The saying “You can shove it!” is not new. But what does that have to do with proper power supplies? However, the new Corsair RMx Shift series now brings with it innovation that has it all: a DC connector panel positioned on the side. According to the brand, this provides a huge boost to cable management (well, it’s supposed to) [...]

After we recently tested the current AMD flagship from Beelink, we now have the counterpart from Intel. With a power-saving “BigLittle” architecture, i.e. a mixture of performance and efficiency cores, as well as Xe graphics and DDR5, it goes into battle against the currently fastest mini-PC in our tests. The following article will [...]
Sure, the title sounds lurid at first, but it actually contains everything that really characterized this review of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, because this is where a highly efficient and in many areas really extremely fast CPU meets smaller, self-imposed hurdles. This may sound more dramatic at first than it really is in the end, and it [...]
With the update KB5022913, Microsoft has once again angered the professional users who had more or less grudgingly come to terms with the new Windows 11. Apart from the fact that many useful tools have been made worse again or quite banal things from the Windows everyday life have been moved or cutted again – with the popular Explorer [...]
Every day is a groundhog… er, Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 kit day, of course. We have already presented the exterior of Corsair’s high-end RAM modules a fair few times, but, as with so many things, it is mainly the inner values that matter. I can therefore already tell you that today’s test subject relies on SK Hynix 16 [...]
This summer, AMD’s Vega graphics cards will celebrate their fifth birthday. Always standing in the shadow of Nvidia’s Pascal cards, the power-hungry cards were never really popular with gamers. Currently, the small models with 56 shader clusters change hands for just over 100€ on the second-hand market. Without further ado, we [...]
It was not long ago that the first small systems with the mobile Ryzen 5000 processors were launched on the market, and there are already more. With 16 threads and an RDNA2 architecture for the iGPU, a decent performance increase can be expected. In the following article, you can find out whether this idea will become reality. and already in [...]
We start today’s Sunday with the new GeForce RTX 5090 in a space-saving dual-fan design and a tolerable 2200 watts TBP. Also noteworthy is the 230VHPWR plug, which can also be plugged directly into the socket via NVIDIA adapter. A suitable ATX 3.0 power supply is already integrated in the case
I’m sure I don’t need to describe a router any further, because everyone knows that the Internet doesn’t just come out of the wall socket, but also needs to be distributed throughout the home in a manner that is as latency-free and high-bandwidth as possible. Since Wi-Fi 6E now enables real tri-band routers that can generate a [...]
Let’s first look back: Intel’s nevertheless very successful HEDT line ended in 2019 with the Core X series, almost 3 years ago. Since then, the company has launched three complete generations of mobile and desktop CPUs, but completely ignored the HEDT platform. In the meantime, the Core desktop chips of the 13th generation offer a high [...]
After we had a whole series of large air coolers on the testbench, including the almost gigantic be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, let’s look at the other extreme today. Whether this small cooler and its 92mm fan can tame a Ryzen 9 – and under which conditions – you can find out in the following article. Packaging and scope of delivery [...]
I rarely test any smartphones, unless it is for personal use. The Doogee V30 presented today is ultimately the upgrade to the already tested Doogee S89 Pro and has to compete with the Hotwav Cyber 7 again. Both smartphones are privately owned (by my children) and I have already written about the background and the sense or nonsense of smartphones [...]
It is no secret that cards with power dissipations below the 100-watt limit can already be cooled well passively. If you then move close to the 50 watt limit, things get really interesting. No matter if in a free setup or in a tight case, this small amount of waste heat should actually be manageable with aplomb. That’s exactly what I wrote [...]
I deliberately took a bit more time this time by testing the Solidigm P44 Pro briefly at first and then using it in the workstation for a longer time. The Solidigm P44 Pro is ultimately just a SK hynix Platinum P41 under a different name and with modified firmware. The tested 1 TB version is one of three P44 models that are available with 512 GB [...]
After all the monitors, it’s time for a change. The ASUS ROG Chakram X comes at the right time, because we’ll get to the bottom of the marketing regarding the 8,000 Hz polling rate today. Since I’ve been testing the mouse at home since October 2022, I’ll introduce you to the device as a whole. However, my focus is clearly [...]
