Today for the weekend we have some light food. A few weeks ago, I switched my testing software – for my monitor tests – from DisplayCal to Portrait Displays Calman Ultimate. I had written a dedicated article on this and afterwards there was quite a tense disagreement in the forum (to put it mildly). The topic was not the Calman [...]

Towards the end of last year, we first had the 280mm variant of this AiO water cooler in review, and now the manufacturer asked me to also include the version with a 360mm radiator in the rankings. Recently, a decent overall package of cooling performance, workmanship and warranty length was put together, but now the CPU temperature is to be [...]
Thermaltake is taking advantage of the currently running Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to introduce the latest addition to the Show and Shine section of their midi tower portfolio. In addition to four pre-installed 140mm RGB fans, the option of vertical GPU installation, and an optional LCD display, the Ceres 500 features generous perforations [...]
Today I finally reveal the secret of the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB GeForce RTX 4070 Ti in the form of the board partner card MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPRIM X 12GB, which is the smallest Ada card so far. The near-full AD104 is used, while the larger RTX 4080 is based on the much more trimmed AD103 and the RTX 4090 on the somewhat reduced AD102. New [...]
Core renovation, stripping, plastering and painting? No, you have not made a mistake in the website! Even if it seems at first glance richly offtopic, I would like to share a "small" heart project with you today. I turned a damp basement room into a modern office to work and test, gamble and hang out in and also documented the whole [...]
To be able to cover the higher TDP classes of processors in the future, I upgraded my testbench from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 9 3950X. However, so that the compact or budget coolers are not completely overtaxed, testing is done in three stages. This article serves as a reference and basis for future comparisons so that tested air and water [...]
Of course, you can discuss BIOS problems with the changed telemetry of the new RDNA3 cards, faulty thermal sensors in an alleged amok mode or even tangible mechanical problems, but in the end only AMD is currently able to give a comprehensive and honest answer. But you can certainly look for reasons as an outsider and approach the [...]
A GeForce RTX 4090 FE is not only expensive, but also still highly sought-after. The original air cooler is almost oversized and as a buyer you hardly have a valid reason to disassemble and rebuild this collector’s item. Well, almost, because the weight and space requirements of this card are the other side of the coin, although the board [...]
What a lightweight wireless mouse could possibly have in common with the VW Golf? Both are above-average cars that can do everything, but can’t set any absolute highlights. Whether the MM712 with its average price-performance ratio and modest configuration can also become a bestseller, you can read in the review. Lightweight mice are a trend [...]
Due to the high popularity and the many requests, we are following up today with a small follow-up on the Fractal Design North case. Many users have asked “does this work thermally with a large graphics card?” We got to the bottom of this question, installed a Radeon 6900XT without further ado and Fractal was even able to provide us [...]
In today’s end-of-year workvlog, I’ll show you another very special build. Because even if the Lian Li o11 is now more of a mouthful than the tongue after a stair sprint to the 12th floor, it’s still not enough. Floor – with a little effort during installation, even a mass product becomes a real eye-catcher again. This [...]
Today’s article goes into detail about fan control software and a few important connection basics. The following three concrete topics will be the subject of today’s article: A small overview of various programs for fan control, a tutorial on, program FanControl and a tutorial on creating fan curves. This is a continuation of what Igor [...]
The Sharkoon Rev300 Case Review – A different design with plenty of space for a custom Water Cooling
Today is Christmas and we don’t spill the beans – we make a killing. Actually, there is only a boring case review with cheap hardware that everyone knows. Wait and see: Because you can always find true price-performance winners at Sharkoon, such as the Sharkoon Light² 200, the PureWriter RGB, the SGH50 and much more. And as I was [...]
At the beginning of the year, Cooler Master introduced a new series of AiO water coolers with the FLUX series, and we already had the 240mm radiator model in review. Now we would also like to have the 360mm variant tested here again, but there is also a first look at the performance of the soon to be released “30 Years Cooler Master” [...]
Does it really always have to be the fastest data medium on paper and what do older SATA devices in the form of a 2.5″ SSD or a 3.5″ hard drive perform? Do we really need the latest product pushed on us by marketing, or can it be a few levels lower? You can argue about the sense and nonsense of the products, but there are still enough [...]
You probably remember my Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headset, which simply destroyed itself in storage completely without use and which I had as article published last week. Being a sustainable person, I fixed the part today at my expense after having to wait a few days for the parts. The test will have to prove whether it was worth it – on [...]
In the meantime, I have become a convinced Ultrawide gamer myself. I’m even no longer so prejudiced against the topic of Curved. Therefore, the ASUS ROG Strix XG349C fits quite well into my test program. I can understand that Ultrawide and Curved are not for everyone. But as we all know, thinking outside the box is supposed to broaden your [...]
Reviews of so-called “gaming chairs” always cause heated discussions. Arguments such as: “These chairs are not ergonomic”, “not good for the back”, “poorly processed” followed by a wide variety of opinions and recommendations are preprogrammed there. More and more recently, the Recaro Rae has been [...]
With the Seasonic MagFlow 120 mm, Seasonic wants to reorient the market a little bit. Simple, high-performance and above all RGB-free, and the most important feature is a magnetically clickable daisy chain without superfluous cable assembly. Lian Li, we are coming (now too)! Click & Run for even more fun? Of course, acceptance will show [...]
I admit, I’m plenty pissed off. Why, that is actually also quickly explained. I oute myself today once as a private headphone collector and all the parts that I do not actively use or have ready, go together and in best harmony in the original packaging in my warehouse. I should note that this room also houses headphones in the four-digit [...]
