The occasion is sad enough, but today I would like to let my friend Yuri speak, who despite the siege and large-scale destruction of his hometown Kharkiv by the fascist invaders under the orders of Putin has not lost his courage. He has taken the time, despite all adverse circumstances and dangers, to address to you, as readers of this site and [...]
The new, final version 1.3.9 of the MorePowerTool offers, in addition to new functions, of course, again the thoroughly revised engine, which significantly simplifies the use of the tool. Even though the file size has increased somewhat as a result, the direct implementation of various libraries directly in the tool also offers many advantages [...]
Let’s assume we purchase a new laptop and naturally want to treat it to nothing but the best. And we blindly trust the suppliers’ marketing and various forum reports about how great liquid metal performs in laptops. With purchase prices around 1000 euros and more, you don’t want to splurge. The 80 euro surcharge is no longer an [...]

So, finally the time has come and today I can show you detailed benchmarks with the GUNNIR Iris Xe MAX Index V2 – Intel’s DG1, which can offer a first taste of Intel’s ARC Alchemist series, which is based on the newer DG2 GPU family. However, this is not yet on the market, so this first freely available retail card of the DG1 has [...]

The fact, that the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti with 16 GB memory expansion has now been cancelled without replacement, was already suspected and was also reported by many media. The reasons are likely to be the unstable and problematic GDDR6X with 2 GB size. Here, it can be assumed that Micron has made a technical mistake, because besides the instability [...]
I had discussed it last week and also thoroughly tested how the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING OC WATERFORCE WB can behave in the water cooling loop. The problems around the aluminum used and the rather rustic build quality including a holey anodizing were also and primarily based on the amount of complaints and hints received and a detailed [...]
The TD300 Mesh is Cooler Master’s new mATX case and thus the little brother of the popular TD500 Mesh ATX. The name also hides why the case is so popular, because with its mesh front, the case offers good ventilation and promises a lot of fresh air inside the case. And thus a better heat exchange. The TD300 Mesh is available in two versions: [...]
Intel’s ARC Alchemist series, which is based on the DG2 GPU family, is of course not yet on the market, but the introduction of the DG1 as a retail card has certainly aroused desires. After all, the DG1 GPUs were initially only available for software developers(see our first review), but found their way finally also into the discrete DIY [...]
While with Intel’s previous Z590 generation MSI’s Unify-X was the last of the motherboards I tested, we turn the tables on this generation with the new Alder Lake CPUs. The MSI MEG Z690 Unify-X, as it is called with its full name, is a motherboard with a strong focus on overclocking and only 2 DIMM slots, but with its price it can also [...]

With the Spatium M450, MSI also enters the path of cheaper NVMe SSDs with PCIe 4.0, which do not rely on the vulnerable and unloved QLC flash memory, but on a new, simplified concept. This is because certain additional costs still stand in the way of the large distribution of PCIe 4.0 SSDs. However, in order to be able to reduce the costs not only [...]
Due to a given occasion, I now even have to add a third part to my water cooling investigations. It will unfortunately show what happens when you combine (without knowing it) an aluminum cooler with copper components and I will specifically question why the result turns out so extreme, as in this case. Of course, you also have to differentiate the [...]

I did not make it easy for myself, but worked on this topic for almost half a year. In the first article last year I had already written about clogged radiators and tubes, defective pumps and the theory behind the coolants on their additives. After a very complex analysis with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and with the help of energy [...]
