L) power supply, but it’s still possible to install it in ATX systems.

Genesis Krypton 800 Mouse Review

It's a budget gaming mouse from Polish manufacturer Genesis - is it your next mouse? Budget gaming mice have been getting better and better over the last few years, and you no longer need to spend over £50 to get a top quality mouse. While you may not have heard of them, Genesis is a Polish peripheral manufacturer hoping to capitalise on this trend with its Krypton 800. Priced at just £36.99, this mouse boasts a PixArt PMW 3330 sensor, Omron switches and a lightweight body. Is it as good as it sounds?

Another selling point for the Genesis Krypton 800 is also the fact that it is a true ambidextrous design, meaning it’s not just a symmetrical shape – but it also had side buttons on both sides of the mouse, too. That, coupled with its multi-zone RGB lighting, on-board memory and braided cable means this is a pretty feature-rich mouse considering its price.

Mushkin Helix-L Low-Cost NVMe SSD Review

Mushkin has a strong SSD line-up for 2019, but the company slow-walked new models to market. Amazon still shows SM2262-powered Pilot models in stock even though competitors ADATA and HP have long sold out of SX8200 and EX920 drives.

SilverStone LD03 Case Review

SilverStone is no stranger here at ThinkComputers, as we have taken a look at many of their offerings in the past. So when they reached out to see if we would be interested in taking a look at the latest case in their Lucid series of cases, the LD03, we jumped on the opportunity. The SilverStone Lucid series cases offer multiple tempered glass panels for a comprehensive look at the case interior, which really isn't anything too crazy. What really piqued our interest however, was the rotated motherboard orientation and unique shape and design that go along with this layout. If you are looking for a unique looking Mini-ITX case, follow along as we examine the SilverStone LD03.
