A review that has been overdue is the 8-core Core i7-10700K processor from Intel. The 10th generation Intel Core desktop processors previously known as CML aka Comet Lake has been received with mixed feelings. Will the Core i7-10700K be a more attractive offer?

Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from Deepcool: the Castle 280EX. A new thing to emphasize in this review: we’ll also show you results for an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, not just the Intel Core i9 9900K this time. As for the hero of the review - it’s the third variant in the family. We already reviewed its smaller (240 mm) brother almost one year ago.

Powered by a Phison E13T controller and paired with Micron 96L 3D TLC NAND we check out the new P2 series NVMe M2 SSDs from Crucial. The series is not targeted at an enthusiast audience but rather is released as a value SSD with decent enough performance. But will that be enough?

Meet one of the nicer and smallest B550 Chipset based motherboards we review, the Mini-ITX based ASUS STRIX B550-I Gaming, at 17x17cm ASUS loaded this B550 motherboard with some good features including dual M2 slots, 2.5 GigE Ethernet, AX WIFI and a nicely designed VRM. Well, simply put it's nearly a mega motherboard at a mini size.

We test out the new mainstream NVMe M.2 SSD from Kioxia (formerly Toshiba memory). A very fast PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD might be hip and trendy, but for the vast majority of people a mainstream SSD at a good price with a proper warranty is plenty enough, so meet the Exceria NVMe 1TB SSD.

Samsung Unleashes its 870 QVO series SATA 6 Gb/s SSDs. As the Q in the name indicates, this is all new QLC based NAND. Don't worry, we'll explain it all but the bottom line is that you will see a new value product series that offers more bang for your bucks and an increase in volume sizes.

TeamGroup recently might have released a very fast PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD, but do not rule out the new Z340 which promises to set a few records on the PCIe Gen 3.0 interface. Advertised at 3400 MBs and a 1665 TBW value it immediately draws our attention.

The impact of memory timings and frequency on AMD Ryzen 3000 systems in games has been a topic of discussion. In this article we'll zoom in on specifically that. See, AMD made a change in 3rd generations Ryzen, aka "Zen 2" processors, splitting the memory controllers from the die that contains CPU cores. The DDR4 memory controller is located in the processor's 12 nm I/O controller die.

Today we are looking at Crucial Ballistix Gaming DDR4 3200 MHz CL16 memory in a 64 GB (4x 16 GB) set. It’s another offer from Micron, an American company, which brands its products Crucial and Ballistix, but you can still see some OEM solutions with the Micron name on them as well.

Remember that Seasonic Connect power supply? We have it on our test bench for a review today. It was finally introduced to the market on the 4th of March, after a long wait (they first presented it two years ago, at Computex 2018). It’s a brand new approach to the desktop PSU idea. Why’s that? Because this time you don’t receive everything integrated into a single unit, but two “modules” instead. One is a Seasonic PRIME 750 W 80 PLUS Gold certified power supply, and the other is the CONNECT device, which is essentially a backplane that is mounted to the PC case with magnets to provide connections for all the components. You need only two cables to link these segments together.

We review the Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB, a fast M.2 SSD that you can purchase for 129 USD these days. Labeled with Reads and Writes in the 3200/2000 MB/s ranges there however is an oddity to be found with this series, as that Q in the naming implies a substantial difference. Wanna know what that is?
