APNX V2 PC Case Review @ TechPowerUp
Published: Wednesday, November 26, 2025 | By: EddieTechPowerUp presents the APNX V2 as an airflow oriented mid tower that targets the sweet spot between budget and premium. It uses a mesh front and a ventilated top, paired with multiple pre installed PWM fans and a tempered glass side panel so the case can both breathe well and show off internal hardware. Inside, there is generous clearance for long graphics cards, tall tower coolers, and modern radiators, along with a power supply shroud, drive brackets, and a sensible cable management layout behind the motherboard tray. The build experience is described as straightforward, with tool less panels and plenty of cutouts and tie down points, so even less experienced builders can route cables cleanly and get a neat final result.
The V2 is the first case from the brand that really feels like APNX is coming into its own in terms of design and functionality. Equipped with three glass panes and sporting four 140 mm fans and a controller, it already checks off most boxes. But the unique interior layout is the star of the show. All this at a price point that seems too good to pass up.
On the bench, the APNX V2 generally performs like an airflow case should, with component temperatures kept comfortably in check under gaming and synthetic loads, while fan noise is held at a reasonable level thanks to the included PWM fans and open front. TechPowerUp notes that the chassis materials and fit are solid for its price class, and the overall aesthetic is understated enough to fit both RGB heavy and more restrained builds. There may be a few smaller nitpicks such as limited space behind the motherboard tray if every cable is fully populated, or the need to plan radiator and fan placement carefully in very high end builds, but the overall verdict is positive: APNX V2 is a well executed, airflow focused ATX case that offers good thermals, an easy building experience, and modern looks at an accessible price. -
Zyphra Demonstrates First Large Scale Training on Integrated AMD Compute and Networking Powered by IBM Cloud
Published: Tuesday, November 25, 2025 | By: EddieJoint collaboration between Zyphra, AMD, and IBM delivers ZAYA1, the first large-scale Mixture-of-Experts foundation model trained entirely on an AMD platform using AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs, AMD Pollara networking & ROCm software.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zyphra today announced a major milestone in its AI infrastructure and model development with the release of a technical report showing how Zyphra has demonstrated large scale training on AMD GPUs and networking.
The paper introduces ZAYA1, the first large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) foundation model trained entirely on an integrated AMD platform (AMD Instinct™ GPUs, AMD Pensando™ networking interconnect & ROCm software stack) as a viable high-performance, production-ready alternative platform for frontier-scale AI training.
Despite operating at a fraction of the active parameter count, ZAYA1-base (8.3B total parameters, 760m active) achieves performance comparable to leading models such as Qwen3-4B (Alibaba) and Gemma3-12B (Google), and outperforms models including Llama-3-8B (Meta) and OLMoE across reasoning, mathematics, and coding benchmarks.
"Efficiency has always been a core guiding principle at Zyphra. It shapes how we design model architectures, develop algorithms for training and inference, and choose the hardware with the best price-performance to deliver frontier intelligence to our customers," said Krithik Puthalath, CEO of Zyphra. "ZAYA1 reflects this philosophy and we are thrilled to be the first company to demonstrate large-scale training on an AMD platform. Our results highlight the power of co-designing model architectures with silicon and systems, and we're excited to deepen our collaboration with AMD and IBM as we build the next generation of advanced multimodal foundation models."
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become the foundational architecture for modern, frontier AI systems, using specialized expert networks that activate dynamically to deliver greater efficiency, scalability, and reasoning performance than traditional dense architectures. This paradigm shift defines today's leading frontier models including GPT-5, Claude-4.5 DeepSeek-V3 and Kimi2 all of which leverage MoE designs to expand capability while optimizing compute utilization. ZAYA1 represents the first large-scale pretraining of an MoE model on an AMD platform, demonstrating that the AMD AI ecosystem is ready to power frontier-class AI development end-to-end.
Zyphra co-designed ZAYA1 around AMD silicon, introducing innovations such as an advanced routing architecture, Compressed Convolutional Attention (CCA), and lightweight residual scaling to achieve higher training throughput and more efficient inference through improved expert utilization.
"Zyphra's work with AMD and IBM demonstrates how an open platform built on AMD Instinct GPUs and AMD Pensando networking can deliver breakthrough performance and efficiency for large-scale AI," said Philip Guido, EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, AMD. "This milestone underscores how innovative AMD hardware and software solutions are enabling the next wave of frontier AI development with industry leaders."
Building on prior collaborative work and to achieve this milestone, Zyphra collaborated closely with AMD and IBM to design and deploy a large-scale training cluster powered by AMD Instinct GPUs with AMD Pensando networking (ethernet) interconnect. The jointly engineered AMD and IBM cluster announced earlier this quarter, combines AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs with IBM Cloud's high-performance fabric and storage architecture providing the foundation for ZAYA1's large-scale pretraining.
