Lamptron HM101 review
Posted by: on: 05/27/2020 10:40 AM [
8 comment(s) ]
Lamptron is trying to find its new niche. They’re a company known mainly for their fan controllers – something that’s seldom used anymore, because most motherboards have fan headers now, and there are hardly any cases with 5.25”drive bays. This time, we’re checking out their LCD screen for monitoring PC h/w data, the HM101. It’s this manufacturer’s subsequent attempt at market innovation, following in the footsteps of the Lamptron SM436 PCI Fan and LED controller.

We review the new Core i5-10600K processor from Intel. Priced at 262 USD, this processor based on Comet Lake-S architecture and tied to the Z490 platform comes with 6 cores and twelve threads. It has an all-core turbo to 4500 MHz and may boost to 4.8 GHz on two cores. Just what the doctor ordered in that mainstream gaming arena?

In this review we look at the ASRock Z490 Taichi. The new series is aimed to become the more niche segment solution priced in a 439 USD / 449 Euro range, it comes with AX WIFI, and has that intel 2.5 Gbps ethernet jack. That and some pretty terrific design choices from an aesthetic point of view.

We review what I find to be one of the better looking and properly fast DDR4 memory kits ever. G.Skill TridentZ NEO DDR4, now nicely dense up at 32GB per DIMM module. This TridentZ NEO 64GB (x2 32GB) memory is not just purring nicely at 3600 MHz, it has XMP 2.0 memory profiles compatible with both intel and Ryzen platforms as well. Hey, volume over frequency configured at CL18-25-25-45.

Lexar refreshed its NVMe lineup with the NM610 series M2 Solid State Drives. A value SSD proposition on the 8cm M2 form factor. The Lexar NM610 can read up to 2100 MB/s and write up to 1600MB/s. It does so with a trick though, as it uses a small slice of your RAM memory as buffer.

Populating NAS servers with an SSD is the next big trend for that storage solution. With prices coming down and storage volume sizes going up we just had to check out the 1 TB SA500 from Western Digital. Is this Western Digital product is fast enough for even a 10 Gbit/s NAS server?

Phanteks Enthoo 719 (aka Luxe 2) review

0 comment(s) ]
This time, we’re taking a look at the Phanteks Enthoo 719, a full-tower PC chassis with some RGB in it (not exaggerated), which already had its debut back in August 2019. Although half a year has passed since then, there’s a good reason for this delayed review. We’re going to use this chassis for some interesting stuff later, but not without presenting the product to Guru3D readers first (at least those of you who didn’t have a chance to read about it elsewhere).

We test and review the EK AIO 240 D-RGB, an all-in-one liquid cooling kit from EK that can be bought in a dandy design with versions running up-to a 360mm rad. The kits come with Vardar RGB / aRGB compatible fans. Being EK, we do expect some decent cooling performance; armed with the fans, sleeved tubing and a pretty snazzy looking cooling block we'll see what EK has to offer in the massive LCS kit arena.

It has been around 4-5 months since the last version of this guide, and the world is very much a changed place since then. The pandemic of the SARS-COV-2 / COVID-19 virus has thoroughly left its mark on 2020, having shut entire nations down. This article has been in the works for a fair while but we wanted to wait, but then decided that during this outbreak, many people will purchase or buy a (Game) PC for home-usage.
