THERE IS NO DENYING that HyperX’s Cloud headsets are super comfortable, there's even a clue in the name. Although visually, this isn’t the most advanced design, there is no faulting HyperX's formula here— take an already great gaming headset and add wireless functionality to the mix. So, does this headset live up to the latest expectations, and should you join sides with this formidable peripheral?
Starting with the design, HyperX has stuck with that old saying; 'if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it'. The mainly aluminum structure provides a durable build quality, while still having a flexible padded headband. As far as the cups go, if you have ever used HyperX headsets before, you’ll already know, but these cans are soft and comfortable. A thick memory foam coats your ears and while back in 2015, the original Cloud IIs were one of the most comfortable gaming headsets on the market, we can still say the same today. They aren’t the lightest headphones we've tested, but they are fine for a long session, with no noticeable pressure on your ears or head.

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.

The new Zen 5 CPUs are here—time to benchmark!
