Two weeks ago I stuck one of the new magnetized
dust filters (quite literally) on the front of my gaming PC and put it on
the floor, the results were obvious!
In that small amount of time the SilverStone filter picked up enough dust to
make me want to kit out my entire rig with them.
These neat little dust filters have embedded magnets in the
frame so it can be effortlessly attached to any steel chassis
without tools but if you want you can also attach it to your fans via the screw
points.

Inside our Watch Dogs Gorilla
Rig is the aptly named Tactical
Tracer RAM and it's got some pretty awesome tricks up
it's sleeve!
In addition to the LED light controls, this tool also lets you enjoy
real-time temperature monitoring, so you can keep tabs
on your high-performance memory. The Crucial Ballistix M.O.D. utility allows you
to view uptime, voltages, and set alarms for temperatures, making it one of the
most customisable, responsive modules you’ll find.
We used Red/Green in our build but they also come in a blue – check out
the video below to see some of the different colours and settings :)

Fractal are well known for their beautiful R4 chassis, understated and silent
with plenty of room for great components.
When we got out hands on the Fractal
Define R4 with window we wondered how they they would maintain such quiet
performance with a window in as this normally isn't the best idea with sound
proofed chassis.
Turns out they've done it in a couple of ways.
Firstly the window itself is lined sound dampening foam and with the chassis
they included a built in 3 speed fan controller + 2× Fractal
R2 Silent fans
The R2 silent fans are really popular, I was a little surprised
to see them included free with the chassis and I'd certainly
recommend them for any quiet build and they have the bonus of being awesome
looking – sleeved cables with eleven white blades in a black casing with
rubber screws included for reducing vibrations and further decreasing the
noise level.

Well then, 2014 already!
What better way to start this new year off than by teaming up with our
favourite gaming gear innovators – Razer!
This month, every Gorilla Gaming Rig comes with a Razer
Goliathus Control Edition Gaming Mouse Mat – Some people think a
mouse mat’s a pretty simple thing. Put your mouse on top of it and let it
rip. That might seem so on the surface (pun intended). But there’s actually a
lot of science, technology and craftsmanship that goes into making one
that’s great for gaming. – This one is amazing!
To make this even better everyone that gets a Gorilla Rig will also go into
the draw to win a Deathadder
2013 Gaming Mouse, Kraken
Pro Gaming Headset and the outstanding Deathstalker
Gaming keyboard A setup fit for a pro gamer!

We've been uploading videos of gameplay at the bottom of our Gorilla Rigs
whenever possible, always trying to keep them action packed and spoiler free.
Recently, we started including settings used at the end of videos, now we will
also be posting FPS count videos and benchmarks.
We are trying to find the best free benchmark available to all, so you can
run it on your rigs at home to see the comparisons – any suggestions would be
great! Currently we are using the FF benchmark available for download here.
On that note we love great suggestions, so use the FB comments section either
of the Gorilla Rigs pages or under the Youtube video to let us know the games
you want to see them play or maybe a cool chassis you would like to see a Gaming
Rig built in :)
Below is our first FPS test with Gorilla Warfare, the goal with these is see
how close to max settings we can get without overclock to play at 60 frames per
second.

We all want faster wifi and if you're a lucky monkey in possession of an
awesome Samsung Galaxy S4 this little device can take full
advantage of the now established AC wireless tech. To help bring slightly older
devices up to speed Netgear has a cool bonus at the moment when you grab their
AC modem/router, more on that after the techy stuff.
AC wifi, or technically speaking 802.11ac access points working with 802.11ac
devices can give you faster data transmission, which is pretty
useful if you're streaming movies around your house or
dare I say it, wireless gaming…
The Xbox One teardown revealed it has this AC technology in it (though not
activated yet) so this is certainly something we'll start to see more and more
of in the future which brings me to the situation many people find themselves in
when buying the latest technology, not all devices I own
are ready.
If you're about to make the move to super fast AC wireless you might like
this offer from team at NETGEAR :)
