ASUS ROG Strix Flare Mechanical Keyboard Review
|
 ASUS has always been a forefront in the PC industry focusing on fundamentals, innovation, and aesthetics. Their latest product featured from the special Republic of Gamers or ROG, is the Strix Flare Cherry MX mechanical keyboard. ROG is a recognized leader in gaming and overclocking performance, where the Strix term refers to advanced enhancements or features (compared to standard stock bins). In this case it is the customizing of profiles and a great plethora of RGB spectrum displays on the very keys themselves!

Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L & Q300P PC Cases Review
|
|
Back in January at CES when we visited with Cooler Master they showed us their Q300L and Q300P mini-tower cases. These cases not only looked great, but had an equally great price at $39.99 for the Q300L and $69.99 for the Q300P. On the inside both of these cases are the same supporting Micro-ATX motherboards, full-size graphics cards, 3 hard drives, and even some water-cooling. They offer all of that in a very small package. On the outside is where these cases are different. The Q300L is more subtle while the Q300P has extra paneling, handles on the top and bottom, and two RGB LED fans. Let’s take a look at these two affordable cases and see if they are perfect for your next build!"

BlackVue DR900S-2CH Dashcam
|
|
A while back we were introduced to Pittasoft when we reviewed the BlackVue DR650S-2CH dashcam. Overall we were quite happy with the performance, but there were a few improvements we would have liked to see. When I recently heard the DR900S-2CH was coming out, I jumped on the chance to look at the new and improved device. The biggest improvement on paper is now the primary camera is capable of 4K resolution and the rear is 1080P.

The ADATA SX8200 SSD ushers in new performance records for our SSD reviews. Despite the use of TLC, speeds are incredible.

ZOOZ Z-Wave Plus Indoor Siren ZSE01
|
|
The ZOOZ Z-Wave Plus Indoor Siren ZSE01 is a great choice for those looking to add a siren to the their smart home ecosystem. It is fairly easy to connect, has a variety of mounting options, and functions just as you would expect. The handful of things that really drew me to it are the fact that it is AC powered with battery backup, features the benefits of Z-Wave Plus, and when plugged in to AC power it will function as a Z-Wave repeater.

|
Today we look at a water cooler from the Asian company Barrow, which is less popular in Europe. Can it keep up with the local top dogs of well-known brand manufacturers? Are there any disadvantages and how does it overclock? Also this time there is the test including a new OCinside YouTube channel video of the whole system with the Barrow LTYK3-04, Enermax NEOChanger, Intel Core i7-7700K, ASUS ROG Maximus IX Code, ASUS ROG Poseidon GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3600 and Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 in a Lian Li Alpha 550 case.

FSP CMT520
|
|
The FSP CMT520 should not be mistaken for an evolutionary step up from the CMT510. It does not only come with a completely different internal feel, but also a different external look. The changes result in great dual radiator support, better RGB fan compatibility with motherboards, and better storage capabilities.

Havit's HV-KB390L low-profile mechanical keyboard
|
|
Havit's HV-KB390L low-profile mechanical keyboard comes from a company you may not have heard of, but its low-profile chassis and short-stroke switches make this a board worth paying attention to for the space-conscious enthusiast. We put the HV-KB390L to the test to see whether it offers typing bliss to low-profile keyboard fans.

AOC G2590PX 24.5in 144Hz Gaming Monitor Review
|
|
Most things in computing get smaller over time, so you get more of them in the same space for less money. But while screen fabrication technology obeys this law too, the popular sizes of monitors have been increasing. After 19in came 24in, and now 27in is becoming ubiquitous. Nevertheless, for certain room sizes, the 24in class is still a sweet spot, particularly if you don’t have £500 to spend on your TFT. AOC’s G2590PX comes in at less than half that, yet is still packed with features for the avid gamer.
