Chillblast Fusion Hex (Ryzen R5 1600) System Review

HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs.

Interestingly, the Fusion Hex is slightly off the pace when it comes to my Handbrake video encoding test, and I would stay this is mostly likely because the chip has been left at stock clocks. It is by no means slow, though.

KitGuru Games: A decade of GOTY winners – did voters get it WRONG?

The Game Awards have been around for well over a decade and at this point, the TGAs have cemented themselves as the biggest awards show for the industry. Keighley knows how to draw people in with promises of new game trailers and other announcements, leading to huge moments like Bethesda's reveal for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, or Microsoft's Xbox Series X reveal. Winning the show's GOTY award is considered to be a badge of honour, so let's take a look back at the last ten GOTY winners and whether or not they deserved it.

  1. Thanks for the review KitGuru! Just a couple of points in response to the points raised in the review:

    1. We are working with Cooler Master to produce a sleeved variant of this PSU for this system
    2. With Ryzen 5 being such a new platform we were very limited with memory options that correctly operated to specification on this platform. As the platform matures we will look to include black PCB memory with attractive heat spreaders at no additional cost :).

    Thanks,

    Chillblast

  2. Oh my god is this THAT power supply? Someone actually chose to use it, I questioned this when Leo did his coverage of CeBIT, did someone actually go to the trouble of making a White rated PSU, is that really a PSU that does not even make Bronze efficiency rating?
    This system appears to have corner cutting written all over it or someone got a job lot of parts from Cooler Master. If you are going to fill it with butt ugly components don’t put a huge window on the side, also don’t use a huge case then fill half of it, and leave the empty half bright red so it stands out even more. I’m not the biggest expert in the world but every review I have read has said pair a Ryzen Processor with as high a frequency RAM as you can, certainly not 2400mhz this minimises the lower resolution framerate loss due to the RAM bottleneck. Only use a mini GPU if you are short of space or its for a aesthetic reason.
    Chillblast are normally so much better than this and produce some awesome computers, all I can think is they wanted something in reviewers hands for the launch of Ryzen R5, I hope they take a look at some of the issues…..or at least pick a case without a window as an option ; )
