Take a look at this BeQuiet Light Base 900! Huge amount of cooling potential allied to great looks. And not just because it’s orange and your writer loves orange. Nope. It’s a gorgeous thing and available in four models. Lush.
It’s also worth giving a shout-out to the MSI 271QRX QD-OLED for being a fantastic monitor for the price. Getting the chance to see such rich colours and deep blacks makes the whole, tedious, process of benchmarking endless hardware that much more pleasant. It’s like a Swedish Massage for your eyeballs.
Clock Speeds and Voltages
The Ryzen 9 9900X is a fantastic 12 core AMD processor and the perfect one to use in our testing. It’s powerful enough to demand a lot of each motherboard. However, when we reach the eventual B chipset models it should still run well whilst emphasising any differences. Obviously the Hero has no problems running it smoothly.
