Last week, I discussed Intel's new Kaby Lake processors and the disappointment that came from what we can probably call Intel's laziest effort yet. It was more disappointing to me than when Post decided to remove Marshmallow Alpha Bits from our cereal aisles. I was personally very excited for Intel finally releasing … Continue reading The Prize At The Bottom Of The Kaby Lake

A Whole New Galaxy
I'll be the first to admit I'm a bit of a cranky old man when it comes to phones: I find most apps useless or even highly intrusive with their logins (anyone who read my rant against NVIDIA for requiring a superfluous login to use their GeForce Experience software probably saw this one coming) … Continue reading A Whole New Galaxy
Drowning in a Kaby Lake of Disappointment
Another year, another mediocre performance increase from everyone's favourite processor manufacturer that has a blue logo and starts with the letter "I". Intel is effectively mimicking the big publishers of the AAA games industry by pumping out iterations of the same product to make the big bucks. Next thing you know, you'll … Continue reading Drowning in a Kaby Lake of Disappointment
The PS4 Pro – It’s For Professionals!
Ladies and gentlemen, after all the hype, anticipation, and online forums shouting in protest against changing how console cycles work, it has arrived: the PS4 Pro. Maybe you're looking for a last minute far too expensive Christmas gift, or perhaps eyeing a Boxing Day shopping spree with leftover holiday cash. Maybe you already know … Continue reading The PS4 Pro – It’s For Professionals!
AMD’s Ryzen & Vega
Behold, AMD's new flagship processor in it's true form: Ryzen! AMD held their New Horizon conference this afternoon featuring everyone's second favourite Geoff (behind our own Jeff of course) Mr. Keighley himself, and I have to say I'm excited. A lot of information was given about the new Zen chips awhile back, but this … Continue reading AMD’s Ryzen & Vega
Corsair’s Maglev Fans – Should You Be a Fan?
When Corsair, with much fanfare, announced their new magnetic levitation case fans, they had PC fan enthusiasts everywhere squealing like fangirls. ...Okay, I'll stop. I promise. The idea certainly intrigued me as I've always found maglev technology oddly interesting. I was curious to see what the tangible benefits would be. Corsair boasts an impressive range … Continue reading Corsair’s Maglev Fans – Should You Be a Fan?
The Legend of the Console Killer
If you’ve even browsed PC gaming tech in the last few years, you’ve probably heard of the legend of the “console killer” – a self-built PC that can compete with or even exceed the current generation of gaming consoles for a similar price. Indeed, in many a gaming thread on Internet forums can devolve … Continue reading The Legend of the Console Killer
GeForce (Bad) Experience
My friends, it’s time for a good old fashioned rant. I admit, I’m one who is frustrated by modern apps like an old man frustrated with kids on his lawn, so take my point of a view with a grain of salt. GeForce Experience was something that I was reluctant to use but, until recently, … Continue reading GeForce (Bad) Experience
My RX480’s are here. Time to give ’em a go!
I have been waiting a couple months for my RX480’s of which I have wrote about already on this site. I ended up with some regular ASUS branded reference 8GB RX480 cards instead of the mildly overclocked and backplated XFX ones but that’s not what we are here to talk about. Stock on these cards … Continue reading My RX480’s are here. Time to give ’em a go!
Solid State Drives: Are They Finally Worth it?
A couple of years ago when I set about to build my second to latest build, CapSupreme, I wrestled with the idea of using a solid state drive as my main boot drive and a regular 3.5 inch hard disk drive for my data drive. I considered this for quite some time with myself and … Continue reading Solid State Drives: Are They Finally Worth it?
