SilverStone and RGB are a bit of a rare mix. The new Air Blazer and LS04 products bring this occasional pairing to the impeccable quality that I’ve come to know from the company. With the Air Blazer Lite 120i, we get quality fans with their own lighting controller. On the LS04 side, the light strips have the continuous lighting feature that smooths out the color changing effects. While these designs may not be revolutionary, SilverStone always keeps a trick or two up their sleeves that can surprise us anyways.

I stumbled on Sabrent a while ago when I saw an awesome deal . The Rocket Q looks like a new addition to what appears to be a stellar lineup. With the first Rocket, Sabrent used the PCI 3.0 interface to get some great speeds with their NVMe drives. Later, the company was able to update that to the PCI 4.0 interface. Now the Rocket Q has higher capacities and lower power consumption. We’ll check out that performance, right after this word from the company. Continue reading “Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe SSD Review”
Cases are in the midst of a major transition. Not only does the Fara B1 exemplify one of the major debates going on currently, but the case market has become more competitive than ever before. SilverStone has huge challenges ahead of them, but spoiler alert: I believe they are up to it! Let’s get into this mid tower review, right after this statement from the company. Continue reading “SilverStone Fara B1 Mid Tower Case Review”
Encryption is vital to data security . The Aegis Fortress L3 has that on a hardware level, which is a great start. However, physical encryption can have a slightly negative downside with slower read and write speeds. A traditional spinning HDD could take a real long time transferring files into encrypted storage . The solution is an SSD. Apricorn might have just the ticket for security and speed with their encrypted drives. Continue reading “Apricorn Aegis Fortress L3 Encrypted External SSD Review”
The Bio Elite30 intends to change how we look at data security and convenience. As we all know, personal information is at risk every day. There’s been far too many data breaches to even keep count anymore. Ideally, you would cut your chords and never allow any sensitive information out on the internet. However, it would be pretty hard to live like that nowadays. Continue reading “Kanguru Defender Bio Elite30 Finger Encrypted USB Drive Review”
Noctua is known for two things, silence and less than favorable colors. The NH-U12S is already a silent killer… for heat I mean. With the Chromax Black version, we now have a very favorable design that will fit great in just about any build. But how silent does this cooler really get? Should you replace your stock cooler? Is black really worth paying extra for? We’ll answer all these questions and more, right after this word from the company. Continue reading “Noctua NH-U12S Chromax Black CPU Cooler Review”
The NH- D15 has long reigned supreme as the greatest of air coolers. If only Noctua could do something about that beige and brown color! Whether it was prayers or sacrifices, the impossible happened and we have a host of all black air towers from one of the greatest cooling companies in existence. Chromax Black is the name of the new lineup we’ve long dreamed of. Continue reading “Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black CPU Cooler Review”
The Pure Base 500 is both budget-friendly and has strikingly good looks if you are into the brushed aluminum aesthetic. Contending in the more budget-friendly arena is a tough ask for any vendor that still wants to push out a high-quality product, irrespective of which component it is. In today’s battle, we will be looking at be quiet!’s Pure Base 500 which comes in multiple flavors. Bringing two high-end fans with it, should this one be on your budget-friendly list? Read on to see what we think of it…

What if I told you that absolute cooling performance doesn’t matter that much? A CLC like the PF360 might make a ton of sense, but you’ll need to take the red pill first. SilverStone is focusing on two aspects with this cooler. While cooling is still a priority, performance is also being balanced with value. On top of that, aesthetics and functionality are also high priorities. Let’s dive in and find how well the company does at bringing a new option to the crowded CPU cooler market. Continue reading “SilverStone PF360 Liquid CPU Cooler Review”
The plethora of options in the budget case world is a bit overwhelming. This market is what the Talos E1 has to break into. Options abound from cases designed to give the best airflow , to gaudy, flashy cases with all the RGB bells and whistles. That’s okay because I believe Gamdias has what it takes to stand out. In fact, that’s the main reason I agreed to review this case. Sometimes you just believe in what a company is trying to do. Continue reading “Gamdias Talos E1 Mini Case Review”
