Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200MHz DDR4 64GB Review

If I break it down, you get a set of modules that have been through an extensive binning process that hand selects the memory ICs being used on these modules. There is a custom designed, cooling optimized PCB that those memory IC's are mounted to so that we can enjoy a trouble free user experience. The DHX cooling solution on these modules is easily up to the task of keeping the modules cool with minimal airflow. The heat spreader and DHX cooling fins are designed to use convective cooling in the absence of any airflow over the modules. In most cases there will be some airflow, be it from the chassis cooling fans or the CPU heat sink fans. With a fan blowing over the modules they never got warm to the touch, even with an applied 1.45v to stretch the cooling capabilities. A bit of airflow from a chassis fan directed over the modules does the trick. Ultimately the cooling capacity of the modules can improve the overclocking potential of the modules.

Deepcool Genome

The Deepcool Gamer Storm Genome is a gaming chassis with an embedded Captain 360 cooling solution and cool double-helix reservoir. Many have tried offering a case and liquid-cooling combo in the past, but this seems to be one of the first cases out there that does not only seem to look good but also ends up being functional - but only a closer examination of its genes will tell.

Motorola Moto G4 Plus Review

In the past we've had no trouble recommending the Moto G for those after a fantastic budget smartphone. In 2016, Motorola has expanded the Moto G line and the $250 Moto G4 Plus is the most fully featured of the bunch. It shares the same display, SoC and design with the basic Moto G4 but upgrades the camera and includes a fingerprint sensor.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile (Asus ROG G752VS) Review

Nvidia's GTX 10-series GPU brings desktop performance to the laptop. Nvidia has laid siege to the high-end desktop graphics market in recent months, with the GeForce GTX Titan X, GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 all largely unchallenged at the top of the consumer GPU hierarchy. Hoping to continue its dominance in high-end laptops, the graphics giant is now flexing its muscle with the launch of mobile variants of the GTX 1080, 1070 and 1060 GPUs going by exactly the same names.

To find out the how the middle-of-the-pack GTX 1070 fares, Asus sent in a last-minute, pre-production sample of an upcoming 17in behemoth, the ROG G752VS.

NVIDIA Mobile GeForce GTX 10-Series Review: Pascal Notebooks Slay Benchmarks

NVIDIA's new Pascal GPU architecture has been taking the PC graphics market by storm since its introduction in early May. The leading-edge semiconductor powerhouse, in addition to lighting up pixels, has been burning up its balance sheets as well, with strong sales of GeForce, Quadro and Tesla product lines driving record revenues and a brisk uptick in the company stock price. For NVIDIA's core gamer customer base, the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 kicked-off the Pascal party, followed by the introduction of the more mid-range GeForce GTX 1060, and then finally the monstrous NVIDIA Titan X. With the exception of the entry-level graphics segment (a slot in the product stack the company has yet to flesh out), it's been a clean sweep for Pascal-based GeForce cards with best of class bang for your buck and perf-per-watt metrics.

That said, Pascal is just getting warmed-up and the company's new core graphics architecture is now being driven throughout the its entire product portfolio, as is typically the case. Today, Pascal comes to notebooks with the introduction of the NVIDIA Mobile GeForce GTX 10-Series...

Nvidia Pascal Goes Mobile: GeForce GTX 1080, 1070 & 1060 Preview

Last week we were in Bangkok to attend Nvidia's special media event. The product to be unveiled was unknown so I was intrigued to say the least. Having just announced the Pascal Titan X we suspected a GTX 1080 Ti card might follow. So was it a brand new high-end gaming GPU? A boring but uber-capable server GPU? Mobile, mobile was overdue.

Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 450W

Returning readers have most likely seen a wide selection of SFX power supplies coming through the LanOC office over the years. I have to admit, I have a little bit of an obsession with these tiny power supplies. It’s because I love building small form factor LAN rigs and you can’t go small without having the power to push it, so when I first saw Silverstone introducing them a few years ago I jumped on them and used them in Lunchbox 2. I later built our entire Lunchbox 3 all around one as well. Recently a few other manufacturers have been jumping into the SFX market. This is exciting for two reasons. For one it means more options. But the most exciting thing is that most of the companies who have been bringing them out also manufacture cases, meaning there may be more SFX based case options coming in the future. Well, Thermaltake introduced a 450 watt and a 600 watt recently and today I’m going to check out the 450 watt and see what it is all about and find out how it compares to the Silverstone and Corsair SFX options.
