Comparing how we control fans and lighting, and read temperatures using 3.5″ or even 5.25″ bay-mounted units with knobs and dials, could be compared to a caveman discovering fire. It’s a big deal, but there’s loads of room for advancement. Corsair is trying to move these Neanderthals (and the rest of us) into…..

At this point, it’s hard to believe that EVGA was once known only for its graphics cards. Today, the company also produces motherboards, power supplies, cases, and even some accessories. Oh – and peripherals, such as the TORQ X10 gaming mouse, which we’ve given a good test over the past month. Read…..

Steve Saleen is a name familiar to most auto enthusiasts. He made his name through the 1980s-90s modifying Ford Mustangs for higher performance and more aggressive aesthetics. At the turn of the 21st Century, Saleen started manufacturing his own supercar, the S7. The S7 was good enough to compete internationally, even setting…..

This is one of those stories where the title could be the story, so bear with me as I try to reach my self-imposed word quota. Beginning this week, if you purchase a GeForce GTX 770 or higher graphics card from a participating vendor, you’ll receive a code to unlock Borderlands: Pre-Sequel…..

SPEC’s benchmarks have long been a stature in our performance reviews, with the SPECapc series in particular being a favorite due to their ease-of-use. The organization’s latest benchmark, SPECapc 3ds Max 2015, couldn’t have landed at a better time: We recently upgraded to the latest 3ds Max version ourselves, and Intel’s Haswell-E…..

As NVIDIA’s last Quadro rollout took place over two-years-ago, we’ve been a little overdue on some new models. Well, those new models are here, and aside from the top-of-the-line K6000, the entire lineup is covered. The Quadro K5200, seen below, might look almost identical to the model it replaces, the K5000, but…..

After decades of battling with polarized, multi-dimensional USB connectors that never fit the first or second time, the USB Promoter Group has finalized the new Type-C connector to end our frustration.

When Intel’s X99 enthusiast platform hits the market next month, it’s not only going to bring with it the company’s first 8-core desktop processor; it’s also going to kick-off the DDR4 generation for us non-enterprise folk. DDR4’s most-touted feature is that it can match and exceed DDR3 frequencies while drawing less power…..

When I first got a glimpse of NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology at a press event last fall, I was impressed from the get-go. So impressed, in fact, that it felt like it’d take no time at all to see the market become littered with displays equipped with the technology. As I look back at…..

You’re free to disagree, but I’ve felt that Valve’s Steam client has been in bad need of an aesthetic overhaul for quite a while. It’s not that the client looks bad, because it doesn’t. There was just something in me that yearned for a fresh face. Well, after upgrading to the latest beta…..

After its collapse and eventual bankruptcy, Ascaron’s swan song, Sacred 2, was bitter-sweet. Plagued with bugs at launch, it was quickly polished and became one of the few decent open-world hack’n’slash adventures. Deep Silver then picked up the series, and has released two Sacred titles to date, including this latest adventure: Sacred…..

AMD’s FM2+ platform might not be considered the “go to” for enthusiasts, but that doesn’t mean that there can’t still exist a motherboard that’s packed to the gills with features – or a pure gaming option, for that matter. This is something ASUS seems to grasp, as it’s just announced its first…..

When Apple announced its plans to kill off its Aperture photo-editing tool in late June, I can only imagine the sorts of celebrations that were going on inside of Adobe HQ. I don’t think Adobe’s Lightroom was a direct cause of Aperture’s pending death; rather, I think it’s more the fact that…..

We don’t talk about mobile workstations too often around here, or workstations in general for that matter (I’m hoping that’ll change in the near-future), but MSI’s latest notebook series is well-worth talking about. Called WS60, MSI has sought out to make the thinnest, lightest mobile workstations going, and looking the specs that…..

Just because a PC is being built for gaming, it doesn’t mean that it has to be enormous. With MSI’s Z97I Gaming AC, the ability to build a super-small gaming rig is granted, thanks to its mini-ITX form-factor. Some perks include Killer Ethernet networking, a full assortment of audio enhancements, and a…..

The reasons for its scans have nothing to do with being nosy, and everything to do with displaying relevant advertisements. As advertisements help fund the service,…..

Throughout its history, football (not soccer) has seen much evolution and innovation on the field. From strictly a ground-based attack (a legacy of the game’s rugby roots) to the latest spread offenses with the QB slinging that ball all over the field, football has rarely stood still. It’s true on the defensive…..

Gaming gear of all types often incur a price premium. In some cases, the price hike compared to a non-gaming equivalent is enough to dissuade gamers with budgetary limits. GAMDIAS, a brand-new entrant into the red-hot gaming peripherals market, wants to challenge the notion that high quality means high cost for the…..
