The topic of the ageing of thermal conductive pastes is more topical than ever and before we get to the showdown of some phase change pads and pastes in the near future, I’m going to interpose a graphene pad by popular demand, which is not only made of carbon but also costs a lot of it. I was a little skeptical at first, but in the end [...]

In the world of digital end-time disasters, the Fallout series has established itself as an iconic companion through the radiation-infested wasteland. But while Bethesda’s shining jewel has already reduced various American locations to rubble, a huge modification is now venturing into the heart of the old empire: Fallout London. A [...]
Every year again, or what was that? Yes, I also like to take a look at a case and assemble a PC. And because you don’t want to get the big catapult out financially, I deliberately look at inexpensive parts. That’s why today I have the Sharkoon Rebel C50, which I also requested as a sample. And then two boxes arrived at once. As [...]
With this review of the Edifier MR4 Studio Monitor, I’m fulfilling the wishes of those who have repeatedly asked. With prices currently under 100 euros, you can’t really go wrong as long as the user profile is right, because they are anything but gimmicky roaring cubes or colorful plastic tubes with childish LED pacifiers. Minimalism [...]
I already posted yesterday in a news item and briefly commented on what Intel officially published on the night of 22 July 2024 via Reddit as a kind of interim report. However, according to the unanimous opinion of all colleagues and readers, the whole thing is unsatisfactorily short and contains nothing substantial apart from the announcement of [...]
I got the obvious out of the way right from the title, so we can concentrate fully on the essentials … mostly. Because with this self-proclaimed NAS and router, this previously unknown manufacturer has brought something really interesting to the market. So let’s take a look together at what this little guy has to offer. Packaging and [...]
Many manufacturers have been experimenting with the Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pad and graphene pads on graphics cards for some time now. With good success, as AMD board partners in particular (and AMD on the MBA cards) or MSI prove. Paste or no paste, the load on graphics cards in particular is far too heavy a burden for many normal pastes in the [...]
The Blackview Hero 10 is a smartphone that is characterized by its robust design and functional hardware at an acceptable price. And a big mouth. In this review, we look at various aspects of the device, including design, display, performance, camera, software, battery life and more. In this case, clamshell doesn’t mean rickety, as a small [...]
I have been and continue to be confronted with graphics cards from my readers whose initially good cooling performance dwindles after just a few months and whose hotspot temperatures are then well above the 100 degree mark. I have already published several articles on this topic, dealing with the symptoms and repair, but now I finally have the [...]
Today I’m testing two pastes from Thermal Grizzly. The Kryonaut, which has been following us around for almost 10 years and feels like it’s stuck between every second CPU and its cooler in the forums, and a new paste as a “secret” pre-series product, which will be on the market in around three months. I have already tested [...]
The Corsair XTM70 Extreme Performance is convincing and even if the price is quite hefty even without iCUE, you still get an honest product. That’s a little spoiler in advance, even if the price really hurts me. At almost 17 euros for 3 grams, you have almost reached the gourmet temple and real caviar almost seems like an alternative bargain [...]
When Klaus-Kevin had too much strength again…
The NZXT C1500 is a powerful and high-performance power supply that can deliver up to 3000W of power for short periods of time if required. With the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 5090, you are definitely on the safe side with a 1500W ATX v3.1 compliant power supply. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and [...]
The Thermalright TF8 is actually more than just an insider’s tip, especially as this outstandingly performing paste is currently almost unbeatably cheap at just 5 euros in a 2-gram pack. Today you can find out how and why this paste is, in my opinion, almost the maximum of what is technically feasible. Of course, there is always some shadow [...]
Six months have now passed and Samsung has already carried out several firmware (FW) updates since then. My main criticism was that the Odyssey OLED G8 could only develop its full HDR potential – the 1000 nits peak – with an NVIDIA GPU. Despite a FreeSync Premium Pro certification. The FW updates released in the meantime have basically [...]
