XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy Video Card

Legit Reviews have been taking a look at the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy Video Card, and here's a snippet:

The new Radeon RX 590 has a suggest retail price of $279 and is about 12% faster than the Radeon RX 580. AMD will not be offering a Radeon RX 590 reference design, so each add-in-board company will have their own custom board design to sell. AMD believes that the performance of the RX 590 will appeal to 1080p gamers and that is it priced right. Those in the United States might have to worry about tariffs though in the months ahead and AMD was unable to speculate about how future tariffs may or may not impact pricing. The goal for AMD is to have the Radeon RX 590 on store shelves at $279.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition

Vortez have reviewed the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU cooler, and here's a snippet:

Cooler Master’s name echoes around PC circles whenever an inexpensive CPU cooler is required but don’t confuse that with a lack of ability or high noise levels. Cooler Master have mastered the cheap and powerful cooler with the Hyper 212 and today we look at the latest iteration in, what can only be described as, an incredibly successful line up.

Today we unwrap the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition, finished with a nickel plating for the black appearance, while also enhancing radiation of heat from the fins. The top of the cooler features a new look with a brushed, anodised aluminium finished in gunmetal black. Cooler Master also claim to have improved the installation procedure.

Viper RGB DDR4 RAM

Pure Overclock have reviewed the Viper RGB DDR4 RAM, and here's a snippet:

Highest speeds in DDR4 RAM does little to impact overall system performance. There are so many kits that perform great, that it can be really hard to make a solid recommendation. My advise is to look for the kit that looks the best to you. Today, we’re going to check out what has looked like an amazing design to me. If the Viper RGB doesn’t attract you immediately, just stare at the glowing eyes for a while!

The Best Entry Level Gaming CPU: Athlon 200GE vs Pentium G5400 vs Ryzen 3 2200G

Tech Spot have been looking at three entry-level gaming CPUs to see which one is the best. Here's a snippet:

Not that long ago we reviewed the $60 Athlon 200GE CPU and we've been wanting to come back to it for more, but it's been a hectic October with must-have coverage that included the RTX 2070, the Core i9-9900K and new Threadripper models. But it's finally time, so we've dug out the plucky little Zen based chip and for comparison grabbed the Ryzen 3 2200G and Intel’s Pentium G5400.

We did not include the Core i3-8100 for two reasons: First, at the current $130 asking price it doesn’t make sense as the Ryzen 3 2200G which was already our preferred choice is better value at $100. Intel’s current budget lineup just isn’t doing it for us and this was the case even before the 14nm shortage.

AORUS XTREME RTX 2080 Graphics Card

eTeknix have been testing out the AORUS XTREME RTX 2080 Graphics Card - here's a snippet from their review:

The RTX launch has been an exciting one for me. Obviously, it’s great as I get many new GPUs to play around with. However, I also love seeing the performance battle between brands and I’m always eager to see which comes out on top; no doubt the brands and our readers are too. The new Aorus Xtreme looks set to tackle the high-performance crown for the RTX 2080 range. It comes equipped with a big factory overclock, a big cooler, the swankiest RGB lighting around, and plenty more features beyond that. Obviously, it’s not going to topple the faster Ti series cards, but how does it stack up against its 2080 rivals?

AMD Athlon 200GE 3.2 GHz

Tech Power Up have been testing out the AMD Athlon 200GE 3.2 GHz processor, and here's a snippet:

Today, we have with us the most affordable piece of hardware that combines two big buzzwords in client computing: "Zen" and "Vega." Priced cheaper than a copy of the year's "Call of Duty," the new Athlon 200GE is targeted at entry-level desktop builds and overcomes a major product differentiation failure of its predecessors over the past couple of generations - the lack of integrated graphics.

MSI Optix MPG27C

Hardware Heaven has reviewed the MSI Optix MPG27C gaming monitor, and here's a snippet:

£360 or $366 is a high price to pay for a 1080p gaming monitor, but the MSI Optix MPG27C tries to justify its cost with loads of features. The MPG27C serves up a superb refresh rate, a fast response time, smart software and even RGB LEDs. Can MSI’s gaming monitor deliver enough performance to make that price worthwhile? Read our MSI Optix MPG27C review to find out.

PC Specialist Nucleus AMD Threadripper 2990WX Workstation

Kit Guru have reviewed the PC Specialist Nucleus AMD Threadripper 2990WX Workstation, and here's a snippet:

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX blew our minds when we first reviewed it a couple of months ago. It’s an absolutely stunning basis for a high-end workstation, with nothing from Intel to compete with its 32-core grunt just yet. This time around, we are taking a look at the same processor in a workstation from PC Specialist. Called the Nucleus, it’s so named because of the latter’s creative role in generating everything we do with a PC (apparently).

Jabra Elite Active 65t True Wireless Earbuds

Nikk Tech have reviewed the Jabra Elite Active 65t True Wireless Earbuds, and here's a snippet:

Working out while listening to music has always been a serious issue for many people (myself included) especially for those who also like to run large distances and although stability may be the most crucial factor audio quality and resistance to sweat are two things many have been looking for. I realize that many people don't think that sweat is sufficient to render any headset inoperable (must have had that discussion with friends over a dozen times) but over the years I’ve had several models fail because of that (including some far from what anyone would call affordable) so my experience says otherwise. Unfortunately there aren't that many sweat/water resistant wireless headsets out in the market that also feature good audio quality and stability so the Elite Sport by Jabra have been the best solution to date for me ever since i first got my hands on them in August of last year. This may however change since today's review is about the latest Elite Active 65t True Wireless Earbuds again by Jabra.
