Reviews Roundup: ARCTIC BioniX Fans, MelGeek Made68 Ultra V2, and Price-Cut ASRock Z890 Taichi Aqua
ARCTIC just shipped its BioniX P12 and P14 ARGB fans, value-oriented units pitched just below its Pro line that earn an EnosTech Performance Award for their daisy-chain design and strong cooling, though they get loud and need care on 1A fan headers. MelGeek's Made68 Ultra V2 is a $239 wired 65% Hall-effect keyboard praised for premium build, quiet acoustics, and fast magnetic switches, but its faint purple legends vanish under backlighting. ASRock's Z890 Taichi Aqua flagship got a massive price cut to about US$500, earning TechPowerUp's Recommended award for water-cooled VRMs and a monstrous spec sheet despite dated software and painful memory overclocking. Together, the three reviews point to the same takeaway: value is where PC hardware stands out right now.
