Sometimes the best methods fail on the largest surface and that's why I once looked more intensively at the optimal method. Now with "Try and Error" you can apply paste again and again and then measure it elaborately, because you don't see how the paste actually spreads with the cooler applied. Well, really not? Me already! The [...]
I always have a hard time with superlatives, especially in the area of gaming headsets. Almost always for a good reason, and very rarely in a positive sense. But if exceptions confirm the rule, then today is a state of exception. Of course I don’t want to spoil too much, but I have to point out that it’s really worth reading on [...]
Few people know that Logitech is actually behind the Ultimate Ears label. Whether one now feels this as an advantage or a burden is up to everyone. The whole Bluetooth products are now all somehow the same and you hardly see any really significant differences in the end. At least not at first sight, at the second. With an EIA of 150 euros [...]
Tonight I received a video showing the new MSI MEG X570 Unify from MSI in the build-up. Still without soundtrack and more info, so fresh from the 3D designer. This video doesn't even have the MSI marketing, which paid for the creation safely. And since I've never had a case like this before, I just cheekily put it on the net in advance [...]
Less is more? At least with Wi-Fi, none of this applies and anyone who, like me, has his rooms in an old, listed house, can never have enough. Also in the case of technology. Of course, it is precisely with this that an enormous amount of money can be sunk, and it is therefore all the more important to be targeted. That's why I want to give [...]

The forfeited winnings will [...]
There’s one thing you really have to admit to Sapphire: when it comes to cooling, hardly anybody can fool them when it comes to AMD cards. Provided you are willing to pay a certain surcharge for this service compared to their normal cards like Pulse. The Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro Plus tested today shows one thing very clearly: weight and [...]
After the first minutes with the new MSI RX 5700 XT a déjà-vu attacked me, because I suddenly had the legendary MSI R9 390 X 8G in mind again. Fast thing, a bit hot and by no means a despiser of food, on the contrary. Well, as you know, power comes from fuel and that’s why MSI has aligned itself to it. The concept to bring the fastest RX [...]
In the end, it was only a matter of time before the effect I leaked of the revaluation of the RTX entry-level models with the artificially braked non-A chip of certain Nvidia cards, such as a GeForce RTX 2080 in the form of a suitable BIOS in the wild and this firmware also appears in the BIOS collection of Techpowerup. If you would like to know [...]
The asymmetrical arrangement of the chiplets on the one side and the I/O die on the other side of the Ryzen CPUs of the third generation has it quite in itself. In a first video I had already captured the heating of the CPU as a top view in a special infrared video, which you should have seen before for a better understanding. One of the findings [...]
An exclusive video of the warm-up process shows a Ryzen of the 3. generation and the two hotspots. The existence of a thermal protection circuit of the I/O Die would remain to be questioned. The CPU should be used at approx. 120 degrees just switch off, but the risk of a counter-test was too high for me. And how to mount the water block for a [...]
Sapphire's first Navi card is with the Pulse actually the entry model, if one follows the previous nomenclature of the manufacturer. This also entails compromises and today we will sound out which and what this means for the customer.
First of all, the part is really quiet! And does such a compensating container have to be boring? Sure, the part polarizes and you don't have to find everything beautiful just because it lights up. But if you've always wanted something different, give yourself the ball, just like me. I put the knob under the lab table for portable cooling [...]
RTX On and Cyberpunk, a hotly debated feature story. The game is already reaching the margins of the game, about which other providers can only marvel, so that the expectations are of course immensely high. Of course, you will have to deliver, otherwise the disappointment will be all the greater later on.
You can see it as you like, but the latest quarterly report from Jon Peddie Research (JPR) shows once again that it was a very positive quarter for AMD, despite all the supposed or obvious bottlenecks. In order to be able to classify and evaluate this correctly, however, one must first look at the entire market. Now Jon Peddie Research is, of [...]
If you are interested in mechanical keyboards in this day and age, you will have heard of Cherry. Cooler Master launches a mechanical low profile keyboard that is less voluminous than other keyboards with normal mechanical keys thanks to the new Cherry MX low profile switches.
In the meantime, we have arrived at version 1.1.0 and there are several new functions and changes to the interface. New is the "Save" button, because you can now load your own (or foreign) settings files in addition to BIOSen, which you saved with the also new "Save" button beforehand. This makes it possible to create various [...]
Actually, I only wanted to compare three of the cheapest motherboards with an X570 chipset and a Ryzen 5 3600X, but I quickly found out that in the end you read out contradictory things that are not plausible and cannot be explained with logic. Therefore today the first attempt of a cause investigation and clarification takes place, however, with [...]
The new white paper on AMD's RDNA Gaming architecture is available and linked for reading. The white paper includes a technical analysis of the "Navi" architecture—the basis of graphics cards—including the new Radeon RX 5700 Series GPUs. The RDNA architecture has been optimized while providing backward compatibility with the GCN [...]
Active euthanasia is highly controversial, only that many end users deliberately hide it when choosing the motherboard. After a thick CPU and graphics card, the space for the substructure is often limited and you reach thoughtlessly into the cheap shelf and wonder about barbecue products of the unsightly kind.