"As AI creates opportunities for enterprises to innovate, foundation models are key to unlocking accelerated development, efficiency and productivity," said Alan Peacock, GM of IBM Cloud. "We are proud to deliver IBM's scalable AI infrastructure as the foundation for ZAYA1's large-scale model and are excited to continue collaborating with AMD on AI model development across our mutual clients."
The joint collaboration demonstrates how Zyphra's advanced AI research and optimized software stack, combined with the AMD platform powered by IBM's infrastructure through IBM Cloud can deliver the performance needed for reliable frontier-scale AI model development.

Thermaltake View 390 Air Mid Tower Chassis and 6.0'' LCD Screen Review @ Funky Kit
Published: Monday, November 24, 2025 | By: EddieFunky Kit positions the Thermaltake View 390 Air as a mid tower chassis that actually feels like it was designed by a real system builder, with airflow and usability as the main focus. It uses a 4 mm curved tempered glass side panel for a distinctive showcase look, paired with a full mesh front and three pre installed 140 mm fans that move a lot of air, so most users will not need to swap fans immediately or worry about thermal throttling. Inside, there is generous space for large GPUs and even E ATX boards, support for vertical GPU mounting, a built in GPU support bracket, and neat cable management with multiple routing channels and Velcro straps. The tool free tempered glass side panel that swings open like a door is highlighted as a very practical touch for quick upgrades and tweaks.
" ... Looking to upgrade your case? The Thermaltake View 390 Air and its optional 6.0'' LCD Screen Kit combine smart design with real personality, giving builders a case that’s both functional and fun to work with. If you want a PC setup that runs cool, looks sharp, and feels uniquely yours, this combo delivers. "
The optional 6.0 inch LCD screen integrates cleanly into the chassis and can show system stats or custom images, giving the build a more premium, custom look, although it is an extra purchase on top of the case itself. Overall scoring is very strong, with 9 for features, 9 for build quality, 10 for aesthetics, 9 for compatibility and 8 for installation, averaging out to 9.0 out of 10, and the reviewer explicitly notes no meaningful drawbacks. With street prices around 150 to 165 US dollars for the case and roughly 100 US dollars for the LCD kit, Funky Kit sees the View 390 Air as an excellent balance of strong airflow, clean modern aesthetics and builder friendly details that make it a very easy case to recommend. -
MSI MPG CORELIQUID P13 Liquid CPU Cooler Review @ ThinkComputers
Published: Sunday, November 23, 2025 | By: EddieThinkComputers sees the MSI MPG CORELIQUID P13 as a very slick-looking 360 mm AIO, especially in the white version, with three 120 mm CycloBlade 9 ARGB fans, a 27.2 mm-thick 360 mm radiator (20 FPI), and a standout 2.1″ 480×480 circular LCD on the pump. Installation is described as straightforward thanks to universal AMD/Intel mounting hardware, pre-installed fans in push, very flexible EPDM tubing, a magnetic pump cover that hides the mounting hardware, and MSI’s “Streamline” cable routing and fan daisy-chaining that keeps the build visually clean. There is also a JAF combo header option for power/RGB if the motherboard supports it, although MSI has moved to a QR-code digital-only manual.
"When you hear the name MSI, you probably first think about motherboards and graphics cards, maybe laptops and monitors, but you may not heavily relate the MSI brand to CPU coolers. If that is the case for you, then let's just get it out of the way – MSI does offer CPU coolers, and in fact, you can build a PC with all MSI products, other than the CPU and RAM. And in this review we are taking a look at one of MSI's latest coolers, the MPG CORELIQUID P13, a 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler. The P13 is loaded up with ARGB fans, an LCD-equipped pump housing, and more, so let's jump right into this review!"
On the test bench with a Ryzen 7 7600X, the P13 ends up on the warm side of the comparison charts at both idle and load, even at higher fan speeds. The reviewer attributes this to the compromise CycloBlade fan design, which tries to balance airflow and static pressure, resulting in a cooler that is pleasantly quiet but not especially strong at pushing air through the dense radiator. The LCD is flexible in theory, with hardware monitoring, video, system clock, and extended display modes, but MSI Center is called out as a real weak point: no simple way to push custom images, limited sensor support, very similar LCD themes, and an annoying requirement to fully launch the app before the screen even turns on. Overall the verdict is mixed: great aesthetics, a neat LCD and cable management, but lackluster thermals and clunky software for around $189.99, earning a 7/10 and recommended mainly for MSI-focused builds where matching looks and quiet operation matter more than raw cooling performance. -
Best Starter 3D Printers on Amazon
Published: Saturday, November 22, 2025 | By: EddieEntry-level 3D printing has grown up. In the sub-$400 range, you can now get auto bed leveling, faster motion systems, quieter electronics, PEI build plates, and slicer profiles that produce clean first layers without spending a weekend chasing offsets. That means beginners can unbox, load PLA, and hit Print in a manner of minutes with a much higher success rate, while hobbyists can push speeds and materials without rebuilding the entire machine.
