The Noctua NF-A14x25 G2 PWM is a high-performance, ultra-quiet 140mm fan designed with meticulous engineering and premium materials like Sterrox LCP. It combines impressive thermal efficiency, low noise output, and exceptional durability with features like advanced anti-vibration components and a six-year warranty.

The Ocypus Iota A62 is a dual-tower, 120mm air cooler offering competitive performance at an affordable price of $64.99. It has a clean white design, solid thermal capabilities, and a basic digital display that shows live CPU or GPU temperatures. Despite its limited orientation due to the display and the need for a spare USB 2.0 header, it delivers excellent value with its simple installation, support for modern sockets, and quiet operation.

The Ocypus Iota L36 White is a well-rounded 360mm AIO cooler that combines solid performance with eye-catching design. The cooler stands out with its sleek white design, digital display showing CPU or GPU temperature, and subtle A-RGB lighting. The fans are quiet and the installation is straightforward, though it does require a USB 2.0 header for the digital display functionality. At an MSRP of $99.99, it offers good value for money.

The MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk Max WiFi is an excellent mid-ranger and a great option for stepping onto the latest platform with your Ryzen 9000 CPU. It has a decent 14+2+1 DRPS design with 14x 80A SPS for the CPU, enough for even the AM5 big dogs. 5G LAN, WiFi 7, dual Gen 5 M.2 slots, PCIe 5.0 x16, and EZ-DIY are the highlights on the board. The lack of dual-sided thermal pads for the Gen 5 M.2 slot is a disappointment.

The ORICO 2BIG DAS is a simple and budget-friendly enclosure that can house two drives (2.5" or 3.5") and handle up to 44TB total capacity, connecting over USB Type-C at 5Gbps. It lacks RAID support and is made of plastic, but it includes a small fan for cooling and provides straightforward access to each drive, making it a practical option for local backups or putting spare drives to use.

The Corsair Virtuoso Max Wireless delivers exceptional audio quality through its 50mm graphene drivers, providing a rich and balanced sound profile suitable for both gaming and multimedia use. Its sturdy aluminium frame and sleek design give a high-end feel which is further complemented by subtle RGB lighting on the earcups.

The Trident Z5 Royal Neo DDR5-8000 CL38 is G.Skill's latest addition to their EXPO DDR5 lineup. It follows the same design as previous kits from this lineup, with a mirrored silver/gold finish and a crystalline light bar. It's capable of running at DDR5-6400 CL28 with a latency of just 8.75ns, a configuration at which it can beat any kit in the market with speeds ranging from 6000-6400 MT/s. All this comes at a towering price tag of $179, though.

We picked out the best CPU coolers for Core Ultra 9 285K after months of dedicated testing, bringing you our 5 top picks.

The Epomaker Galaxy70 is a good keyboard that excels in many departments. Its construction is clearly the highlight with an unconventional design that really suits the package. The sound, feel, and value are all there but instability in the wireless performance makes this a hard sell. If you can live with that compromise, the Galaxy70 is a worthy purchase.

The MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE is the most expensive X870 chipset motherboard, costing $1099. For this, you get a top-notch VRM setup and impressive cooling, a premium-looking design, high-end build quality (courtesy of a 10-layered PCB), and great features. While we were thoroughly impressed by the board in all departments, we still think the price tag is too high.
