Thermal Grizzly Duronaut is a high-performance thermal paste designed for durability and efficient heat transfer. It’s easy to apply, works well for overclocking, and offers great value while maintaining long-term performance.

The Teamgroup G70 Pro 4TB NVMe SSD delivers impressive speed, solid build quality, and reliable thermal management, making it a great choice for gamers, content creators, and power users. With sequential read speeds of up to 7400MB/s and write speeds of 6600MB/s, it competes well with pricier alternatives while offering PS5 compatibility and a five-year warranty.

Boasting a 360W TDP, the 5080 means business Thus, I’ve rounded up the best PSUs for the RTX 5080 after several hours of in-house testing.

The Corsair iCUE Link RX120 Max RGB fans offer a premium cooling solution with a thicker 30mm design for better airflow and high static pressure, making them ideal for radiators. They feature magnetic dome bearings, reinforced blades, and a sleek RGB aesthetic, all controlled through the iCUE Link system. While they deliver solid performance and an easy installation process with Quick Turn Screws, they come at a high price and require full software integration, limiting manual control.

The Zotac GeForce RTX 5080 AMP Extreme Infinity is a premium variant of the card, costing $250 more than the Founder's Edition. For that, it offers a flashy, premium design, better cooling, and marginally better performance than Nvidia's own model. However, the performance uplift isn't worth the $250 extra, and overall, the generational improvement over the previous generation isn't good enough.

The Biwin Black Opal DW100 RGB DDR5 kit is a high-speed memory with 8000MHz speed and tight CAS36 timings. It looks great with bright RGB lighting and a clean white design. It supports both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO, making it easy to set up for high performance. Overclocking is solid, but its tall size might not fit in every build. In short, the kit is not cheap, but if you want excellent performance with incredible OC potential and looks, it is a great choice.

TDP, power efficiency, and real-world performance; we’ve covered all of our tracks and reviewed the 5 Best PSUs for your RTX 5090.

The Biwin Black Opal NV7400 2TB NVMe SSD offers impressive speeds of up to 7400MB/s read and 6500MB/s write, making it a solid choice for high-performance storage. The SSD is PS5-compatible, includes a graphene thermal pad for heat management and comes with a five-year warranty. While it performs well in most tests, it lags slightly behind some competitors in real-world scenarios, especially under heavy loads. Overall, it’s a fast, affordable option with a few trade-offs.

The Netac NV7000-Q 2TB NVMe SSD delivers solid performance with its MaxioTech MAP1602A controller and YMTC 3D QLC NAND, making it a DRAM-less, cost-effective option for users after fast PCIe Gen 4 speeds. It offers sequential read speeds up to 7000MB/s and write speeds up to 6400MB/s, making it suitable for PlayStation 5 and even general use.

The ASRock Steel Legend SL1000GW is a reliable power supply with good efficiency and enough power for high-end GPUs. It meets the latest ATX 3.1 standard and comes with a 10-year warranty, which shows ASRock’s trust in its durability. Performance-wise, it does well in efficiency, though its voltage regulation and ripple control are decent but not top-tier. Overall, if you want a solid, future-proof PSU from a well-known brand, this one is worth considering.

The G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo 64GB 6000MHz CL26 is G.Skill's latest 64GB addition to its "Royal Neo" series. The kit follows the same design pattern we saw in the other kits, featuring a mirror-finished silver or gold heat spreader with a beautiful crystalline light bar on top. The kit has an ultra-low latency of only 8.66ns and beats most RAM kits by only enabling its default EXPO settings.

The ASRock Z890 Pro-A is an entry-level motherboard that comes in at a highly competitive price of $189.99 USD. At this price, the motherboard does drop the support for WiFi and Bluetooth, though the slot is available to separately install a module of your own. Other than this minor inconvenience, the board offers pretty much everything, from decent performance to a good selection of I/O with a budget-friendly price tag.