For this guide, we focused on four budget FDM models that are currently available on Amazon US, each from a different brand. The selection criteria are simple and practical: dependable auto leveling, a rigid motion system that stays square, sensible default profiles, straightforward maintenance, with build surfaces that releases parts without drama.
The same maintenance rules apply, If you pair any of these printers with quality PLA or PETG, keep the plate clean, and resist the urge to max out speeds on day one and you will go from idea to finished part quickly and consistently.
Hardware Asylum’s 4 best budget picks1. Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Brief introduction: An enclosed, desk-friendly CoreXY that is unusually quiet and tidy for apartments and shared spaces. One-click auto leveling and quick-swap nozzles make it beginner-friendly without killing growth potential.
Key specs:- Kinematics: CoreXY chassis for stable high-speed moves
- Auto leveling: One-click, fully automatic routine
- Hotend: Quick-release nozzle up to high temps for common filaments
- Build plate: Dual-sided PEI flexible sheet
- Use case: Functional prints, small cosplay parts, living room setups
Why this pick: If you want the least tinkering and a clean footprint, the AD5M Pro is the easiest machine here to live with day to day. The enclosure helps with noise and airflow, and the guided setup shortens the time to a successful first print.
2. Creality Ender-3 V3 SE
Brief introduction: The modernized Ender that fixes first-layer roulette. CR-Touch leveling, strain-based Z offset, a PEI-style plate, and up to 250 mm/s rated speed make this a friendly first printer or a reliable second machine.
Key specs:- Leveling: CR-Touch probe with assisted Z offset
- Extruder path: Sprite-style direct path for better retraction and flex printing
- Build volume: 220 × 220 × 250 mm class
- Plate: Spring-steel PEI style for easy part release
Why this pick: If you want the most community guides and spare parts with a very low barrier to entry, the V3 SE is a safe default. It nails first layers and everyday PLA or PETG without heavy tuning.
3. Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 Combo
Brief introduction: A speed-forward budget printer that still produces clean surfaces when profiles are dialed. The high-flow hotend, stronger part cooling, and fast motion make quick work of PLA, with app checks for convenience.
Key specs:- Speed class: Up to 600 mm/s advertised with high acceleration
- Leveling: Assisted routine with mesh compensation
- Extruder: High-flow direct drive
- Plate: Textured flexible sheet
Why this pick: Choose Kobra 3 V2 Combo if you want short print times and you are willing to adopt proven profiles. It is a solid platform for fast iteration on brackets, organizers, and cosplay accessories.
4. ELEGOO Neptune 4 Plus
Brief introduction: Klipper firmware out of the box with input shaping brings high-end motion control to a budget price. Dual-gear direct drive and aggressive cooling help with first-layer consistency and sharper overhangs.
Key specs:- Firmware: Klipper with input shaping and higher default accelerations
- Speed class: Up to 500 mm/s advertised
- Leveling: Dense mesh probing with assisted tramming
- Plate: PEI-coated spring steel
Why this pick: If you want modern motion control and a larger platform that will not feel cramped in six months, Neptune 4 Plus offers a strong blend of speed headroom and ease of use.
Quick buying tips
- First layer matters most. Run the first layer slow, clean the bed with isopropyl alcohol, and add a skirt or brim for larger parts.
- Start with PLA. It is the most forgiving material. Move to PETG once you understand cooling and retraction. Use an enclosure if you step up to ABS or ASA.
- Speed reality. Headline speeds assume tuned profiles and strong cooling. Ramp up gradually as you learn the machine.
- Keep spares. Stock extra nozzles, a spare PTFE tube if applicable, and a replacement PEI sheet. A little rail grease or light oil goes a long way.
Final thoughtsChoose your 3D printer the same way this guide was built: by prioritizing the features that prevent failed prints. If you want the quietest, tidiest setup with the least fiddling and the easiest path to a successful first layer, Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro is the turnkey pick. If you value community tutorials, abundant profiles, and easy spare parts so you can learn fast and fix anything, Creality Ender-3 V3 SE is the dependable all-rounder. If your priority is cutting print times while keeping surfaces clean, Anycubic Kobra 3 V2 Combo delivers speed headroom at a budget price. Finaly, if you need more room to grow for larger cosplay pieces or batch prints and want modern motion control, ELEGOO Neptune 4 Plus gives you a bigger platform without a complex setup.
To get results that match what we described up top, follow the same fundamentals across all four. Run the first layer slowly and slightly hotter, wipe the PEI with isopropyl alcohol, and re-run leveling whenever you change nozzles or move the printer. Start with PLA as it is very forgiving and then step into PETG for more durable pieces. Every material reacts differently so once you are comfortable with one, experiment with another. Increase speed gradually as your profiles improve, and keep a spare nozzle and fresh PEI sheet on hand. Do that, and any of these budget machines will deliver the reliability that make desktop 3D printing feel effortless rather than experimental.
