GeIL Evo X 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Review

GeIL (Golden Emperor International Ltd.) has delivered some RGB DDR4 memory called Evo X that has two distinct and separate modes of operation for the RGB lighting. The simple method is to power the GeIL DDR4 from a 9V/12V fan header and then select a lighting mode using the switches built in to the memory modules.

Alternatively, provided you have a compatible motherboard, you can use an RGB header that connects to Asus Aura, ASRock Aura, Gigabyte RGB Fusion or MSI Mystic Light Sync.

Origin Chronos Small Form Factor Gaming PC Review

"Pre-Built" and "Small Form Factor PC" are terms that can strike fear in the minds of hardcore PC gamers. Pre-built systems don't necessarily put quality or performance over costs, while small form factor PCs don't always get high end GPU options or efficient cooling.

Tesoro Excalibur SE Spectrum Keyboard Review

Most of us are familiar to standard mechanical switches found in popular gaming keyboards. Standard Cherry, Kailh, and TTC switches share similar designs using physical metal on metal contacts to register a keystroke. With the Tesoro Excalibur SE Spectrum, this keyboard utilizes optical key switch technology. Each key uses an infrared sensor to detect when the key is registered. This design eliminates metal on metal contacts and boosts the keystroke life cycle from 50 million to an insane 100 million. It also has per key back lighting, a spill and rust resistant design, and internal drill holes in case of spills. In this article for Benchmark Reviews, let’s a look at the Tesoro Excalibur SE Spectrum with blue optical switches.
