Developing a lightweight version of Windows 10 for low-performance devices is something Microsoft has been working on for some time now as shown by a leaked development build of Windows Core Polaris that recently appeared online. The software giant has been developing a modular version of Windows codenamed “Windows Core OS” since at least 2017. Microsoft planned to offer different versions of Windows to suit a number of form factors including phones, 2-in-1s, dual-screen PCs and even collaboration devices. The company initially created two versions of Windows using Windows Core OS: Andromeda for mobile devices and Polaris for laptops and desktops. However, Polaris was intended to replace Windows 10 S Mode as it was built with low-end devices in mind. For this reason, Microsoft wanted to remove legacy elements such as the Control Panel from Polaris. We've put together a list of the best business laptops around These are the best business computers on the market Also check out our roundup of the best mobile workstations Polaris leak Polaris build 16299 for Arm devices was recently shared online without a Windows shell or apps by a leaker known as Scamdisk. In the build's read me, Scamdisk provided additional details and explained what it would take to get it running, saying: “This is PolarisOS. It's a cancelled edition of Windows Core OS that was designed for Desktops and Laptops. This image is early enough to not include much more than the OS itself. It comes with no shell, and won't load any. You need an ARM device to boot this, and you need to sideload drivers before first boot.” The build itself is from 2018 when Microsoft shifted its focus away from Windows Core OS to Windows Lite/Santorini which is now known as Windows 10X. In the end, the software giant ended up canceling both Polaris and Andromeda with Polaris being replaced by Windows 10X while Andromeda was replaced with Android on the Surface Duo. Windows users will finally get a chance to take Windows 10X for a spin later this spring and laptops and other devices running the new operating system should arrive by summer of 2021.

Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, which contract-manufactures products such as the Apple iPhone, has taken a major stake in struggling EV start-up Byton in a move set to accelerate its expansion into the car industry. Chinese-owned Byton was launched in 2017 and has shown a range of concept cars since then. It had been developing its M-Byte SUV for production, with plans to offer it in China and Europe, but suspended operations in June last year due to financial struggles worsened by the pandemic. Foxconn, through its parent firm Hon Hai Precision Industry Co, has now agreed a ‘strategic co-operation deal’ with Byton, aided by the Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone. Bloomberg reports the deal is worth around $200 million (£145 million). As part of the arrangement, Foxconn will provide Byton with its manufacturing technology and expertise, and help it gain access to Foxconn’s extensive supply chain. The move is the latest step by Foxconn into the electric car industry, which includes an agreement signed last year to establish a Chinese-market joint venture with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and a plan to launch a solid-state EV battery by 2024. In October last year, Foxconn unveiled the MIH Open Platform, an electric vehicle architecture and software platform, and invited firms to link up and develop vehicles on it. The firm claims MIH can be used for saloons and SUVs, and said it wants the platform to serve as “the Android [operating system] of the EV industry”. Foxconn is estimated to manufacture around 40% of all consumer electronics worldwide, and has made products for the likes of Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Nokia and BlackBerry. It is looking to diversify its interests into other markets to become less reliant on Apple, and has been drawn by the rapidly expanding EV industry. It has already manufactured parts for firms including Tesla. Byton was was co-founded by former BMW i boss Carston Breitfeld, who left the firm last year and recently joined fellow EV start-up Faraday Future. It was originally funded by investment from Chinese internet giant Tencent and a number of other firms including Foxconn. First Auto Works, China’s oldest state-owned car maker, took a major stake in 2018, and Breitfeld has cited that firm’s influence as part of his reason for leaving. Foxconn’s growing interest in electric vehicles comes as major client Apple is reported to be showing renewed interest in the market, with plans to launch its first EV by 2024.

