AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D 4.5 GHz β€œ3D V-Cache” CPU Review: The Budget X3D Champ For AM5

16 July 2026 at 13:00

A close-up of an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D processor on an orange surface.

AMD's AM5 platform has been a solid entry, featuring some of the best chips on the market and a wide variety of entry-level and high-end options to select from. Despite the AM5 launch, AMD was still focusing on releasing the more mainstream and budget-tier solutions for the older AM4 socket, which still holds the majority share, but the company has recently started to launch affordable CPU options in its AM5 segment. The Ryzen 5 7600X was one such example. But with recent component price hikes, it has become even more vital to support older lineups. The commitment to AM4 remains […]

RadeonTuner leak points to AMD FSR multi-frame generation with up to 8x multiplier

13 July 2026 at 13:30

AMD seems to be testing its upcoming FSR multi-frame generation (MFG) technology within its Radeon drivers. Discoveries in the third-party software RadeonTuner show that the company has added placeholders for the feature, offering options ranging from 1x to 8x frame generation.

RadeonTuner allows users to modify Radeon driver settings without using the standard AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition application. According to the utility's developer, AMD frequently implements placeholders well ahead of a feature's official launch. The multi-frame generation within AMD's ecosystem was the latest one to be found.

Image credit: Chiphell

A Chiphell user (via Wccftech) attempted to force the technology on using a Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card but found it entirely non-functional. AMD has not yet shipped the underlying model required to make the frame generation operational. This upcoming technology puts AMD against competitors like Nvidia, which offers DLSS Dynamic MFG with up to 6x generation, and Intel, which provides 4x XeSS MFG through its XeSS 3 release.

Other options available in the RadeonTuner tool include overrides for FSR Ray Regeneration and FSR Neural Radiance Caching. These are already available, but they require native support to be enabled. However, according to this third-party tool, AMD appears to be working on a manual override to extend these benefits to more games.

KitGuru says: Are you a fan of multi-frame generation? What MFG multiplier do you usually choose?Β

Minisforum Revives DDR4 In Its New NAB9S Mini PC, Powered By Intel Core i9 13900HX

6 July 2026 at 15:03

A Minisforum mini PC in a silver case with USB ports and a power button on the front, placed on a desk next to a black dish and a potted plant.

Vendors now seem to be prioritizing DDR4 platforms, which is obvious since DDR5-based systems have become unaffordable. Minisforum Launches Elite Mini NAB9S, Featuring Intel Core i9 13900HX, SO-DIMM DDR4 Memory, and Support for SATA Driver at $399 for Barebones Despite being nearly 12 years old, DDR4 isn't going anywhere. It took a lot of time for the market to transition from DDR4 to DDR5 properly, but right when DDR5 became the norm, the RAMpocalypse hit the market like a truck. Since DDR5 memories have become 4-5X more expensive than July 2025 levels, it's understandable that vendors might be struggling with […]

Endorfy Fishtank 6000 Corona Case Review

6 July 2026 at 11:44

Endorfy showed us their prototype Fishtank 6000 case at Computex 2025 and asked whether we had any suggestions for a name for their new case. We had a good look, studied the glass at the front and side, admired the ARGB lighting and suggested they stuck with the development name of β€˜Fishtank’. That’s the story, love it or hate it, KitGuru is responsible for the name…

Timestamps
00:00 Intro
00:51 Pricing and key info
01:21 Pulling off the panels…
02:26 Mobo tray area
03:29 Test system hardware
04:04 PSU installation and an issue…
04:52 Time for the AIO + GPU
05:52 Smoke tests
06:35 Testing: thermals and noise
08:21 Leo’s closing thoughts
10:02 Pros and cons

Main features

  • Tower form factor with dual glass panel design
  • Tempered glass
  • Up to 4 PWM ARGB fans included
  • Good air and water cooling compatibility
  • Built-in PWM splitter and ARGB controller
  • USB Type-C connector
  • Support for vertical GPU mounts
  • Removable side AIO/fan mounting bracket

Specification:

  • Motherboard support: E-ATX (up to 280mm), ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX.
  • Power supply support: ATX.
  • Expansion slots: 7.
  • Included fans: 3x 120mm Endorfy Corona Reverse side intake, 1x 120mm Endorfy Corona rear exhaust.
  • Fan mounts: 3x 120mm/140mm side, 3x 120mm/140mm roof, 2x 120mm PSU shroud, 1x 120mm/140mm rear.
  • Radiator mounts: 280mm/360mm side, 360mm roof, 120mm rear.
  • 5.25-inch optical drive bays: None.
  • Internal drive bays: 1x 3.5-inch/2.5-inch, 1x 2.5-inch, 1x 3.5-inch.
  • Front I/O ports: 2x USB 3.0 type-A, 1x USB 3.1 type-C, audio.
  • Dimensions: 487mm H x 473mm D x 240mm W.

Testing

To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, Palit RTX 5080 and an SSD. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the Endorfy Fishtank 6000 Coronaβ€˜s cooling capabilities.

Test System:

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
  • CPU Cooler: SilverStone IceMyst 360
  • Motherboard: MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Max WiFi PZ
  • Memory: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000
  • Graphics card: Palit GeForce RTX 5080 GameRock 16GB
  • Power supply: Thermaltake ToughPower GT 1200W Gold
  • SSD: Crucial T700 Pro M.2 NVMe
  • OS: Windows 11

Cooling Performance

Cooling Performance Overview

We tested in high ambient temperatures which stressed the Endorfy Fishtank 6000 Corona rather harshly. Even so we were disappointed how high we had to crank the fans to keep our Ryzen 7 CPU cool as we were dealing with a PC that was both hot and noisy. As we show in our video the airflow doesn't work very well and we are confident Endorfy could have achieved better results if they had tweaked the design.

Closing Thoughts

The main components of the Endorfy Fishtank 6000 Corona are absolutely fine. You can easily build a full-sized gaming PC in this case without any need for fiddling around or fighting cables around nasty corners.

It is also worth noting that Endorfy includes four 120mm Corona case fans that look very pleasant and which minimise your need to buy extra hardware.

The downside of the Fishtank 6000 is that the market is awash with similar PC cases with glass on two sides and ARGB fans in the side position. This means you need a very good reason to choose this particular case over the competition, and Endorfy hasn't delivered on that crucial point.

You can buy the Endorfy Fishtank 6000 Corona for Β£140 HERE.

Pros:

  • Plenty of room inside the case to build your PC.
  • Included ARGB fans give a decent light show.
  • Tidy styling and a smart appearance.

Cons:

  • Air flow and cooling seem to be hurt by the power supply housing.
  • Top fan rack is not removable.
  • We were unable to connect the front panel audio to our MSI Project Zero motherboard.
  • UK price is rather high.

KitGuru says: The Endorfy Fishtank 6000 Corona does a reasonable job but is nothing special.

Intel Raptor Lake CPU

Intel will reportedly focus more on the previous-gen processors to fulfill the current demand in the PC market. Intel is Reportedly Restarting Supply of Last Four Generation of Processors as Motherboard Vendors Ramp Up DDR4 Platform Production Roughly a month ago, we reported that some vendors are now restarting the production of DDR4 platforms, i.e., DDR4-compatible motherboards. This is to ensure the market gets DDR4 motherboards in sufficient quantity, as expensive DDR5 memory has made it unfeasible to build DDR5 systems on a budget. More reports are surfacing confirming the same report, and Intel appears to have prepared accordingly. As […]
