Silicon Power PX10 1TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 External SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2025-01-19 read/post comments(0)

PX10 USB 3.2 Gen2 drive from Silicon Power does look great and performs really well without throttling even during long write workloads thanks to the aluminum chassis which does also act as a heatspreader. We noted the top area of the heatsink becomes quite hot after a while, telling us the thermal transfer is done as needed, while the bottom plastic cover makes sure the drive remains light during transport (only 33 grams). read more

Crucial 32GB (16GBx2) DDR5-6400 CUDIMM Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2025-01-12 read/post comments(0)

Despite the high latency of C52, the DDR5-6400 CUDIMM kit from Crucial does trade punches with the Silicon Power Pulse C30 DDR5-6000 DIMM kit we have reviewed just some time ago, which is a great thing to see for a memory running at a such low voltage! During our testing, the memory remained cool all the time so are definitely recommended to be installed in systems with less-than-ideal airflow as well. read more

ACER Predator Hera 32GB DDR5-7200 RGB Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2025-01-03 read/post comments(0)

Predator Hera DDR5-7200 memory kit is definitely a high-end product, which impressed us with stability not only running at stock settings, but also allowed increasing the operating frequency of up to 3800MHz, for operating at 7600MT/s, this without raising the stock voltage and keeping the latencies at stock settings! read more

SteelSeries Apex PRO Gen 3 Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2025-01-01 read/post comments()

Apex PRO Gen 3 improves upon the already high-end Apex Pro TKL 2023 from SteelSeries, being overkill for the mainstream gamer. It comes with a ton of configuration options, while the adjustable actuation thanks to the Hall-effect switches is really next-level! The actuation can be set as low as 0.1mm and setting up dual-function keys with dual-actuation can really help in various games. The keyboard has been also improved with extra dampening layers, to provide quiet typing experience, so it can be used easily for productivity work. read more

AQIRYS LYNX Gaming Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2024-12-29 read/post comments(0)

After customizing LYNX to our liking, we played some Path of Exile 2, Silent Hill 2, The Dark Pictures: “Devil in Me” but also Smite 2. For casual gamers, LYNX does feel right at home, tracking well in all situations, not requiring very high DPI settings or overly complicated features. The customization options are quite interesting considering the entry-level segment where it is positioned and while the button covers and back panels are removable with other brands as well, the board with easy swappable switches is a novelty for the price the mouse sells at. read more

Crucial 32GB (16GBx2) DDR5-5600 SODIMM Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2024-12-24 read/post comments()

Even if we are dealing with a kit with the same main latencies as the stock Kimtigo Semi KT8GS5PA4-H DDR5-6000 sticks, we noted a small, but visible performance boost overall, which is quite impressive! Thanks to the Crucial 32GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM kit, the ECS Liva Z7 Plus can be used with more applications at once, without worrying about memory filling up, so we won’t hesitate to recommend it as a next upgrade path! read more
