Everything the Basilisk V3 is, but wireless — and more (more expensive, too)

eTeknix: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (16GBx2) 6000MHz DDR5 Memory Review

Corsair has a long history of making many of the best memory kits on the market. In terms of performance, getting good memory isnt actually that difficult these days. However, Corsair has always been top of their gaming when it comes to design and build quality, and theyre still very much a leader.

APH Networks: Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB Review

I think it is funny the number of practices you adopt from your parents that seems normal until you compare with others. For example, in my parents’ place, all of our mugs and cups are located in one cupboard. When I used to live at my parents, we designated certain cups to each member of the family. We would put all our personal cups in one level, while all the guest cups would go on the level above. This way, everyone in the house knew and did not accidentally drink from someone else's cup. Also, it removed some chance of sharing germs by isolating the cups to each person. However, when I started dating my girlfriend, her family had a large drawer of cups and it was generally a free-for-all. She did mention there were unwritten rules within the family as to which cup belonged to who, but guests could go for any cup. I think I like distinguishing the cups, just because I have certain cups I like and it ensures my guests now do not use my favorite cups. In a similar fashion, Lexar has been producing memory related products for a long time now. If we take a look at their whole lineup, their products have been solid if not remarkable, which is generally a good thing. However, I think it is also important for manufacturers to distinguish themselves with one or two items that become iconic for the entire market. Of course, this distinguishing is not just to identify the product when compared to other Lexar products, but from its competition as well. Today, we have the Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-6000 2x16GB kit, which is Lexar's first foray into the DDR5 generation of RAM. How does it compare to the rest of the DDR5 memory we have reviewed and is it worth taking a look at? Let us read on to find out!

The Guru of 3D: Seasonic Vertex GX-1000 - 1000W ATX 3.0 PSU review

Today we’re putting the new Seasonic Vertex GX-1000W power supply on our test bench. The company is mainly known for its PSUs (like the Prime series, which we checked, for example, the TX-1300) and the chassis (like the Arch Q503 or Syncro Q704). The Vertex series is a new one from Seasonic that was launched in September 2022, but with the availability specified for January 2023. It consists of 80 Plus Platinum or Gold efficiency and has the following wattage variants: 1200 W, 1000 W (which we’re checking in an 80 Plus version), 850 W, and 750 W.

Hardware Asylum: Supra PiModem Project - Getting Retro PCs Online

No RetroPC project is complete without a dial-up modem. Problem is, landlines are a thing of the past and the software available on Retro machines was designed for the technology of the time. This project is designed to bridge the gap using modern technology so that our solution works and still looks exactly like a Supra FaxModem 288 from the outside.
