MSI has launched the MEG CoreLiquid E15 360 AIO, a $399.99 cooler featuring a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display and market-leading thermal performance for AMD and Intel platforms. In graphics performance, the first DLSS 5 benchmarks via NBA 2K27 reveal a massive 50% to 60% performance tax on native framerates, though reviewers praise the resulting visual fidelity as a game-changer for sports titles. For budget builders, the MSI FORGE GM340 Wireless mouse offers tri-mode connectivity and 57-gram weight for just $39.99, while the FSP Mega GM 1200W PSU delivers Platinum-tier efficiency and Cybenetics A++ acoustics at $229, albeit with limited US availability. Finally, Warner Bros. has released a highly-rated 4K restoration of Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! that improves video and audio quality but suffers from disappointingly thin bonus features.
Review Roundup: MSI's AMOLED AIO, NBA 2K27 DLSS 5 Benchmarks, and the $40 Mouse That Punches Above Its Weight
Today's reviews roundup include a $400 cooler with a built-in display, a Platinum-efficient PSU US buyers will have to hunt down, and DLSS 5 finally showing its teeth.
MSI has shipped its MEG CoreLiquid E15 360 AIO, and it's not subtle. The pump head sports a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with a 2240x1080 resolution. You can run default animations, monitor system metrics, or use MSI's EZ Display software to turn the block into an extended desktop monitor. It supports AMD AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA 1700/1851. Pricing starts at $399.99 for the black-and-gold model. Tom's Hardware notes excellent noise-normalized performance, easily taming a Ryzen 9 9950X3D running above 265W.

One of the best AIOs on the market, with stunning aesthetics and a 6.7-inch curved display.

It's a rather expensive cooler for what's inside, though the design and cooling capability do help justify the ask. At $400, you're paying heavily for the screen. The display also brings functional modes beyond just pretty wallpapers: default animations like the Penrose triangle, split-screen presets, and a full extended desktop mode. No RAM clearance issues were reported, which is a welcome relief for builders using tall DIMMs.
DLSS 5: NBA 2K27 Benchmarks Reveal a Steep Visual Tax
The embargo on DLSS 5 just lifted, and NBA 2K27 is the first title to support it. DSOGaming ran the benchmarks on an RTX 5090 paired with a Ryzen 9 7950X3D.
DLSS 5 on delivers a massive 50% to 60% performance hit at native resolutions. Keep in mind that this is without Super Resolution or Frame Generation enabled. You're looking at roughly 134 FPS at 1080p and 108 FPS at 1440p with ray tracing on, compared to 180 FPS on either resolution without the effect. At 4K, the base framerate drops to about 63 FPS native.
On top of that, the visual improvement is most noticeable in replays and close-ups, where players lose that "plastic" look and crowds gain realistic detail. The effect appears deliberately toned down by NVIDIA and 2K, falling weaker than unofficial DLSS 5 mods seen in other titles. Base framerates remain solid, meaning Multi-Frame Gen is still viable for latency-sensitive play. The verdict? "Without DLSS 5, NBA 2K27 looks fine. With DLSS 5, it becomes the best-looking sports game on any platform."

NVIDIA has just lifted the embargo for DLSS 5. So, we can share our benchmarks, some comparison screenshots, and our initial impressions.
MSI FORGE GM340 Wireless: $39.99 With No Compromises
At the other end of the spectrum, MSI dropped the FORGE GM340 Wireless for $39.99, and it punches way above its weight class. Weighing in at just 57 grams, this is one of the lightest mice in its segment. It uses the PAW3311 optical sensor with up to 12,000 DPI and six presets. Tri-mode connectivity covers MSI's 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C wired.
Funky Kit: MSI FORGE GM340 Wireless Mouse Review
Equipped with the high-performance PAW3311 optical sensor with up to 12,000DPI, this mouse delivers a perfect balance of pinpoint accuracy and ultra-low power consumption for consistent, top-tier performance. It's light-weight at only 57g and offers up to 82hrs of battery life. Tri-mode connectivity - Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz Wireless or USB-C.
Battery life is rated at a whopping 82 hours. Funky Kit gave it an 8.6/10, praising the ambidextrous design and comfort. Minimal RGB means the battery lasts, with a single color-coded LED near the scroll wheel indicating DPI level. It's an ultra-affordable option that works just as well for the office as it does for competitive play. No bads.
FSP Mega GM 1200W: Platinum Efficiency, Gold Label, Quiet as a Whisper
Next, the $229 FSP Mega GM 1200W. The unit hits Cybenetics A++ for acoustics and delivers Platinum-tier efficiency in real-world testing, even though it carries a Gold label from the official certifier. Tom's Hardware notes the efficiency averages 93% at 230V cold loads, peaking around 94.6%. It's also remarkably compact at 150 x 150 x 86 mm, which means it'll fit in mid-towers where larger 1200W units won't.
Tom's Hardware: FSP Mega GM 1200W power supply review: An in-house FSP platform that quietly overshoots its own Gold label
Features a compact footprint that is rare on a 1200W unit
You get a native PCIe 5.1 12V-2x6 connector capable of 600W, fully modular individually sleeved cabling, and a 10-year warranty. All-Japanese capacitors from Nippon Chemi-Con, Rubycon, and Nichicon keep things reliable. At $229 MSRP, the value is undeniable. The catch is US availability is extremely limited. European and Asian buyers should snap these up.
Mars Attacks! 4K: Best Transfer Ever, Thin Extras
Warner Bros. has restored Tim Burton's 1996 cult classic Mars Attacks! in 4K Ultra HD. The new transfer comes from original camera elements, and TweakTown calls it "arguably the best home-video presentation of the film ever made." The video is graded in Rec. 2020 with dynamic Dolby Vision and static HDR-10. The new Dolby Atmos mix brings worthwhile dimension to the surround sound, with clear dialogue priority and height-channel activity.
TweakTown scores the video at 80 and audio at 91. The low score comes from the extras, which total just 20 minutes across two featurettes. At $57.16 MSRP, collectors and Burton fans should pick this up despite the thin bonus disc. The video and audio are genuinely excellent; the limited content just holds back the overall rating.
TweakTown: Mars Attacks! (1996) 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Review
Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! gets a superb 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray upgrade from Warner Bros., but the bonus features are disappointingly brief.
That's the roundup for now. MSI's AIO ships immediately, the mouse is already available, and DLSS 5 support will roll out to more titles over time.
