Asus Maximus IX Extreme with Bitspower monoblock Review

It may seem crazy to start 2018 with talk of a Kaby Lake motherboard but Asus Maximus IX Extreme proves the Z270 platform is not yet dead and buried. Asus has used its entire bag of ROG tricks to ensure that Maximus IX Extreme is the ultimate Z270 motherboard not only in terms of performance and overclocking, and also styling. This E-ATX motherboard is supplied with a Bitspower monoblock that cools the CPU, VRMS and also the primary M.2 slot. Naturally the monoblock matches the styling of the Maximus IX Extreme and when the hardware is installed you are ready to connect a custom loop cooling system with the minimum of trouble.

OWC ThunderBlade V4 Review (4TB)

The OWC ThunderBlade V4 was created for the media professional working in very large files, and needing to manipulate save and transfer them quickly. Efficiency is the key here. The OWC ThunderBlade is the fastest external storage device we have ever tested, and the fastest available to the best of our knowledge. When we can observe speeds up to 2.9GB/s in any data transfer to an external medium, that says all that needs to be said.

Patriot Viper V570 and V570 Blackout Edition Gaming Mice Review

In the early days of PC gaming, users were stuck using whatever mouse they could find, as mice made specifically for gaming were nowhere on the radar. Thankfully we have moved beyond that, and are now at a place where gaming peripherals of all sorts are available for PC gamers. Many PC hardware companies have been expanding their offerings in the last few years to include gaming products, and Patriot is right there with them. Patriot’s Viper Gaming line not only includes peripherals like mice and keyboards, but also includes their Viper DDR3 and DDR4 memory as well. As these gaming peripherals have become more and more advanced, we have seen their feature sets expand to include not only additional performance-enhancing features, but visual enhancements as well. The Patriot Viper V570 Gaming Mouse brings both form and function into a single product, which we will be taking a look at in this review. The Viper V570 is available in a standard V570 model, as well as a V570 Blackout Edition, which eschews a few red buttons and highlights for an all-black design. Are the flashy looks and lights of the V570 paired up with enough performance features that matter to provide a solid gaming mouse? Read along to find out!
