Show and Tell with the New Logitech Reach 2-in-1 Webcam and Overhead Camera, We Go Hands On

Content creators often find themselves not just needing a static positioned camera to show their faces, but something to show on a bench or a table from an overhead viewpoint, and which can be easily repositioned. Perhaps the best example would be game streamers wanting a viewport showing their user inputs in real time; or an engineering content creator wanting to show something on their bench from top. For these applications and more, Logitech launched the new Logitech Reach, a 2-in-1 Full HD webcam and overhead camera. The star attraction here isn't the camera itself, but its armature, which has been meticulously engineered by Logitech to provide a near-spherical freedom of movement for the camera. Reposition it in real time, and it will hold its position—no need to turn any fasteners to hold it in place, but a simple locking mechanism.

The armature of the Logitech Reach allows full 360° freedom of motion for the camera along a radius. The second axis of movement is vertical, letting you raise of lower the distance between the camera and the object, so you could optically zoom. Besides horizontal and vertical movements, the camera itself is suspended along an pivot, for an added dimension. Moving the camera around is single handed, and practically effortless. The Reach allows content creators to easily and quickly change viewpoints, from themselves, to an object that they're trying to show their audience. The camera additionally features an up to 4.3x lossless zoom, autofocus, and intrinsic image stabilization from the armature.

SK Hynix Throws a Jab: CAMM is Coming to Desktop PCs

In a surprising turn of events, SK Hynix has hinted at the possibility of the Compression Attached Memory Module (CAMM) standard, initially designed for laptops, being introduced to desktop PCs. This revelation came from a comment made by an SK Hynix representative at the CES 2024 in Las Vegas for the Korean tech media ITSubIssub. According to the SK Hynix representative, the first implementation is underway, but there are no specific details. CAMM, an innovative memory standard developed by Dell in 2022, was certified to replace SO-DIMM as the official standard for laptop memory. However, the transition to desktop PCs could significantly disrupt the desktop memory market. The CAMM modules, unlike the vertical DRAM sticks currently in use, are horizontal and are screwed into a socket. This design change would necessitate a complete overhaul of the desktop motherboard layout.

The thin, flat design of the CAMM modules could also limit the number that can be installed on an ATX board. However, the desktop version of the standard CAMM2 was announced by JEDEC just a month ago. It is designed for DDR5 memory, but it is expected to become mainstream with the introduction of DDR6 around 2025. While CAMM allows for higher speeds and densities for mobile memory, its advantages for desktops over traditional memory sticks are yet to be fully understood. Although low-power CAMM modules could offer energy savings, this is typically more relevant for mobile devices than desktops. As we move towards DDR6 and DDR7, more information about CAMM for desktops will be needed to understand its potential benefits. JEDEC's official words on the new standard indicate that "DDR5 CAMM2s are intended for performance notebooks and mainstream desktops, while LPDDR5/5X CAMM2s target a broader range of notebooks and certain server market segments." So, we can expect to see CAMM2 in both desktops and some server applications.

The V1 Ultra is a premium version claimed to be the world's first single-panel LCD-based 4K Ultra HD projector.

NVIDIA Corrects L2 Cache Spec for GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

NVIDIA has recently revised its specification sheet for the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GPU—a small mistake was included in their review guide and marketing material. Team Green workers were likely in a rush to get everything ready for RTX 40xx SUPER range's official unveiling at CES 2024, so a typo here and there is not unexpected. The RTX 4070 SUPER's AD104 GPU configuration was advertised as offering a 20% core count upgrade over the vanilla RTX 4070 (non-SUPER), but detail sensitive sleuths were somewhat puzzled with the SUPER's L2 cache designation of 36 MB. Various 2023 leaks suggested that 48 MB was the correct value; representing a 33% jump up from the standard 4070's L2 pool. We must note that TPU's GPU database had the correct spec entry since day one.

