TweakTown Reviews Sabrent Rocket 4.0 2230 1TB SSD – Yes, the Super Tiny One
TweakTown’s Jon Coulter has taken a deep dive into the absolutely tiny Sabrent Rocket NVMe 2230 class M.2 drive, and was pleased by what he found. For those that don’t know, Sabrent has risen to become one of the most recommended SSD manufactures today as they usually offer excellent performance coupled with excellent prices. This is in no small part thanks to the Phison based controllers they use in their designs. Phison units are used across the industry and are shared with other SSDs from the likes of Corsair, Inland, MSI, and Gigabyte. Also for those that don’t know, …
Guru 3D Reviews 150mm Long FSP Hydro G Pro 1000W ATX 3.0
Guru 3D has taken a look at the FSP Hydro G Pro 1000W PSU with pleasant results. With a length of only 150mm, the ATX 3.0 / PCIe 5.0 unit is likely going to be of interest for the SFF community who want to use ATX PSUs. The PSU tested well with Guru 3D, and earned their approved award. Guru 3D complimented the cables, build quality, and relative quietness of the unit. This doesn’t surprise me as the FSP Dagger unit I tested last year was a very solid PSU, and saw it used again in the System 76 …
REVOCCASES Shows Custom Wood Front SFF PC Case
What started as inspiration from the Fractal North case, has turned into an absolutely stunning wood a metal SFF case from REVOCCASES. REVOCCASES had the metal custom machined and powder coated, and used a programmable router to create what I personally see as an organic take on brutalist design with the front wood panel. The design houses an ITX motherboard, SFX PSU, 2.5 inch SSD, and full size GPU in a vertical stack design with the motherboard at the bottom. Extremely large air coolers are supported, and GPU cooling can be supplemented with two fans at the front. A …
Gamers Nexus Reviews $6,600 Origin-Corsair Custom PC and It’s Absolutely AWFUL
Origin was once one of the most respected custom PC integrators in the world. They went toe to toe with Falcon Northwest, and were renowned for their build quality. Not anymore. Steve from Gamers Nexus, seen above staring at evidence we’re in the worst possible timeline, purchased and reviewed a $6,600 Origin custom PC. This is not a review sample. They bought this undercover. Spoiler alert, it’s an absolute mess and broken out of the box. How bad is it? Let’s look at the issues. – The CPU (5800X3D) was locked to its base clock and running about 25% …

Hardware Unboxed Tests Eleven B650 Budget Motherboards
Yeah…budget boards are up to $220 these days… Hammer on Box’s Steve, seen above wondering when $220 became “budget” for a motherboard, took a look at eleven B650 motherboards. He tortures them with a Ryzen 9 7950X with two Asus boards hitting over 100C under load. The Asrock took the top two spots for temps, with 58C for the Asrock B650 Pro RS and B650M PG Riptide. MSI came in third at 65C for the Pro B650-P WiFi. Truth be told, everything he tested were under 80C under load except for the aforementioned Asus boards. While the thermals were …
ETA Prime Reviews Mobile Component Based G2 Edge Mini Gaming PC Packing RTX 3050 / i7-12700H
ETA Prime has taken a look at the AliExpress sourced G2 Mini Gaming PC. The unit sports a RTX 3050 (Mobile) and Intel Core i7-12700H. The system has a 150 watt power cap, and provided surprisingly good 1080P and 1440P performance in games at medium to high settings. High Settings at 1080P in Spider-Man Mile Morales was easily locked at above 60FPS for example. The unit, which looks to my eye quite a bit like the old Asus GR8 line, comes in at rather reasonable $679 for the bare bones unit. However, do take note that 4GB of …