Selena Gomez is known for her powerful singing, but we are also fans of her makeup game which is always on point. So as we try to beat the blues on the first Monday of 2021, we came across a 5-minute makeup tutorial by The Heart Wants What It Wants singer, and the day suddenly became so much better! If you too are excited about the video, take a look at it below and then also read the steps to recreate her look. *Selena begins by lightly dotting the foundation all over her face and then blending it with swiping stokes. She then applies a brightening concealer, which is two shades lighter, under her eyes and blends it for full coverage. *If you have prominent dark circles, we suggest you colour correct your eyes first and then proceed with a brightening concealer. Doing this will save your under-eye area from looking ashy. *Next, she uses a liquid blush and applies a hint of it on the apple of her cheeks for a flushed look. *She then applies a liquid highlighter on her cheekbones, cupid’s bow (the area above the lips), and her eyebrow bone and softly blends it all. *Finally, she sets her eyebrows with an eyebrow gel, which gives it a slightly bushy effect. She completes the look by setting her entire face with a loose setting powder and applying a hint of pink lip balm. https://youtu.be/FaI0VHjS2sQ

The Spanish champions are favourites for for the Austrian's signature but his salary request is causing concern David Alaba’s wage demands are proving a stumbling block with regard to a move to Real Madrid, Goal can confirm. Alaba is set to leave Bayern Munich on the expiration of his contract in the summer, and Real Madrid moved ahead of Barcelona in the chase when it was reported that Barca could not match his demands. The Austrian is keen to take advantage of his free-transfer status, and this is now proving to be a problem for Real as well - despite the player's preference for a move to Spain. Real want to push through a deal, but his representatives - headed by Pini Zahavi - have told the Spanish champions that Alaba wants a wage of €13 million ($16m/£12m) a season after tax. Such a wage would catapult Alaba to the top of Real’s wage structure, ahead of Sergio Ramos who is picking up €12 million ($15m/£11m) a season. Given Ramos is in the final year of his contract with Real, and that talks have reportedly stalled, pushing ahead with a deal for Alaba on such terms would be problematic for the Madrid giants, who are ready to sanction a pay packet worth €10 million ($12m/£9m). While Alaba is still to commit to a new club, there is always an outside chance that Bayern could persuade him to stay. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said before Christmas that the door remained ajar for Alaba to come back into the fold and sign a new deal, and coach Hansi Flick spoke in glowing terms of the 28-year-old following the game with Mainz on Sunday. “He is very important to us, on and off the pitch,” Flick said on Sky Germany. “He is very po[CENSORED]r and supports young players. However, board member Oliver Kahn has said the player has turned his back on the prospect of remaining at the Allianz Arena. "We rolled out the red carpet for David Alaba and went to our limits,” Khan told SportBild. “David and especially his advisor Pini Zahavi did not walk this red carpet.” The transfer saga is likely to rumble on for some time yet, and Flick will hope it does not prove a distraction as his side attempt to defend their Bundesliga and Champions League crowns. Bayern are two points clear of RB Leipzig at the top of the Bundesliga and have been drawn against Lazio in the Champions League round of 16.

Morocco’s Ministry of Health has recorded 656 new COVID-19 cases in the country in the past 24 hours. Today’s figure brings the total number of Morocco’s confirmed COVID-19 cases to 443,802 as of Monday, January 4, at 6 p.m. Moroccan health authorities announced 1,579 new recoveries from COVID-19, increasing the total number of recovered patients in the country to 414,972. The number represents a national recovery rate of 93.5%. In the past 24 hours, 53 patients succumbed to the disease. In total, Morocco has recorded 7,538 coronavirus-related deaths, marking a national fatality rate of 1.7%. Morocco currently counts 21,292 active COVID-19 cases, including 1,169 patients in severe or critical condition. Severely-ill patients include 84 who are under intubation and 690 under non-invasive ventilation. Moroccan laboratories conducted 7,858 COVID-19 tests in the past 24 hours, including 7,202 that came back negative. Since the start of the domestic outbreak, Moroccan laboratories have excluded 4,063,490 suspected COVID-19 cases. Casablanca-Settat remains the most affected region in the country. In the past 24 hours, it recorded 175 new COVID-19 cases and 27 coronavirus-related deaths. Rabat-Sale-Kenitra comes second, with 127 new cases and six deaths, followed by Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (109 cases, three deaths), Souss-Massa (102 cases, two deaths), and Fez-Meknes (45 cases, four deaths). The regions of the Oriental (33 cases, no deaths), Marrakech-Safi (29 cases, two deaths), and Beni Mellal-Khenifra (26 cases, six deaths) have recorded less than 50 new COVID-19 cases in the past 24 hours. Morocco’s southern regions of Guelmim-Oued Noun (four cases), Dakhla-Oued Ed Dahab (four cases), and Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra (one case, one death), and the southeastern region of Draa-Tafilalet (one case, two deaths) are the least affected in the country.

