A Phoenix arrises as we the review power supply from beastly grounds, the be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12. Initially releases in as 1200W and 1500W model we’ll check out the latter one. The series has been upgraded being all-digital, it has a few new tweaks, features and be quiet! was able to push the PSU towards 80 Plus Titanium certification. And yet, it remains silent I tell you.

The only other model which was able to exchange blows with the Ballistix MAX kit is the equally fast (slightly faster actually if we also take timings into account) Trident ROYAL kit by GSkill. Unfortunately, due to motherboard limitations the X299 system wouldn’t boot no matter what i did at frequencies over 4GHz so i had to use the Z390 system for overclocking, even though it ended going up to just 4200MHz (i was expecting a stable 4400MHz which didn’t happen, not with 1.4V and CL19)

ITX cases are nothing new, we’ve seen them for a good while now, but the really small and unique ITX cases are becoming extremely popular. These are typically sold as kits and are only available in small quantities. With these kits becoming increasingly popular major case manufactures are taking notice and releasing their own small ITX cases. We saw NZXT with their 13.6 L H1 and now we have Fractal Design with their Era ITX.

ADATA released a new NVMe SSD, it should be a value product based on the new Realtek RTS5762DL controller that moved its data over 4 channels. The product is tagged to reach 3 GBs reads and 1.5 GB/s writes at a price of roughly 130 USD for the 1TB model. We check out if the product is worth it.

Well Lexar is back with their new NM700, which offers faster speeds than the NM610 and they have slapped the “Professional” branding on it. This drive is based on the Marvell 88SS1092 8-channel controller with 3D TLC NAND. The 1TB version of the drive that we are taking a look at today offers sequential read and write speeds of 3500 MB/s and 2000 MB/s.

Razer’s Huntsman Elite sits as the company’s flagship gaming keyboard. This keyboard has been out for well over a year now and brings with it some pretty unique features. This full-size keyboard has an RGB-enabled detachable wrist rest, Razer’s newer Opto-Mechanical switches, on-board multimedia controls, a programmable wheel, and of course works with Razer’s Synapse software where you can reprogram the keyboard, create macros, adjust the RGB lighting and more.

Team Group has been in business since 1997. However, they’ve really been making a name for themselves lately with their T-Force Gaming line up. Team Group does all their own research and development in house. This helps to keep production costs down which helps the consumer in the end.

It’s clear from the charts that the Exceria M.2 NVMe 1TB SSD by KIOXIA performs significantly better than advertised (largely thanks to its Pseudo SLC cache) and by that, I mean up to roughly 3100MB/s in read and 1700MB/s in write (according always to ATTO – with AIDA64 not far behind). Yes, this performance may not last as long as it would with other higher-end models (as evident in our SNIA charts) but still these are very good numbers, for an entry-level M.2 NVMe drive that is (I’ll do my best to also get the Plus version here for a comparison).

The Proton is the latest affordable line of PSU’s by Chieftec (emphasis on the affordable) and so at least when it comes to rail stability things are very good. Not as good as the PowerPlay series but close and that’s very good for a model that should cost significantly less. Build quality is at surprisingly good levels and although the Taiwanese TEAPO is not as popular as some of its Japanese competitors I never had an issue with their capacitors (nor did i have with a High Power manufactured unit).

In the past half-year or so you’ll have seen a few PCIe Gen 4.0 related announcements. Of course, the dazzling numbers from SSDs at that speed do impress. Teamgroup released the Cardea Ceramic C440 at roughly 20 Cents per GB, and you can purchase it in a 1TB and 2TB model, the C440 units will be available at 199 USD for the 1TB version.