Bitspower at 2024 CES: Griffin Radiator Fans, Summit Blocks, New Water Cooling Gear, Enigma Light Panels

Bitspower brought a large bag of new toys at the 2024 International CES. The first thing that caught our attention was a familiar-looking case with infinity reflection lighting. On a closer look, it turned out to be a Lian Li PC-O11D Evo XL that's been given a neat aesthetic uplift thanks to the new Enigma Light Panel kit by Bitspower. You arrange these along the edges of your side- and front panels, and the provide an impressive, infinity reflection effect. It works with standard 3-pin ARGB, so you can mix it with your regular lighting setup.

There are various sizes, ranging from 120 mm x 120 mm, going all the way up to 803 mm. x 140 mm, with fitting ports at strategic locations to align with your CPU and VGA blocks, and radiators. The reservoirs come with preparation for a standard D5 pump, and feature a side cover that has the ARGB LED lighting, the diodes aren't studded into the acrylic as such. Bitspower released a mounting brackets of various sizes to help you correctly mount the reservoirs and accessories in place.

INNOCN Gaming Monitors at 2024 CES: OLED and Fast IPS with MiniLED Dominate

INNOCN brought its latest gaming monitors to the 2024 International CES; it didn't waste out time with monitors based on 15 year old tech; but rolled out the very latest—IPS with miniLED backlighting, and OLED. The Titan Army P27A6V is a 27-inch planar display with 4K Ultra HD resolution and a blistering 144 Hz refresh rate (which is high, considering this is 4K). This display uses an IPS panel with miniLED backlighting, and meets DisplayHDR 1000 spec. Display connectivity include HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, both of which provide enough bandwidth of 4K HDR @ 144 Hz. Brilliant stuff, but this is "only" a 27-inch display, which will incur Hi-DPI scaling. Need something bigger? Check out the Titan Army P32A6V, which has identical specs to the P27A6V, but in a larger 32-inch planar format. Both these displays come in gunmetal gray and matte-white body color variants.

Switching up gears is the INNOCN M27E6V, a 27-inch planar display with a Fast IPS panel paired with miniLED backlighting. This one provides 4K Ultra HD with even faster 160 Hz refresh rate, and support for HDR 1400, and 99% coverage of DCI-P3. Inputs include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB type-C (DisplayPort passthrough). You can use the monitor in single cable mode if the USB-C connection is capable of delivering 90 W. The next premium display is the Titan Army G27E8S, a 26.5-inch planar display that uses an OLED panel, and meant for performance gaming. You get a lower WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution than the other three displays we mentioned so far; but at higher 240 Hz refresh rate, and under 0.5 ms GTG response time, thanks to the OLED panel. Inputs include DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1. The display meets HDR10 spec.

Monokei Shows New Monokei Systems Low-profile, Modular, and Wireless Keyboard at CES 2024

Monokei is not a well-known name on the keyboard market, but its latest Monokei Systems certainly caught our attention at the CES 2024 show in Las Vegas. In addition to the new Monokei Systems, which is a modular low-profile mechanical keyboard, the company had its previous Monokei Standard keyboard on display as well, in both standard and Yuji and Megumi Edition designed by Jujutsu Kaisen.

As said, the star of the show is the Monokei Systems, a low-profile, modular, mechanical and wireless 75% keyboard with a choice between Kailh Choc v2 Silent or Choc v2 Tactile switches. The modular part is quite interesting as you can change pretty much everything, including switches, keycaps, gasket socks, top and bottom case and faceplate, all aluminium, can be easily replaced as these are held magnetically. You can even replace a PCB, which means endless possibilities and future upgrades. Monokei also offers new Series 2 keycaps as an optional purchase. The standard options are Cupertino Silver and Stockholm Night colors. As it is a 75% design there are no special keys other than a dial up knob.

