be quiet! Pure Base 500 Review

German manufacturer's most affordable mid-tower reviewed and rated. be quiet! has slowly but surely put together a formidable portfolio of high-quality PC enclosures, headlined by the award-winning Dark Base Pro 900 rev. 2 and Dark Base Pro 700. Said cases offer plenty to admire, but respective price points of £230 and £160 put such goodness beyond the reach of mainstream consumers.

Sub-£100 enclosures are crucial to establishing a meaningful presence in the market, and be quiet! is hoping to broaden its appeal with the new Pure Base 500, the German firm's most affordable mid-tower solution to date.

Corsair iCUE 465X Review

It’s time to check out the new Corsair iCUE 465X RGB mid-tower PC chassis. Corsair has been releasing many new cases in recent years, including the Carbide 275Q and the Crystal 680X, which we reviewed on Guru3d in April and March respectively.

Corsair iCUE 465X RGB Case Review

One of the first cases to fully support Corsair’s iCUE software was the Crystal Series 680X. We really enjoyed that case and would recommend it to anyone, but not everyone wants to pay $249.99 for a case. With that in mind Corsair is releasing the iCUE 465X RGB case. As you can guess this mid-tower is made to work with Corsair’s iCUE software and comes with three LL120 RGB PWM fans and the iCUE Lighting Node Core smart RGB lighting controller. So you have RGB lighting and control out of the box. On top of that you have front and side tempered glass panels, room for up to 6 hard drives, and a very clean internal layout. Is this the case you need for your next build? Read on to find out!

HP Zbook 14u G6 Review

The modern work place is everywhere. Thanks to the need to attract top talent, many employers have lenient work from home policies that allow many employees who would normally be in an office to work from almost anywhere. Without the advent of fast portable PCs to do that work, however, this wouldn't be as easy as folding up a laptop and taking it with you. There are also plenty of road warriors who spend more than half their working lives traveling, and those folks need (or want) good-looking, fast mobile PCs like he Zbook 14u G6 we'll be showing you here, to take with them.

NHL 20 Review

Who knew there were so many ways to play hockey?

The life cycle of sports games on any generation of gaming consoles is a funny thing. At the beginning, the developers haven't yet grasped all they can do with new hardware, but toward the end, it feels like they run out of ways to drastically push things forward. NHL 20, reviewed here on PlayStation 4, is no exception, because with new Sony and Microsoft systems expected next year, it relies more on tinkering with what works than trying to revolutionize video game hockey.

So you won't find any huge new gameplay features or flashy new graphics engines in NHL 20. But that's just fine, because this is the one EA Sports series that can get by with an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach. By doubling down on its strengths and freshening up a few areas that needed it, NHL 20 offers something to entice every hockey fan.

Palit RTX 2080 SUPER WGRP Review

It's a flashy-looking custom 2080 SUPER card from Palit. Over the last few weeks, we have focused almost exclusively on AMD’s Navi-based graphics cards. Today, we step over to Team Green, with a look at Palit’s RTX 2080 SUPER WGRP. WGRP stands for ‘White GameRock Premium’, and this is a limited edition model with the white shroud. You can, however, pick up a regular GRP in black if you prefer. As Palit’s flagship 2080 SUPER card, just how well does it perform?

The Palit RTX 2080 SUPER WGRP isn’t just a pretty face, though – it is rocking a custom PCB with enhanced power delivery, a factory overclocked core and a beefy 2.7-slot cooler as well. Priced at £749.99 here in the UK – though currently on sale for £709.99 at Overclockers UK – you’re certainly paying a fair premium over the £669 price of the Founders Edition, so has Palit done enough to justify the extra expense?

Patriot Viper VP4100 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 SSD Review

Not so long time ago we could see the Viper VPN100 SSD which was already an improvement to previous Patriot SSD series while now we are back with the latest and even faster Patriot SSD – Viper VP4100.

The VP4100 has been designed to deliver the best performance for gamers and the most demanding users. The drive which we will present in this review has 1TB capacity so is perfect for most users.

XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 RAW II Ultra Video Card Review

With the 210W Performance BIOS, the XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB GDDR6 RAW II Ultra card can deliver quite a bit of performance, while keeping the temperatures at bay and the noise at decent levels. As we have seen with the latest Ryzen processors, the GPU overclocks itself depending on the read values from the sensors, so manual overclocking is pretty much useless in most cases.
