Since the launch of NVIDIA’s top ADA models and the tiresome wrangling over the 12VHPWR connection, many enthusiasts are looking for potent power supplies according to the new ATX 3.0 standard. Thermaltake offers a real ATX v3.0 power supply with Toughpower GF3 1200W, which could be a serious alternative for many owners of a GeForce RTX 4090 [...]

In today’s workvlog I show you again a themed build, but this time the whole thing is kept a bit more simple and should animate something that you can create a real eye-catcher even without an elaborate custom loop water cooling. The only prerequisite you need is some creativity and a bright idea. Who knows my builds, also knows that I [...]
Even though many enthusiasts are currently looking for potent power supplies according to the new ATX 3.0 standard (and hardly find anything on the market) after the launch of NVIDIA’s ADA top models and the tiresome wrangling about the 12VHPWR connector, the Corsair HX1500i together with the additionally offered cable including the 12-4-pin [...]
As a constant in the budget segment, Sharkoon always knows how to surprise with unexpectedly good quality and excellent value for money. In this test, we want to find out whether the compact TK5m can do the same. Can you expect anything at all at a price of around 65€ despite four pre-installed ARGB fans? The market for inexpensive cases is [...]
Yes, it’s winter again and the next hot hardware is just around the corner. Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it’s still getting warmer every day because the wattage of the components is also increasing so immeasurably. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient temperature (also [...]
With the Adept Holo and Adept Hemi, there are officially two more new seats for the gamer of the world on the market as of today. Why I even made myself available as a test person in advance this time and am now writing about it has exactly two reasons: healthy distrust and even stronger curiosity. I’m combining today’s review [...]
It is well known that the specifications for ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 are closely intertwined and many things have also found their way into each other’s standardization. Also the many articles I already wrote about the 12VHPWR connector, i.e. the 12+4 pin, already gave a lot of insights there. It can also be assumed that the new, powerful [...]
The good piece needs a motor for the movement, logically. With the PC-CK101L, Lian Li also offers a matching kit, so I grabbed the little train and set to work on the conversion once again. The whole thing works, that much I want to reveal at this point, but you still have to look for further solutions yourself, because without a proper PC [...]
The “Train as a PC” was the highlight in my case tests in 2012. The PC-CK101 from Lian Li consists of a locomotive and a trailer, which together are supposed to hold all the necessary components for the PC to be installed. In addition, I can still fall back on 3 meters of rail and a complete drive set. However, this new mobility will [...]
The Maidesite S2 Pro Plus for 529 MSRP and 479 euros in the current sales now replaces my height-adjustable gaming table in the video studio and I am finally satisfied again. No, it’s not that easy to find something suitable and stable for the old wobble table that doesn’t say gaming on it, but has quality inside. You can even get them [...]
In today’s Workvlog I show you the Raijintek Paean Premium as a mod, which I already wrote a review about. Today’s build gets the “Navy” theme. I was inspired by the MSI Z690 Torpedo in the EK X version. So there will be many highlights again today and I don’t want to spoil too much – but the tubing was a real [...]
With the TC200, Corsair responds to the community and fulfills their wish for a slightly wider chair with a higher load, thus creating a kind of gaming throne, at least visually. In addition to the usual features like the Class 4 gas pressure spring, the steel frame, adjustable armrests and dual-wheel casters, Corsair still relies on the racing [...]
With the Pop series, Fractal Design wants to completely reposition itself in the entry-level sector. The cases of the new generation will be available in three sizes and different variations. In addition to the focus on good airflow and the usual Fractal quality, the new cases are also supposed to stand out with bright colors and stand out from [...]
The new ATX 3.0 standard brings many innovations, especially since some things can’t be completely separated from the PCIe 5.0 standard. But even though they are different consortia, there is a lot of overlap that then finds its way into the other specification as well. After all, it’s basically about the same thing and of course you [...]

You could almost think that today there would be another review of the NZXT H1, which recently got a revised version, but no, this is about the Revolt 3 case from HYTE, a brand of the system dealer iBUYPOWER, which looks similar at first glance. According to their own statement, they want to “show their commitment to the DIY market.” [...]
The H7 Elite is NZXT’s new ATX premium case and promises luxurious features in a classy guise. We will find out whether this is the case in today’s test. As is well known, everyone can tell a lot when the day is long. The H7 Elite is one of three versions launched on 5/25/2022. The other two are called H7 and H7 Flow, and the prices [...]
In today's workvlog I show you again a Mini ITX system, saved with a full custom watercooling in the smallest space and the complete installation history. And yes, in the tightest of spaces you also need very jointed fingers as well as a tiny bit of stamina and a lot of patience. And what else do you need? That's right: a suitable housing [...]
We have already discussed the topic of load peaks with the upcoming graphics cards including PCIe 5.0 as well as the new ATX 3.0 standard and Intel’s statements on this topic in detail several times. But since in the end no one really knows what to do with all these standards and theory in their own practice, my friend Aris (Dr. Aristeidis [...]
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 [...]

Umbrella Corporation meets Cooler Master and mATX: MasterCase TD300 Mesh Review including a case mod
The TD300 Mesh is Cooler Master’s new mATX case and thus the little brother of the popular TD500 Mesh ATX. The name also hides why the case is so popular, because with its mesh front, the case offers good ventilation and promises a lot of fresh air inside the case. And thus a better heat exchange. The TD300 Mesh is available in two versions: [...]
Now we’re going full speed ahead! The already insane 208 LEDs of the 5000T are now joined by another 162 LEDS with the LC100 Case Accent Lights including expansion set. Thanks to the hinge-like magnetic connectors, the flexible triangles can take on all sorts of interesting shapes and, of course, glow in every color imaginable. Read what you [...]
You can’t get enough of RGB lighting and are looking for a new top class case? Then the new Corsair 5000T could be the fulfillment of your dreams. The case comes with more than 200 LEDs, and I can already tell you that it is absolutely convincing from a technical point of view. However, you can read more about the small catch in the test [...]
Among all the gaming chairs from all over the world, the US manufacturer Vertagear has also been around for a few years. In today’s test, we have the PL6000 model, which is designed more as an office chair for obese gamers, and which raises a specific question in my mind: Why is this manufacturer actually so unknown? Vertagear has been [...]
