ASUS Maximus VI Hero Z87 Motherboard Review


 

Heroes come in many forms. They can be clad in black or draped in a red cape, protecting a city. They can be fighting for a just cause or they can be non-violent resistance leaders in thoughtful pause. They can be titans of industry advancing an economy or they can even be a working class hero raising a family. What is the same thread uniting all of these is tha […] Continue Reading

Deepcool Gamer Storm Lucifer CPU Heatsink Review


 

 

As efficient as modern processors have become, they are still not so efficient that they can run without any sort of heat sink. All that heat has to go somewhere so it just stands to reason that the larger the surface area provided, the better the cooling. Think of it like a highway with a great deal of traffic. If there are more open lanes and the streets are wider, then congestion is a […] Continue Reading


Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU Cooler Review


While most people’s darkest dreams stem from childhood trauma and unresolved anxieties, my recurring nightmare is peculiar because of who or what is involved.

EVGA GeForce GTX 750 SC 1GB Graphics Card Review


The EVGA GeForce GTX 750 is based on Nvidia’s First Generation “Mawell” architecture which packs quite a punch for having a TDP below 75W. Just a few weeks ago we were able to examine the GTX 750 Ti, which is the older sibling of the 750 series, the difference in this model is it comes with a slightly cut down GPU that features 512 CUDA cores instead of 620 and it o […] Continue Reading


Raijintek Pallas Low-Profile CPU Cooler Review


Despite the fact that newer processors require less power to operate, thermal concerns are still an issue to consider because a smaller area can have more current flowing at a given time compared to older and larger fabrication designs. This is especially true when overclocking the latest Intel Haswell processors which are more difficult to tame thermally compared to Inte […] Continue Reading