Cooler Master Demos Prototype "Project VGA Cooler" at CES

Cooler Master's research and design team seems to be up to all sorts of shenanigans lately—company representatives at CES 2024 had the joyful experience of hyping up a curiosity/prototype bearing the moniker "Project VGA Cooler." It certainly is a tough sell to explain to punters how an aftermarket part can usurp the performance offered by a manufacturer's standard fitting of triple-fan arrays on already pricey custom high-end GeForce RTX 40xx cards. The plucky Project VGA Cooler was showcased in white or dark silver forms, accompanied by twin Mobius 120 mm fans. The spec sheet states that these utilize special loop dynamic bearings, although we are not certain whether the special Mobius fans are customized for this project specifically.

TPU staff witnessed an ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 TUF graphics card getting the refit treatment—its original triple-fan array was removed, and the experimental aftermarket part was attached to the TUF's remaining heatsink and shroud. Cooler Master's demonstration proceeded smoothly, but this publication questions whether these prototype GPU cooling units are truly prepared for a universal fit across a wide variety of expensive current generation GeForce RTX models, or Radeon RX equivalents. Cooler Master's design team likely has to be careful in choosing specific or popular GPU models, once "Project VGA Cooler" exits the conceptual phase of development and approaches final retail form.

PlayStation 5 Slim Deep Earth Cover Collection Debuted at CES

Sony PlayStation has surprised attendees at CES 2024 with the unveiling of custom color slim console covers—the molten metallic finishes on display at their booth are Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Sterling Silver. The presence of matching DualSense controllers confirms that Sony is likely rolling out another batch of its Deep Earth Collection, fashioned specifically for its youthful PS5 Slim refresh (launched back in November 2023). Owners of the standard PlayStation 5 were granted access to the shiny and colorful cover and controller range last Autumn.

The Verge reckons that the Deep Earth Slim covers will go on sale for $54.99 MSRP—which is the same price point given for the standard PS5 customization option. They also note some aesthetical differences: "Unlike the standard white PS5 slim, these don't have the glossy / matte split between the top and bottom plates. I prefer matte all the way, so I'm happy to see that...There's no avoiding dust on that black center section of the PS5, unfortunately." It is encouraging to see Sony rolling out these optional extras so soon after the release of their PS5 Slim model, although they are probably eager to make a bit of profit on accessory sales (margins are tighter when selling core hardware).

MSI Shows Off Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Products at CES

MSI and CAPCOM announced a Monster Hunter-themed product partnership last week—this popular Japanese-made gaming franchise is celebrating its twentieth year in 2024. As promised in last week's declaration, MSI managed to exhibit their concept prototypes at an exclusive booth, in close proximity to everything else they had going on at the Las Vegas Convention Center. TPU staffers had a lot of items on their proverbial plates chez MSI, so not everything MH 20th Anniv. related was captured in glorious detail.

The MSI MPG GUNGNIR 300 Monster Hunter Edition case was prominently placed at the front of MSI's special booth; TPU was surprised to see that a full system had been put together inside of it. Naturally, franchise-themed hardware was visible through a glass side panel—including MH-themed case fans. The fully operational gaming system was hooked up to a MAG 274QRF QD E2 Monster Hunter Edition gaming monitor.

Cooler Master Showcases MasterKeys & MasterMouse Products at CES '24

Cooler Master presented its upcoming MasterKeys hybrid wireless gaming keyboard at CES 2024—the MK770 was debuted at last year's event, but has not reached retail in the iterim period. A variety of chassis and keycap color sets were showcased at CES '23, but that tally has decreased at Cooler Master's 2024 convention exhibit—Space Gray and Macaron are the two consolidated choices. The feature set presented a year ago seems to be largely intact—TPU noted that the MK770 is still advertised as having a hot-swappable mechanical switch system, gasket structure (for noise and vibration reduction), coupled with a noise-absorbing design plus silicone dampers. Kailh Box V2 switches are part of this customizable package, plus US and TC regional versions will get high-purity PBT double shot keycaps, for increased durability and long-lasting colors.

