Years ago, the SFF community waited with bated breath for the ASRock DeskMini A300. With AMD APU support, it offered a better balance than Intel chips between the CPU and GPU. This SFF Gem was the ideal Deskmini, and the SFF Network community...
We would like to thank Fractal Design for providing us with a review sample of their Ridge chassis. Without their generosity, this case review would not be possible. Way back at CES 2019, representatives at Fractal were quick to quell our...

Tested by Christopher “Revenant” Moine Senior Editor Update 1-20-2024: More detailed fan tests were conducted in the thermals sections. Those test charts were added, and fan-speed normalized chart updated. These changes do not reflect a...
Thanks to ASRock for supplying these review samples! With Intel’s LGA1851 purported to be launching later this year, the last designs based on the LGA1700 platform are making their way on to the market. Supporting “Alder Lake” 12th gen, “Raptor...

Many thanks to Streacom for providing this review sample to SFF.Network for review. Back in my day… Way back when, the fanciest of home audio equipment, the venerable “tower of power” only found in your child-less uncle’s abode, had a bunch of...
Let’s be very clear before we begin: we are looking at the RTX 4060 from a small form factor perspective. I intentionally requested the ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 4060 SOLO, and not a two or three fan OC card. This is a very small, single fan GPU...

A short while back, I took a punt on a broken Dell OEM RTX 3060 Ti from our local eBay competitor – TradeMe.co.nz. As an aside, eBay has never managed to get a foothold on the Aotearoa New Zealand market space as TradeMe offers such a dominant...

Many thanks to CORSAIR for supplying SFF Network with this review sample. Before we get started – SFF Network does not currently possess the hardware, testing equipment and skillset to fully analyse and opine on power supplies. We encourage...
Many thanks to CORSAIR for supplying SFF Network with this review sample. CORSAIR’s ‘small’ case lineup has always been on the larger side (albeit ignoring the fantastic ONE prebuilt) – befitting the RGB-laden, bigger is better mindset of the...
