With the Xtreme SKUs, ADATA XPG expands the existing Spectrix D50 RAM portfolio with two products in the high-end segment with actually extreme XMP clock rates of 4800 and 5000 MT/s. And to spoil a little in advance, for once not Samsung B-Die, but SK Hynix DJR serves as the basis for this flagship RAM. We will take a close look at whether this [...]

If you are in urgent need of a new computer, you have to put up with the extreme prices on the one hand and the limited availability of the components on the other. It’s annoying, but it’s not likely to change anytime soon. Because you can’t always choose the time of an upgrade, or the conditions never really fit 100% anyway [...]
The fact that graphics cards cause considerable load peaks I could already prove impressively 6 years ago for the first time – including all the resulting problems and measures for the power suppliers. In the meantime, a lot has been done, of course also in the interest of the end customers. And yet, there are always situations where a power [...]
The fact that you should use your RAM at least in dual-channel if possible has fortunately become widely accepted in the industry today. However, unlike channels, ranks are still talked about very rarely, if at all. Many publications, some of them very well known, prefer instead to talk about “sticks” or modules affecting performance [...]
New year, new luck! Due to various inquiries and great interest in the topic, I have put together a detailed UV guide for you here, since I had a small craft project pending anyway. The connection with the theory was a logical follow. In addition, as often requested, I explain the individual functions in the MPT (MorePowerTool) again explicitly [...]
What happens when Schubert’s trout goes down the Oehlbach acoustically grandiose and takes the invested 20 Euros right along with it? That’s exactly what I thought when I spontaneously ordered an Oehlbach PureClock to solve my nasty chirp problem and wasn’t really sure whether such a passive stick was pure snake oil or a passable [...]
Since even many high-priced 3D printers still rely on SD cards or USB sticks for transferring GCODE files, the constant running back and forth is a bit tedious, depending on the location of the plastic melter. How this “problem” can be solved with a Raspberry Pi, you will learn in the following article. But before you start full of [...]
The heat-conducting paste business is a very profitable one, it was, is and will probably remain so. But what does the K-value, which PR likes so much, really mean? We'll calculate what temperature gains or losses you can or must really expect.
The reason behind and restrictions Cyberpunk 2077 sets new standards for graphics and therefore hardware. But not only the graphics card and CPU, but also the RAM can play an important role for the FPS, as we recently found out when testing the Patriot Viper Steel RGB for the first time with Cyberpunk as benchmark. In today’s review [...]
The new Big Navi cards are released and the 6800/6800 XT and the new one recently celebrated their debut. Our community member Gurdi couldn’t help but take a closer look at the AMD cards this time as well. That’s exactly why I let Gurdi continue writing, because it’s his user review, in which he invested a lot of time himself and [...]
Overview and requirements You know what that’s like? In and around your PC there are dozens of hard disks, on each one there are different files, you never find anything and space is always limited anyway. Now, you could just buy a ready-made NAS from, for example Synology or Qnap, but that’s not an option for small wallets [...]
Even though AMD has solved the determination of Tjunction (“hotspot temperature”) differently with the new Radeon graphics cards (Navi21) and measures and calculates much more widely, it is precisely this temperature that is the linchpin for telemetry. This in turn means that the applied clock rates including voltages, the fan control [...]
Yeah, we did it again, and better this time. Especially since our forum member Gurdi probably won one of the main prizes in the silicone lottery, as his RX 6800 in reference design shows very impressively what can be done if you had a lucky hand with the order button. I can spoil it in advance, because his card reached an average stable and above [...]
Would you like a little more or a little less? The overclocking limit of the Radeon RX 6800 XT isn’t particularly large, so the cheaper RX 6800 already looks much more interesting. But you won’t be able to pull out any trees here either, because AMD is now following the example of NVIDIA and is completely sealed off with the [...]
Currently, there are many patches, new BIOS versions and various minor teething troubles with selected motherboard and CPU configurations, for example regarding the maximum achievable fabric clock rate. Unfortunately, most people quickly forget about a problem that could disturb the new Holy Trinity of motherboard, CPU and graphics card: certain [...]
Of course, you’ll be amazed if, for example, three supposedly identical cards from one manufacturer have completely different temperatures or fan speeds and this is then reflected very similarly in the reviews of colleagues, which are supposedly contradictory. No, it’s not that the editors don’t know what they are doing [...]
This article is the premiere of the big topic 3D printing on IgorsLab, so I want to offer an easy start for beginners and interested people. I myself have been working with FDM printers since about the beginning of 2018 and own two different models with many tinkerings around them. What follows will be a mixture of generally important basic [...]
The idea of testing power supplies not only synthetically on the chroma, but simply once in the usual setting of a possible user, is actually not even that absurd, but usually fails because of the amount of test objects. And where do you get these power supplies after all? From the manufacturer! And in order for him to overcome exactly this step [...]
Oops, I did it again… Okay, I’m not blonde and I don’t jump around the universe like a ball lightning on ecstasy, but sometimes you wonder what’s being packed together in the individual factories. Good for those who have enough pad reserves. Shall we try again? Which means that the card literally screams for it. But [...]
I am as coreZair in various forums and as 3DAndStuff on my YouTube channel. But today I am writing this article for you as a guest author. In addition to my YouTube videos, I would like to share the results of some of my research with you. The XMG Apex 15, a notebook that is equipped with an AM4 desktop socket and supports current Zen2 desktop [...]
