What actually happens when you forcefully and cunningly slow down a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which swallows up to 500 watts in ultra HD, to 300 watts? With only 60% of the consumed power, the question arises how many percentage points of performance are lost when 40 percentage points less energy is needed. Where does it place its self in the end as [...]
The question of what material the radiator is made of comes up again and again among the articles about AiO water coolers. And the answer is actually always: aluminum. Today I can finally give the answer that is secretly desired, because Alphacool combines here parts from the custom loop segment with the simplicity of an AiO. What makes the [...]
I had already tested the MSI SPATIUM M480 with 2TB capacity, but now MSI has relaunched this SSD – with a trendy “Play” abbreviation in the name and the possibility to also install this storage device in a Sony PS5. The SPATIUM M480 and M480 Play also let it rip, because a good abd fast controller for the 2 TB NAND memory [...]
Is the 600 watts really the upper end or where are the tolerance ranges for exceeding the standards for a short bursts? And why does the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti suddenly show a completely different behavior under full load? I will answer exactly these questions today, because the review of the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has (probably not only) made me [...]
Today we continue with our Z690 motherboard reviews, with the Asus Maximus Z690 Apex. Not only the naming convention has changed compared to the predecessor models, because besides DDR5, PCIe 5.0 and the LGA1700 socket, there are unfortunately also a few teething troubles that I would like to address in advance, if not have to. Preface: Silicon [...]
We had already taken a look at good, and above all affordable, sitting with the new entry-level gaming chair SGS20 (link to the article: here) from Sharkoon at the beginning of January. Today we’re going up the ladder a price range and see if the Sharkoon SGS30 is worth the extra €80 in the end. Of course, you can’t compete with [...]
Actually, everyone had already checked off the Ampere generation, but then came CES 2022 and Jensen with the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. One can really argue about the sense or nonsense of this card in the full version of the GA102 and the high-energy implementation, but it exists and would like to be tested and evaluated. And while we are at it, this [...]
What follows is a solution to a mix of a homegrown problem, weekend project, and experimentation. I've summarized the results and how to get there in this article, in case anyone else falls right into that niche. But even if not, it should still be interesting for the rest. Problem Any good problem solving should start with an analysis and [...]

With the XP, Roccat sends the latest offspring of the Kone series into the race. The mouse is equipped with the 19,000 DPI Owl-Eye sensor, has 15 buttons + Easy-Shift thumb button and now also has the colorful AIMO 3D RGB lighting on board. Read what else the rodent can do and how it performs in practice in our review. That ROCCAT’s latest [...]
We recently already tested the Dominator Platinum RGB modules from Corsair, but not yet in the SKU with 6200 Mbps and Hynix M-Die ICs. Today, that is changing. Besides the usual tests, a teardown and overclocking, we also compare the modules with the mentioned Samsung B-Die based variant and RAM sticks from other manufacturers, but with identical [...]
I admit that the test today was mainly due to my curiosity to see how the new measuring station performs in practice. Furthermore, the 99 euro ComfoBuds Mini from 1MORE are not pure in-ears (which I don’t like at all), but rather loose-fitting buds where you don’t have to fuss too much with adjusting all the silicone plugs. 1MORE [...]

What do you need for such a fancy project? Actually, it's not that much, as long as it's just the water cooling parts. These are normal off-the-shelf components. The most important and, unfortunately, the most expensive component is, of course, its own house with a cool basement. That will then probably also be the exclusion criterion for [...]
Due to the great response to our article "On the hard BIOS-Tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash", in which we were already able to clarify what Nvidia does not give us this time, our author lays again and even put himself in front of the camera! And it doesn't always have to [...]

Can Intel’s Xe Max, i.e. our dedicated DG1 card in the form of the GUNNIR Iris Xe MAX Index V2, actually do light workstation stuff? You don’t have to test Office application, for that it’s quite enough. But what about lighter work in the productive field, which can still be done quite well with AMD’s Radeon Pro W6400, for [...]
