The NZXT C1500 is a powerful and high-performance power supply that can deliver up to 3000W of power for short periods of time if required. With the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 5090, you are definitely on the safe side with a 1500W ATX v3.1 compliant power supply. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and [...]

Here it is at last, the article on the recently refreshed NZXT H7 Flow. With a radically transformed power supply chamber and a completely different approach to the choice of mesh structure, the H7 is set to attack the top dogs. Read on to find out whether the upgrades work. With some new case releases, there is a certain level of expectation on [...]
The Deepcool PL550D currently costs around 49 euros, making it the cheapest (almost) ATX v3.1 power supply on the market, even if it is advertised as ATX 3.0. This price would still be very low even for ATX power supplies of the previous generation. However, although the maximum output is limited to 550W, this device can withstand power peaks of [...]
First of all, I would of course like to recommend the valuable trade fair video from me, because the tour and a nice explanation naturally provide a real live impression that no film in the world can replace. If you want to see two people really sweating (me because of the heat and NZXT because of the amount of explanations), I can only warmly [...]
Igor has already presented a lot with some Asus announcements. I can warmly recommend the video to you. But of course, that’s not the only news from Asus. The company unveiled itsROG THOR 1600W Titanium 3 and the ROG Mjolnir at this year’s Computex. Computex 2024: Asus mit X870, Konzeptboards und Peripherie Let’s start with [...]
In the brand new SUP-01 case, LIAN LI is breaking new ground in many respects to cool components as efficiently as possible. Read on to find out why radical solutions can often overshoot the mark and why new concepts often bring new inconveniences. When LIAN LI unveiled its latest concepts in 2023, many PC builders were beside themselves with [...]
With the View 270 TG ARGB, THERMALTAKE is launching a compact “aquarium” case with a glass front and side panel for less than €100, which, despite its modern look, is able to build on the virtues of its older siblings. Read on to find out whether it succeeds and what has to be sacrificed to achieve this. Even though I don’t like [...]
At an event in China, the MSI Wuhan Station Dragon Shield Technology Salon 2024, the company MSI presented its MAG PANO 100L PZ PLUS case, which is already celebrating its release this month, as IThome reports. The case should therefore have a lot to offer. The MAG PANO M100R/L was released last year and the new housing is now said to be much [...]
With the Masterbox 600, COOLER MASTER aims to provide a solid basis for all price ranges of PC construction, from entry-level systems to high-end builds. It is certainly a difficult undertaking to design a case that is still compatible with the budget of an entry-level or mid-range PC, but offers such a wide range of functions that you could [...]
After a long delay, today we are taking a look at the new dual-chamber case from Corsair, which generates powerful Carbide Air 540 vibes. As I also installed the XH405i RGB Hard-Tube Watercooling Kit as part of the test, you can expect plenty of pictures. So better get a large coffee to read the article today. To be precise, it was the Corsair [...]
The Enermax Revolution D.F.12 850W is the smallest ATX v3.1 power supply on the market today and measures just 122 mm in depth. It promises tolerance of up to 235% power swing, although the ATX specification calls for up to 200%, which is already overkill for today’s GPUs. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from [...]
At the beginning of the year, we already tested a “Max” case from Cooler Master here, but at that time for compact systems with an ITX mainboard. Today, another case follows with the same partially-prepared approach, but for ATX. This is not really my form factor, but our case specialist Alexander needs some time off and my test of the [...]
With the new edition of the tower series in the old classic vertical case design, Thermaltake has come up with a beautifully designed octagonal prism shape and gives the case a new shine and various color variations. Starting at a fair €140 (depending on the color), it also offers plenty of space for hardware and rounds off the concept with a 3 [...]
The big question that many people are asking themselves: Is it still worth buying an ATX v3.0 power supply now? Recently, everyone has been asking me why they should still buy an ATX v3.0 power supply when the ATX v3.1 specification has long been on the market. However, this is also because very few people even understand that the main difference [...]
It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]
Towards the end of last year, we raffled off a very early Christmas present together with Caseking, which found its lucky winner after some delivery problems. He was kind enough to share his own impressions with us, which we will of course not withhold from you. So here’s the corresponding reader test today, enjoy! Jonsbo N2 NAS enclosure in [...]
Deepcool is launching the new Morpheus case onto the market with a completely new concept. Deepcool confidently advertises a fully modular PC case that can be adapted to any situation from the ground up. This case really scored points with me, as it allows you to install either a single-chamber system or a dual-chamber system in the case. Will the [...]
Just over a year after the release of the extremely popular NORTH case with the attractive front cover in wood decor, FRACTAL DESIGN is now sending a much-requested XL version, in which high-end systems and water circuits should not feel so cramped. Read our test to find out how the big brother performs in everyday use. When Fractal Design [...]
While the white edition of its predecessor saw the light of day as a limited edition, the Dark Base Pro 901 (and 701) will now be available to everyone in white. Reason enough to take another look at the machine. Normally, it makes little sense to test an already tested case again in a different color if hardly anything else about the product has [...]
The NZXT uses a CWT platform that offers high efficiency, quiet operation and ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility. Only the large version is being tested today, as in addition to the 1200 watt model, there is also a 1000 watt version and one with 850 watts. However, although these two smaller power supplies look like a series, the 2022 model is [...]
I’m letting my friend Aris have his say again today and would be delighted if you would also support his plans. What he’s testing is sound, but it’s really hard to make a name for yourself in this age of colorful YouTube videos and dangerous TikTok half-truths. And so today we’re sharing our reach again and I’m [...]
Some things are accidental discoveries and are actually so trivial that nobody even bothers to question the current flows in the PC and, above all, to measure them. We only ever measure the 12-volt rails and are happy. But with connectors such as the 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 over 6+2 pin, the 8-pin EPS and the 24-pin mainboard connection, does exactly [...]
With the CTE design, Thermaltake has tested a new approach to dissipate the waste heat from the components more efficiently. In the first iteration, however, this design led to problems with some GPU coolers, because heatpipes are little divas and are subject to the iron laws of physics. Thermaltake has now solved this problem with the E600 MX and [...]
With the CUT 593 Mid-Tower, the renowned power supply manufacturer FSP (Fortron/Source) wants to gain a foothold in the highly competitive case market. Read on to find out whether two glass side panels and a fancy cable management system are really enough to directly attack the upper class. And if you’re wondering why there’s a [...]
Similar to urban planning, you also have the problem on the desk that there is not unlimited space available on the X and Y axes. In addition to living space, roads, infrastructure and perhaps even a park have to be built. The situation is similar on the desktop at home, because without a mouse, keyboard and monitor, you don’t have much fun [...]
