Intel Core i9-10900K benchmarks have leaked, and it’s still slower than the Ryzen 9 3900X

MSI Clutch GM30 Gaming Mouse Review: Comfy RGB Pointer
When it comes to finding the best gaming mouse, what some require is optional for others.

PNY XLR8 2x16GB DDR4-3200 Review: A Really Big Deal?
Any tech geek who’s been in a coma for the past decade would be excused for thinking of PNY as primarily a memory company, but its recent marketing efforts have focused primarily for storage and graphics cards.

Gigabyte TRX40 Aorus Xtreme Review: Battle For Threadripper Supremacy
AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper processors don’t come cheap, so a race for the top in motherboards to support the platform was expected before the latest CPU series was even confirmed.
