MSI wraps its newest mid-tower case in tinted tempered glass

This case will highlight (or expose) your cable management skills   As reported by PCGamer, MSI is rolling out a new Mag Pylon mid-tower case that it's positioning under its "Gaming Gear" umbrella of products. It has three tinted tempered glass panels—both sides and the front—to show off your build, and supports the company's Mystic Light Sync feature to synchronize lighting across other MSI products. The case comes with three 120mm RGB fans aligned in the front. You could swap them out for a pair of larger 140mm fans if you wanted to, and there is also room to install up to two 140mm or 120mm fans (or a liquid radiator and fans) in the top and a 120mm in rear. Cable management is a bit more important in a see-through case like this, unless you're a honey badger and just don't care what your build looks like. Assuming you do, you'll find four large cable cutouts to the right of the motherboard tray. There are also several cable tie downs on the back of th

MSI B360M Mortar Review

MSI B360M Mortar - Small in Size, Big in Performance Last Year in 2017 Intel dropped their latest consumer grade CPU lineup by the name of Coffee Lake which happened to be their first ever six core processors for the consumer lineup which was earlier restricted to only four cores. Being an answer to the AMD Ryzen CPUs which are processing juggernauts in their own rights the Coffee Lake CPUs suffered from one major flaw, they only support the newer chipset motherboards with no backward compatibility to the last generation LGA1151 motherboards restricting users to the then and now expensive Z370 PCH motherboards making Coffee Lake sensible for those who wish to buy the upper segment K series processors. Now since the AMD Ryzen G series APUs are out Intel wisely released two new chipsets for their current Coffee Lake lineup namely as the B360 and H370 giving the budget CPUs of the lineup a new lease on life! While the difference between the H370 and B360 chipset is nominal the with just a

Cooler Master’s latest all-in-one liquid coolers crank up the light show

These are the first coolers from Cooler Master to have addressable RGB LEDs. RGB lighting is practically everywhere these days, but until now, you couldn't purchase a liquid cooler from Cooler Master that had individually addressable RGB LEDs. That changes with the introduction of the MasterLiquid ML240R RGB and ML120R RGB , both of which are all-in-one liquid coolers. Both coolers have a newly designed pump with 12 addressable RGB LEDs on the water block and eight more on each fan. Cooler Master intends to release a new software utility called MasterPlus+ that will give users complete control over the lighting. Alternatively, the LEDs are compatible with addressable software offered for select ASRock, Asus, and MSI motherboards. Cooler Master said it designed both coolers in-house, meaning these aren't rebranded coolers. Part of that custom design includes a low profile dual chamber pump that separates incoming coolant from the radiator-bound coolant. "Cooler Master’s un
