The title has already betrayed it, today it goes times in a completely different direction. Not only thematically, but also locally. Out of the quiet test chamber, out into the wide world! Well, at least into the garden. Maybe you already noticed it in the topics of my last reviews, over the hot summer I try to avoid the reviews of coolers [...]

Today I’ll take a look at a monitor that is often recommended by YouTubers as a cheap entry-level gaming monitor. The monitor only costs about 110 Euros when new. I was able to buy the monitor for 75 euros (still with foil on it) almost new via classifieds. I myself don’t need the Samsung Full HD monitor – also known as [...]
Even 10 years ago, I was already taking apart graphics cards and looking for causes of anomalies. At that time, of course, I still wrote in “we” form, because the big editorial offices almost always demand the subordination of one’s own ego to the conformist mass of employees. Just in case anyone was wondering, that was the way [...]
The year is 2023, I’ve knocked over my energy drink again early in the morning, and technological progress has provided us with a wealth of groundbreaking inventions in the meantime, from self-driving cars to long-lasting cell phone batteries to 3D-printed pizzas. But now it’s time for you to focus on a completely unexpected product on [...]
Remnant 2 is another Souls game, and it actually does everything right that Souls games do well. It’s challenging, rewarding, and offers a variety of worlds to explore and battles to fight. But it’s also a game that will frustrate you from time to time. You’ll die, and die again, and die again. But when you finally manage to [...]
We have already tested several inexpensive in-ears from the Chinese manufacturer SoundPeats, and so far they have all scored with a decent price-performance ratio and rich bass. New models are tirelessly introduced to the market and with the Engine 4, enough new features have been added that I dared to take another look. To the manufacturer itself [...]
We recently reviewed this manufacturer’s new all-black flagship, but today we’re moving more in the direction of the upper mid-range, and it’s also allowed to have some colorful lighting. A decent cooling performance and still an unproblematic size for most mid towers is promised, so let’s check it out together! Here we go [...]
I admit, the NZXT Relay Gaming Headset was a bit of a technical challenge, so I had to do a bit of detective work while taking measurements. I will test the appropriate Relay SwitchMix later, along with the also available 2.1 system, because the basis of this small acoustic ecosystem is and remains the headset. And if that is no good, then you [...]
Since people keep asking: Today’s test will once again show in measurement series how to properly apply a purpose-built thermal paste on large GPUs. The selection of a suitable paste and the appropriate method determine success or failure. And I’m not just making this up as I go along, because much of what is shown here in a manual [...]
Product copying of major brand audio equipment in China is now a sad reflection of global challenges. In recent years, the copying and replication of major brand audio equipment by Chinese manufacturers has attracted worldwide attention and also a great deal of anger. This practice, also known as “cloning,” has drawn both highly [...]
Even if I can’t hold a candle to Alexander’s grandiose renovation of his basement, I was at least able to please a good friend and conjure up an equally fresh setup for his computer in the freshly moved apartment. Height-adjustable desk, matching monitor holder, high-quality chair and generous mouse pad as well as protective mat for [...]
Today we start the beta phase of our first interactive fan database and offer for the first time a variety of real measurement results compared to the manufacturer data in an interactive database, which allows comparisons of application scenarios and speeds that did not exist so far. Since there is currently no source that offers realistic and [...]
ATX 3.0 and 1000 Watt for under 160 Euro? Another reason to let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, because he not only tested this power supply intensively, but also officially certified it via his company Cybenetics. There you can also find the equipment and the test setup. Since it is surely interesting [...]
We recently tested an AMD model from this manufacturer, and now we have a small Intel system after that. How the mobile CPU, which is now a good 2 years old, performs, you can read in the following article. Click here for a mini-PC with AMD processor: Packaging and scope of delivery The small cardboard box is very plain, with only the company name [...]
Today, for the first time, an AiO water cooler from Lian Li finds its way onto my testbench, a really interesting model. By the way, Lian Li has also changed the OEM, so all-clear. Asetek instead of Apaltek. And so that it doesn’t get too exciting, we’ll start without further ado! Packaging and scope of delivery Dark printed and in a [...]
I recently had an article where I successfully used Thermal Putty on a graphics card. It is ultimately a highly viscous thermal paste (often referred to as thermal adhesive). Thermal Putty is a highly interesting (and often misunderstood in DIY) material used between electronic components and heat sinks to improve heat transfer. Traditional [...]
Update from 19.07.2023 – 02:30 pm Since the Cryo Fuze is supposed to be mainly composed of aluminium (I will, of course, not disclose the actual recipe for certain reasons), the absence of any aluminium traces over so many measurement points is indeed interesting and an important finding for Cooler Master. In consultation with the [...]
Yesterday I already discussed the performance projection for an Arrow Lake S CPU, today we have the matching base in the form of the LGA1851 socket. Because Raptor Lake for Intel’s LGA 1700 desktop platform is already on the market and an update is planned for the fall. However, this socket will not be continued after that. It is planned [...]
You would think that Windows 11 automatically includes at least the most important standard drivers. The WLAN is active and there might even be an Ethernet cable in the LAN port. You feel well prepared and then you get to a point where you really wonder if they smoked some special weed in Redmond. I have rarely seen so much stupid ignorance and [...]
Today I’m standing in for Alexander, who usually tests the peripherals here. I also have to get out of my full-size keyboard comfort zone, but that won’t be difficult in the end, since this is an objective review and not a bath in your private oasis of well-being. So let’s take a look together with the necessary distance at what [...]
