Corsair AF Series LED Fans Unboxing & Overview

Corsair’s LED fans are only available from their AF series right now. I really hope they bring SP series LED fans to the market. Then they’ll really have my attention!

These look great though, honestly. Very high quality LEDs and a better approach to blade design than most LED fans, which are just generic fans with some LEDs strapped to them.

Moto X Unboxing & Review

My Moto X unboxing & review is less about the “tech specs” that you’re going to find in everyone else’s review everywhere, and more to do with my personal experience using the device.

Personal Rig Update 2012 Part 16 – Motherboard & Graphics Card Swap Linus Tech Tips

So my rig has actually been pretty much done for a while, but it hasn’t been in a state where I’ve been really ready to call it “complete”. The motherboard was pretty flaky with my RAID card, and my graphics card wasn’t modern enough to allow me to use NVIDIA’s Game Streaming tech.

There’s actually STILL an issue with it that’s bugging me, too. The UV LED lights I got from Phobya are terrible. About 50-70% of the LEDs are either dim or not working at all, so my lighting effects are not very good at all. Unfortunately it’s just too much work to replace them at this point (almost complete tear-down and re-assembly to get at some of them)

This video doesn’t address that issue, but it does show my Kepler (GTX Titan) and motherboard upgrade that gets me to the point where it’s at least technically functional and very stable.

Sennheiser Momentum On Ear Unboxing & Review

Sennheiser’s original Momentum headphones were well-reviewed by pretty much everyone… except me. The cold hard truth is that I made a mistake. I reached out to Sennheiser about giving me another crack with their new Momentum On Ear and this is the result!

BenQ XL2420TE 144Hz Gaming LCD Unboxing & Review

BenQ’s XL2420TE is frankly the best gaming LCD monitor I’ve seen. Its colour reproduction, while not on the same level as an IPS panel, is MUCH better than other high speed TN monitors that I’ve encountered, and there almost no discernable input lag or motion blur. This one’s a winner, folks.
