I've spent several days trying to digest all Windows 11. Upon my observation, I have come away quite impressed with all the new features in Microsoft's latest operating system, unveiled this past week. Rather than outline every element in the new operating system, I've listed three features in Window 11 that has me stoked.
The market for CPU coolers is heavily saturated, from expensive to budget options—plenty for the chosen. But if you're on a bargain hunt for a CPU cooler, you came to the right place because the Weekending Deal Pick of the Week is the Cooler Master Black Edition CPU cooler.
Dust build-up on fans and vents inside the PC can obstruct airflow, thus causing critical components to overheat. Impeding system performance. But this doesn't have to happen. There are preventive measures you can take to minimize dust build-up.

With that said, if you're looking for a quality budget wireless gaming keyboard, look no further than the NPET K11.
G.Skill, known for manufacturing RAM, just announced its first PC case, the Z5i, a Mini-ITX enclosure featuring dual tempered glass side panels with a vertical form factor. Though the PC chassis is revealed to be a Mini-ITX form factor, internally, there is enough room for a full-size RTX 3090 graphic card.
If you're looking for an excellent tool kit for the next computer build, found a kit you might appreciate. XOOL 80 in 1 Precision screwdriver set is by far the best kit I ever owned. It not only has what you need to build or fix a computer, but there are also enough tools in this kit to fix laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, and tablets. This high-performing tool kit includes all the essential tools, great for any handyman, device hacker, and hobbyist. Finally, a tool kit you definitely can trust.

When Sony's WF-1000XM3 earbuds made their market debut back in 2019, there was a strong consideration in purchasing this audio device. For me, active noise cancellation was a central selling point. But two glaring issues impacted my decision to go with another brand. Firstly, there is no touch sensor, so users can control the volume, skip music tracks, or answer calls. And secondly, it lacked IPX protection from water and dust, so my eventual purchase ended up being the Samsung Galaxy Buds.
Apple has just announced the latest iteration of their mobile operating system, iOS 15. Introducing critical new features, such as FaceTime calls, tools to reduce distractions, a unique notification experience, added privacy, a new design to Safari, Weather, and Maps.
The Noctua's fanless CPU cooler has been the subject of teases, updates, and delays for months now. We know the CPU will eventually hit the market, but when is the question. Well, that may happen very soon. New Egg over the weekend accidentally leaked the CPU cooler on their website and began selling it for $100. They would eventually take it down from their website. Can you say jumping the gun?
Intel has just announced an interesting device; it's the new NUC 11 Extreme kit, better known as Beast Canyon. Though one can marvel at the system's design, it's the internal components that have garnered attention from PC enthusiasts such as myself. It seemingly is a Compute Unit with an integrated motherboard with a CPU and SO-DIMM slot. Intel's latest creation is by far the most significant and powerful NUC to date.
I'm going to let this secret out of the bag and inform you readers that I'm enamored with Logitech products. The company manufactures some of the best computer peripherals on the market. I own several Logitech devices; I can certainly attest to my claim. So it should not surprise anyone that my Week Ending Deal pick of the week is the Logitech MX Master wireless mouse.
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. Nonetheless, Nvidia has just released to market the RTX 3080 Ti. And as we speak, there is already a limited supply at Best Buy and other known vendors. Also, expect inflated prices from third-party sellers.
Just in, AMD has just unveiled their highly anticipated Radeon RX 6000M mobile series GPUs, featuring the RDNA 2 architecture. The answer to Intel's 11th Gen H45 Tiger Lake-H processor, unveiled last month. Let us dive deep into what AMD has in store for us system builders.
PCIe 4.0, better known as Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, is the fourth generation interface for the motherboard with double the bandwidth over PCIe 3.0. The added bandwidth is made available for critical components, such as graphics cards, SSDs, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet cards. Fun facts, AMD was the first out the gate to adopt PCIe 4.0 technology back in January 2017.
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.
I don't know if you can call this a leak or an actual product reveal. Nonetheless, it seems MSI, that company that manufactures all things computing-related, seemingly has a pair of Summit E16 Flip Evo 16-inch laptops coming down the pipe—featuring the new Tiger Lake mobile processor. As listed on a Xotic PC website, the laptop will be embedded with a Core i7-1195G7 processor, the other with a Core i5-1155G7 processor.
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. What stands out most with the design is the aqua blue-colored shell that shrouds the heat sink.
If you want a high-performing speedy system, you'll need to get the best RAM that money can buy if you want to achieve peak performance with your PC. In short, the obvious pick is RAM that has a high-frequency speed ( 3200MHz and beyond) and capacities that exceed well up to 32GB. With that said, I've chosen two branded RAM kits you should install in your gaming PC for achievable peak performance.
The Navi 23 has been a subject to rampant rumors for the past couple of weeks, so it is no surprise that the latest least leaks and rumors gained some traction. Details of the leak include the Navi 23 powering the Radeon RX 6600 XT, Radeon RX 6600, and even the Radeon RX 6500 graphics cards. Adding more buzz, AMD has a Navi 24 GPU in production, code name Beige Goby.
