How to get the bow elegantly with the fat cable on the much too small plug has already been discussed long and wide. And as an outsider, you can criticize all sorts of things and conveniently blame the user, but that doesn’t solve the actual problem. It’s no secret that CableMod now offers suitable angle adapters for all installation [...]

The Acer Predator is definitely a highly interesting SSD, because it combines a rather unknown controller (which does without DRAM as cache) with a very special Chinese 3D TLC NAND from YMTC. In this form, it is even (on paper) one of the fastest PCIe-4 SSDs without DRAM cache and probably the most efficient SSD in this segment at all. Even if it [...]
The Sendy Audio Aiva has me touched (and not just because it’s a magnetostat), and has made me wonder a bit both beforehand and afterward. But more about that in a moment, because I have to elaborate a bit more. However, why I’m testing a pair of headphones for 649 Euros today is quickly explained: I’m currently testing an [...]
Thanks EA for bringing up, dusting off and polishing up a classic that was once THE game par excellence for me, because Dead Space already captivated me almost 15 years ago! In the truest sense of the word, because I sunk a lot of wonderful hours into it and was virtually mentally tied to the chair. And this enormous time span is of course also [...]
There are days when you would prefer not to get up at all. And there are devices that are still standing. Still. Like Toni’s flatulence station, which just ran Thor’s hammer….
To date, MaxSun has only launched one RTX 40 GPU, the RTX 4080 iCraft. The company’s RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 models have a lot more in common, as they both use a similar 3-slot design with 3 fans. But more importantly, they also have the same white cooler outfit. The iCraft MaxSun RTX 4070 Ti relies on the usual AD104 GPU with 7680 [...]
The fact that the MorePowerTool from Hellm and the Red BIOS Rebellion Team (R.B.R.T.) in the background for RDNA3 will no longer exist in the usual form has already been reported by some media, but somewhat unreflected and unfortunately with insufficient source information. It is important for us to note that the R.B.R.T is not a group of [...]
Today follows the last part of this little hobby project, but the end comes with a bang (metaphorically): Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a proud 32TB of storage. I had already teased the slightly extended version of the normal NAS, now it can finally show what it can do! The title already gave it away, for this system, which can also be used as a server [...]
No, it is not a contradiction, but transparent plastic tube (usually PVC) is cheap to buy, but really expensive in follow-up costs. Who can, prefer to go for hard tubing or such nice things as EPDM or Teflon, but there are also situations where you end up torn as to what it should be. And many a person is afraid to take anything other than PVC [...]
The speculations why NVIDIA introduces the AD103-301 on the RTX 4080 were quite manifold. It was rumored that the chip would ultimately be cheaper and could also save costs, and quite a few media and commentators in the forums already speculated about a price saving and of course also about the fact that the end customer would probably not get [...]
With the MP600 GS, Corsair rounds off the SSD portfolio in the solid mid-range as well and meanwhile also benefits a bit from the price drop. Starting at around 10 cents per GB, the price is now just under 8 cents. Corsair offers a somewhat more frugal M.2 SSD with PCIe 4.0 in the form of the MP600 GS, including the cheaper Phison E21T controller [...]
Before I mention more numbers about the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the cooler problem, as well as a few words about the supply chain and its failure in quality management, we also have to talk about quality management in general and quality assurance as well as quality control in particular today. Why? Because it helps to better understand the complex [...]
I had already reported recently that AMD, even without an official statement about the actual causes, has been offering both a return of the graphics card and an RMA with an exchange for a working card for a few days. We can also see the conditions again here in the (already published) first letter from AMD support. Thus, it should take a bit of [...]
Thermaltake is taking advantage of the currently running Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to introduce the latest addition to the Show and Shine section of their midi tower portfolio. In addition to four pre-installed 140mm RGB fans, the option of vertical GPU installation, and an optional LCD display, the Ceres 500 features generous perforations [...]
I deliberately waited until I could get congruent and plausible information through various information channels, which can now also shed some light after two to three weeks. While AMD’s support initially resisted even acknowledging the hotspot problem as such and described the 110 °C hotspot temperature as completely normal, the situation [...]