ZBE: a new initialism I’ve just invented. It stands for Zoom Background Embarrassment. It’s not that John McGuinness has just spotted my first edition of The Joy of Sex. No, it’s worse than that. He’s seen my paltry collection of trophies on top of the bookcase. With 23 Isle of Man TT wins and three decades of racing and winning around the world, McGuinness has amassed more silverware in a week than I have over a lifetime. Fortunately, he is not in his trophy room. “For car racing, are they?” enquires McGuinness. “Some,” I reply. “But most are for bike racing.” That changes everything; immediately my credibility has gone up a few levels, even though my successes are very modest. “Doesn’t matter,” he says. “There’s them that sit in the pub talking about it and there’s them that actually go out and do it.” We weren’t meant to be on Zoom; we should have been face to face at Lydden Hill circuit in Kent, where McGuinness was due to test a rallycross supercar in preparation for a race this month. He’s already competed in rallycross at Lydden in an RX150, a buggy-like machine powered by a Honda Fireblade engine. More of that event later, but suffice to say that McGuinness finished second overall. Bikers who have a crack at racing cars is one of my favourite subjects, and it’s a theme I’ve never tired of investigating, reading and writing about. From following Valentino Rossi driving a Ford Focus WRC at Rally GB to pitching myself against a professional car racer and a bike racer to see if it’s harder to get close to a four-wheel-man’s time or a bike racer’s. You might remember that one – it was in the mag 10 or so years ago. Another feature for this magazine, and the one that was the most revealing of all, was a road trip to the Isle of Man and then Northern Ireland in an Aston Martin Vantage Prodrive Edition, first to passenger TT winner Milky Quayle for a lap of the TT course and then for the same with the late Robert Dunlop around the Ulster Grand Prix course at Dundrod. Both were unbelievably smooth with the car, very accurate on the road and, of course, quick. And all in an unfamiliar car while giving a flowing commentary of the various sections of road. Before that, I’d been driven by Carl Fogarty, also for a magazine feature, in a Ferrari 360 Modena. Again, he was smooth, accurate and fast. “Those must have been interesting experiences,” says McGuinness. “You couldn’t find three more different characters. But what you found comes out of racing a bike on public roads. I’ve been to the Nürburgring and it’s great and a lot of fun, but compared with the Isle of Man it’s like a car park. There’s some run-off, not much, but there’s none at the Isle of Man. You have to be millimetre perfect everywhere to be fast. “It’s a bit like a giant ‘join the dots’. You’ve got to hit every apex and be in the right position on the road. It’s something you develop as a person, there’s no handbook that tells you how to do it.” Rallycross isn’t McGuinness’s first taste of motorsport on four wheels. A few years ago, thanks to his ties with Honda and Dunlop, he was invited to drive a works Honda BTCC car at Knockhill alongside its regular pilot, Gordon Shedden. “I really enjoyed it,” he says. “Good weather, a championship-winning car and all the data-logging guys there. I really grabbed at the opportunity. I could have just gone there, cruised around and had a nice day out, but I wanted to make it count, so when I came in after my first session, we overlaid my data on Gordon’s and I studied where he was braking etc. I thought, whatever happens I’m going to go fast. “You certainly use more kerb in a car, running all over them. If you did that on a superbike, you’d be off. I went quite quickly and afterwards spoke to a couple of teams, but when they mentioned the money it costs, I ran in the other direction. “The car felt a bit asthmatic. Out of slow corners you’d be waiting for it to get going, whereas a superbike is spinning its back wheel and fighting its way out. When they put 20kg of fuel in the car, I couldn’t believe the effect it had. I asked what they’d done because the car felt so different. “The Citroën supercar rallycross car was different. That was a car you really have to get on top of. Not that the RX150 buggies are easy. I guess bike racers tend to go pretty well in cars because they feel safer and perhaps we tend to have bigger balls. “I approached the rallycross race at Lydden Hill in August just as seriously as I did the touring car test and anything else I’ve competed in. The extra twist was that my son Ewan, who’s 19, was also racing alongside me. We were on our way back from the test in the Citroën rallycross car and dropped in at [multiple British rallycross champ] Ollie O’Donovan’s place for a brew. I love Ollie to bits: he’s a straight shooter. Before I knew what was happening, he’d got Ewan fitted into a buggy, filled out a licence and entry forms and we were entered for the meeting at the end of August. “When we got there, I began to have second thoughts because Ewan had never competed before and these rallycross buggies are serious machines, with a 1000c Fireblade engine. You’re working hard all the time, especially on the gravel where the car is trying to fire itself off in different directions. I know the Fireblade engine intimately so know how it