OWC Express 1M2 SSD Enclosure Review - Fast and Fanless

The OWC Express 1M2 is a portable enclosure for M.2 NVMe SSDs that supports 40 Gbps on USB4 or Thunderbolt systems. It is among the rare few enclosures in its category that doesn't need active cooling, with its body doubling up as heatsink. It's also sold with preinstalled SSDs, but we're testing the one you pair with your own drive.

AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D Review - The Best Just Got Better

The AMD Ryzen 9850X3D builds on the already excellent 9800X3D without trying to shake up the market. Instead, it focuses on refining what already works. AMD delivers modest improvements with smarter tuning, and the same cache magic that gamers love. Thanks to a reasonable price increase, this processor will be a no-brainer pick for future high-end gaming rigs.

Thermaltake View 600 TG Butter Caramel Review

The Thermaltake View 600 TG is their largest chassis offering with 45° beveled glass, managing to impress with a focus on a sturdy, functional core, wrapped in that unique exterior shape. Besides the unique color choices, the chassis also manages to offer several engineering highlights to make it stand out more as well.

be quiet! Dark Power 14 850 W ATX 3.1 Review

The Dark Power series returns with a generational leap. We analyse the new 850 W model to see if the Titanium badge holds up under load. Featuring a platform shared with the 1200 W flagship, dead-flat voltage regulation, and a practically silent fan, this might be the most over-engineered 850 W unit we've tested this year.

GEEKOM AX8 Max Review

The GEEKOM AX8 Max features AMD's Ryzen 7 8745HS with Radeon 780M integrated graphics to deliver solid everyday performance in a compact Mini-PC. It handles office work and multitasking easily, runs lighter games without much trouble, and offers plenty of modern connectivity. While the AX8 Max is in the upper mid-range price bracket, it stops short of the premium pricing attached to newer flagship AI Mini-PCs.

FSP NP5 Black Review

FSP's NP5-B is a classic case of not judging a book by its cover. This budget-friendly cooler sports an attractive design that combines sleek looks with quiet operation. Add to that some impressive performance and it easily outshines bulkier, heavier and more expensive competitors, making it stellar value for entry to mid-range systems.

NZXT N7 B850 Review

NZXT finally adds AMD's B850 chipset to its line-up with attractive white and black models, and while it arrives fairly late in the AM5 cycle, the $200 price tag and its unique approach might just be convincing enough to square up to some very stiff competition.

Endgame Gear OP1 8K V2 Review

Compared to the original Endgame Gear OP1 8K, the V2 introduces several improvements. The sensor has been upgraded to a custom variant of PixArt's latest PAW3950, and instead of a TTC "Silver" encoder, the V2 now uses one from Kailh. The weight is still 50 g, the Kailh GX main button switches still allow for incredibly low click latency, and 8000 Hz continues to be present.

Sharkoon OfficePal C50 Review - Could be a gem...

Looking for an ergonomic chair under €300? You might be interested in the Sharkoon OfficePal C50, which offers plenty of adjustability features, such as 5D armrests, though it still has some shortcomings. But is it worth considering?

AMD AI Bundle Review

AMD is finally making local AI easy. With the new AI Bundle, you can run image generation and LLMs directly on your PC, no cloud, no subscriptions, no data leaving your system. We could even run a massive 120B parameter model on a small laptop, something impossible on any consumer GPU.
