When you consider how PC hardware prices (especially where DDR5 memory is concerned) have skyrocketed, extending the lifespan of a socket such as AM4, which utilises slightly cheaper DDR4 memory, could make some sense after all.
The B550 X EAGLE WIFI6E is essentially an AM4 motherboard with a modernised feature set to bring it up to par with the entry-level motherboard offerings of today - we're talking 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, WIFI 6E connectivity, front and rear USB Type-C ports, among other quality-of-life improvements. Check out the ALKtech channel for the full video overview of this motherboard!

Given that DDR4 memory prices have increased at a slower pace as compared to the eye-watering price increases we’ve seen with DDR5 memory, one can understand why brands like Gigabyte might want to release new motherboards on older platforms, especially AM4, so as to try and capture the value-oriented customer demographic. Enter the B550 X EAGLE WIFI6E, which is basically an AM4 motherboard that's been updated to have the baseline modern features that one would come to expect of an entry-level AMD AM5 or Intel LGA1851 motherboard. We’re talking 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controller, WIFI6E support, front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C support, as well as some quality-of-life features such as M.2 EZ-Latch Click.

Fast forward to today, and ASUS has introduced its successor, the ROG NUC 16.
Sporting a similar aesthetic to its predecessor, the range-topping ROG NUC 16 variant comes with Intel's "Arrow Lake Refresh" Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile GPU, alongside 32GB of DDR5 6400 memory and a 2TB NVMe SSD.

Close to a year has passed since the ROG NUC (2025)'s launch, and today, we've got the new ASUS ROG NUC 16, which is the ROG NUC (2025)'s successor.
Powered by the new flagship "Arrow Lake Refresh" Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus mobile processor (basically a 275HX with higher clock speeds), the flagship variant of the ROG NUC 16 packs the same RTX 5080 mobile GPU as its predecessor, and a very similar aesthetic to boot - you'd be forgiven for mistaking the ROG NUC 16 for the ROG NUC (2025)!
For this review in particular, we'll be looking at the NUC16JNK model that's equipped with Intel's flagship Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus mobile processor, 32GB of DDR5 6400 CSODIMM memory, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile GPU and a 2TB NVMe SSD.

#computex #computex2026 #msigaming #msi #gamingpc #pcbuildThe AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is finally available for the global market!ALKtech2026-06-05 | On 1 June 2026, AMD launched its Radeon RX 9070 GRE GPU for the global market - for those of you who are unaware, the RX 9070 GRE was first seen in April/May last year, where it was a China-exclusive GPU offering. Amidst a dearth of new global GPU launches this year, in part caused by the AI datacenter boom that has robbed supply of VRAM for new graphics cards, AMD's finally decided to release the 9070 GRE for the international market.
Built on the RDNA 4 architecture, the RX 9070 GRE utilises the "Navi 48 XL" GPU, with 3072 stream processors and a boost clock of 2.79 GHz, slotting it between AMD's mainstream RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU and the higher-end RX 9070 (non-XT) GPU, where it comes with 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
To get in on the launch excitement, ALKtech had the opportunity to test the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 GRE Triple Fan. Featuring a stealthy-looking triple-fan cooler design with no RGB lighting, the Swift is XFX's mainstream-oriented product line-up that gets the job done without any fuss.

Close to a year later, AMD's finally made the decision to do a global launch for the RX 9070 GRE, amidst a dearth of new global GPU launches caused partially by the AI datacenter boom, which has robbed supply of VRAM for new graphics cards.
Built on the RDNA 4 architecture, the RX 9070 GRE utilises the "Navi 48 XL" GPU, with 3072 stream processors and a boost clock of 2.79 GHz, slotting it between AMD's mainstream RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU and the higher-end RX 9070 (non-XT) GPU. Paired with 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM, AMD's marketing spiel positions the RX 9070 GRE against NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB with a MSRP of US$549 (for context, the 5060 Ti 16GB had a launch MSRP of US$429, but we're instead seeing actual market prices of around US$569 due to several inflationary factors).
For this review, ALKtech unboxes and tests a RX 9070 GRE graphics card by XFX - the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 GRE Triple Fan Gaming Edition (RX-97GRE2 V1.0). Featuring a triple-fan cooler design, the Swift is XFX's value-oriented product in its line-up of graphics cards, where the card doesn't come with any RGB bling and simply gets the job done without any fuss. Watch on to see how this card performs with a small selection of gaming benchmark tests at the 1440p resolution, when paired with AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D gaming processor - we've also got a chart to show how it stacks up against the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB at both 1440p and 1080p as well!

#custompc #diypcbuild #motherboard #cpu #gaming #pcbuild #gamingpcbuild #pcmr #pcbuild #pcsetup #tech #techtokThis GPU support stand comes with a built-in LCD display! Zalman ZM-VS3 DS ReviewALKtech2026-04-06 | GPU support stands have come to be essential accessories for PC builds that utilise mid-to-high-end graphics cards, given how hefty and large such graphics cards have gotten over the years. It's unsurprising then, that GPU support stand/bracket manufacturers would eventually take liberties to spice up what would otherwise be a boring piece of kit, which explains why GPU support stands with ARGB LED accents and even LCD display screen would eventually be introduced to the DIY PC market, targeted at folks looking to jazz up the appearance of their PC builds.
While such GPU support stands with built-in LCD screens have been available on the market for some time now, such products tend to be no-name OEM offerings, which is why the Zalman ZM-VS3 DS is a breath of fresh air, in that it's one of the few GPU support stands that come with a built-in LCD display screen from a branded PC component manufacturer. Available in black or white, watch on to learn more about the Zalman ZM-VS3 DS, and to see it as part of a demo PC build!

Over in the MSI camp, the brand's "MAX" series of AM5 motherboard offerings are one such example of an AM5 motherboard line-up refresh, with the MAG B850M MORTAR MAX WIFI being a mainstream mATX AM5 motherboard offering that's targeted at mid-to-high-end AMD PC builds.
As the successor to the MAG B850M MORTAR WIFI, the MORTAR MAX WIFI represents a small evolution over its predecessor, with a better VRM setup, support for a whopping four M.2 drives with no PCIe lane sharing and a 64MB BIOS ROM, amongst other improvements.
