TechPowerUp: FiiO K11 R2R Desktop DAC/Headphone Amplifier Review

If you were curious about R2R DACs and wanted a taste without breaking the wallet, then the FiiO K11 R2R should be of interest to you. It builds upon the highly impressive K11 DAC/amp, including customizable LED indicators, a menu screen, plenty of power for most headphones and IEMs, and uses an in-house developed R2R DAC for a slight price increase.

TechPowerUp: Corsair 2500D Airflow Review

The Corsair 2500D is the brand's most compact dual-chamber chassis, sporting the same solid exterior shell that we have seen on the larger 6500 variants. While shrunk down to fit mATX boards, the 2500D Airflow also manages to retain much of the DNA from its larger brethren to make for a simple but functional build experience.

eTeknix: AMD 7900X Retested – PBO, SMT & Overclocked

Last week, we brought you a review of the Ryzen 7 9700X, the latest release in a seemingly long line of rather boring new CPU launches that offer minor upgrades to existing products. In short, it's fair to say we weren't particularly impressed by the small increase in performance it offered over a range of benchmarks, but more so with the gaming performance. We went back and retested with PBO, as we were called out for not enabling it. However, since PBO also works on the CPUs it replaced, the performance gap remained basically the same. So, here we are
