APH Networks: ARCTIC Freezer A35 A-RGB Review

When skiing this year, I sported two jackets when ripping it down the hills. One jacket was an Arc'teryx Beta AR, while the other was a Ripzone. Both these jackets have their advantages and disadvantages, and I would like to focus this introduction on the Ripzone jacket. This jacket was less fancy than the Beta AR, but it was much thicker and warmer, which has a great advantage for colder days. This was much different than the Beta AR, which almost always required a warm mid-layer vest to be worn underneath. It was also just as durable and flexible, being easy to move around in. The biggest advantage to me was the price, as it was significantly cheaper than the Arc'teryx shell. One might argue that there is no point in buying something so expensive when you can get something that works just fine for a cheaper price. Now, while the Beta AR had its advantages, this is a thought I do understand. This sentiment can be similarly said for CPU coolers. We know liquid coolers will generally provide stronger cooling performance, but they typically cost more and are harder to install. So why not settle for an air cooler that will also perform fine for everyday tasks? That brings us to today's review of the ARCTIC Freezer A35 A-RGB. It has been some time since we have reviewed a cooler from ARCTIC, and given their consistent bang-for-the-buck offerings, I am looking forward to this. Does the ARCTIC Freezer A35 A-RGB prove that spending less can get you results that are just as acceptable? Let us read on to find out!

Mad Shrimps: KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS 1TB microSDXC Memory Card Review

The performance of the EXCERIA PLUS is in-line with the declared value, so great for the intended 4K recording activity focus. Besides the actual testing, we have used the card inside the GoPro Hero 9 Black in order to record 4K 24FPS, 4K 30FPS but also 5K 24 and 30FPS video, more than two hours...
