HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro Gaming Mouse Review @ ThinkComputers
Back when HyperX wasn't run by HP they had some really innovative products. We have reviewed a few over the years but, after the purchase and asset transfer it seemed like HP was just happy just how things were.
Well, color me surprised, there is a new (upgraded) mouse in the HyperX lineup and ThinkComputers has the scoop.
It seems every two years or so, HyperX updates their Pulsefire Haste mouse, and that tradition carries on, as in this review we are taking a look at the brand new Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro. The Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro is a wireless gaming mouse with multiple connectivity options, great battery life, and more, all wrapped up in a lightweight package. I have been using the previous Pulsefire Haste 2 for nearly two years, and have not once thought about replacing it, until now. It has been reliable, just like the original Pulsefire Haste, and so when I had the chance to look at the latest and greatest Haste 2, I said "Sign me up!". Are the changes to the Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro enough to claim the throne that is my desk? Let's find out!
Its kind of a basic wireless mouse, no fancy buttons, but the 26k resolution and 90 hour battery life is nice.

PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 Review @ Vortez
When it comes to AMD video card makers, a few names come to mind and PowerColor is often at the top of the list. Many would argue that their cards are not really "that good" but nobody would argue about the success of their marketing.
Names like "Devil" and "Hellhound" are just awesome to say, especially when you are talking up your build at the local LAN or tech gathering.
What bothers me is that, when you start diving into the details you quickly realize that much of the marketing is fluffy pluff. Take for instance this quote.
Powercolor’s Hellhound Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition arrives with a 70MHz factory overclock to 2.59 GHz, as well as augmented cooling in the form of a dual-slot triple-fan solution with long heatsink and Honeywell PTM7950 phase-change thermal pads.
A 70Mhz overclock, OMG call in the fire department!!

SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+ review @ Guru3D
Have you ever wondered what a brick would look like if you added some fans, RGB and called it a video card?? Seems that Sapphire has done just that with their latest Nitro+ edition RX 9070 XT graphics card.
We review the SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+, this model based on the RX 9070 XT SKU has drawn significant attention among tech gurus for its technical design and distinctive features. The card’s design includes a mesh structure that improves airflow while concealing the power connector behind a removable backplate. This is the first Radeon from Sapphire to use a 16-pin power connector. Although the overall power consumption is designed to stay below 375W, this specification has sparked discussions among hardware enthusiasts.
I like how AMD enthuisasts are now getting concerned about the power capacity of the 16-pin power sockets being used on their graphics cards. While I do believe the connector could be designed better, I also belive that many of the problems spawn from user error.

Lexar ARES RGB DDR5-7200 32GB Memory Kit Review @ ThinkComputers
I am a fan of Lexar memory, every kit I have tested has been stable and delivered on everything it advertised. Granted, some modules overclock better than others but, when you look at where the module actually came from you can usually figure out why.
At CES 2025, Lexar had some of the fastest memory modules on display and... these are not those modules but rather some "slow" 7200 sticks with great RGB.
With the introduction of new platforms and better memory controllers we in turn get faster memory. That is the case here today with Lexar's ARES RGB DDR5-7200 memory kit. Not too long ago we took a look at their 6400 MHz kit, which was pretty fast at the time, but now we are up to 7200 MHz! The specific kit is the LD5U16G72C34LA-RGD kit which is a 32GB (2x16GB) kit that runs at 7200 MHz with timings of 34-42-42-84 at 1.4V. Of course being ARES RGB you are going to get some sleek lighting as well. Is this the memory you need for your new build? Read on as we find out!
Specs wise, these modules are pretty basic but @ 7200MT/s they will make your system scream and come back for more.

Funky Kit Review - ASRock Phantom Gaming B860i Lightning WiFi Motherboard
There comes time, maybe once or twice in a lifetime when things make a major shift. They say the magnetic poles of the earth were swapped once or twice in the past, sometimes rich people act stupid and major CPU makers change places at the top of the performance tower of power.
Back some ages ago, AMD was the king of the enthusiast PC, they offered the best overclocking, best performance and generally were keen to introduce new technlogies to the market. Well, AMD is back on top of the world and we will start to see some really good motherboard designs from them, including this gem from ASRock.
If you're in the market for an affordable mini-ITX motherboard that's compatible with the Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors, then take a look at the ASRock Phantom Gaming B860i Lightning WiFi. It's compact in size, yet packs a powerful punch in terms of performance and features.
Its badass black, its small and built from the "B" chipset for extra boring performance in a performance limited platform. And, that is just fine.
