IgorsLAB: Halnziye HY-P17 Thermal Paste Review - High-flyer or far too good to be true?
When I tested the Halnziye HY-P17 for the first time, my jaw almost dropped. The performance delivered by this thermal compound is simply brutal and anything but what you would have expected from this manufacturer. Halnziye was previously known for solid but inconspicuous mass-produced goods that rarely rose above mediocrity. But it is precisely this image that is pulverized by the HY-P17. In my extensive database, this paste is not only at the top of the list, it also makes established greats look downright old. But despite all the euphoria, there is also a legitimate question: is the HY-P17 really the measure of all things or just a short-term outlier? This is precisely the question I will be exploring in detail today.

TechPowerUp: MSI MPG B860I Edge Ti Wi-Fi Review
MSI is going all-out with Mini-ITX support for mid and high-end chipsets from both AMD and Intel. We're starting with the B860 model, in dazzling titanium attire featuring Thunderbolt 4, but can it edge out some stiff competition at $220?
The Guru of 3D: MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi Review: Great Performance and Value
The MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi motherboard, designed for the AMD AM5 platform, utilizes the AMD B850 chipset to offer an attractive mid-range solution for users seeking solid performance at a price of $229.99. Compatible with AMD Ryzen 7000 and 9000 series processors (Zen4 and Zen5), this board supports DDR5 memory with speeds up to 8400MT/s.

TechPowerUp: PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT Reaper 8 GB Review
We're taking a look at the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB, which comes with only half the memory size of the 16 GB models, but is at least $50 cheaper. Data from the review suggests that NVIDIA's memory management is much less efficient than the one used on RDNA 4, giving AMD the upper hand.

Hardware Busters: SilverStone Triton 850Rx ATX v3.1 PSU Review
A non-modular PSU that meets the strict ATX v3.1 specification? SilverStone thought that this would be a good idea and released the Triton RX line. In today’s review I will evaluate the strongest member, with 850W max power to see if this is indeed a good idea, or better go fully-modular even at an increased cost!
