We again descend from eight towards six processor cores and twelve threads, this round with the Core i5 11400F, a processor that might be considered the most high-grade value for money in the Rocket Lake-S range from Intel with a listed price of roughly 157 USD.

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?

ASRock Z590 Extreme review

This Z590 motherboard from ASRock should be Extreme, as that's in the naming. Realistically this socket LGA1200 and Z590 chipset-based product is a bit more 'normal' than others in terms of features. And that shows in pricing as we leave the 500 USD marker behind us, and drop to 200 USD/EUR.

Gigabyte is back in the house with their familiar Radeon RX 6700 XT Gaming OC. A graphics card aimed at the WQHD (2560x1440) monitor range, armed with a triple fan-based WindForce cooler that remains silent and keeps the product nicely chilled down. The OC edition includes a factory tweak, though factory tweaks gain little additional performance these days.

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.

Corsair RM650x (2021) power supply review

We review the RM650x power supply from Corsair. This is the 2021 update for the RM series and next to an aesthetic overhaul is offered in a silent RMx series that comes with 80plus Gold certification, which means it's 90% efficient at 50% load. Efficiency matters. The PSU itself is fully modular, for most of you with a side panel window in their chassis a must really as you'll want modular cables.

be quiet! gave their Silent Loop All-in-One Liquid cooling kit series an overhaul, and with success, we can say. The Silent loop 2 performs well and remains very silent. An updated pump design, a notch of RGB, and a coolant loop that can be refilled. We test the 280mm rad size version with two Silent Wings 3 fans.

Corsair K55 RGB PRO XT keyboard review

Corsair has released its new K55 RGB PRO XT series keyboard. The units have overhauled aesthetics, a better price point, and more RGB lighting zone than you can imagine. The truly interesting thing however is that the keyboard is membrane-based, so no mech switches here. This 69 USD product also has six G keys that can be configured with the Elgato Stream deck software and of course, iCUE also.

Sapphire is back in the house with the grand design NITRO+ Radeon RX 6700 XT. For something in the WQHD monitor range, this card has been build to impress with that massive beefy triple-fan cooler and a factory tweak. Next to that, the dual BIOS mode will guarantee silent operation (if you want it).

Priced at $479 USD, AMD released their 'mainstream to high-end Radeon RX 6700 XT. A product that is to battle with the RTX 3060 Ti and 3070 from team green. Armed with 12GB of graphics memory, will it offer enough performance for a graphics card with such a massive pricetag?

The Corsair K65 RGB Mini is a totally different proposition from Corsair. Yes, there were other K65's in the past. Yes, it’s a mechanical keyboard with RGB, but this time it comes in a small package (and I don’t mean the box). What can this newborn offer us? Well, plenty.

G.Skill Enki 360 LCS liquid cooler review

17 comment(s) ]
Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from G.Skill: the Enki 360. It’s a debut for this brand in that sector, just like with Lian Li in July ’20. As for the name, Enki is the ancient Sumerian god of water, so that’s not a bad idea for this kind of product. We’ve received a 360 mm variant of this LCS, but there’s also a 240 mm and a 280 mm version, in case your chassis can’t fit the largest one (no pun intended) or if you’re on a tighter budget.

Samsung returns with a new M.2 NVMe SSD in their reputable 900 series product line, this, however, is a value proposition. We test the new Samsung SSD 980, which would be the non-PRO model. It is a product that sticks to PCIe Gen 3.0, but also Samsung stripped away the DRAM cache, now solely utilizing HMB (Host Memory Buffer).
