Arka Mukherjee0 CommentsReviewsDesktop, Hardware and Devices, MSI

Introduction Intel has always followed up with their cheaper and more affordable B series of motherboards a few months after the Z and H series of motherboards hit the market. Alder Lake-S wasn’t an exception to this formula, and we have the B660 motherboards right at the beginning of 2022. The B660 does little improvement over the last-gen B560. It supports DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics cards and storage devices. Support for memory overclocking was brought forward to this platform after a critical reception with its introduction to the B560 platform. MSI was kind enough to send their…

NZXT N7 B550 Review

Tathagata Biswas0 CommentsReviewsDesktop, Hardware and Devices, NZXT

Back in July of 2019, AMD came up with their latest flagship, X series chipset, the X570. It was a huge step in the right direction, with the inclusion of PCIe GEN 4.0 and 8 USB 3.1 Gen2. But all these feature upgrades meant we saw a jump in the operating TDP of the chipset from a very optimized 4.8w in the X470 platform to 11w on the X570 which was higher than the 6.8w on the X370 platform. This bump in the TDP warranted the use of some active cooling solutions on the chipset. The introduction of the X570…

Now, I did have this thing for a little over a week, so here we go. Before I begin, thanks to Hardware Corpus for sending this review unit. Unboxing Logitech does not follow the extravagant way with the unboxing of this mouse. But the box lifts slowly and it has some resistance. This slowly builds up…
