Hardware reviewers are testing a new Shuttle barebone PC that accommodates modern Intel processors alongside improved cooling systems for the chassis. While budget builders appreciate the MSI air cooler, overclockers might find better value in a Silverstone liquid solution designed for RAM overclocking. The display market sees two significant QD-OLED updates from MSI, both offering high refresh rates and 4K resolution at lower price points than their predecessors. The roundup concludes with praise for Death Stranding 2 as a smarter sequel and an updated entry-level phone that improves specs without increasing costs.

ThinkComputers: MSI MAG COREFROZR AA13 CPU Cooler Review

When you hear the name MSI you likely think of graphics cards and motherboards, but they actually make pretty much every other component for your PC as well. We’ve had the chance to take a look at a few of their liquid CPU coolers, so now it is time to see what their air coolers are all about. Today we are taking a look at the MAG COREFROZR AA13. This single-tower, single-fan air cooler is positioned as a very affordable option at under $25 and should offer easy installation and a sleek look with the RGB lighting on the fan. Let’s take a look and see what this cooler is all about!

KitGuru: MSI MAG 272UP X24 Review (4K/240Hz QD-OLED)

Today we're back with another QD-OLED monitor review, as we check out the MSI MAG 272UP X24. This is the cheapest 4K OLED we have seen to-date, as it's currently retailing for under £500 here in the UK. That money gets you a 4th Gen QD-OLED panel, with a 27in screen size, UHD resolution and 240Hz refresh rate. It certainly sounds good on paper, but let's see exactly what this monitor can do in the real world…

IgorsLAB: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review – A brilliant sequel that I warmed up to surprisingly quickly

There are sequels that want to be bigger than the original, and there are sequels that are smarter. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach clearly belongs in the second category for me. The game does not simply try to recreate the first part with more budget, more particles, and an even more cryptic Kojima glance into the metaphysical toolbox.
