A FEW YEARS AGO, there was an explosion of high-end microphones from companies such as Razer, Blue, and HyperX. They’d clearly all realized there was a nascent market of wannabe streamers, YouTubers, and content creators who wanted to sound good and look cool when making video content. Jump forward to today, and there are still lots of aspiring Twitch superstars, but there are far more people working from home who want to sound clear in their Zoom meetings, and who still might want to make video game content or podcasts in their spare time. Enter the HyperX SoloCast, a cut-down version of the company’s existing mic offerings for a much more reasonable price.
Despite its RRP of $60, the SoloCast is readily available for $35, making it much cheaper than the QuadCast or QuadCast S that you may have seen capturing the audio for so many YouTubers out there. Unlike the large, cylindrical outline of the QuadCast, the SoloCast is much more compact, almost endearingly dinky in comparison. However, it still boasts that same reassuring feeling of quality, with a nice weight that keeps it planted to a desk, helped by the sturdy stand that comes included in the box.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
