The Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700 is a new but quite expensive passive power supply bursting with superlatives. And yet there is a seemingly fundamental design problem that the layman cannot detect in this way and that can nevertheless lead to consequential damage to the connected hardware. Of course, I don’t want to anticipate the detailed [...]

The race for ever faster CPUs and above all GPUs is now producing such blossoms that even existing standards have to be softened or modified for the new energy waste offensive that soon every end consumer will have to save up for a portable nuclear power plant if they don’t want to be in debt with the energy supplier well into old age. To [...]

Who doesn’t know it, that moment of unbridled hatred when the power generally goes out. So when not only the fuse does its work, but the whole place suddenly goes dark? Storm or no storm, it doesn’t even have to be a direct lightning strike, which then gives the domestic electronics the final neck break. This is exactly what happened [...]
With the generously dimensioned 7000 series, Corsair brings two full-tower cases with high-end requirements to the market. In this article, I want to put the feature-oriented Airflow version through its paces and find out if the 20kg Behemoth lives up to its claims. An all-in-one compact water cooling system can be installed by anyone, there is [...]
Finally a manufacturer has taken pity on itself to offer the SKILLER SGS2 Jr, a stable gaming chair for the target group between 6 and 15 years, which is on the one hand robust and on the other hand pleasantly stands out from all the unicorn, pirate and Mickey mouse chairs. Visually and above all ergonomically, this is a real gaming chair for the [...]
Those who already know my previous articles also know about my second hobby besides hardware: 3D printers! And today it’s about how well both interests can be combined. What follows is a mix of image gallery, buildlog and review: My goal was that I wanted to “produce” the case for a gaming system by myself, mainly to see how far [...]
Having assembled quite a few PCs already, I’ve always wanted to build a mini-I-X system for everyday use. So it came as a call that my work colleague asked me for a new PC, well, the help to build him something tailor-made. After a short information gathering regarding the application of the PC as well as the budget, it was only a few mouse [...]
Since I’d like to go to the factories of the contract manufacturers and always try to take a look behind the scene, but just the cute little Corona virus lurks grinning behind every Far Eastern corner and i’m hämisch with a hearty “You can’t pass”, it must direct an older collection of images. The production is [...]
Bang frog, China-Böller, widowmaker – for the range of selected cheap cruelties from the Far East there are many harmless paraphrases. But that this electronic waste is literally fire-hazardous, I had to learn (once again) first hand during a short experiment. But trial makes you smart and so I didn’t let what I wanted to do without [...]
What is the real amount of work and know-how that goes into a modern computer power supply? We know the finished products, test and compare them – but that’s all. The forums are full of open questions and often enough the necessary transparency of the providers is missing. I was first allowed a semi-official look behind the scenes of a [...]
Often a computer case accompanies us for many years and has to endure many an upgrade. At least, that’s how it is for me most of the time. My current case is now almost 8 years old and thus dates from a time when RGB and tempered glass were still dreams of the future. I always found the Air 540 with its two chambers and good airflow to be [...]
Corsair RM850x W (2021) PSU Review – Suitable gold piece for Rocket Lake and thirsty graphics cards?
After almost three years in production, Corsair has finally decided to update its popular RMx line to better suit the needs of today’s graphics hardware. There are again five models with capacities ranging from 550 W to 1000 W. All are fully modular and the OEM is still Channel Well Technology, as before. And since I’m not always just [...]
We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and Core i9-10900K against Zen3 – Last man standing in silicon” that Intel’s 11th generation doesn’t act particularly squeamish at the power supply. But also not detailed enough, because there was one thing I couldn’t [...]
I would like to introduce you to some of my friends and acquaintances who are also involved in the international modding scene and some of whom have really set visual and technical milestones. But can you actually make a living from it? Of it rather badly, but with it all the better! That’s why I’m starting today with Mike, who I keep [...]
Load spikes that can cause even nominally adequate power supplies to suddenly shut down are all the rage right now, especially since the launch of NVIDIA’s current Ampere generation. It is also undisputed that this leads to the creation of legends and, of course, the accessories industry. But is there any point at all in placing a capacitor [...]
The Nerdytech Couchmaster Cycon 2 is the successor of the first version since the end of last year and Nerdytech must have taken up the feedback on the previously released products, because there are only a few points of criticism. Now it’s not like I realize every test request immediately and euphorically, because it is as always also a [...]
You’ve seen a lot of things, even on YouTube. For example, a 500 watt power supply miraculously survives even a GeForce RTX 3080, while exactly this card even forced a 1300 watt Platinum behemoth to give up in the lab before the Ampere launch. Well, NVIDIA has meanwhile defused the boost and thus also the load changes, but that should still [...]
The reports about failures of Gigabyte’s current P750GM are piling up and also my friend Aris Mpitziopoulos has already tested this power supply and, analogous to what you could read in the social networks, already had to dispose of it professionally with a capital complete failure and, after an also visually remarkable firework. The power [...]
If you are in urgent need of a new computer, you have to put up with the extreme prices on the one hand and the limited availability of the components on the other. It’s annoying, but it’s not likely to change anytime soon. Because you can’t always choose the time of an upgrade, or the conditions never really fit 100% anyway [...]
