Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB Review

Last year, we reviewed an NVMe-equipped Adata SSD for the very first time. The XPG SX8200 came in guns blazing, and its solid performance and modest price tag earned it our official endorsement. But now it looks like we'll have to table that recommendation, because Adata has whipped up a sequel, the XPG SX8200 Pro.

Alienware AW988 Wireless Headset And AW959 Elite Mouse Review

When you think of Dell or its Alienware brand, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a PCs and not a peripheral. Be that as it may, Dell is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the peripheral market as part of a larger play, one in which it can sell gamers on a unified ecosystem through its Alienware division. You could, for example, buy an Alienware desktop and plug it into an Alienware monitor (even a giant 55-inch OLED display, if you have the bankroll), and then surround it with Alienware peripherals. Talk about an invasion!

Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition Air Cooler Review

It is not hyperbole to call Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 family some of the most important CPU air coolers in the industry, with the 212 EVO dominating sales in the DIY segment for years now based on Amazon rankings. In the last five years I have reviewed a number of coolers here at PC Perspective, and feedback from readers almost always includes mention of, and requests for comparison to, that Hyper 212 EVO. I have tested this venerable cooler more than once over the years, but it has proven to be such a vital part of any CPU air-cooling discussion that it demands to be part of every cooler review lineup. Today we will benchmark that cooler yet again using the current test platform, and compare it to a new generation of Hyper 212: the Black Edition.

The Hyper 212 Black Edition coolers, available with or without an RGB fan, add a level of style that had been missing from the 212 EVO, trading exposed copper heat pipes and bare aluminum heatsink fins for a polished, all-black finish. Naturally style means nothing without performance, and with the RGB Black Edition we are still looking at a single tower heatsink design with four heat pipes that are designed to make direct contact with the CPU, and air is still being moved via a single 120 mm fan.

Cooler Master MK730 Gaming Keyboard Review

Cooler Master has had some really solid keyboard over the past few years.  Today we are going to be checking out their new MK730, which is basically a tenkeyless version of the MK750, which we took a look at back in 2017.  I've said this many times before, but I am a huge fan of tenkeyless keyboards.  They are the perfect size as they don't take up a lot of space on your desk and are small enough to easily take with you to the office or LAN party.  And for me they offer all of the keys I need, I rarely use a number pad even if the keyboard I'm using has one.  The MK730 offers Cherry MX mechanical key switches, a brushed aluminum chassis, full RGB lighting, and a nice PU wrist rest.  You'll get all of this for only $119.99, is it worth it? Read on as we find out!
