Palicomp Alpha Pulse Gaming PC Review

We measured the noise emissions of our entire test system at the wall while loading the CPU using Prime95 and GPU using FurMark.  We also measured the noise emissions of the system with it resting at the desktop.  We placed our digital sound level meter 1m from the front of the case when recording results.

The only area in which the Alpha Pulse doesn't excel is in noise emissions.  When the system is idle it's far from silent and under load it generates quite an intrusive whiny noise.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

  1. looks like a good selection of components but im not impressed with the case either. Thermaltake make shoddy cases generally. low cost materials etc.

  2. looks like a nice system, but id rather build my own, as Henry said, dont like this case at all.

  3. Just like me if you are a great fan of gaming computers then you should check out the online shop.

  4. £1399.99 now…

  5. Price increases in this case are reasonable and understandable.
    The world’s components are traded in dollars.
    At the time it was reviewed, the US dollar was relatively weak – with a value of around $1.65 to £1
    The pound now only buys just over $1.50 – which is a drop of almost 10%
    That 10% movement will translate into a cost increase of around the same value
    If a company submits a machine for review and changes it within 28 days, then we will launch a FULL investigation… But a change after many months where the source of the change is (a) clear and (b) outside the supplier’s control is fine

    We hope you agree 🙂
