Ok, today I’ll write an article for the weekend. On Fridays, the trolls are usually fed with fresh fish in special forums and the normal reader has already mentally slipped into rest mode. To then voluntarily unpack the heavy fare for the days off is quite unworldly. Unless it’s on fire. But it doesn’t really do that today, if [...]

In keeping with today’s date, we continue with our Intel Raptor Lake silicon lottery data today, namely with the overclockable i7 and i5 SKUs. So whether your 13th Gen chip is a winner or a loser, you can find out today, among other things. At this point, I would like to refer to the previous article on the i9 chips, since the procedure for [...]
The last AiO water cooler we tested here from EK was from the “Basic” series and came entirely without lighting. However, it is not possible to do without RGB completely, because the new “Nucleus” series brings RGB back to the foreground. In the following article, we will find out whether it is possible to deliver a good [...]
Very soon, the fastest Raptor Lake-S CPU will be on the market and Intel will probably launch its next (rather unreasonable) feasibility study for good money. Meanwhile, there are more and more spoilers about the performance of the new processor, so we can assume a “silent” release soon. Intel’s Gaming Technical Marketing Lead [...]
Before I mention more numbers about the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the cooler problem, as well as a few words about the supply chain and its failure in quality management, we also have to talk about quality management in general and quality assurance as well as quality control in particular today. Why? Because it helps to better understand the complex [...]
AMD releases the new Zen 4 CPUs without X in the name today. Of course, I was able to test the CPUs in the form of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 5 7600 in advance and also added the respective X models freshly. Even though these new CPUs might look rather unspectacular at first glance, the slightly lower price and higher efficiency could definitely [...]
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 [...]
I deliberately waited until I could get congruent and plausible information through various information channels, which can now also shed some light after two to three weeks. While AMD’s support initially resisted even acknowledging the hotspot problem as such and described the 110 °C hotspot temperature as completely normal, the situation [...]
