The test system In our article "White and Fast: KFA2 Hall Of Fame Extreme DDR4-4000 in Test" we have already seen that the Core i7-8700K and the Ryzen 7 2700X benefit from an increase in memory frequency and also offer increased CPU and game performance. However, we also wanted to know whether this also applies to a Ryzen APU and its [...]

Important preliminary remark: More accurate evaluation of the measurements First of all, I have to put forward something that has been close to my heart for a long time. The measurements i make here in the studio and whose curves I have always smoothed to half an octave for a better understanding of the core message about so many [...]
Like the Gigabyte RX Vega 56 Gaming OC , the Sapphire RX Vega 56 Pulse is more of a rational card, but equipped with completely different genes. Because in addition to the ultra-short board, we also find a very remarkable cooler here, which will be discussed later. Vapor-Chamber? That is precisely what does not exist this time. But interestingly [...]
Who has once got used to a XX(X)L-Mousepad with, say, at least 80 x 30 or 90 x 40 cm, has learned to appreciate the comfort of practically no longer existing edges and is also happy that the key mechanic no longer penetrates so loudly to the foundations , he will never want to have anything else again. It's just stupid that all these great [...]
With the ROG Strix Fusion 300, Asus offers customers a 130-euro headset. But is the headset really worth the proud entry price? We listened carefully and measured it. As always, light and shadow are close together.
What is white, fast and in its class still (with) the cheapest offer? With the KFA2 Hall Of Fame Extreme DDR4-4000, you can not only visually finely upgrade your system, but also accelerate it. What this in the Praxi... Memory Tests Intel The nice thing, of course, is that we can fully extend the clock rates of the memory kit. The question [...]
With the ROG GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Strix Gaming, Asus puts an interpretation of the GP104, which has been slimmed down into the GTX 1070 Ti, on the customer shelf, which actually does almost everything right and nothing wrong. Of course, this is also reflected in the price, but we can... The rather tidy-looking board does not hide any secrets. Power [...]
Much does not always help much - but on the other hand, a system that still looks slightly oversized today may reach its limits tomorrow. You can probably never have enough performance and there is also a certain feeling of future... We start with two synthetic benchmarks, but consciously share this category in DirectX11 and DirectX12. In the [...]
WITH the Radeon RX 580 Phantom Gaming X, ASRock presents a first-time work in which you can actually do nothing wrong with these models, bearing in mind the long-standing experience of the competitors with these models. So it’s kind of the ideal test object to practice. After all, the GPU is not a real new development, but only the [...]
Everyone is talking about the gigabit Internet. We already have it. Unfortunately, however, not all gold is gold and we suddenly discover completely new stumbling blocks. To want to have the quick connection and to get in the end also (sometime) is only ...
With the G560, Logitech offers a new Lightsync-based 2.1 gaming speaker system that not only puts pressure on the ears, but also provides real-time Ambilight-like backlighting. The Anli... Default: Out-of-The-Box As we test audio, we have e.g. in the basic article "Gaming Headsets: Myth, Truth and How We Test" already explained in great [...]
AMD's return to the CPU sector last year was reflected in a seemingly endless launch of new processors that could put real pressure on Intel in almost all areas of the desktop PC market. This forced Intel to make the most drastic adjustments to its desktop portfolio in the last decade. Nevertheless, AMD continues to manage to continuously gain [...]
Following the Siberia series geographically, it is now a little further north and after the frost-event of clattering ice nights, Steelseries is looking for the new acoustic pole with the Arctis series, for which the customer should like to warm up. Lots of A... Microphone measurement and sound check First of all, we can also measure the frequency [...]
Reference system for workstation testing at Tom's Hardware Since we didn't want to build a pure Xeon workstation (which of course is always a cost issue), we want to compromise and select consumer hardware so that it can be... Assembly and instructions If you want to use the Cooler Master Cosmos C700P, you need not only a thick wallet, but [...]
Once is always the first time. And so, in the end, Alphacool managed to bring a solid fullcover water cooling block to the market. What lasts for a long time will be good? That is exactly what we want to test today. Of course, there is also how to get started... Test system and measurement methods We have already described the test system and the [...]
The biggest gain is definitely (k)a loss. After the unspeakable radio tower climbing at Far Cry 4 was still unnecessarily on the transmitter, this time one can collect stress-free cards in previously liberated bases or even the ...
With the Logitech G Pro you want to round off the current portfolio upwards and make everything a little better. But can this really succeed? We are testing the 99-euro headset, which, like the Kingston HyperX Alpha, is in line with the current trend.
With the Kingston HyperX Cloud Alpha you would like to build on the successes of your predecessors and maybe make everything even a little better. But can this really succeed? We are testing the new headset with double-chamber technology in the...
If we were asked for a somewhat eye-catching RX Vega64 and if the range of such cards were not so limited, then the Red Devil from Powercolor would come to mind spontaneously. Because it not only applies quite strongly visually, but also ... Board layout Powercolor also differs somewhat from AMD's reference layout at first glance, but the most [...]
