Dragon Flair Inferno GR4 (i7 7700K/ GTX1080) System Review

The Inferno GR4 ships with 421GB free SSD space, while the HDD has 1.81TB of free space.

It is good to see Dragon Flair has not included any bloatware with its system, too. The only extra apps are things like NZXT CAM and MSI Gaming App which are essential for coordinating the system's lighting.

The CPU is Intel's i7-7700K, overclocked to 4.8GHz using a 1.32 vcore. While this chip is facing a big challenge from Ryzen 7 CPUs thanks to their higher core count, the 7700K is still seen as the fastest gaming CPU.

The GPU is MSI's GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G card. This card comes with a decent factory overclock, as it should boost to 1823MHz. In reality, GPU Boost 3.0 technology helps this card to boost well into the 1920MHz-zone.

Tryx Luca L70 Case Review – needs a lot more work

The Tryx Luca L70 had some negative press at launch but is it really that bad?

5 comments

  1. Sees the S340 flicks to thermals and acoustics sighs and walks away. It’s a £99 budget case in high end build, arghhhhhhh!!!!!!

  2. I actually really like this case – use it for my personal rig with GTX 1080 SLI! what don’t you like about it? In my experience, it’s well-built, the glass looks great, great cable management, compact size

  3. I had a white S340 when it first launched and paid about £50 for it as it was the cheaper brother to the better H440. I found the actual chassis itself to be paper thin and it carried fan vibration terribly. But the worst thing was with a radiator in the front and a 290X it just couldn’t get rid of heat. There’s no reason at all they couldn’t open up the top for a double radiator.
    What annoys me more than anything is they have started with a bargain basement case and dressed it up with silly little extras like stickers and tempered glass and bumped the price up and all of a sudden it’s appearing in £1500 builds. I think it’s used because it’s a lazy way to build a pc with regards to cabling, stop cheapie out and use a corsair crystal or a phanteks system builders!!!!

  5. I cant see what is bumping its price up to well over 2k. i would have liked a better power supply and case it also could have had more ram but lets be honest pre built pc are never the way to go for value for money
