Team Group T-Force Z540 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen5 SSD Review (with DARK AirFlow I M.2 Heatsink)

September 12, 2024 Bartosz Waluk 0

Team Group was among the first brands to present the NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSDs. However, we had to wait some months to see them in stores. Today, we focus on the T-Force Z540, now available with new firmware and improvements that promise exceptional performance.
As with all T-Force products, the Z540 is also designed for the most demanding gamers and power users. Since the SSD is sold without a cooler, it’s recommended to use a motherboard cooler or some other type, like the one provided by Team Group—DARK AirFlow I. Our tests will include this cooler as a recommended option to keep optimal temperatures and performance of our new Z540 NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSD.

G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal 64GB DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory Kit Review

August 27, 2024 Bartosz Waluk 5

G.Skill is back with the Royal series RAM that in the last generations made the most noise amongst gamers and enthusiasts due to its unique and elite design. G.Skill made us wait for its top series for a long time as DDR5 is already available for nearly three chipset generations. DDR5 modules get improved Royal heatsinks with fantastic RGB illumination, but for most users, the most important is underneath them. As you expect, the Royal series is built on premium ICs, but I won’t tell you everything in the introduction, and you have to read our review to find out more.

Late in the Z790 life cycle, we’re still seeing new boards come out for the platform. Case in point, Colorful announced their CVN Z790D5 Ark Frozen motherboard. The new SKU sports titanium gray on the heatsinks and PCB, a change from the black and white we’re used to. Additionally, you get well-rounded specifications and robust power delivery to handle any 12th-14th generation processor, even when overclocking.

May 31, 2024 Bartosz Waluk 17

We didn’t have to wait long for the updated version of the already exceptional Corsair MP700 Pro SSD. The SE version brings us multiple improvements, which we will present in this review.
Corsair provided us with the 4TB version of the MP700 Pro SE SSD, which has the highest capacity so far and is also the fastest Corsair SSD available in stores. In the upcoming weeks, we will see lower capacities and various cooling options for the MP700 Pro SE.

Gigabyte Radeon RX 7900 GRE Gaming OC 16G Graphics Card Review

April 25, 2024 Bartosz Waluk 0

Radeon RX 7900 GRE wasn’t planned for a global release; it was a product designed for the Chinese market. However, it became so interesting that AMD decided to make it available around the world, and we didn’t have to wait long for leading partners to present their versions. In this review, we will focus on the RX 7900 GRE from Gigabyte, which uses a custom PCB and power design. The card is also overclocked, so it promises better than standard performance.

MSI RTX 4070 Super Gaming X Slim MLG Review: Skinny Version Packs a Punch!

March 13, 2024 Joe Shields 1

Today, on our test bench, we have another ‘Super’ card, but this time, it’s the MSI RTX 4070 Super Gaming X Slim MLG. What a mouthful! Outside of the obvious that it’s a 4070 Super and slim compared to the 3-slot plus monsters we’re used to seeing, the MLG version (where their Dragon, Lucky, turns into the Dragon Princess) sports red highlights, and it includes a magnetic backplate with a picture of their anime-style princess.
