KitGuru: Lian Li O11 Air Mini Review – Der8auer hits a home run

Today sees the launch of the Lian Li O11 Air Mini, which majors on air flow. The closest point of reference I have is the Lian Li O11 Dynamic I worked with two years ago in this EK custom loop build. You will understand that feels like a very long time indeed, however the Lian Li O11 Air Mini immediately feels familiar thanks to its design input from Der8auer.

KitGuru: Gigabyte Aorus FV43U Monitor Review – 4K/144Hz w/ HDMI 2.1

After a long time trying, it feels like 4K/144Hz monitors are finally starting to take off. Today’s monitor isn’t just any ordinary display though. The Gigabyte Aorus FV43U is a 43in beast, offering 4K/144Hz, VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification as well as a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs. Priced at around £950 here in the UK, this certainly isn’t for the faint of heart – but is it worth buying? That’s what we will find out today.

KitGuru: Endgame Gear XM1r Mouse Review

It’s been almost two years to the day since we first looked at the Endgame Gear XM1, and today we are following that up with a review of the XM1r. Using the same shape as the original model, the XM1r sports an improved PixArt sensor, updated primary buttons and a snazzy translucent shell. Retailing for £49.99, this is very much a mid-range mouse, so let’s see what it has to offer.

Microphones:

KitGuru: NZXT Capsule USB Microphone Review

Audio quality is arguably more important than visual quality; it’s much easier to watch a bad quality video with great audio as opposed to great visuals with horrendous audio quality. NZXT – yes, the case manufacturer! – is aiming to take the world by storm with its brand-new USB microphone called the Capsule, coming in at £109.99. Is their first dedicated microphone any good though? Let’s check it out!

Corsair’s latest flagship PCIe Gen 4 SDD is the MP600 Pro XT. Offered in two varieties, one with a traditional SSD heatsink, while the other – the MP600 Pro XT Hydro X Edition – comes with a copper interior water block. The drives use a Phison PS5018-E18 controller together with Micron’s 176-Layer 3D TLC NAND, Micron’s fastest 3D TLC flash to date.
