With the K65 Plus Wireless, Corsair is taking the next step towards custom keyboards. PBT keycaps, interchangeable switches and the now common 75% layout are the ingredients of choice to gain a foothold in the highly competitive market. Read the test to find out whether they succeed. And yet another small keyboard that wants to torment me in [...]

No sooner have we finally caught up with the review of one of the most popular complete water cooling systems than there’s already a successor. So I won’t beat about the bush for long, here we go with the test report for version 3! And yes, Arctic obviously doesn’t just want to kill the CPUs with it, but also the competition with [...]
The Zen 5 CPU architecture will be a big step for AMD in 2024 as it will include several lines of CPU families including Granite Ridge “Ryzen Desktop”, Strix Point “Ryzen Mobile” and Torino “EPYC Server”. All of these CPU families will play an important role and it looks like these chips will enter TSMC [...]
I’m letting my friend Aris have his say again today and would be delighted if you would also support his plans. What he’s testing is sound, but it’s really hard to make a name for yourself in this age of colorful YouTube videos and dangerous TikTok half-truths. And so today we’re sharing our reach again and I’m [...]
Against excessive spam in the forum – blocking of mail providers, IP number ranges and country codes
You will no doubt have noticed that there have been an increasing number of attacks on the integrity of our forum and website in recent days. But what you can see publicly is unfortunately only the tiny tip of a big fat iceberg that is not only being pushed by the usual spammers but also by the cold warriors of redirected links. The forum in [...]
Recently, there have been reports that the Intel Core i9-14900KS processor is expected to be available in stores from March 2024. And yes, it looks like various retailers have already started preparing for the upcoming launch by listing and pricing the CPU in their official stores. One of the retail price lists for the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU [...]
If the adapter (doesn’t) bend and the power supply cable collides with the side of the housing, then good advice is often expensive. Especially afterwards. It is precisely for such cases that be quiet! offers a special 90° angle cable designed to avoid this problem. Today’s test will examine what the cable can and cannot do, but I [...]
Supercomputers have taken on a significant role in today’s world as the world increasingly moves towards AI developments. Integrating this technology into consumer applications requires far more than just ‘brain power’. This is where data centers like Eos come into play, providing the computing power needed to achieve the desired [...]
Apparently, AMD is not willing to wait for the successful implementation of the next generation RDNA 4 GPU in Linux. The company has recently released new patches that provide initial support for the architecture’s PSP (Platform Security Processor). PSP, which stands for “Platform Security Processor”, is a special security chip [...]
There are always those moments when you’d rather toss everything out and start from scratch. And no, it’s not about throwing things in, but rather throwing them out. So, no worries. As things grow, you quickly hit certain limits, and that’s precisely why, apart from the two articles, you’ve hardly seen anything from me this [...]
AMD’s Anti-Lag technology is AMD’s answer to NVIDIA’s Reflex. Both technologies aim to reduce input lag and improve system latency. These features are especially important when playing games with frame generation technologies such as AMD FSR 3 and NVIDIA DLSS 3. AMD’s solution offers easy activation in supported games as [...]
As we have tested various small systems from the AceMagic brand, among others, and have also included them in our “Mini-PC” category, there is unfortunately no way around today’s rather unpleasant report. Recently, several sites reported that viruses or malware were found on various mini PCs from AceMagic. And not [...]
The popular Ryzen Master Tool from AMD, which is often used by overclockers, has received a new update to version 2.13.0.2908. This version brings support for the recently released “Hawk Point” Ryzen 8000G APUs. This enhancement is particularly noteworthy in that it shows that APUs are in no way inferior to Ryzen 7000(X) CPUs in terms [...]
We already tested this processor a while ago, and today we have another comparable system from a different manufacturer. So let’s take a look to see if not only the availability and price could be improved compared to the EQ12. If you want to catch up on the article, you can do so here: Packaging and scope of delivery This mini PC is also [...]
Intel’s upcoming flagship processor, the Core i9-14900KS Limited Edition CPU, has leaked inside OCCT and impresses as a true beast in every way, including of course its drinking behavior. There are now quite a few reports about the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU sighting, as the chip has already been listed online at various retailers and alleged [...]
Today’s article comes from our community member big-maec and it shows how the community is also keen to experiment with various pads. The article will also show that sometimes it takes a little more work to really fix a problem permanently. The user’s problem child this time was the Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Ultra W OC 8G with [...]
It is common practice to migrate codebases from one project or programming language to another, as this allows developers to access a wider range of features and simplifies maintenance. In this case, however, there is an interesting development as Team Red has apparently accelerated its efforts to port the CUDA platform to run on AMD’s ROCm [...]
Yesterday I already documented in great detail and above all in practical terms the negative impact that ground loops can have in the PC and what this means for the individual ground paths. If you haven’t read this article yet, you should perhaps catch up on it quickly for a better understanding, because it explains a lot of things that [...]
Some things are accidental discoveries and are actually so trivial that nobody even bothers to question the current flows in the PC and, above all, to measure them. We only ever measure the 12-volt rails and are happy. But with connectors such as the 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 over 6+2 pin, the 8-pin EPS and the 24-pin mainboard connection, does exactly [...]
LG’s roadmap has enormous significance for the display industry, as the company has a significant influence on market trends. In 2024, LG plans to drive the markets forward with the refinement of existing technologies and the introduction of new customized solutions for specific target groups. The company intends to add WOLED panels as well [...]