delivers its power. Some of the other drivers were revving the balls off their engines beyond where the motor makes its torque. Otherwise, the environment is pretty unfamiliar to me. You’re strapped in very tight with the Hans device restricting your head movement, it’s hot and smelly, and a car racing helmet has a narrower slot to see out of than a bike helmet, so you can’t see so well. “One bloke really impressed me. This guy Stephen Jones turned up at Lydden in a Skoda Yeti towing a small trailer with his buggy on it. Long curly hair, very laid-back. Didn’t touch his car with a spanner all weekend and didn’t say much either. Won all his heats and the final. Very smooth driver. It may feel fast when you’re crossed up all over the place but you’re losing time.” He knows it’s a first-world problem, but McGuinness has had the rug pulled out from under him this year. The TT cancelled, appearances at dealerships and chat shows binned. As an aside, don’t ever miss a chance to hear him speak. I saw his acceptance speech for his induction to Motor Sport magazine’s Hall of Fame: a room full of motorsport royalty entranced not just by the ex-bricklayer from Morecambe’s tales but also by his ability to judge an audience and strike a balance between bawdiness and good taste. At 48 years old, McGuinness hasn’t got many years left at the top. “I’ve finished 99 TT races,” he says. “I’ve got to make the century.” This unusual and inactive year has clearly had an effect and brought on some deep thinking about what the future may hold post-motorcycle racing. “I was with Michael Schumacher at Paul Ricard just before he had his accident,” says McGuinness. “It was a fascinating experience. I flew down to the south of France on Ryanair and he flew direct to Ricard in his private jet. We were both at the track testing bikes. He was extremely focused and constantly tapping me up for tips. He was competing in the German Superbike Championship and falling off a lot. Trouble was he was braking too late and too hard. You can’t use car braking points on a bike. “He was extremely friendly and it was great to spend some quality time with him. He couldn’t get his head around the fact that I was still racing at 40, until I said that I had a young family and needed to earn a living. Then he got it. You could tell he was in a bit of a hole, not really knowing how to fill his life. Bike racing was something that excited him.” The McGuinnesses have the builders in, busy working on a new workshop and a racking system for the 120 sets of leathers John’s accrued over his racing career. “Better go and check on the blokes,” says McGuinness. “I’m paying their wages and you’ve been waffling on for ages.” And then diplomatically he adds: “We both have.” He’s right, though, I was. His fault for being too interesting and too approachable.

Weddings in 2020 had to go through a few adjustments because of the pandemic: marriage plans were either put on hold, or changed considerably. Couples had to forgo their ideal destinations, reduce their guest list, reschedule celebrations. Wedding planning resumed with gusto towards the second half of 2020. While several couples went ahead with their nuptials — keeping health and safety protocols in mind — some decided to postpone their wedding until 2021. Keeping in mind these changes, the wedding industry also witnessed some unique trends to adapt to the new normal. According to wedding planning company The Knot Worldwide’s Global COVID-19 Wedding report published in October 2020, the Indian wedding industry — touted to be around $50 billion — has revived itself amid the pandemic by exploring alternatives. Here are some of the wedding trends noticed in 2020 which are most likely to continue in 2021. From selecting vendors to providing aid and advice to couples, wedding technology platforms helped. The entire wedding planning process was shifted online — from virtual venue tours to having vendor meetings online. Couples also chose to host their weddings with smaller gatherings, with friends and distant families connecting virtually. Many went ahead with digital wedding announcements and e-invites. With bridal wear designers launching their websites during lockdown, couples preferred virtual tours to shortlist designs. With some relaxations now, couples can visit stores for fitting sessions or final shortlisting. Keeping it close and personal As per the COVID-19 study conducted by The Knot Worldwide, three-fourths of the couples (76 per cent) were confident they will go ahead with the ceremony on the scheduled date. Most couples reduced the size of their guest lists (68 per cent) and hired fewer vendors (60 per cent) to ensure norms are followed. Many couples opted for an intimate ‘roka‘, followed by a pre-wedding ceremony of their choice and then the wedding. For those who had planned a ‘big fat wedding’, they rescheduled to accommodate a larger guest list. Mandap decorations and planning a spaced-out seating arrangement became integral to a COVID-19 wedding — floor seatings, creating ‘seating bubbles’ and small tent seating setups across the venue. The pandemic has brought in the culture of leisure and relaxation, allowing people to be more creative. Couples have shifted towards a more sustainable preference and have been trying their hand at newer, DIY projects