IgorsLAB: GD900 and GD-2 in the thermal paste discount review - Purchase warning and a look into the alchemist's kitchen of horror
There are many thermal conductive pastes – good ones, bad ones and then there are those from GD. Today in the test: two products that could hardly be more different at first glance, but ultimately share a sad and common fate – they perform underground. We are talking about the GD900 and the GD-2, two pastes from “GD High Conductivity Electronics”, which are regularly marketed in online stores as a “low-cost alternative” to branded products. And that’s true – if by “alternative” you mean a low-performance, unstable and chemically questionable mix that has only one advantage: the price.

KitGuru: Philips Evnia 27M2N8500 Review (1440p/360Hz QD-OLED)
It's been a while since we last reviewed a screen from Philips Evnia, but that changes today as we analyse the 27M2N8500. Offering the same 1440p 360Hz QD-OLED panel that we've seen from the likes of the MSI 271QRX and Gigabyte Aorus FO27Q3, the 27M2N8500 isn't doing anything groundbreaking with its technology. That said, with an RRP drop to just £500 as of May 1st, it's sure to raise an eyebrow or two, so let's dive in and see if this display is worth the cash…

BabelTechReviews: Starship Troopers: Continuum (PSVR2) Review — Rico’s Roughnecks Return
After decades of cult appeal, Starship Troopers gets a fresh psychic-fueled twist in Starship Troopers: Continuum, an ambitious squad-based tactical shooter for VR that embraces its campy military sci-fi roots while injecting layered gameplay systems and co-op madness. With Casper Van Dien reprising his iconic role as Johnny Rico, this title is both a love letter and an experiment, and for fans of the franchise, it mostly sticks the landing.

BabelTechReviews: Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel Review — A Mythic Fury Unleashed
Set in the chilling heart of Ragnarök, Jötunnslayer: Hordes of Hel throws players into a beautifully brutal Norse realm torn apart by monstrous giants, restless dead, and the wrath of Hel herself. This roguelite action RPG blends fast-paced, skill-intensive combat with mythological storytelling and punishing progression mechanics to create a uniquely engaging experience, but not without its frostbitten flaws.

The HP Poly Voyager Free 20 wireless earbuds mark HP’s foray into the premium earbud market, blending their enterprise communication expertise with consumer-level comfort and usability. With effective active noise cancellation (ANC), a lightweight design, and solid call quality, these earbuds are tailored for professionals who need reliable performance during meetings and commutes — but they’re not without flaws.

Hardware Busters: HuntKey WD650K PSU Review - 80 Plus Gold?
The WD650K is an affordable PSU made by one of China’s largest PSU OEMS, Huntkey. This PSU is popular in the Chinese market but not so popular in markets outside Asia. I was able to spot it on Newegg at the crazy price of $188! Read the full review to learn more about this PSU and check what is available in the Asian market.

NikKTech: Kingston FURY Renegade G5 2TB Gen5 NVMe SSD Review
The FURY Renegade G5 is Kingston’s very first Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD and all I can say is it was well worth the wait.
EnosTech.com: SilverStone MS12-40G USB4 Enclosure Review
Earlier, we tested SilverStone MS12 and MS13, which are M.2 SATA & NVMe to USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 enclosures, respectively. This time around, we are taking a look at a new enclosure from SilverStone, which is MS12-40G. As the name indicates, this enclosure provides USB 4.0 speeds of up to 40Gbps on M.2 NVMe drive. I guess SilverStone is not coming out with a new name rather covering the USB 4.0 enclosure under MS12 naming.