The MasterMouse MM712 Wired Gaming mouse also made a re-appearance at CES 2024. We last witnessed this small + lightweight (sub 50 grams) pointing device at Cooler Master's Computex 2023 booth, alongside its fancier MM712 PRO wireless sibling. The wired version sits alone at this year's event; we are not sure why the PRO version is absent. The MM712 Wired is presented as a permanently Ultraweaved cable-equipped alternative to Cooler Master's existing MM712 hybrid model, although the shell and main buttons have been redesigned to eliminate uncomfortable pinching of skin. The spec sheet confirms that Pixart's top-flight PAW3395 optical sensor has been integrated into the MM712 Wired, granting a maximum 26,000 DPI setting.

GAMDIAS Cases at 2024 CES: Neso P1 Elite, Atlas P1, and More

GAMDIAS has a vast lineup of gaming cases that's nearly 50 individual models strong. At the 2024 International CES, the company brought some of its latest case models that it plans to launch throughout the year; including some of its recent cases that came out no sooner than Q4-2023. The New Neso P1 Elite is an upscale model based on GAMDIAS's unique Neso P1 case that can be oriented both as a tower, or as a pedestal case, where you can take advantage of its single-piece curved tempered glass panel to provide a great view from the top at your gaming PC built. With the Neso P1 Elite, the company made improvements to the design of the motherboard tray over the original; added new magnetic modular pedestals that are easier to swap between the two case orientations than something you bolt-onto the panel; the addition of top-panel air vents with an elevated glass top panel; and improvements to the usability of the side-facing radiator. This is, for all intents and purposes, a vertically-partitioned case; except the right side partition doesn't come all the way to the front; but roughly two inches beyond the motherboard tray. This way the right side panel has not just a broad crawlspace, but also room for your PSU and storage.

Next up, is the Atlas P1, which is a conventional horizontally-partitioned mid-tower, but where the bottom partition has some useful feature additions such as a programmable display that puts out real-time fan-speed and temperature monitoring. Although the the front- and left side panels are flush, with no steel pillars in the way; they are not one continuous piece of glass, a mechanical push-type lock releases the side panel along hinges. The top panel can be removed without any tools, which makes working on the liquid-cooling setup is easier. The case has enough room for two radiators as large as 420 mm x 140 mm, one at the top panel, and the other facing the right side. GAMDIAS has both the Atlas P1 and Neso P1 Elite. The Aura GC4 is a unique-looking mid-tower case that features a real oak Scandinavian style front-panel.

Cooler Master Presents New Case Designs at CES - Updates NR200P Series

Cooler Master has showcased a wide variety of new case designs, as well refreshed versions of enthusiast favorites at CES 2024—the NR200P Vision was given special placement on a purple lit podium. This striking revisement of CM's original NR200P model presents itself as a futuristic concept—a crowd of attendees was drawn to this compact spectacle. Cooler Master states that NR200P Vision's feature set would normally be reserved for high-end or studio-level enclosures, but they have worked on integrating these into a space-saving profile. Support for 240 and 280 mm liquid coolers is mentioned on their interactive tablet display, as well as a provision for large GPUs (356 mm long, 160 mm high) via a vertical mounting system. An extra holder will be included to keep everything firmly in place. TPU staffers noticed that the Vision was fitted with wood (effect?) feet, suggesting that some style notes have been taken from Fractal Design's book.

The NR200P Vision features vented steel construction and striking tempered glass side panels—Cooler Master claims that this headliner has the performance to match its good looks. The Taiwanese hardware manufacturer made some room at their booth for another NR200-series refresh—a NR200P V2 model was presented in black or white options. Past feedback has been taken onboard; the chassis design team has made sure to update the front I/O panel with a much requested USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type C port (offering up to 20 Gb/s transfer speeds). It seems that the NR200P Vision has received the same front-facing connectivity treatment.
