KitGuru: be quiet! Silent Base 802 Review

Silent Base 802 is a new PC case from be quiet! But calling it “brand new” could be a little deceptive as its more of a revised version of the Silent Base 801 featuring an interchangeable front panel for users to switch between silent and high airflow configurations. You could say it covers all bases, but only if both configurations work as intended, of course. This is something we will find out shortly after building a high-end gaming system inside.

Neowin: HP EliteBook x360 1040 G7 review: The absolute best convertible

Just like the model that we reviewed last year, HP's EliteBook x360 1040 G7 is nearly perfect, but this time, it's even better with more powerful internals, a redesigned chassis, and more.

We've been using Apple's M1-powered Macs for basically a month, and while the experience has been GREAT, they're not perfect..

SnazzyLabs: Apple M1: Much More than Hardware

The Snazzy Labs M1 review—but not of hardware—of software. And also kinda hardware...

KitGuru: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Zen 3 CPU Review

Six cores and twelve processing threads has been a recipe for success with value orientated buyers in recent years. AMD’s own Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X CPUs have proven to be fan favourites for their balance between performance and price. Can the Zen 3 Ryzen 5 5600X, which comes in at around £280 in the UK if you can find availability, prove to be another worthy six core challenger?

KitGuru: AMD RX 6900 XT Review

After getting our first look at RDNA 2 when the RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 both launched on November 18th, today our attention turns to AMD’s new flagship GPU – the RX 6900 XT. Priced at $999, or £899.99 here in the UK, the RX 6900 XT comes with 80 Compute Units, giving a total of 5120 stream processors. Designed to take the fight to Nvidia in the ultra high-end market, let’s find out if this GPU really is the RTX 3090 killer.

KitGuru: Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+ Review

After the launch of AMD’s flagship GPU, the RX 6900 XT, today we take step down to take a look at another custom RX 6800 XT. In for review is the Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+, a large triple-fan solution with factory overclocked core and increased power limit compared to the reference specifications. We put this card through its paces and see how it compares to both AMD’s reference design, as well as the PowerColor Red Devil.

KitGuru: ASRock B550 Extreme4 Review

Luke has reviewed a series of motherboards with an AMD B550 chipset that range in price from £150 all the way close to £300! B550 is supposed to be a budget chipset so it comes as a relief that this ASRock B550 Extreme4 is widely available at £190 while also promising a full list of enthusiast features. And of course we’re going to check whether or not it lives up to the claim of being Extreme.

Tom's Hardware: Pimax Vision 8K Plus Review: Ultrawide VR Headset

Ultrawide and 4K per eye is a pretty great combo.
