Today Dominic is taking a look at the Gigabyte Aorus FI32Q X gaming monitor. It's a 32-inch 1440p display with a 240Hz refresh rate - but it can even run at 270Hz via overclocking. It's not cheap though, currently on offer at £840 (down from £900), so is it worth buying?

Today Luke checks out the ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming ITX TB3 motherboard. A board we simply didn't get time to review until recently. We have been that horrified with this board that we took extra time to go over the plethora of issues and quite honestly, we don't know where to start.
On paper this board looks pretty capable, but in reality, it's little short of a disaster - and we explain why. read more here: https://bit.ly/38eGeLf
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Start
00:15 Introduction and details
01:17 Overview of the £290 Z490 Asrock board
01:56 Looks good so far, but …
03:42 Rear I/O and more problems
04:49 VRM Solution and the 30mm fans - 11,000 rpm full speed!
07:23 and another disappointing fact
08:00 Capacitors / space around socket - can we fit a good CPU cooler?
09:52 Testing - UEFI/BIOS
10:51 System build and test results
11:58 Temperatures and power
13:11 VRM - and MOSFET temp concerns - losing more than a GHZ
14:32 High end components, sub par heatsinks - VRM throttling
15:20 Overclocking test - better results than ASRock’s hideous stock settings
15:51 Power Consumption and VRM temps
16:12 The Tiny Fans cranked to 11,000 rpm
16:46 Closing Thoughts - a litany of problems

Today for Nvidia's latest launch, we didn't get a reference card at £199, but instead MSI sent us their Gaming X 6G model, which is priced at £249.99, or in real world terms, only £10 less than the 1660 ti MSRP at £259.99. Does it make any sense at all? Dominic tell it like it is. We really don't understand the pricing of these Nvidia based cards in 2019 - do any of you guys? Let us know what you think in the comments below, we would love to hear your thoughts.

Just a couple of months ago we did a sponsored build with a brand new case from Endorfy, The ARX 700 was Endorfy’s first case to be designed and built entirely in-house, it came with mesh, five 140mm fans and a budget price tag. Well, Today I'm looking at the new Endorfy ARX 500 which has lots of the same features as the ARX 700, it comes in two different versions with or without RGB and it's more compact and cheaper. But is it as good? Let's find out.
