The release of the new PCI-SIG ATX 3.1 guidelines and the introduction of the safer 12V-2x6 power connector design have prompted PSU makers to update their recent products with newer versions. Since the new standard is compatible with existing designs, it takes little effort for manufacturers to provide a safer and more robust platform that ensures stable power delivery to your PCs all the while tackling issues such as high power variances, spikes, and most importantly, safeguard from some of the troubles that were encountered with previous 16-pin connector designs. Keeping the trends in mind, Enermax has updated its PSU […]

The Mini PC market is being flooded with new solutions every month and while everyone wants the latest specs, sourcing out those chips is becoming hard for manufacturers of these Mini PCs so the companies are now leveraging the available hardware and offering unique products to consumers. We have seen with the AMD Ryzen APUs where the supply of the newer 7000/8000 APUs is so low that Mini PC makers still reuse the older Ryzen 5000/6000 APUs. Geekom has decided to select the Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake option for its more multi-threaded & performance-oriented offerings with the likes of […]

Earlier this year, we got our first taste of the latest PCIe Gen5 NVMe SSDs, offering up to 10,000 MB/s read and write capabilities. These drives were first but we knew that faster drives would be entering the market sooner or later as the technology matured. Furthermore, Gen5 platforms are more accessible to a wider range of audiences with the introduction of mainstream AMD & Intel motherboards. While offering 10 GB/s speeds as a start, SSD manufacturers have quickly started rolling out faster drives by optimizing thermal designs and utilizing enhanced NAND solutions. MSI started off its 5.0 journey in […]

Last year, Intel introduced its Raptor Lake CPU family as a part of a refresh under the 14th Gen branding. The lineup mostly retains the same core configurations besides one SKU while being mostly a clock lift update which is reminiscent of what Intel has done in the past. A +200 MHz clock speed is about as much as you would expect from the lineup. The company hoped that this would be enough to tackle the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, especially the newer X3D parts which are gaining a lot of recommendations within the gaming segment due to their impressive […]
