Following on from our initial Ryzen 3000 reviews, today Luke is looking at something a little different - the Ryzen 5 3400G APU with Vega graphics. It's actually a Zen+, not Zen2, chip which is a little confusing, but just how good is this APU for work and gaming? We find out today.

Today Leo takes a look at the i9 9980XE - and comes away less than impressed with how it compares against AMD Threadripper solutions. It certainly will be the most expensive Turkey you buy this year at Christmas, thats for sure. If you have £2,250 spare of course. Ouch.

James was sent several massive boxes of XPG components from ADATA including their Defender Pro case due for release in 2021 at around $99 (we reckon around £90 in the UK). We decided to showcase the components in a build, featuring an AMD Ryzen 5900X and Gigabyte RTX 3080 Eagle. We think its a cool looking build and definitely one for an RGB lover ! What are your views on RGB? people said it was a fad that would last a year or two, but we can see now, coming into 2021 that this is definitely not the case !

At Computex 2023 KitGuru was shown a number of new cases by be quiet! including the Shadow Base 800 FX. This is a new type of case from the manufacturer that combines huge air flow with a large frame that can accommodate a 420mm cooler in the roof or front, and it comes with plenty of RGB. It seems our German friends have developed a sense of fun. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3RiVle0

Test System:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H170i Elite Capellix
Motherboard: Gigabyte X670E Aorus Xtreme
Memory: 32GB Team Group T-Force Vulcan DDR5-6000
Graphics card: Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT Pure 16GB
Power supply: be quiet! Dark Power 12 1000W Platinum
SSD: Sabrent Rocket 4.0 M.2 NVMe
OS: Windows 11
Pros:
Mesh panels and mighty air flow
Supports huge 420mm coolers
The FX is supplied with 4x 140mm Light Wings fans
Cons:
This is a huge case that looks empty unless you pack it with hardware.
The ARGB/fan hub is large and takes up a fair amount of space
If you want to fill out the case with storage you need to buy accessories.
be quiet! does not offer a 420mm AIO cooler
