Today we’re doing something completely different, because for once it’s not about gaming, which is getting boring by now, but about the new golden calf, namely AI. NVIDIA’s record result of 26.04 billion dollars in sales announced yesterday represents an increase of 262 percent, so it was simply time for a test. I am testing a [...]

What always amazes me is the nonchalance with which NVIDIA carelessly tolerates the use of unsuitable thermal pastes, when on the other hand they control their own board partners down to the last screw with the restrictive Green Light Program (GLP). But why doesn’t this work with the layer that sits between the GPU and the cooler? And [...]
Today’s case comes from the community and a lengthy investigation was necessary because there were actually two causes of the pollution at the same time. I will describe my process, the measurements and also the conclusions in chronological order and it also shows once again how important it is to know the connections and not just speculate [...]
Bearing in mind the adversities at the first attempt and the possible influence of the human factor, we have (hopefully) solved it better this time with expert support. Of course, there will be a detailed and transparent report on the exact development of the idea, the first prototypes and many empirical values, but today I don’t want to [...]
I have tested so many of these small computers with Intel’s N-series processors that I should actually be familiar with all the underlying circuit boards. In most cases, only a different housing or imprint is used from brand to brand, the innards remain the same. That’s why I now turn down requests, because there’s no need to [...]
Today’s test of the two BOYA dual channel wireless lavalier microphones BY XM6 S6 (USB-C) and BY XM6 S4/K4 (Lightning) has a very personal background and even a longer history. I will now briefly introduce this, as it is also a longer practical test. The only difference between the K4 and the S4 is the additional charging cradle [...]
When a memory manufacturer launches new DDR5 memory chips on the market, a review from us is naturally not far away. After Micron introduced the 24 Gbit Rev B ICs in the middle of last year, there are now more new additions almost a year later, but this time with 16 Gbit and initially only in products of their own brand, Crucial. The [...]
After we published Aris’ article about the power consumption of the Core i9-13900K in Cinebench 23 on Monday, I’m following up today with a larger program scope. And yes, I’m deliberately using a Z690 board because I also used it for the launch of Raptor Lake S and the subsequent refresh. That makes the comparison much easier [...]
There’s been a lot of talk lately about Intel’s potential degradation issues with the high-end 13th and 14th generation CPUs, so I thought I’d use Powenetics and test an i9-13900K under three different power settings: Standard, Performance and Extreme. Then there’s the “Insane” profile, where you set the 4096 [...]
Even though Intel is currently being celebrated for the new BIOS profiles for CPUs from Raptor Lake onwards on all the Z790 mainboards – has anyone ever asked themselves what will happen to the Z690 mainboards, which are also compatible? There’s nothing yet, nothing has been announced and you slowly get the impression that those [...]
With the Corsair MP700 PRO SE, the manufacturer does what MSI did with the SPATIUM M580 Frozr and uses the new expansion stage of the SSD design with the Phison 26 and fast Micron NAND for even more speed. I’m testing the coolerless 4 TB version today, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need a cooler. But you can choose from a 3rd [...]
Today is a public holiday in Saxony and, instead of the most serious technology, I present you with a pearl of esoteric cross-talk. Yes, it’s about the legendary water structurer according to Dr. Georges Lakhovsky, which is supposed to make the water softer and the buyer poorer at the same time. At least the latter works without scientific [...]
After we tested the DXP4800 Plus from Ugreen in detail a few days ago, the smaller 2-bay version should of course not be missing. For most users it doesn’t have to be a maximum of 96TB in RAID5, a simple and above all cheaper backup solution is sufficient. And this is exactly what Ugreen wants to offer with the DXP2800, so let’s take a [...]
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 [...]
The problem with the Intel desktop processors of the 13th and 14th generation, i.e. Raptor Lake-S and Raptor Lake-S-Refresh, is not getting any smaller and the bad news does not stop. At this point, one could almost believe that Intel has simply left the whole thing to the motherboard manufacturers and is hoping to divert attention away from its [...]
