Alphacool Eisbaer 360 Liquid CPU Cooling System Review

With a triple 120mm radiator, quick-lock mechanism, three "silent" 120mm fans and a high-performance ceramic pump the new Eisbaer 360 AIO Liquid CPU Cooling System by Alphacool should have no problem covering the needs of even the most demanding consumers.

Asus ROG Strix GL702VM Review

GTX 1060, Core i5 and G-Sync in a £1,200 gaming laptop. The first potential stumbling block is the aesthetic design, which in keeping with many a gaming laptop is going to elicit a love-it-or-loathe-it reaction. For me, personally, the ROG Strix GL702VM isn't a particularly attractive machine, and the orange-on-black colour scheme is without a doubt an acquired taste. It's too garish for my liking and attracts fingerprints en masse, which is a shame as the overall profile is quite likeable.

Asus's chassis measures 415mm x 280mm x 25mm in size, making it reasonably svelte for a system with a large, 17.3in screen, the display bezel is suitably slim, and the 2.7kg weight is about right for a machine of this ilk. Don't, however, expect premium build quality; this is, after all, a relatively affordable gaming PC. That means a liberal use of plastic materials throughout, so while the lid and palm rest is made to look like a brushed metal, it's not as rigid as it appears and both the top and bottom sections exhibit a fair amount of flex.

It's important on a 17.3in frame to provide a generous selection of I/O ports and the GL702VM doesn't disappoint. The laptop's left side is home to an audio jack, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Type-C with Thunderbolt, HDMI, mini DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet and a connector for the bundled 180W power supply. Over on the right there's an SD card reader, two further USB 3.0 ports and a Kensington lock.

Project Build: Crush – Part 1

So in the past, all of our project build logs have all been for ITX LAN rigs because that’s what I really enjoy the most. My personal main PC has been looking a little dated though and I finally set out to build a new full ATX build. This is an exciting one for me because I finally get to build an orange build and if you can’t tell orange is my favorite color. I’m calling this one Crush both because of the Orange Crush reference and because I hope it crushes all of the games/benchmarks I throw at it. Today I’m going to talk a little about the build it is replacing and start by checking out the case Crush will be in. Keep an eye out in the future as I build and customize the build piece by piece.
