It’s time for a new player on the monitor market. Titan Army is bringing the P2510S to Europe. That’s right, Titan Army is a Chinese manufacturer like KTC. It features a Fast IPS panel from BOE with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p on just 24.5 inches. Yes, that makes 120 ppi and that is already razor sharp. As the P2510S is a pure gaming [...]
Today I’m testing four Thermal Putty products for you, whereby these four products are examples of large companies and their products or mixed products. If I manage to organize more products, I will expand the database to include this category, because anyone who knows the circumstances when the pad thicknesses on graphics cards are not [...]
It wasn’t easy to find the right attributes for AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9950X and the right headline for the test article. But while I was able to pull myself out of the noose elegantly with a relatively large amount of text, AMD will probably still have to sit, sweat and make a lot of improvements. There were certainly other reasons for the [...]
Today I have the next three pastes from your wish list in the programme (many thanks to the donors from the community!) and was rather satisfied with the result (but not completely). It also lived up to expectations, because you get a lot of content for your money. The DOWSIL TC-5500 is a decent industrial paste from Dow Corning, but unfortunately [...]
The LG UltraGear 32GS95UX is one of the first – if not the first – dual-mode monitors in the world. You can either use the UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160p at up to 240 Hz or the FHD resolution of 1920 x 1080p at a full 480 Hz. Added to this are the fast OLED pixel response time, low latency and individual dimming of the pixels – [...]
Testing the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X as a harbinger of AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 series would only really be a cracker if AMD had raised the bar to completely new heights in terms of either performance or price or both. That’s not exactly the case, but the test is still very interesting because you have to look at all the charts in their entirety [...]
Today I tested three pastes from my readers’ wish list and was downright depressed by the results of the first two pastes. That was until the last paste I tested built me up a bit. I tested established pastes such as the Noctua NT-H2, the Gelid GC-Extreme (in the blue tube) and the Thermalright TF7. Now, it’s not the first impression [...]
I remember my student days in Dresden, when I used to drive up the hill behind Gorbitz with an old Soviet Junost suitcase TV, a heavy 12V car battery, a crate of beer, a barbecue and other bits and bobs together with friends in a Trabi station wagon, whenever there was an international soccer match on in the warm season, which of course could not [...]
Anyone who has been following me and my tests on igorslab.de for a while knows that whenever there is a new RAM IC on the market, I have to have it and test it immediately! After SK Hynix and Micron in particular have recently launched new memory chips on the market, Samsung is now following suit. Background and unboxing The 16 Gbit B-Die, which [...]
So-called phase change pads are currently marketed as PCM (Phase Change Materials) or, more correctly, as PTM (Phase Transition Material). They are important components in thermal management technology, which have now also arrived in the PC sector for home users and are also enjoying a certain amount of hype. These materials improve heat transfer [...]
Now the time has finally come, after Asus took over or bought the NUC product range from Intel at the end of last year, we finally have an Asus NUC in our test report. So let’s examine in detail whether and how much of the Intel NUC has remained at Asus. Or have they perhaps made something completely their own and just kept the prominent [...]
The Corsair SF1000 is one of the most powerful SFX power supplies currently available on the market. It offers top performance, high efficiency and is also ATX v3.1 compliant. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, as he has not only tested this power supply intensively [...]
The topic of the ageing of thermal conductive pastes is more topical than ever and before we get to the showdown of some phase change pads and pastes in the near future, I’m going to interpose a graphene pad by popular demand, which is not only made of carbon but also costs a lot of it. I was a little skeptical at first, but in the end [...]
In the world of digital end-time disasters, the Fallout series has established itself as an iconic companion through the radiation-infested wasteland. But while Bethesda’s shining jewel has already reduced various American locations to rubble, a huge modification is now venturing into the heart of the old empire: Fallout London. A [...]
Every year again, or what was that? Yes, I also like to take a look at a case and assemble a PC. And because you don’t want to get the big catapult out financially, I deliberately look at inexpensive parts. That’s why today I have the Sharkoon Rebel C50, which I also requested as a sample. And then two boxes arrived at once. As [...]
With this review of the Edifier MR4 Studio Monitor, I’m fulfilling the wishes of those who have repeatedly asked. With prices currently under 100 euros, you can’t really go wrong as long as the user profile is right, because they are anything but gimmicky roaring cubes or colorful plastic tubes with childish LED pacifiers. Minimalism [...]
I already posted yesterday in a news item and briefly commented on what Intel officially published on the night of 22 July 2024 via Reddit as a kind of interim report. However, according to the unanimous opinion of all colleagues and readers, the whole thing is unsatisfactorily short and contains nothing substantial apart from the announcement of [...]
I got the obvious out of the way right from the title, so we can concentrate fully on the essentials … mostly. Because with this self-proclaimed NAS and router, this previously unknown manufacturer has brought something really interesting to the market. So let’s take a look together at what this little guy has to offer. Packaging and [...]
Many manufacturers have been experimenting with the Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pad and graphene pads on graphics cards for some time now. With good success, as AMD board partners in particular (and AMD on the MBA cards) or MSI prove. Paste or no paste, the load on graphics cards in particular is far too heavy a burden for many normal pastes in the [...]
The Blackview Hero 10 is a smartphone that is characterized by its robust design and functional hardware at an acceptable price. And a big mouth. In this review, we look at various aspects of the device, including design, display, performance, camera, software, battery life and more. In this case, clamshell doesn’t mean rickety, as a small [...]
I have been and continue to be confronted with graphics cards from my readers whose initially good cooling performance dwindles after just a few months and whose hotspot temperatures are then well above the 100 degree mark. I have already published several articles on this topic, dealing with the symptoms and repair, but now I finally have the [...]
Today I’m testing two pastes from Thermal Grizzly. The Kryonaut, which has been following us around for almost 10 years and feels like it’s stuck between every second CPU and its cooler in the forums, and a new paste as a “secret” pre-series product, which will be on the market in around three months. I have already tested [...]
