Fractal Design Core 3300
Seagate's Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD shows us what it takes to bring 3.5" form factor hard drives to enterprise class levels of performance and stability, and that's before looking at its beefy 6TB of storage capacity. While it may not attract the SSD crowd, it aims to deliver value for data center, cloud storage and other hyperscale computing app... [PCSTATS]

The NZXT Sentry 3
"Designed as a low cost solution, the Core 3300 comes with a lot of advantages: a wide body design to allow for great cable management, multiple radiator support, room to install up to seven 140mm case fans (two are included), a vertical hard drive mounting system that supports 2.5/3.5” drives, a front panel textured finish, and much more."

Scorpio case
When your motherboard runs out of headers for all those cool case fans you still need to install, you might want to consider a fan controller. The NZXT Sentry 3 features a 5.4-inch color touchscreen, the largest yet for any single bay fan controller, that allows you to control up to five fan channels each supplying a maximum 15W of power. There... [PCSTATS]

ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q GSYNC game monitor
Raidmax refreshes its long running Scorpio case series with the Scorpio V, an $80 mid-tower case that features a built-in fan controller, room for a radiator with two 240mm fans, and even integrated blue LED case lighting. We see how well it holds up (and our components) in our review.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX Titan Black WindForce review
We review the all new ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q monitor. ASUS outs their second GSYNC compatible monitor, this round they do it with a nice 27-inch WQHD (2560x1440) TN display that can handle a 144 Hz refresh rate and has 1ms response time.

Gigabyte X99-UD4 Review
We review the Gigabyte GeForce GTX Titan Black with custom WindForce cooling. This factory overclocked product runs silent and is cooled down a notch or two better opposed to Nvidia's reference cooling. The end result, a fantastic looking, performing and nearly in-audible graphics card.

EVGA X99 Classified Review
With the X99-UD4, Gigabyte already has an X99 motherboard ready for launch day and this particular model comes with a reasonable feature mix and very attractive price. It doesn't take long until you see that Gigabyte did not overexaggerate equipping this board with additional chips, which is something that's reflected in the price. Maybe Gigabyte i... [PCSTATS]

Risen 2: Dark Waters 2-Years Later
The X99 Classified is the high-end X99 motherboard from EVGA and therefore it comes with a good looking design as well as a lot of features. Apart from that the X99 is EVGA's overclocking motherboard so you can combine it with EVBot and there are quite a few other interesting options.

SanDisk Extreme PRO 480GB SSD
"Now, I am not going to say Risen 2 is a bad game, because it is not quite to that level. It definitely has some bad elements, but just enough good to keep from tipping over. It is a game I fail to recommend with a leaning to recommend against. If you have it you can check it out, but do not be surprised if after an hour or two you decide to uninst... [PCSTATS]

Diamond UGA USB 3.0/2.0 to DVI/HDMI/VGA Adapter
"One could argue that any SSD will seem like a big step up in performance over a HDD, and I cannot disagree with that fact. There are, however, a few more features that bring the Extreme PRO upwards in the rankings, despite its semi-premium price compared to bottom-barrel value SSDs. First, and probably most importantly, the entire Extreme PRO line... [PCSTATS]

XFX XTS 520w Power Supply Review
”Ultimately, I like the concept. It was nice not having to dig through my bag of cables for the right one to use and it was pretty simple to set up and use. However, with the fad of smaller tablet/PC devices and the ever popular BayTrail and Tegra processors, it becomes difficult to use such a device. The CPU isn't enough to power the conversion to...

"Cybersecurity companies are outlining additional details about the sophisticated Regin spyware malware, but no one has a complete picture just yet. End users don't need to be overly concerned about Regin, as it's not malware designed to snoop on them - and essentially is impossible to detect and prevent.

Chieftec GPS-700A8 Review
"Up for review today I have a set of headphones from Arctic called the P402 which are what you might call a budget set of headphones as they are priced at about $15 on Amazon right now.

With the GPS-700A8 Chieftec has an entry level power supply in its portfolio which offers 700 Watt output power. This unit comes with an 80Plus certificate at a low price point.
