Installation

For the purpose of this review, the AOC AGON AG271QG monitor has been used. It’s a WQHD, G-Sync, and 165 Hz display. This monitor is quite tricky for this product as the surface of the back is not flat. The manufacturer suggests cleaning and wiping the surface of the mounting site with a soft and clean cloth. Attach the controller to the back of the monitor or place it securely on the installation site with the mounting plates.

Connect one end of the power cord to the power supply and the other end to an electrical outlet, and then connect the round end of the power supply cord to the controller. Plug the micro USB cable into the controller, then plug the USB-A into an available USB port in the system.

For single and dual monitor setups, mount the vertical 250mm strip on the right side first (1), connect to the horizontal 450mm strip on the top (2), continue with the other 250mm strip on the left side (3), and finish on the bottom with the second 450mm strip (4). Installing all of the strips on the back of the monitor is a breeze thanks to pre-applied adhesive tape. All four strips have typical 4-pin connectors, and you need to make sure that you’ve aligned the arrows correctly when you connect the power leads. One note here: for me, the best way to remove the paper film from the double-sided sticky tape was with my mouth, rather than my hands (you don’t want to inadvertently remove a bit of the tape from the strip itself).

For dual monitors, additional 450mm-long strips can be purchased separately to expand the connection to the 2^nd monitor.

Secure the extension cables with the cable management clips. Between unboxing and activation, we spent maybe ten minutes setting up the product, and most of it disconnecting the monitor, cleaning it, and reconnecting it to the PC. Every part of the kit is designed for simplicity, down to the improved adhesive on the RGB LED strips. The USB and power cables are quite long (especially the USB one) and should prove sufficient for most users. And that’s it for the installation process.

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600 MHz 32GB review
Today, we are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro SL 3600 MHz CL18 (pretty average latency figure) memory in a 32 GB set consisting of two 16 GB modules. This is not the first time we’re looking at the Corsair RAM. It was for example the Vengeance RGB Pro (4x8 GB 3200MHz) or Dominator Platinum (4x8 GB 3600 MHz CL16). Ok, but what’s different comparing the above mentioned Vengeance RGB Pro series?

Corsair K70 RGB TKL keyboard review
The Corsair K70 RGB TKL comes from a range of keyboards that we already presented here on guru3d. We reviewed the K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, which comes also in a low-profile version. So, the first major difference this time is the tenkeyless format. Other than that, this keyboard has not changed much as far as the general concept is concerned. It is, of course, still an RGB mechanical keyboard, but this time it comes in a smaller package.
