APH Networks: SAMA A60E Review
I usually try to be respectful and proper when I meet someone new, but sometimes I change it up depending on the vibes. Back when I used to play One Piece Card Game, I encountered someone a friend introduced to the game. I knew he was new, but he was also playing a very skill-intensive deck. Somehow, I got dragged into playing against him using a deck I barely knew how to play. He was a rather proper looking guy, but for some reason, he awakened the monkey in me. In the middle of the match, I was destroying him, so I started flexing my non-existent muscles to be funny. It carried on for a few turns, and suddenly, the odds swung in his favor. It did not take long before I was met with defeat. The people spectating were also my friends, so they took the chance to clown on me. I may have lost, but it made for a really fun and funny moment. Later on, I learned the new player was one of the top players in Calgary for another card game, and he also quickly became a top player in One Piece. We actually became really good friends, because as it turns out, he is just as big a monkey as I am. I will never forget that day when I underestimated his skill as a new player and lost. Similarly, the new player in the North American CPU air cooler market should not be underestimated. Today's review unit is the A60E made by SAMA, which is a name I have never heard before. Can this air cooler be the next top player in the market? Read on to find out!

TechPowerUp: Redragon K1NG Ultra Review
Compared to the K1NG 4K Pro, differences are found under the hood on the ambidextrous K1NG Ultra. The sensor has been upgraded to PixArt's PAW3950, 8000 Hz polling is supported in both wired and wireless operation, and different Huano switches are used for the main buttons, all wrapped into a 51 g package.

TechPowerUp: Gigabyte B850 Eagle WiFi7 Ice Review
If you want a matching motherboard for a white PC build, it doesn’t get much better than Gigabyte’s Ice series. Coming in at under $200, the B850 Eagle WiFi7 Ice is reasonably priced, but will the small heatsinks let it down, and has Gigabyte cut any other corners?
