2024 could have been a better year for Hardware Asylum but, we still got to do some amazing things and explore some great new hardware. 2025 marks an attempt to change things up a bit, bring back from old friends and start some new chapters.
Modern computer systems require modern products to extract the very best performance. When it comes to system memory the new CUDIMM modules are designed to deliver on that promise and there is no better example than the Lexar ARES RGB modules clocked in at 9600MT/s making them some of the fastest sticks at CES.
On display during CES, Creative was showing the latest version in the Pebble series the Nova. The Pebble Nova has the same great form factor but with the addition of a woofer directly behind the primary speaker.
This adventure started with a special memory line that you could by from GSKill, the Splave edition. This special memory bin offered Trident Z5 RGB modules with special tuning and are now getting included with custom overclocked gaming PCs tuned by Splave himself.
One of the exciting releases during Computex 2024 was the AI Top product line from Gigabyte. These new motherboards are specially designed for the unique demands of AI development and now range to include most every available chipset from the AMD B850 up to the TRX50 Threadripper and Intel W790.

One of the pinnacles of enthusiast cooling performance is the DIY watercooling loop. Not only can it offer the best ambient level cooling performance but when done correctly looks amazing. For this build we will be using TT Premium Cooling gear and a custom painted Core V51
It is no secret that Cooler Master has always been an innovator in the computer hardware world so why not support like minded individuals and teams who do the same.
In this article I’ll be going outline that major things to consider when planning your watercooling loop. You will find these divided into three major categories based on their importance and impact to your build.
Most modern gaming cases come with a way for you to lock the side panels. This might be a metal loop which is stamped into the metal or an actual tab you install. Either way it gives you some assurance that nobody will get into your case without the key or some big tools.
Over the weekend of February 19th-21st Hardware Asylum was at The Boise LAN 2.0. The event was hosted at the Trailhead in downtown Boise Idaho making it one of the only local (at least to me) gaming events in the area.
