Game Max Spectrum RGB Tempered Glass Chassis

eTeknix have reviewed the Game Max Spectrum RGB Tempered Glass Chassis, and here's a snippet:

On paper, the Spectrum is on the right track. It features a good amount of clearance for both large GPUs and CPU coolers. There’s a decent amount of fan spaces and some radiator support too. That’s the first hurdle crossed. Bonus features include four sides of the tempered glass, three RGB fans, a fan hub with fan control and RGB control, and more. So yes, the price is higher, but you’re getting a lot of bonus stuff right off the bat.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X

Tech Power Up have been testing out the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, and here's a snippet from their review:

AMD today launched its 2nd generation Ryzen Threadripper 2000 family of high-end desktop (HEDT) processors. When AMD realized in 2017 that it had a truly competitive CPU architecture on its hands with "Zen," it scampered to create client-segment variants of its enterprise EPYC multi-chip modules: the Ryzen Threadripper product family. A possible motivation for that could have been that even if AMD established a product leadership in the mainstream-desktop segment, Intel could get away with having the overall fastest client-segment processors thanks to its Core X HEDT family, which could influence sales of cheaper processors.

Samsung MicroSD Pro Endurance 128GB Card

Pure Overclock have reviewed the Samsung MicroSD Pro Endurance 128GB Card, and here's a snippet:

Samsung has always had a good reputation for reliability. Since the Pro Endurance is leaning heavily on longevity, it’s a good thing that it has a strong name behind it. However, this microSD card isn’t going to take the crown in the speed competition. The real question we want to answer is how well this card holds up to its specs, and how well it costs in comparison to the market.

Samsung 970 Pro

Hardware Heaven have reviewed the Samsung 970 Pro SSD and here's a snippet:

The Samsung 970 Pro is the latest SSD from the modern kings of solid-state storage. There aren’t any bigger names in this part of the market than the Korean giant, and its latest drive refresh clearly aims to cement Samsung’s position at the top of the market. However, there’s a lot of strong competition – including from Samsung itself – and the 970 Pro is an expensive product. Can this latest drive justify its cost of £189 in the UK and $230 in the US? Our Samsung 970 Pro review will find out.

SilverStone Nightjar NJ450-SXL PSU

Kit Guru have reviewed the SilverStone Nightjar NJ450-SXL power supply unit, and here's a snippet:

SilverStone was the first to release a passive SFX-L unit based on a platform provided by Enhance Electronics. The NJ450-SXL is fully modular, highly efficient and its overall performance is very good. It is built like a tank since it is surrounded by heatsinks and the only downside is the stiff price tag, which is partly due to the innovative design.

Surface Go Review

Engadget have reviewed Microsoft's latest addition to the Surface range; the Surface Go. Here's a snippet:

The Surface Go is Microsoft's smallest and cheapest tablet yet, with specs that would make hardware nerds laugh. But in many ways, it brings Microsoft closer to its original dream for the Surface line: It's almost as light as an iPad, but it can also run most of the Windows apps you need. While the Surface Go certainly won't replace more powerful laptops, it's an intriguing option as a secondary device, especially at a low starting price of $399 (without a keyboard). Just be aware of its limitations.

Cooler Master CM310

Vortez have reviewed the Cooler Master CM310 gaming mouse, and here's a snippet:

The first notable element is a Pixart A3328 optical sensor, albeit a lower end setup it still offers a DPI range from 500 to 10,000 as well as all the performance benefits of it being optical. It also features some good illumination for the RGB enthusiasts out there as well as including rubberised side grips and a nicely weighted body. One thing that is missing is the software, this could be a blessing in disguise for some as it’s one less on your PC, but for those that appreciate software, it could be a potential turn off. To combat this though, Cooler Master have included two DPI buttons and also one to toggle the illumination effects.
