Sometimes I think it's pointless writing articles regarding graphics cards, seeing that the market for graphics cards has become so scarce. With the demand so high, the asking price for graphics is ridiculously high—any new graphics cards launched by the manufacture( AMD or NVIDIA) it's immediately sold out.

Today, SSD's are now pushing the boundaries of sequential read speeds. Some are now achieving speeds up to 6,500MB sec, even higher at 7,000MB/ sec. But what often happens with hardware achieving ultra-fast speeds is performance throttling due to vast heat build-up. Gigabyte may have found a solution, limiting performance throttling by connecting a massive heat sink on their latest storage drive, the Aorus Gen4 7000s Prem SSD.

CPU coolers are dime and dozen, literally, all shapes and sizes, a bevy of brands for the chosen. But the Iceberg Thermal IceSLEET X5 profiled in this post has a very peculiar striking design that has grabbed my attention. The CPU cooler resembles a chiseled block of ice.
