ASRock Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX 590 8G OC Review

With the RX 590, AMD has again refreshed the existing graphics chip. However, the RX 590 promises to gain more than just a few percent over its predecessor RX 580 through improved production technology in the 12nm process. ASRock has also donated its own cooling and backplate to the RX 590 chip and overclocked the Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX 590 8G from factory. Read more about this in the following ASRock RX 590 Phantom Gaming X 8G OC review on OCinside.de!

Huawei Mate 20 Review

Huawei released its Mate 20 series of smartphones late last year, consisting of the Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20, and Mate 20 Lite. The Lite and Pro versions are the base and flagship models, respectively, while the Mate 20 we're looking at here today is the middle child. When comparing the Mate 20 to the Mate 20 Pro you can see Huawei has omitted some of the high-end features, such as an in-screen finger print reader and OLED display. However, you still get a large 6.53" IPS display with a 88% screen to bezel ratio (thanks to its small teardrop top notch) a large 4000mAH battery, and a camera that's nearly as good as the one in the Mate 20 Pro. So, if you can live without all the bells-and-whistles, you can save yourself a cool $280 and still get a near flagship phone with the Mate 20 standard setup...

Inno3D iChiLL RGB DDR4-3600 (RCX2-16G3600A) Review

Can a new entrant make waves in the enthusiast space? The machinations of the PC component industry are interesting. Most companies that started off producing primarily DRAM have felt the need to branch out and diversify the business against the inherent fluctuations in the memory market. Corsair is the best example of this approach. Very few move into the RAM space from specialties in other products, yet graphics card stalwart Inno3D is doing exactly that with a line of premium iChiLL memory.

Inno3D opts for a single pack of bog-standard memory, a few lower-speed configurations of LED RAM, and then a swathe of kits using RGB lighting.

MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Ventus 6G OC Graphics Card Review

With the GeForce RTX 2060 MSI is initially launching with two models, the RTX 2060 Ventus 6G OC and RTX 2060 Gaming Z 6G. Surprisingly both of these cards come with factory overclocks. Today we are going to be taking a look at the RTX 2060 Ventus 6G OC, which is only $10 more than NVIDIA’s MSRP on the RTX 2060 of $349. With that you are getting a factory overclock up to 1710 MHz (compared to 1680 MHz), a nice dual-fan cooling solution, and a full-cover backplate. That seems like quite a lot for only a $10 premium, let’s see if this is the RTX 2060 card to get.
