Eufy Dual Camera Doorbell Review

Whatever physical gaming software or hardware you order online, it is guaranteed that at some point there will be a knock at the door. Now while a majority of courier transactions will happen while somebody is at home, there is always the chance that the courier will leave the package on the doorstep, take a photo and leave. Wouldn't it be nice to know that a package has been left at your door? Wouldn't it also be great to have some form of security watching over the package until it is safely collected? Well EUFY has thought very hard and long about this issue and has produced a doorbell security system that houses not just one but two cameras for double protection. EUFY Dual Camera Doorbell - Always Watching Whether it is guarding your gaming shed, room or front entrance, doorbell came...

ARGB Lighting For Everyone

Recently I discovered an issue that I was a little naive about after having some new peripherals with ARGB lighting to try out. My motherboard, an ASUS TUF B450m, only had an RGB header. Naturally, my heart sunk. How could I get around this? After all, blasting 12v into 5v LED's is a big no-no.

The solution is actually not that difficult and relies on two components. What Do You Need? Firstly you need to purchase the Corsair iCUE Lighting Node Pro Lighting Controller.