for the first time. They are now appreciating the authenticity and details of what already exists. Styling heirloom accessories or jewellery set and pairing them with new pieces is in vogue; designers are also reviving the age-old charm of handwoven natural fiber. Big wedding planning brands are not shying away from using sustainable decor items like cane baskets, cane lanterns, plants and flowers, and earthen pots to complete their desired wedding aesthetic. It’s all about the location Choosing a venue can be challenging. Couples have resorted to hosting grand celebrations in forts like those in Rajasthan. Many prefer hill stations as guests would be more comfortable in a car ride. As per the study, outdoor weddings have gained po[CENSORED]rity. Couples host celebrations in their backyards and gardens to make their celebration more personal and keep their guests in a safer. Adhering to local rules and regulations, a vast majority of to-be-weds (80 per cent) are encouraging social distancing — between people and tables.

The Reds were in flux 10 years ago, far from the European force of present and few players sum up this low point more than the Serbian forward Few people will look back at 2020 with any great fondness. However, among the exceptions will be Liverpool fans. It was the year in which their club claimed a first English league title since 1990. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds provided a shining example of blistering attacking football, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino established as a forward trio with few equals. It is easy to forget that just 10 years ago Liverpool was a club spinning its wheels, stuck in Premier League mid-table hell under a succession of failing managers and bogged down by history and pressure. Players came and went through the gates of Anfield, heralded as the next big thing but failing to leave an impact. No player sums up this time of flux more than Milan Jovanovic. He was signed by Rafael Benitez, he played under Roy Hodgson, he was sidelined by Kenny Dalglish and he was let go after just one season. Jovanovic's tale is a sorry one, even more so for a player once called one of the world’s best – admittedly by a character on television soap opera Neighbours. Jovanovic was Liverpool’s first signing ahead of the 2010-11 season, arriving on a free transfer following his involvement in Serbia’s World Cup campaign in South Africa. There was initial doubt over his move, as negotiations had begun under previous manager Benitez, and there was talk that the Spaniard would try and lure Jovanovic to new club Inter. Liverpool would later wish theat rumoured San Siro switch had actually come to pass. Despite being 29 and having previously played in Belgium for Standard Liege, Jovanovic appeared to be quite the coup for Liverpool. He had turned down Real Madrid in order to move to Anfield. eature in the early parts of the 2010-11 season, making his Premier League debut against Arsenal at Anfield, and scoring his first Liverpool goal in their League Cup clash with Northampton. The Northampton match would go down in infamy for Liverpool, however, as they lost at home to the fourth-tier side, going out 4-2 on penalties following a 2-2 draw. “Catastrophe. I am so disappointed. What can I say? It was a very difficult night for me, for all the players and the team. Of course we feel sorry for the fans," Jovanovic said after the game. "We know this is not Liverpool. It is very bad. I am so surprised by the performance. I have not got enough experience of English football but I didn’t expect this.” Experience in English football was not something Jovanovic would ever acquire. Other than Northampton, he played 90 minutes only five times for Liverpool, including only twice in the Premier League – a 0-0 draw at Birmingham and a 2-1 defeat to Blackpool. After Hodgson left by mutual consent on January 8, 2011, to be replaced by club legend Dalglish, Jovanovic played only twice more – the Blackpool loss, and 18 minutes of a 1-1 draw with Wigan. Of 19 games under Dalglish in 2010-11, Jovanovic was not even on the bench for 16 of them. He played 10 Premier League games that season, and did not score a single goal. Liverpool had appeared at one stage ready to persevere with Jovanovic – reportedly turning down a £6 million ($8m) bid from Wolfsburg in January – yet the writing was on the wall once Dalglish made his position clear, and almost a year to the day after leaving Belgium for England, Jovanovic made the return trip as he signed for Anderlecht. The failure at Liverpool derailed Jovanovic’s career, and after two years at Anderlecht he was released and never played for a professional club again – on the scrapheap aged only 32. However, while Jovanovic may be forgotten by many Liverpool fans, he lives on in the minds of Australian TV drama fans. In October 2011, a character in Neighbours described the winger as “one of the greatest footballers in the world” during a conversation about the beautiful game. Whether an example of a scriptwriter not performing forensic levels of research into European football, or a case of Australia’s lukewarm love of the sport compared to rugby or cricket, it nevertheless provides Jovanovic with a moment of notoriety sorely lacking from his stint in the Premier League.

