ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 STRIX OC Review

The ASUS GTX 1650 STRIX comes overclocked out of the box and features useful capabilities like idle-fan stop, and a case fan header that's synchronized with your GPU fans. In our testing the card is the quietest GTX 1650 we've reviewed and it achieves that while running at excellent temperatures, too.

Cooler Master-The Modular or Not to Modular?

It should be said that with most certainty, that all of us at some point looked at the cheapest PSU when building our systems. Dropping months of savings on every component but when it came to the PSU, it was banished to the "bargain bin" option in your parts list.

Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR4-3200 32GB Memory Kit Review

When it comes to high performance memory Corsair’s Dominator Platinum has always been at the top of our list. These modules are made with a custom 10-layer PCB, hand-picked memory chips, and Corsair’s patented Dual-Path DHX cooling technology. Up until now Dominator kits were not given the RGB treatment, but Corsair has recently released Dominator Platinum RGB modules. These modules are a bit different than your typical RGB kit, they feature new Capellix RGB LEDs, which are brighter and use less power than typical RGB LEDs you see in other memory. The kit we are taking a look at today is the CMT32GX4M4C3200C14, which is a 32GB (4x8GB) kit running at 3200 MHz with timings of 14-14-14-34 at 1.35V. Read on as we see what this kit can do and check out those new Capellix RGB LEDs!

Intel Core i5-9400 Review

Worth it over AMD's Ryzen? We find out. Intel understands that it needs to do more in the mainstream CPU space following AMD's impressive Ryzen revival. The smaller company typically offers more cores and threads for the same outlay, but it also has the high-end enthusiast space covered with the Ryzen Threadripper goliaths.

And the situation is arguably more difficult for Intel because it has suffered from a lack of supply over the last year. It's only now that most Core models are readily available, so it's worth looking at what's happening in the volume end of the market - sub-£200 - and evaluate which company offers the best overall bang for buck.

GeForce GTX 1650 is the NVIDIA's latest Turing release, going head-to-head with Radeon RX 570. MSI's Gaming X is a premium rendition of this chip with a much improved cooler, idle-fan stop and large overclock out of the box. Noise levels are amazing, making the card whisper quiet.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 Series Turing-Based Laptops Assault Mainstream Gaming Market With Major OEMs

Earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show, NVIDIA launched its GeForce RTX 20 Series mobile GPUs for gaming laptops. These Turing-based mobile GPUs brought top-notch gaming performance and hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing with the GeForce RTX 2060, RTX 2070 and RTX 2080.

Today, NVIDIA is fleshing out the stack and scaling things down to hit better price points with Turing-based GeForce GTX products for laptops: the GeForce GTX 1650 and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. Just as on the desktop side of the equation, this new GeForce GTX 16 Series for laptops forgoes dedicated hardware to tackle real-time ray tracing and tensor cores for DLSS image processing...
