Corsair H100i Platinum RGB CPU Cooler Review

Corsair's new H100i Platinum RGB looks the part but for £124.99, is it worth the more premium price? Corsair has been the market leader in the AIO liquid cooling market for a number of years offering a really varied range of not only smaller coolers for small form factor builds, but also much larger 280mm and 360mm variants for those chasing best performance.

Lots of manufacturers are packaging LEDs, and RGB functionality into their cooler, Corsair being no exception, but the new Corsair Hydro Series H100i adds to their product ”Platinum” which as with power supplies suggests an air of supremacy. Two versions are available – the 240mm H100i priced at £124.99, and 280mm at £139.99 but with slightly better compatibility. We decided to take a look at the H100i, so let’s see how it holds up in our testing.

Crucial MX500 1 TB M.2 SSD Review

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Crucial MX500 1TB SSD in 2.5-inch format and today we are testing the Crucial MX500 1TB SSD as M.2 version on OCinside.de. In the review we show the differences between the MX500 2.5-inch vs. M.2 SSD and test the M.2 both with and without passive M.2 heatsink on the @ASRock Z390 Extreme4 motherboard. So we can be curious whether the small surcharge to the M.2 SSD is worth it and how well the M.2 temperature can be lowered with a passive heatsink.

Football Manager 2019 Review

I often find myself in a bind or at least worrying when reviewing continuous titles in a series. Two years ago I reviewed Football Manager 2017. Last year I reviewed Football Manager 2018. Of course, this year brings us Football Manager 2019. The worry is simple: will I ever find myself getting bored of what is ostensibly the same game, year in, year out?

Probably not. At least if the game is done right. I’ve been managing digital football clubs for close to twenty years now. I’ve been playing Football Manager since it was first released in 2004, before that I was playing Championship manager. It’s a series I’ve sunk over 3000 hours into. You know what, I still find it just as engrossing, if not more so, than any AAA, huge budget, open-world timewaster. Why? Passion, and progression.

SilentiumPC Sigma PRO Corona RGB Fan Kit Review

With a large number of modern gaming chassis’ coming with case fans supplied, you can often find that they are a little underwhelming. Be it in performance or simply the fact that they look a little bland, it’s not uncommon for people to look towards replacing them with something that has a little bit more going to for it.

With that in mind, we take a look at the SilentiumPC Sigma PRO Corona RGB. A 120mm case kit comprising of 3 fans with RGB lighting. These fans come available to either run independently or as part of a motherboard sync set-up.

Offering some impressive RGB performance, let’s take a closer look and see if these could be the icing on the cake for your system!
