If you've purchased yourself an AMD X570 or B550 motherboard along with an accompanying Ryzen 3000 CPU, it'd be a shame not to use its PCI-Express 4.0 storage capabilities. There aren't all that many options available yet, but now, Silicon Power is joining the fray with its new US70 M.2 SSD.

PCIe 4 NVMe SSDs boast truly absurd speeds. Whereas PCIe 3.0

Gearbox released a trailer for its upcoming Godfall game yesterday, and it has a little easter egg in it. As spotted by a Twitter user (via Overclock3D ), the video includes a renovated design for the Radeon branding, but it isn't clear if the refreshed branding comes from AMD or is the result of a mistake from the Gearbox team. There's a possibility that Gearbox made the logo, but it's rational to assume

Biostar Z490GTA EVO Reviews: Good Layout, But No Overclocking

Our Verdict

The Biostar Z490GTA EVO is a decent board overall, offering updates from the Z390 version to support 10th Generation Intel processors. During short tests, the board performed just as well as the comparison boards. But in longer tests, it was slower. It’s $10 cheaper than the ASRock Z490 PG Velocita, but without an update to enable overclocking, it’s worth spending a little more on something else.
