In this review we will be looking at the MSI MEG Z890 ACE gaming motherboard. The MSI MEG line of motherboards are the highest tier product in each segment offering the most features and the promise for better performance. ACE is also a popular product name indicating the top of the gaming line right behind the “Godlike”
In this review we will be looking at the SilverStone SETA A2. This will be the third SATA chassis that I have reviewed on Hardware Asylum and is built on a strong base of high airflow chassis designs supporting some of the largest motherboards on the market. The SETA A2 takes things to the next level with some high-quality materials, solid 140mm cooling and plenty of radiator options.
The Endorfy Thock comes in several switch combinations. You can get the Kailh Box Red shown here, the Kailh Box Black or the Kailh Box Browns all on a black-as-night chassis reinforced with aluminum for maximum RGB visibility.
Asus offers the Helios GX601 in the white and chrome you see here and a more traditional black based configuration. The case may be one of the largest we have seen here in the labs rivaling even the monster builds we tend to enjoy. Two things immediately draw your attention. The beautiful tempered glass on three sides and the unique carry strap. The LAN party guy in me squeals with delight!
The Cooler Master XG850 Plus Platinum Power Supply offers the best of both worlds with an 80Plus Platinum Rating for best in class power efficiency while the 850w level hits a sweet spot for power consumption in most common builds
In this review we will be looking at the new SETA H1 from SilverStone. The SETA H1 is a sister case to the SETA Q1 where the Q1 is designed for silent operation and features a solid front bezel and sound proofing on the inside. For the SETA H1 the focus is different and favors a higher form of airflow using dual 160mm fans breathing through a fully meshed front bezel and addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting.
The ROG Strix Scope NX TKL comes in several flavors. You can get the standard black color scheme or the attractive Moonlight White you see here. Both designs come in a standard or deluxe edition with the deluxe including a matching wrist rest.
In this review we will be looking at the ARES DDR5 Desktop memory from Lexar. These modules are available in dual channel memory kits with a total capacity of 32GB. If you happen to be part of the growing movement against RGB lighting you will be humbled to know that the ARES DDR5 modules are currently RGB adverse and feature a very conservative yet stylish heatspreader design.
One of the great things about high-speed memory is the ability to tweak and tune the modules to suite your system. While our Viper Venom modules ran perfectly at 6200Mhz that speed could be easily increased with a minor timing change and voltage bump.
I can easily recommend the Cooler Master’s CK721 65% Hybrid Wireless Gaming Keyboard as an attractive and functional 65% design. The CK721 goes above and beyond similar designs by offering both wired and wireless functionality at a price normally reserved for simple wired designs.
