To celebrate the launch of the Dark Rock 4 series, we are teaming up with be quiet! to give away FIVE CPU coolers! We have three Dark Rock Pro 4s and two Dark Rock 4s up for grabs, so get your entry in fast!

Leo gets hands-on with the latest processors for AMD as well as some of the newest X470 motherboards from ASUS, GIGABYTE and MSI!

AMD's 2nd Gen Ryzen processors are on the horizon- we've got pricing and spec details, alongside some information on what improvements AMD has made under the hood for its Zen+ refresh.

This week our opinionated hero focuses on graphics. The hot topics of the day are Nvidia GPP, and the possibility that Nvidia have forced some rules onto industry behemoth ASUS (as well as Gigabyte and MSI of course). He also discusses the unpleasant shortage of graphics cards - but is it actually the distributors who are holding stock to keep the prices inflated? Rumours have been circulating behind the scenes this week and its a juicy one.

It has been a wild few weeks in terms of Nvidia news, with the GeForce Partner Program continuing to be a sticking point of discussion. There is already reason to believe that MSI and Gigabyte have signed on, but rumors surrounding ASUS's involvement are now beginning to swirl.

ASRock's venture into the graphics card market will target both gaming and mining crowds.

MSI has launched its new GS65 laptop to take full advantage of Intel’s new 6-core mobile 8th Gen. Coffee lake CPU. Quad core mobile CPUs have ruled the laptop roost since the launch of Intel Clarksfield in 2009 (yes, we had to look that up) so the leap forward to 6-cores was big news when the desktop Coffee Lakes launched in October 2017. The big question was when we would see these six-core CPUs in mobile form and the answer, finally, is ‘now’.

SK Hynix is gearing up for mass production of its GDDR6 memory within the next three months, claiming that almost all new Nvidia GeForce cards will sport the technology.

This week our opinionated hero discusses many a hot topic. He updates us all on the AMD CTS debacle (was it an out and out attack on AMD or was there actually some merit to the points raised) and discusses some insider info on the Nvidia Geforce Partner Program. He also discusses the new 100TB Solid State Drive and some documented issues with Firefox when attempting to access 4k videos on YouTube.

Afraid of the BIOS, dont like the thought of overclocking? Wouldn't you like some extra performance from your system without much effort? 8PACK showed Briony how to do it. Its not rocket science. Honest.

We travelled to the home of Overclockers UK to take a look at some of the fastest PCs money can buy. Ian '8PACK' Parry shows Briony two of the updated ultimate watercooled PCs in the 8PACK range. Each system can be fully customised in a range of colour combinations and only the best performing components make the final cut!

G.Skill has pushed the boundaries once again, achieving a whopping 5000MHz speed on a dual-channel module while being cooled by air.

The Nvidia GeForce Partner Program controversy has been going on for a couple of weeks now and during that time, more information has come to light. We've been keeping an eye on things and had a chat with an inside source to bring out some updated coverage.

This week our opinionated hero discusses sexism on YouTube and some of the comments that KitGuru reviewer Briony Hannam has received - and why quite a few blokes could do with taking a good hard look at themselves before posting.

The ACER Swift 3 comes armed with an AMD Ryzen 5 2500U quad core processor that can turbo up to 3.6GHz.

There has been a media blitz of reports surrounding AMD Zen processor flaws over the last 24 hours. However, the situation surrounding CTS Labs, its research and its disclosure, is suspicious to say the least.

Too scared to build your own system? Briony is no expert, did a live build - its well worth a look.

We were given a break from the usual controversies surround graphics cards last week after a report surfaced surrounding Nvidia's new GeForce Partner Program. It seems that there is some concern behind the scenes about what this program represents and its potential for anti-consumerism, so today we are digging in and hoping to clear up some points of confusion.

If you are in need of a new game to jazz up your weekend, then we have the competition for you. Over the weekend, we are running a caption contest, the winner of which will receive a STEAM game of their choice. It's open WORLDWIDE and we'll pick a winner on Sunday!

It seems that news of RAM prices stabilising has been greatly exaggerated, as datacentre demand has begun to drive costs even higher than before.

We've known for a couple of months now that AMD plans to roll out its Ryzen 2000 series CPUs in April. Last week, the first Ryzen 7 2700X leaks gave us a good idea of what to expect in terms of improvements and today, AMD's initial lineup of Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 2000 series processors has leaked online, alongside launch prices for each chip.
