Today Andy is back with a review of Fierce PC's pre-built system, named the Shuriken! It's meant to 'slice 'n dice' everything in its path, and with a Ryzen 5 3600 and Radeon RX 5700, it certainly has some decent hardware inside. Does Andy think it's worth the £1799 asking price?** See below on PRICE UPDATE!
EDIT 12th August: It would appear that FiercePC initially sent us the wrong pricing information, it should be £1499.95 not £1799.95 as discussed in the video. They also say that Windows 10 adds £109.99 to the price. Although I gotta say, we can find it online ourselves for £20 and they seem to work in regards to the legality of the serial keys via Microsoft. Still - we needed to point this out as we were told today 12th August that the pricing is not right!

So we know Montech well for being a budget case manufacturer, the company has released some impressive budget chassis previously, some of which we have featured on the channel. But the new Montech King 95 Pro looks like anything but budget with features such as curved glass, a relocatable side fan bracket, an interchangeable front panel, six forward and reverse ARGB fans, and an integrated ARGB PWM fan hub. But how does it shape up to the other similar ducal chamber cases on the market? Let’s find out.

Our review a few days ago has caused a lot of debate. So much so that we felt we should go back and get more details and further information from some retests. We got another Noctua D15 sample on our test bench and reran a lot of tests. Thanks to Noctua for being such a great group of guys to work with ! Link to original video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GYVjV6qqPM&feature=youtu.be
We thank everyone for their feedback in our last video and we hope this further detail today helps everyone make an informed buying decision!

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