Rabat – Morocco announced further increase in the prices of cigarettes, starting January 1. The list shows major increases in po[CENSORED]r brands, including Camel, Marlboro, and Winston. The Moroccan Customs and Indirect Taxes Administration circulated a notice on December 24 on the decision. The government published the notice in the Official Gazette on December 31. The increase entered into force on Friday. The increases also concerned rolled tobacco and molasses used in hookahs, as well as cigars. The prices are up by 2 dirhams in some brands, while others experienced higher increases. Camel Filters, Camel Lights, and Camel Blue cost MAD 33 prior to the decision. Meanwhile, Marlboro Gold KS, Marlboro Beyond Blue, and Marlboro Red KS were sold atr MAD 38. Under the new decision, Winston Blue and Winston Red will cost MAD 34 each. In December, Morocco’s government approved a bill on the system of raw and manufactured cigarettes. The law sought to align the system with the 2021 Finance Bill. The finance bill seems to create an internal consumption tax on e-cigarettes of $163 for every 1,000 grams. The new bill also seeks to implement labeling of ratios of carbon monoxide in addition to the existing labels to comply with international standards. The standards aim to include levels of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide in cigarettes. The bill sti[CENSORED]tes that the cigarettes sold in Morocco do not comply with international standards. In 2017, Swiss journalists Marie Maurisse and Gie Goris published an investigation showing that Switzerland sells cigarettes that have higher ratios of tar nicotine and carbon monoxide than those sold in Switzerland and France.

The EVGA 650 N1 is a low-end PSU with low overall performance, low efficiency, noisy operation, and low-end parts at its internals. It managed to deliver, though, full load at 36 degrees Celsius, and its transient response at 12V is satisfactory, while the hold-up time is longer than what the ATX spec requires. Its build quality is low, and you should be careful not to overload its +12V rail since OCP is not correctly configured. This is definitely not stuff for our best PSU picks article, and you should get a Corsair CX650 or a CV650 instead. If you can pay more, you should also look at the Cooler Master MWE Bronze with similar capacity. The EVGA N1 line consists of three members with capacities ranging from 550W to 750W. These PSUs aim for the mainstream market, so they don't have any modular cables, and according to EVGA, they can deliver full power at a low ambient temperature, 25 degrees Celsius. Typically, high-end PSUs can deliver full power continuously at 50 degrees Celsius. Still, they use higher quality components to achieve this, which cost way more than the parts that EVGA and HEC used for the N1 models. Theoretically speaking, the 650 N1 could handle a strong graphics card like the Nvidia RTX 3070, but I would advise against that since it only has two PCIe connectors installed on the same cable, which uses thin 20AWG gauges. If you have invested a high amount for a good GPU, it's better spend a bit more to get a decent power supply. Getting a PSU based on your leftover money after purchasing all the other system parts is not a wise move All cables are fixed, and the amount of provided connectors is satisfactory, given that this is a mainstream PSU. All cables are long enough, but the distance between all peripheral connectors is short. Moreover, it is a great shame to use thin 20AWG gauges on the PCIe and SATA connectors, while the ATX spec recommends 18AWG, at least. We strongly encourage you to have a look at our PSUs 101 article, which provides valuable information about PSUs and their operation, allowing you to better understand the components we're about to discuss. This is a low-end platform from HEC, using an outdated design. On the primary side, there is an APFC converter, thankfully, and the two pain FETs are installed in double forward topology. On the secondary side, passive rectification is used along with a group regulation scheme where 12V and 5V are tied together, while the 3.3V rail is independently regulated. Group regulation is not recommended for any modern system since it requires a high enough load at 12V and 5V to keep voltages on these rails in control. If the load is unbalanced between the rails, load regulation goes south. The transient filtering stage includes all necessary parts, and it even uses an MOV and a discharge IC. It is a nice surprise to find discharge ICs in such low-end platforms. HEC was wise enough to use two bridge rectifiers in this platform, which are bolted on a heat sink. The APFC converter uses three MagnaChip FETs and one NXP boost diode. These are decent parts, but we cannot say the same for the Teapo bulk cap, which is only rated at 85 degrees Celsius. The primary switching FETs are configured in a double forward topology, which