Asus X99 Deluxe @ LanOC Reviews
You might know the saying “for every butt there is a seat” well I get the feeling DXRacer recognizes this with their wide selection of seating options. I have taken a look at a few of their chairs in the past and after visiting their US office I can say for sure that they have a wide selection of seats. They have seven different chair series as wel... [PCSTATS]

Intel i7-5960X Haswell-E @ LanOC Reviews
We can’t very well look at the i7-5960X from Intel and not do a motherboard along with it right? As the first of what expect to me a list of X99 motherboards I will be covering, I wanted to put the Asus to use first simply because they are always reliable and the software is perfect for keeping an eye on things when benchmarking the CPU. After I w... [PCSTATS]

Thermaltake Urban T81
"To conclude, Fractal Design has made another chassis that holds its own in many ways. Even with a few set backs, I would recommend this chassis to anyone who is looking to get a few features that may be only available in a high tier / price range. For the rest, who aren't completely sold on the Core series, Fractal Design does offer the XL I revie... [PCSTATS]

NZXT S340
"The Urban T81 has a ton of great features and reasons that this chassis is worth every penny. I don't have time to write out each in detail or this would go on forever, so I'm just going to cover the things that make it stand out. First up, having support for nearly every aftermarket CPU cooler is a major advantage. I have time and time again give... [PCSTATS]

SilverStone Strider Gold 1500W Power Supply Review
"The NZXT S340 is the best budget case to come along in years. It's a true bang-for-the-buck product that has features you'd expect from much more expensive cases. It looks outstanding, has plenty of room to work, excellent cable management, space for 120-280mm radiators, awesome cooling potential and so much more. " ~3dGameMan.com

Fractal Design Define R5 Review
SilverStone is a well known name among computer hardware enthusiasts. It has a good record of building solid PSUs, some of those good, some of those great. Today it comes to us with 1500 watts of power in an extremely small footprint, sporting 100% fully modular cables, and claiming extremely good efficiency.

WD My Cloud 3 TB Network HDD Review
Almost exactly four years ago the Swedish company Fractal Design presented with the Define R3 their first midi tower. Now they launched the Define R5 which should be the next step in evolution of their Define series cases.

ASRock X99 Extreme11
Since launching its first mechanical gaming keyboard, Cougar has continued releasing PC gaming devices ranging from the ultra affordable to the relatively expensive. On the upper end of things, Cougar's flagship 700K fetches $150, but for folks who can't quite justify the price Cougar has developed the 600K we have in house for review. Along for th... [PCSTATS]

NVIDIA Multi-Frame Sampled AA Video Card Review
But today we are looking at the new Acer XB270H, a 1920x1080 27-in monitor with G-Sync support and a 144 Hz refresh rate; a unique combination. In fact, there is no other 27-in 144 Hz 1080p monitor on the market that we are aware of after a quick search of Newegg.com and Amazon.com. But does this monitor offer the same kind of experience as the ASU... [PCSTATS]

NVIDIA's Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA) technology is available in the latest GeForce driver release. We look at performance and image quality on the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 and see if this is something gamers can benefit from. Only a handful of games support it right now, if yours is on the list, give it a spin.

Gainward GTX 980 & GTX 970 Phantom
So in terms of power consumption the GeForce GTX 980 is unbeatable right now but only slightly better than its predecessor. The question is, how many gamers want to pay a price premium to save up to 25% power when gaming compared to the Radeon R9 290X? We suspect not many. Still, the power savings have other advantages such as cooler running GPUs w... [PCSTATS]

Patriot Blaze 240GB SSD Review
Overall the Gainward GTX 970 Phantom is the card that has impressed us the most. Gainward has opted for a shorter PCB making the GTX 970 more compact than most despite the triple slot design. Those running mATX systems will find the GTX 970 Phantom the ideal graphics card for extracting the most performance out of their gaming rig.

Mio Spirit 6970 LM Truck GPS Navigation System Review
"When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system.

To do so, the opera... [PCSTATS]

SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco 960GB Enterprise SSD Review
One of the very first things i got when i learned how to drive in the late 90's was a very detailed map (more like a book/guide) of Greece which i could use to navigate to places i had never been in the past. Of course although back then it's not really like drivers had many options that all changed when the first GPS navigation systems arrived soo... [PCSTATS]

Crucial's DDR4-2133 32GB memory kit
Quote: "All of this goodness gets contained inside a Corsair Carbide Air 240, one of our favorite small form factor cases. Because of the dual-chamber design you get a shorter case than even your normal mATX cases, though you do gain a bit of width (don't we all...). The result is an incredibly clean, compact and, in our case, white system that onl... [PCSTATS]

Gigabyte Z97-D3H Motherboard Review

nVidia Geforce GTX 960 Maxwell

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Review With EVGA And ASUS
Last month, I moved three videos and a bunch of photos from my Apple iPhone 6 to my computer, only to find out later that two of the videos and one of the photos were corrupted. On closer inspection, they appear to be truncated - copied only partially.


Unfortunately, because I moved them, instead of copying them, they were lost forever. I trie... [PCSTATS]

NVIDIA, MSI, EVGA GTX 960

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960: A Great $200 GPU
"Without good gaming performance it's all a moot point, and that being said the GTX 960 does deliver good, competitive performance when you make the direct comparison to AMD's card that occupies that price/performance spot: the R9 285. If the performance level isn't high enough, then there is always overclocking to ratchet up the performance. When ... [PCSTATS]

ASUS GTX 960 STRIX DirectCU II Review
If no one had to worry about money we would all be running crazy high end PCs with 3 or 4 GTX 980’s or R9 290X’s. The reality is that most people can’t afford to do that and even when they can it’s hard to justify spending that much money on just one part of their PC. The fact is even just one of those cards can cost more than a budget PC and 4 of ... [PCSTATS]
