APH Networks: Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black Review

Happy New Year! I do not know what is currently on your mind, but I am going to be bold and make a guess that while none of us are completely sure what 2021 has in store for us, we are all glad 2020 is finally over. What was initially supposed to be a few weeks of lockdown turned out to be all of us still living far from normal lives thus far. At this point, our only glimmer of hope is almost completely founded on the COVID-19 vaccine returning us back to what it was supposed to be. At the very least, we hope 2021 will bring important changes -- like, you know, an end to the global pandemic -- for the better. It is something we all wish for one way or another on the onset of something new. In my first review of 2020, the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT, I began with talking about how the keyboard with some changes made it all the better. So why not start 2021 with another product with some changes that can make it all the better? Back in 2014, I reviewed the renowned Noctua NH-D15, which remains one of the best air coolers even to this day. In 2015, I evaluated the NH-D15S, which is the mentioned with a shifted fin stack with relation to the base for improved compatibility. Fast forward to 2020, the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black is the NH-D15 with the company's amazing matte black finish. What seems to be missing so far? This is not a trick question, and today we have the Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black here at APH Networks. With all the changes amalgamated over the years, will it make it all the better? Read on to find out!

TechPowerUp: Sharkoon Light² 100 Review

The Sharkoon Light² 100 is the budget version of the Light² 200. Sporting the same shape, PixArt's PMW3325 sensor, and a weight of 78 g, the Light² 100 at just $24.99 only costs half as much as the Light² 200.
