OCAholic Review Noctua NH-D15S CPU Cooler

"With the NH-D15S, Noctua has definitely created a powerful CPU cooler, which features good looks and high quality finish. The overall build quality is definitely good and on the expected high level, and for example the nickel plated finish leaves an excellent impression. Apart from that, it brings impressive cooling performance that has been combined with a decent fan, which, when set to run at 7 Volt, is inaudible. Furthermore it also supports all recent sockets."

OCAholic Review ASUS MAXIMUS VIII EXTREME/ASSEMBLY Motherboard

"Without a doubt, the ASUS Maximus VIII Extreme Assembly is a true high-end motherboard. If you're planning on overclocking your Skylake CPU, no matter whether it's extreme overclocking or aircooled OC, this is an ideal platform."

SilverStone ML08 SFF Chassis On Modders Inc

"The ML08B-H (black with handle version) is a solid choice to consider when thinking of your next SFF-style LAN rig or HTPC. Personally, I find that the handle included (which has a much more military style look to it), clashes with the aesthetic of the case which has a sleek minimalist profile. Overall, considering the affordability, the rigidity and features available on the ML08 make it stand out from other ITX cases I have seen in the past. With this said the ML08 ITX case from Silverstone gets Modders Inc’s “Must Have” award."

SteelSeries Siberia 650 Review On NikkTech

"Over the years we've noticed that SteelSeries does a great job in equipping their top-end headset models with the highest quality components and all the latest technologies so because of that we didn't expect anything less from the Siberia 650. As a matter of fact after testing the Siberia 650 with several games, blue-ray movies and games I’m quite positive that it’s identical to the excellent Prism (so SteelSeries effectively renamed the Siberia Elite Prism to Siberia 650 to match their new lineup). As mentioned earlier this is not a bad thing since just like the Prism the Siberia 650 it features excellent mids and highs with very rich and warm bass levels."

Tweaktown Keen On ASUS Z170-PRO Motherboard

"Overall, the Z170-Pro feels like a high-end product, and specifications and hardware aren't the only things which make that true. Overclocking on the Z170-Pro was also much better than one might expect, especially when dealing with memory."

Got RGB? Get ASUS Maximus VIII Formula Motherboard! Tweaktown

"ASUS's Maximus VIII Formula is perhaps one of the most versatile motherboards when it comes to modding. ASUS's design team hit the nail right on the head when it comes to delivering customizability to consumers. Users want to choose their motherboard color theme, and by using RGBs behind translucent plastic, ASUS has provided just that. The addition of the RGB LED header is a great extra that modders will appreciate since they can now sync up case and motherboard RGBs."

Gadgets360 Impressed With Creative Sound Blaster Jam Headset

"One area where the Sound Blaster Jam leaves the competition in the dust is battery life. Creative claims that these headphones can last for 12 hours on a single charge but we actually got more than that. On a single charge, the Sound Blaster Jam lasted through around 14 hours of music playback before it died. This is really good."

TweakTown: Far Cry Primal PC Performance Analysis With Various GPUs

"It's really refreshing to see a game that's mostly optimized. And by that, I mean that we're seeing great performance on a level that we expect for both brands. AMD and NVIDIA are strong performers here, with NVIDIA taking a slight lead all the way until we get to 4K. And even then, performance is solid and very encouraging. Dunia 2 might be resource heavy when you adjust everything to the max, but even a small decrease in preset results in a still good looking game."
