Computex 2017 - AMD unleashed their new ThreadRipper CPUs at Computex, offering a full stack of multi-threaded processors with up to 16C/32T, and 64 PCIe 3.0 lanes through the new X399 chipset - but, Ryzen 7 pricing is now dropping big time.

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 5-Way Cooler Comparison

At this point, AMD’s Ryzen processors have been on the market for nearly 3 months. It’s taken a while for some companies to catch up, but we are getting to a position where most, if not all, CPU coolers now support AM4 either out-of-the-box or with an additional bracket. With that being said, we thought it is high time to get some coolers in and see which is best for your Ryzen processor.

Asus Strix GTX 1080 11Gbps

While getting components in for an upcoming build, Asus sent over their new GTX 1080 that is running the new 11Gbps memory from the 1080 Ti. I couldn’t just have the card come into the office without taking a closer look. I was really digging what Asus had going on with the Strix RX 570 that I took a look at, so today I’m going to see what they have to offer in the Strix GTX 1080 11Gbps and then run it through all of our normal testing to see how it performs as well as how it compares to the similar MSI card that already covered.

Denuvo DRM gets the elbow from Grey Boxs RiME

Processor sapping, irritating, Denuvo anti-tampering software was cracked in five days. PC game RiME was published about a week ago and was delivered protected by the well known Denuvo anti-tampering DRM system. The DRM has been cracked within five days and, as promised by the publishers / developers, a new DRM-free version of the game will be released shortly, as an update.

According to the developers Grey Box, RiME was released with Denuvo as they were frightened after seeing piracy rate statistics for similar games. In his forum post game producer Cory Bradley said that the firm intended to remove Denuvo after the initial two or three weeks of release, by which time it would likely be cracked. Now that crack has come after just five days of release. Nevertheless, Bradley says Grey Box will stick to its promise and distribute a DRM-free version of the game in a software update today.

Fractal Design Focus G Mini Review

With the Design Focus G Mini, Fractal Design has another mini tower in its portfolio, that offers space for mATX or mini-ITX motherboards. Apart from that this case features a competitive price, while there is still a resonable feature set. There is for example the possibility to equip this case with up to six fans, which adds quite some flexibility in terms of airflow.
