Neowin: Asus TUF A15 review: A decent gaming laptop held back by poor thermal design

Asus TUF A15 is a budget-friendly gaming laptop that features the new AMD Ryzen 4000 processor, up to Nvidia RTX graphics, and more. Asus, however, had to cut some corners to keep the price in check.

LanOC Reviews: Lian Li Uni Fan SL 120

Nearly everyone has their own take on addressable RGB fans and Lian Li isn’t any different. They have their Bora Digital fans already, but all the way back at the start of the year at CES they did tease another design. That was their Uni Fan design and today is finally the day, the Lian Li Uni Fan SL 120 is available and today I’m going to check them out. They have a completely different look from the Bora fans, going with something closer to a traditional design with a square design but beyond the shape nothing else is traditional at all, they dropped the light rings for what I would call brows at the top and bottom of the fan which are on the front and back as well and all of the fans lock together and share their lighting and fan controls through the connection for a cleaner installation. This is something I complained about when I took a look at Corsairs QL series of fans, so I’m excited to see how the SL 120’s work.

Anandtech: The NZXT Kraken Z63 & X73 AIO Cooler Review: Shiny On Top, Solid Underneath

Today we are taking a look at NZXT’s latest liquid coolers, the Kraken X-3 and Z-3 series. These are more of a refresh rather a total upgrade over last year’s X-2 series, but NZXT has made some notable tweaks. Between the two families there are five different coolers in three sizes, covering the usual 240/280/360mm configurations. Both the X and Z series utilize the same cooling hardware, but NZXT has positioned the Z series as a premium option with a novel aesthetic feature – while the X series has RGB lighting on top of the pump base, the Z series tops its base with a full-fledged (and full color) LCD screen.

Wccftech: Battletoads Review – Graceful Genre Hopper

Does the new Battletoads replicate the fun of the NES original, or is it a blemish on Rash, Zitz, and Pimple’s legacy?

Wccftech: Dying Light Hellraid Review - Hellish DLC

Hellraid looks good but offers none of the originality that Techland brought to the zombie genre, focusing on all the wrong parts of Dying Light and all the most predictable parts of the fantasy universe instead.

RHA is back with the TrueConnect 2. They improve on the original, but are they worth buying again to upgrade or choose over the competition?

IgorsLAB: Wavemaster Base 2.0 Stereo Active Speakers Review

Wavemaster has been offering a small pair of 2.0 stereo loudspeakers for some time now, which were deliberately placed below the Cube Mini Neo. And since I dont only test high-end, but also like to browse the budget area for bargains for my readers, the almost 70 Euros are actually not a hurdle.
