Alphacool Ice Block ES Acetal GeForce RTX 2080/2080 Ti (2070 & 2080 Super) Review – GPU Water Block Defined Differently

There are now GPU water blocks like sand by the sea. To then fish out exactly that one grain, which still offers an informative added value, because it e.g. is also completely different in design, naturally becomes heavier with time (and the increasing amount of products). You're looking forward to it like a little snow king, when you happen [...]


Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 Water Cooled – more boost and performance through modification even without manual overclocking

Everybody can cool with air and honestly: the adrenaline rush when you take apart and rebuild a card that costs several thousand euros is not to be despised. But the basic idea behind the whole water action is actually quite simple. How much more clocks and thus also performance can be squeezed out of a Quadro RTX 6000 by the better cooling alone [...]


igor’sLAB investigates heatspreaders of CPUs and radiator floors with real high-tech – new insights guaranteed! | Reader action

I had already mentioned in the article "Intel Core i9 vs. AMD Ryzen 9: How convex or concave are the current heatspreaders really and what are the consequences?" roughly torn, where I see the problem of the so-called IHS.

Raijintek EOS 360 RBW AiO Compact Water Cooling in Test – Cheaper, Colorful and Much Better Cooled Can Hardly Be Quieter | Bargain Check

The last generation of the AiO now sends Raijintek into the orcus and delights the bargain-hunting PC-Bastler with the EOS 360 RBW, which is also available as a 240 and which would actually be quite sufficient. But the customer still seems to like to have the longest, which is why it was possible to set off more longer models from the Orcus. A [...]


Intel Core i9 vs. AMD Ryzen 9: How convex or concave are the current heatspreaders really and what are the consequences? | Labs

We already know it from many (also mine) articles about cooling, thermal paste and heatspreader: really plan is really nothing. And while the quality of the radiator floors has really improved over the years, one would finally have to question the current CPUs again, or not? That's exactly what I did in a small test setup today, because my [...]

What is the conversion to a usable water block for the graphics card worth and what is the purpose of this? If you want it quiet, unobtrusive and cool, are you looking for a high-performance cooler for social media-ready limit overclocking or just a conspicuous bling-bling eye willow with a cooling side effect? Everything doesn't go into a [...]

At its core, however, the MasterLiquid 240, which was released at the beginning of 2017, remains identical with identical technical data.

GPU water block fished and blanched up to 2.2 GHz: Alphacool Aurora GPX-A RX 5700 XT for the Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+| Mr. ProtoTYPE

The fact that I am given prototypes, PVT or evaluation samples in advance by various production products is not new. Also, with a little luck, you can pick up one or the other good piece in advance at the OEM, which you know so well, without having to beg the customer in question big. Be it as it is – something always works and it is never [...]
