Oculus has had a difficult six months, with us and just about everyone else claiming that the HTC Vive is the superior headset to its Rift, but that may be harder to justify when Touch controllers arrive. Especially since some of the games that have been built for it from …

Recently we have seen a fair few all-in-one liquid coolers here at KitGuru.
