The DUEX Plus is Mobile Pixels' mid-range 13.3" screen add-on for notebooks. With its versatile USB-powered interface, it caters to those with portable compact systems. Just like the DUEX Max, it sports a G-Sensor for easy rotation and the ability to prop it up in a portrait configuration.
Astell&Kern is a premium audio brand known for its DAPs, but it has several headphones and IEMs in collaboration with others. The AK ZERO1 is the company's first self-developed set of IEMs, and it has many engineering chops courtesy a tribrid driver configuration with a unique planar magnetic driver and vocal-first tuning.
The Kioxia Exceria Pro is the company's first PCI-Express 4.0 SSD offering. As the controller, the highly popular Phison E18 is used, paired with 112-layer 3D TLC NAND flash from Toshiba. This combination achieves excellent performance that's breathing down the necks of the Samsung 980 Pro and WD Black SN850.
The Intel Core i9-12900KS is the company's new flagship Alder Lake processor. After our review, we can confirm that it is the "world's fastest gaming CPU," but that comes at a price not only in terms of dollars, but increased power draw and heat output, too.
Gigabyte's full-size, thin, and light 360 Hz notebook, the Aorus 17, comes fitted with a 12th Gen Alder Lake Intel mobile CPU and NVIDIA Ampere mobile GPU, including the RTX 3060, RTX 3070Ti or RTX 3080Ti. Available in a host of configurations, we take a look at the 3080Ti version combined with an Intel 12700H and DDR5.
CORSAIR builds upon its Hydro XD3 and XD5 pump/reservoir combo units with the premium Hydro XD7 using a Xylem D5 pump paired with a flat reservoir shaped to look like three stacked RGB fans. Adding to the appeal is the integrated distro plate to plumb water blocks and radiators for a clean and unique-looking build.
There are very few desktop PSUs with 2 kW or more maximum power output. The Cooler Master M2000 Platinum is one. While a good performer and very efficient at even full load, it is very expensive, only has 200–240 V input, and isn't ATX v3.0 ready.
With the M480 Play, MSI upgrades its SSD offerings to use the latest and greatest 176-layer 3D TLC flash from Micron. What MSI also improved is the heatsink, which is now fully compatible with the Sony PlayStation 5 and looks fantastic, thanks to a great mix of colors and a matte surface structure.
ThieAudio has been on a roll off late with appealing IEMs at various price points. Today, we look at its latest and greatest: the V16 Divinity flagship. It employs a whopping 16 Sonion and Knowles balanced armature drivers combined in a complex 5-way crossover per channel and aims to be a technical masterpiece for years to come.
The Xtrfy M4 Wireless is more than just an M4 made wireless. Much like the M42, the M4 Wireless is modular and can be used with a differently shaped back cover. Another novelty is the movable battery to adjust the center of gravity. On the technical side, PixArt's PAW3370 sensor, Kailh GM 8.0 main button switches, 75 hours of battery life, and a 70 g lightweight construction ensure high performance.
The 14.1" Mobile Pixel DUEX Max is their biggest add-on screen to date. It offers the same features as the DUEX Plus, including USB interfacing, power passthrough to secondary devices, a G-Sensor for easy rotation, and various placement scenarios.
The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is an impressive quad-slot graphics card. In our review, we found that it runs quieter than other RTX 3090 Ti tested today. MSI also included a large factory overclock with their card, which handles 4K60 with ease.
With the ASUS STRIX LC, ASUS is betting big on their liquid-cooled thermal solution. The card itself is more compact than other RTX 3090 Ti models because the cooling magic happens in the radiator. A large factory overclock is included, too, and the power limit adjustment range goes up to 525 watts.
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti offers a lot of customization options thanks to its triple BIOS that lets you pick between Normal, OC, and Performance. The massive quad-slot cooler keeps the card at good thermal levels, and the backplate is one of the best we've ever encountered.
Zotac is pricing their GeForce RTX 3090 Ti AMP Extreme aggressively, matching the NVIDIA Founders Edition. You still get a factory overclock, mesmerizing RGB lighting effects, and a large triple-slot, triple-fan thermal solution with dual BIOS.
G.SKILL is testing waters with the Trident Z5 DDR5-6400, an ultra-low latency kit. With impressive timings of 32-39-39-102, G.SKILL is pulling out all the stops. Tag along as we put the Trident Z5 DDR5-6400 through its paces!
Ghostwire Tokyo recently released on PC with support for NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), Unreal Engine's Temporal Super Resolution (TSR) and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). In this mini-review, we take a look at and compare the image quality and performance offered by these technologies in this game.
DUNU is back at it with an impressive set of IEMs that don't break the bank. The TITAN S takes inspiration from a cyberpunk world for its design language, and pairs a neutral-bright tuning with good build quality, excellent cable, functional carry case, and plenty of ear tips to make for a sub-$100 attraction.
The Intel Core i5-12600 doesn't have any E-cores, which makes it a fundamentally different processor than the Core i5-12600K, and thus very different than the naming would suggest. The Core i5-12600 is actually the fastest non-hybrid Alder Lake processor you can buy, but should you?
Sivga Audio is a relatively new brand out of China that aims to bring good-looking, well-built headphones to a more affordable market segment. Today, we examine the Sivga Robin (SV021) which comes in two wooden ear cup finishes and uses a well-tuned 50 mm dynamic driver for mainstream appeal at a nice price.
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 4 TB offers tons of capacity for all your games, applications, and files. Thanks to the combination of Phison E18 controller and Micron B47R 176-layer TLC NAND, it's also able to match the WD Black SN850, which is the fastest SSD we ever reviewed.
As the name already suggests, the Prime Mini is a smaller edition of the regular Prime. Much like its bigger brother, the Prime Mini comes with the TrueMove Pro sensor, optical-magnetical main-button switches, and a flexible, detachable cable, yet at a weight of just 63 g.
Neo Forza Faye brings to market a high-capacity kit that features a neutral, RGB-free aesthetic. With a 3200 MT/s memory profile and modest timings of 16-18-18-36, Neo Forza aims to compete in the prosumer sector. Follow along as we dive into this review and see what Neo Forza has to offer!
