YouTube Video VVV5LXBZRGZWYVJ3ZlEwekNoT0JSdXV3Lk1OMmdTRWwxOUVF When AMD announced the Ryzen 7 7700X3D at Computex 2026, the idea appeared straightforward: offer gamers a cheaper route into an eight-core X3D processor on socket AM5. The processor itself is not the problem. In Leo’s testing, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D delivers strong gaming performance and frequently comes close to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, while drawing slightly less power. The problem is its launch price. AMD’s official UK price is £294.99. At the time of filming, the faster Ryzen 7 7800X3D was available from major UK retailers for essentially the same money. Add the extremely high current cost of DDR5 memory, and AMD’s supposedly affordable route into AM5 becomes very difficult to justify. Leo compares the Ryzen 7 7700X3D against the Ryzen 7 2700X, 5800X3D, 7800X3D and 9850X3D, while also examining the AM4 and AM5 upgrade options.

Today we're looking at the Lian Li B4 mATX — a compact 21.3-litre Micro-ATX case developed in collaboration with DAN Cases. Despite its small footprint, it supports full-sized Micro-ATX motherboards, graphics cards up to 358mm long, both ATX and SFX power supplies, and even a 360mm AIO. It also offers the choice of a mesh or real wood front panel, along with the option to run the case horizontally or vertically to better suit your setup. Lian Li is aiming to deliver the hardware compatibility of a much larger chassis in a compact SFF design. In this review, we'll find out if the B4 mATX can deliver on that promise, or not. Let's get into it. Interested in a new PC and not got time to build your own? check out cyberpower systems here: https://shorturl.at/DrynF (Kitguru gets no kick back from any sales).

The LiberNovo Omni Pro is a premium ergonomic chair with motorised back support, Omni Stretch mode, active seat ventilation, a removable headrest and an optional footrest. After a month of daily use, we look at what it is actually like to live with, where its comfort and adjustability stand out, and where the high price, short mechanical warranty and small build issues make things more complicated...

The ASUS ROG Pelta Wireless is a mid-range gaming headset that takes a slightly different approach to sound, offering a flatter out-of-the-box profile with plenty of room for customisation. With strong wireless connectivity, excellent comfort, and a lightweight version of Armoury Crate handling the software side, it looks solid on paper. But how well does it actually perform in real-world use, and is it worth the asking price?

ASUS ROG Pelta Review: Great… With One Catch

KitGuruTech July 9, 2026 9:34 am

Can a PC case that costs less than £50 actually be any good? In this review, Leo takes a detailed look at the Montech TG3, a budget ATX chassis that includes dual tempered glass panels, four pre-installed ARGB fans, support for rear-connector motherboards and a surprisingly solid feature set for the money. We build a complete gaming system inside the TG3 before putting it through our usual airflow, smoke and thermal testing to find out whether this budget case can keep modern hardware under control. The results might not be exactly what we expected, especially when using a large air cooler instead of an AIO. If you’re shopping for an affordable gaming PC case, this is one you won’t want to miss. 00:00 Start 00:49 Stripdown / A look inside / Front I/O 02:44 Motherboard Support 03:20 Installing a system 05:44 Smoke test for airflow 06:15 Thermal and Noise Testing 08:35 PSU change 09:14 Closing Thoughts We never offer affiliate links or take percentages of product sales.

Today Leo checks out the Endorfy Fishtank 6000 Corona, a panoramic glass case with four included RGB fans, support for rear-connector motherboards and plenty of room for high-end hardware. We build a Ryzen 7 9850X3D and RTX 5080 system inside it, visualise airflow with smoke and find that while the styling and build experience are solid, cooling performance leaves something to be desired...

The Cooler Master QUBE 540 takes a very different approach to PC case design. With three layout options, a modular internal design and plenty of customisation possibilities, it’s certainly one of the more unique cases we’ve looked at this year. But does that flexibility come with compromises, or has Cooler Master managed to create something that’s genuinely practical to build in? James takes a closer look at the design, build quality, thermals, acoustics and overall value to find out if the QUBE 540 deserves a place on your shortlist. 00:00 Start 00:47 Details / Pricing / Hardware Support 02:44 Front I/O 02:59 Removing Panels / Dust Filters 05:04 Radiator / Cooling Support 07:43 Hardware (Mobo/GPU/Storage) Support 09:05 Rear of the case 09:49 Right hand side / Cable Management 11:27 Bottom of the case 12:20 Accessories / Customisation 13:47 Thermal and Noise Testing 15:55 Smoke test 16:34 Installation thoughts 18:58 Closing Thoughts Interested in a new PC and not got time to build your own? check out cyberpower systems here: https://shorturl.at/DrynF (Kitguru gets no kick back from any sales). Features: • Highly Modular Design – The QUBE 540 can be configured in multiple ways, including horizontal or vertical orientation, with repositionable handles and I/O panel locations to suit different build setups. • Built for DIY Customisation – The case is designed around flexibility, with extensive fan and radiator support, removable panels and adaptable internal layouts that allow builders to tailor the system to their own requirements. • Exceptional Hardware Compatibility – There’s Support for motherboards up to E-ATX, graphics cards up to 415mm long and multiple 360mm radiator mounting positions, so there's plenty of room for high-performance hardware.

Cooler Master’s QUBE 540 Is Unlike Any Other PC Case

KitGuruTech July 2, 2026 10:20 am

At Computex we were shown the Micro-ATX Corsair 2800X, however we were vague about the price and said 'it will be priced towards the budget end of the scale'. The reason we were vague is that Corsair wasn't 100% sure they would be able to deliver the 2800X at the price they were discussing, and they wanted some wiggle room in case their plans changed. Today we can announce the news that Corsair has indeed delivered the 2800X exactly as they hoped and also, it's rather good. Interested in a new PC and not got time to build your own? check out cyberpower systems here: https://shorturl.at/DrynF (Kitguru gets no kick back from any sales). 00:00 Start 00:39 Overview / disassembly / cooler support 02:37 Building a system inside 04:30 Airflow smoke test 05:10 Thermal and noise testing 06:45 Leo discusses thermals 09:04 Micro ATX Thoughts 11:28 Space and routing 12:42 Closing Thoughts Testing To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an Intel Core i9-12900K, RTX 3080 and an SSD.

Corsair 2800X Review - The Price Changes Everything

What was meant to be a straightforward review of Geekom's A9 Max (2026) turned into something quite different. On paper it is very similar to the 2025 model we reviewed last September, the main difference being that CPU has been upgraded from the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, to the HX 470. It's a small spec bump, so we're expecting perhaps a 5% boost to performance. Instead, we found things were dramatically worse with the new model, so we had to dig a little deeper and find out what was going on... See the A9 Max 2025 review: https://youtu.be/WPj11IgpBkY 00:00 Intro 00:51 2025 vs 2026 A9 Max models 01:12 The root cause… 02:18 Testing setup 02:59 Benchmarks! 05:12 Gaming performance is hit hard 06:14 CPU clock behaviour 06:50 Discussion around the memory situation 07:54 Geekom responded to us 08:21 One other change (SSD) 09:03 No other design changes 09:25 Closing thoughts We never offer affiliate links or take percentages of product sales.
