The Netac NV7000-T is a fast PCIe Gen 4 SSD that performs well in daily tasks and file transfers, thanks to its Maxio controller and Host Memory Buffer setup. While it stays cool under stress and offers good value for older system upgrades or PS5 use, it falls short in some benchmarks and game load times, likely due to firmware tuning.

The Thermal Grizzly PhaseSheet PTM is a solid alternative to traditional thermal paste, especially for high-performance GPUs that suffer from rising temperatures over time. It uses a smart material that turns into liquid when hot to better fill tiny gaps, improving heat transfer and durability. While applying it takes more effort and care compared to paste, the performance results speak for themselves: better thermals, longer life, and less maintenance over time. If you're running powerful gear and don’t mind the higher price or extra prep, this is a smart upgrade.

Polartherm's X8 and X10 offer great performance at affordable prices. While the X8 is ideal for budget builds, the X10 stands out for mid-to-high-end setups, even outperforming some premium pastes. Both pastes come with easy-to-use packaging and tools, making them a solid choice for gamers.

The Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 fans are a thoughtful upgrade to an already great fan line, combining better performance, quieter operation, and exceptional build quality. Whether you need strong airflow for radiators or a super quiet setup, there's a version that fits. These fans are expensive, but if you're after top-tier cooling with minimal noise, they’re a solid choice.

ID-Cooling’s AF-127-ARGB fans deliver impressive airflow, refined ring-style RGB lighting, and a robust 27 mm frame, all at a cost-effective price for a three-pack; installation uses standard daisy-chain cabling, and apart from a couple of extra leads to manage, the fans maintain low temperatures while adding a polished look with minimal effort.

The XPG Hurricane Mag 120 ARGB fans are easy to set up and work really well. They have a smart design where you can change the airflow direction with one click, so you don’t need to flip the fans around. The fans connect with magnets and use just one cable, so not only the installation is simple but the build also looks neat. In terms of performance, they deliver strong airflow and do a good job cooling, especially when used on radiators. Overall, these Hurricane Mag fans are a solid choice for both new and experienced PC builders.

The ORICO IG740 Pro 2TB SSD is a fast and affordable Gen4 NVMe drive that delivers solid performance in gaming and everyday tasks, even beating some more expensive options like the Corsair MP600 Elite in certain tests.

The Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 is a premium RAM kit that delivers high-end performance out of the box with EXPO/XMP support. It combines high speed with large capacity, so it is recommended for both gamers and professionals working on demanding tasks.

The Corsair MP600 Elite 2TB is a fast PCIe Gen4 SSD that’s great for upgrading from older drives, offering strong speeds and solid gaming performance. It doesn’t have DRAM, so it leans on your system RAM, and it can run hot without a heatsink—which isn’t included. Still, it’s a reliable and speedy option with good endurance and a 5-year warranty.

I tuned and benchmarked a relatively affordable DDR5 kit to see how much performance gains we can achieve.

ID-Cooling Frozn A620 Pro SE ARGB is an outstanding cooler for the value, with the six direct-contact nickel-plated copper-heat pipes, and the ARGB fans give an additional touch in aesthetics; the fans are quiet even at the maximum RPM. It's almost coming at the liquid-coolers category, as it closed the gap with Deepcool Mystique when the power was unlocked. The cooler is well-suited for stealthy builds.

After testing the full lineup, TF7 stands out as the best value—affordable, easy to apply, and reliable for mid-range systems. TF4 is also a solid pick for budget builds. On the higher end, TF8-EX and TFX deliver strong performance but fall short in durability and user-friendliness, especially with their thick, hard-to-apply texture. TF9, unfortunately, underwhelms across the board. Overall, Thermalright’s thermal paste lineup is a bit hit or miss, but TF7 hits the sweet spot for most users
