The Raijintek Samos RX 5700 XT, which I tested today, is so new that it is not even listed at the dealers. My test sample has made it on an unofficial way from Asia directly to the laboratory, so that I can already present you exclusively a product that will only be officially available for purchase in the coming days. I already feel so slowly [...]

Let's start our little window story in 1985, the year of release of the first version of Windows. Of course, our picture series does not claim to be complete, but we are of course happy to be able to show pictures from the absolute beginning times. Logo? Logo! Windows from the first hour. And fitting for a lot of mice: the first Microsoft [...]
Let's be honest: I was really looking forward to the game. With Ghost Recon Wildlands I have already spent a lot of my rather scarce free time in the past – voluntarily and really motivated. That's when the new game came to me just right. Or maybe not? I'm still really at a sway, whether all this has been mixed together [...]
I deliberately waited a bit to not only press speculative data into a news article, but also to come up with some more detailed content. AMD and Nvidia of course continue their small-scale launch war as usual, with one leading and the other following. So good, so well known. But what further information do we have in the meantime? Of course, I [...]
Corsair has also recently entered the water plans sector with the Hydro-X series, offering selected products (all manufactured by experienced finishers). I had already tested a part in a PC project, today the GPU water block has to believe in it. Cold maker or blender? That's what I already know now and you after reading the review. And yes [...]
The way is the goal, but you could also say abbreviated learning curve. The Alphacool ice block XPX Aurora Pro Plexi Digital RGB is certainly such a typical product for this genre, because it combines at the end a probably previously underestimated Alphacool ice block XPX Pro 1U with addressable RGB and a modified exterior. This may well please if [...]
Sometimes the best methods fail on the largest surface and that's why I once looked more intensively at the optimal method. Now with "Try and Error" you can apply paste again and again and then measure it elaborately, because you don't see how the paste actually spreads with the cooler applied. Well, really not? Me already! The [...]
I always have a hard time with superlatives, especially in the area of gaming headsets. Almost always for a good reason, and very rarely in a positive sense. But if exceptions confirm the rule, then today is a state of exception. Of course I don’t want to spoil too much, but I have to point out that it’s really worth reading on [...]
Few people know that Logitech is actually behind the Ultimate Ears label. Whether one now feels this as an advantage or a burden is up to everyone. The whole Bluetooth products are now all somehow the same and you hardly see any really significant differences in the end. At least not at first sight, at the second. With an EIA of 150 euros [...]
Less is more? At least with Wi-Fi, none of this applies and anyone who, like me, has his rooms in an old, listed house, can never have enough. Also in the case of technology. Of course, it is precisely with this that an enormous amount of money can be sunk, and it is therefore all the more important to be targeted. That's why I want to give [...]
There’s one thing you really have to admit to Sapphire: when it comes to cooling, hardly anybody can fool them when it comes to AMD cards. Provided you are willing to pay a certain surcharge for this service compared to their normal cards like Pulse. The Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro Plus tested today shows one thing very clearly: weight and [...]
After the first minutes with the new MSI RX 5700 XT a déjà-vu attacked me, because I suddenly had the legendary MSI R9 390 X 8G in mind again. Fast thing, a bit hot and by no means a despiser of food, on the contrary. Well, as you know, power comes from fuel and that’s why MSI has aligned itself to it. The concept to bring the fastest RX [...]
The asymmetrical arrangement of the chiplets on the one side and the I/O die on the other side of the Ryzen CPUs of the third generation has it quite in itself. In a first video I had already captured the heating of the CPU as a top view in a special infrared video, which you should have seen before for a better understanding. One of the findings [...]
Sapphire's first Navi card is with the Pulse actually the entry model, if one follows the previous nomenclature of the manufacturer. This also entails compromises and today we will sound out which and what this means for the customer.
If you are interested in mechanical keyboards in this day and age, you will have heard of Cherry. Cooler Master launches a mechanical low profile keyboard that is less voluminous than other keyboards with normal mechanical keys thanks to the new Cherry MX low profile switches.
Actually, I only wanted to compare three of the cheapest motherboards with an X570 chipset and a Ryzen 5 3600X, but I quickly found out that in the end you read out contradictory things that are not plausible and cannot be explained with logic. Therefore today the first attempt of a cause investigation and clarification takes place, however, with [...]
Active euthanasia is highly controversial, only that many end users deliberately hide it when choosing the motherboard. After a thick CPU and graphics card, the space for the substructure is often limited and you reach thoughtlessly into the cheap shelf and wonder about barbecue products of the unsightly kind.
During testing with various X570 motherboards and the Ryzen 2 and Ryzen 3 models, I noticed that there are considerable differences between the water temperature and the die temperature (Delta), even though I have set a fixed power limit of 95 watts in the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO). Counter-tests as a measurement at the EPS connector [...]
Powercolor showed us the way with the Silent-BIOS, today we follow with a tutorial for everyone that is suitable for everyday use: no more BIOS flashing and no more Wattman tricks, but a comprehensible manual that is easy to implement with our free MorePowerTool...
What’s the best way to annoy your competitors? By impressively showing who has the longest and greatest. And if you are a bit more subdued when it comes to price and can score points with features, then a product almost sells itself. Too much praise in advance? Honour to whom honour is due, but you’re right. That should be included in [...]
