With the Z87M Extreme4 ASRock has a rather interesting mATX board for Intel's socket LGA1150 CPU in its portfolio. Next to a competitive price tag, this board features a reasonable feature mix and the quality of the components used appears to be above average too. Overall this sound like an offer worth having a look at, doesn't it?

Prodigy - The holy grail of moddingThe week has just started and already we're posting yet another BitFenix Prodigy build. It seems that this particular mini ITX case is highly appreciated by modders all over the world. Today's Prodigy received quite a treatment and it's almost obvious, that there is a custom liquid cooling system chilling the components

From CCC.333If you love modding, you might have already seen some of Corsaroneo333's creations, such as "The green water of class" or "Microcool 101 Rev. 3." Today we're going to show you another one of his builds, which is called "The privilege" and it's based on a Cooler Master Cosmos II case.
There was quite some awesomenessHere is a summary of what you missed this week! We have received many configurations via email, we thank all our fans and next week we will continue uploading new photos. Stay tuned! If you wanna join, send to us a message at our official page: facebook
In our series of CPU Gaming Performance articles, we're today having a closer look at two mid-range Intel CPUs. We ran a set of benchmarks as well as even more games on a Core i5-4670K as well as on a Core i5-2500K. In the end we wanted to find out how big the difference between a Haswell quad core and a Sandy Bridge quad core part is. We also overclocked both CPUs to 4.5 GHz and in this regard it was really interesting to see by what margin power consumption went up with both these CPUs.
LC SystemBrowsing the web, we came across this spectacular rig and we think that you should see it! This week we have not yet shared a SFF configuration, which we're going to change right now, with this spectacular build.
Meanwhile we've also put together a price watch for hard drives. In this case we're monitoring prices of no less than 49 hard drives. Over time we will be able to provide graphs to show you price development.
Neon and LEDsThe configuration of today is quite colorful as well as rather interesting! For his setup Adam uses an Intel LGA 2011 setup, a GTX 680 4GB graphics card and a generously sized liquid cooling system.
Today we've had a closer look at Samsung's 120 Gigabyte version of their 840 Evo line-up. One point in which we're particularly interested is if there is a performance increase compared to the predecessor. Apparently we also want to know what this drive can do when compared to the competition.
Meanwhile we've overworked our SSD Charts and we're now launching a new version of it. In the comparison tables you'll find the results of 45 different models. Compared to the old SSD charts we've made the new version more compact, that it's easier to get an overview. Therefore we're focussing on sequential rates as well as IOPS and we got rid of a lot of other block sizes inbetween. Additionally there is a price watch included.

Clean and neat setupIf you like and you are a fan of clean rigs, you will enjoy this simple but clean configuration. It is not the first of Sebastjans setups, previously we shared a couple of his builds. If you missed them, you can find it at the following links: NZXT Tempest EVO - Glossy
Compact form factors are omnipresent these days and virtually every motherboard manufacturer is trying to cover each and every niche as soon as possible. The largest motherboard manufacturer of them all is also the fastest adopting (most of the time) and meanwhile ASUS also offers an mATX motherobard within their TUF series. The Gryphon Z87 appears to be an interesting board, since it offers quite a few features as well as an attractive price point, which is enough reason for us to have a closer look.

Black and whiteWho said that you need an expensive case to build an awesome rig? Jesse sent us pictures of his Cooler Master Silencio 650 modified and with a black and white color scheme.
Today we've had a close look at yet another R9 270X graphics card, which this time comes from MSI. With their HAWK you get a factory overclocked card, which is based on a heavily customized design. Additionally there is MSI's Twin Frozr IV Advanced cooler, which has proven to be powerful in quite a few reviews we've published earlier.

Red and LEDsAfter a week of extreme cooling, back to the "normal" configurations. We start the week with the configuration of Merluz, which uses a full-tower case from Cooler Master, a liquid cooling system and high quality components.
