Cougar 600M Gaming Mouse Review @ BMR

Quote: " Cougar has become quite proficient in it’s ability to continually surprise with innovation in peripherals. With the most recent iteration of their gaming mouse series, the Cougar 600M, the uncompromising engineering and design approach is stretched to the very limits by offering it at a more budget-friendly price. Just taking one look at this new species of desk-rodent raises an eyebrow — a hyper-colored orange mouse? Cougar boldly proclaims, “Yes” and demands you to look! Today at Benchmark Reviews, curiosity certainly has captured the cat, now let’s see if the 600M can roar!"

AKRacing Gaming Chair Review @ ocaholic

Quote: "During the last few days we used the AKRacing Player Gaming Chair a lot, realizing that a correct posture is really important when you spend a lot of time at a desk, especially for your back. The aggressive look is definitely a plus and it's made out of high quality material, even though it could be even better in some things, like plastic covers on the sides. The only black mark, which is not even so important, is the disassembly of the chair as some components can't be disassembled so easily, like the gas piston that needs a special procedure to be removed once in place.

InWin D-Frame Mini mITX Case Review @ PureOverclock

Quote: "If money is no object and you want opulence in the most functional way possible, InWin may have something that’s right up your alley. As of late they are most well known for their artful use of aluminum and tempered glass in cases like the S-Frame, the 901/904, and the D-Frame, and today we’re take a look at the D-Frame’s little brother, the D-Frame Mini. Equipped with the same tubular aluminum and open-air design as its larger sibling, I’m going to see if this form factor does an mITX system any justice, and decide if the 300 dollar price tag is really worth it in the end.”

Pentium J2900 CPU Review @ HardwareSecrets

Quote: "It is hard to say whether the quad-core Pentium J2900 is a direct competitor to the Sempron 2650 and to the Celeron J1800 or not, since they are dual-core CPUs; the A4-5000, however, is also a quad-core CPU. The Pentium J2900 comes soldered on motherboard, like the Celeron J1800 and the A4-5000, while the Sempron 2650 uses a socket, being sold separately from the motherboard. However, all of them are low-cost, low-consumption processors, and they are SoC (System On a Chip) CPUs, which means they include the processing cores, the memory controller, the video controller, and also the chipset in the same chip."

Far Cry 4 Video Card Performance Review @ HardOCP

Quote: "Far Cry 4 was launched on November 18th of 2014. This has been a highly anticipated game ever since its announcement in early 2014. This is the sequel to the very successful game Far Cry 3 which was released in 2012. While this is a sequel, the storyline and setting are completely separate. Far Cry 4 however does use the same game engine as Far Cry 3 just updated with new art assets and technology embracing NVIDIA GameWorks.....

We have waited this long to do our full performance evaluation on Far Cry 4 for the sole reason that we knew new patches would be coming to fix some of the major bugs and change performance. We have been in deep contact with NVIDIA and Ubisoft on Far Cry 4 issues since the game launched. We have had many back-and-forth communications. This has allowed us to get a ton of information about the bugs to NVIDIA and Ubisoft so they can address these, as well as get information and a deeper understanding on the graphic’s features in this game."

TP-LINK Archer C8 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Review

Quote: "TP-LINK is really building its way to the top by releasing newer products which offer a stable connection, while most of the settings can be done on-the-fly, without the need of a router reboot. The new interface is quite light, pleasant to the eye and most of the setting menus are organized on the left side, as we have been seen with the previous versions. Now we also have a Basic menu which includes a lighter version of the interface, for people which do not want to spend time fine-tuning their connection on both wired and wireless.

The Guest feature is available for fast configuration in case we need to work with a tablet/smartphone in order to restore some settings quickly or for letting other people connect without needing a user and password. With this new release, we can configure a password even for the guest users if necessary and to important settings also come to mind: the ability to allow guests to see each other and also to be able to give them access to our network. What is necessary to mention is the fact that these settings must be used only temporary so we won’t have issues with our main, secured connection."
