ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming Review

In this review, we look at the ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming. We will pair it with the new eight cores, sixteen threads proc, that Core i9 9900K. A motherboard that has very decent looks and carries some interesting features as well. The motherboard has been fitted with the usual suspects, including a Gigabit based Ethernet jack and on that dark themed PCB you may house two M2 SSDs. Being an ROG board, it does offer some pretty sweet tweaking options hidden inside that BIOS. This more affordable ROG will get that 9900K onwards to 5.2 GHz on all corez yo!, get ya sum 'o dat!

With the new Coffee Lake-S refresh you can expect three processors predominantly become popular in demand for the PC gamer, as each and every one of the processors will offer fantastic gaming performance if your graphics card is fast enough. Intel is able to boost the Turbo frequencies towards that 5 GHz domain. And that is a big advantage that Intel has over AMD, which is wedges shut at that 4.2 GHz range with Ryzen 2000 (which is overall really good, but the high per clock core is where it matters in CPU bound gaming; e.g. with super high-end graphics cards like the RTX 2080 Ti).

Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB DDR4-2666 2x8GB Kit Review

The new Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB do not disappoint by offering good performance and quite a bit of overclocking headroom; these are available with multiple speed ratings and 8GB/16GB densities per module. The LED lighting system is configurable in very much detail and we have the option to leave it run without the light bar for maximum LED brightness. The temperature sensors are a nice feature to have as well, that has been preserved from the previous generations.

Cooler Master MH752 Review

The MH752 also has broad support for different platforms thanks to its use of a 3.5mm connection rather than a USB one. Bear in mind that to get the 7.1 audio experience you'll need to connect the headset to a PC as it won't work on a console or the other compatible platforms.

EVGA DG-77 Alpine White Midtower Review

Up until just a few years ago, EVGA was best known for its graphics cards and motherboards, but the company has since built up a solid reputation for quality power supplies, AIO liquid coolers, cases, and peripherals. The DG-7, according to EVGA, is designed to look as expensive as the hardware you put in it.

EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra 11 GB Review

EVGA's RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra comes with a large triple-slot, dual-fan cooler and is overclocked out of the box. EVGA picked smart, balanced, fan settings, making this one of the quietest RTX 2080 Ti cards we tested so far, and it comes with the wonderful idle-fan-stop feature, too.

Intel Xeon E Six-Core Review

Despite having officially launched back in July, Intel’s Xeon E desktop platform has yet to see the light of day in systems casually available to users or small businesses. This should change today, with the official embargo lift for reviews on the parts, as well as the announcement today that SGX-enabled versions are coming for Server use. The Xeon E platform is the replacement for what used to be called the E3-1200 family, using Intel’s new nomenclature, and these parts are based on Intel’s Coffee Lake (not Coffee Lake Refresh) microarchitecture. We managed to get a few processors in to test, and today we’ll start by examining most of the six-core family.

OUKITEL K8 Phone Review

I get it, not everyone is in the market for a $1,000+ flagship smartphone and more often than not the biggest complaint I hear from friends and family regarding their phone is battery life. But how do you balance that issue without having a phone the size of a brick made for a warzone that gives up every ounce of functionality for the sake of battery. OUKITEL looks to meet somewhere in the middle of a nice get-work-done phone that also has the juice to keep it going long into the workday and into the nightlife. The OUKITEL K8 is a beefy phone sporting a large easy to read screen and a surprisingly large 5,000mAh battery, and it could double as a club if need be.

Promise Atlas S8+ Thunderbolt 3 Review

We have seen professional storage platforms in the past from Promise with the Pegasus platform, Areca has its lineup of Thunderbolt solutions, and CalDigit and LaCie have theirs as well, but we have yet to have a Thunderbolt 3 solution come through that can also double up as a NAS, until the S8+ arrived.

The Atlas S8+ sets itself apart with the ability to be configured as a turnkey appliance, while at the same time it can also be configured with Thunderbolt 3 or 10Gbe in addition to its built-in quad gigabit ethernet connectivity. The Atlas is ideal for rich media creation and professionals in need of enterprise-class data storage with enhanced encryption while having simple intuitive setup and management tools.

Thermaltake TT Premium X1 RGB Review

The TT Premium X1 RGB is the keyboard in question, and it's off to a strong start.