is rarely used nowadays since most manufacturers prefer half-bridge topologies in their mid-capacity PSUs. The only two coils on the secondary side are a clear indication of a group regulation scheme. To make matters even worse, SBRs (Schottky Barrier Diodes) are used to rectify all rails instead of FETs, which are much more efficient. The filtering caps on the secondary side belong to low-end Teapo and Elite lines. This PSU will have a hard time outliving the two-year warranty under higher than 30 degrees Celsius operating temperatures. The standby PWM controller is a Power Integrations TNY279PN, while the secondary rectifier is a PFC PFR10L60CT SBR. The latter is strong enough to handle the 5VSB rail's demands. The supervisor IC is provided by Weltrend and supports all necessary protection features but OTP, which looks to be missing from this platform. Soldering quality is satisfactory. Definitely not great, but good enough for this price range. EVGA states that the PSU's fan has a sleeve bearing, but I broke it apart and found an inferior rifle bearing. It is weird that EVGA's marketing team totally missed this.

I’ve been an exclusive PC gamer for a few years now, and I love it. I initially made the jump from console to PC gaming about two years ago, as more and more of my friends were playing po[CENSORED]r games on PC, rather than on console. Games like Overwatch, Destiny 2, and Borderlands 3 were some of the multiplayer-heavy games that I played with friends, and as I continued to spend less time on my PlayStation 4, I picked up future games for PC only. My current gaming rig is certainly something that shocks a few people. It’s a Zotac Magnus EN1060, which is a delightful compact PC with some pretty decent internals. Sporting an Intel Core i5 processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, it’s seen me through a lot of my games, though capped at medium quality settings. I opted for this PC because of its tiny footprint – it barely takes up any space on my desk, yet it’s able to drive two of my monitors and has a ton of connectivity options at the back. But as modern games become more demanding, my space-saving setup is becoming less and less adequate at keeping up. What’s further putting a strain on my current PC is the fact that I also use it to stream to Twitch, which in itself is a resource-heavy activity. So games that I usually get around 80-100fps drop down to 40-50fps when I start streaming them. With games like Cyberpunk 2077 pushing the limits of what modern PCs are capable of, it’s time for me to put together a gaming rig that I’m personally content with, and one that I can choose to upgrade later on, should I choose to do so. The beauty of building your own PC is that you can put whatever components you like into it, matching both your budget and your needs. The parts that I’ve chosen for my build reflect what I currently need as well as what is available to me. You should always feel free to shop around for deals if you can, and always make sure that the components you’re buying are compatible with each other, just so you don’t end up with a PC build that doesn’t actually boot up. So with that all out of the way, let’s move on to the actual build: First comes the PC case, where all your components will comfortably sit. Your PC case also (to an extent) governs how much you can upgrade your PC in the future, especially when it comes to being able to fit larger components such as modern GPUs. The case being used here is the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh Performance, which offers an incredible amount of flexibility. In addition to supporting different motherboard sizes, the case also offers a lot of storage options, as well as easy access to almost any component via its side panels. Airflow is another important factor of this case, as you have a number of options available to install fans, radiators, or even water cooling options. I’ll be sticking with the three fans that come with the case, and relocating two of them to the top and one to the rear. To bring everything together, I’m opting for the Biostar B550GTQ motherboard. It’s an affordable, entry-level board that has some great features including supporting up to 128GB of memory, should I ever need such a phenomenal amount of RAM. More importantly, it offers plenty of storage options for M.2 and SSD/HDD drives. As a bonus, it also includes both 5V and 12V LED headers, to control any RGB lighting I add to the case. AMD has certainly being making a buzz about its products recently, and truthfully this will be my very first AMD-powered PC. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X offers great value for performance and pricing, so it was a straightforward choice. While there are slightly cheaper processors that I could have selected, the Ryzen 7 3700X will be more than sufficient for gaming, streaming, and even tackling the occasional video editing project.
