ASUS ROG STRIX X870E Gaming WIFI Motherboard Review
There are a lot of incredible motherboards launching today for the X870/X870E chipset, and while there is a range of affordable to premium solutions, overall, the X-series chipset is still the high-end stuff, and of course, the more affordable B-series chipsets will follow in the coming weeks.

I love the big flagship motherboards with their ridiculous amounts of VRMs, heatsinks, armour, and even more armour, but honestly, when it comes to spending my own money on a motherboard I usually boil my choices down to a B-series board, or more often than not, the TUF-Series. Usually, they…

A few weeks ago, I reviewed the fantastic KLEVV CRAS XR5 8000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 memory. It’s a beautiful kit, but focusing on things like overclocking and ARGB lighting, it was more focused on the gaming market. However, their next kit, the KLEVV KIT V DDR5 is a little more…
