With the CH331, COOLER MASTER positions another inexpensive headset in the very competitive budget range. The 45€ device is sent into the ring with decent workmanship and essential features. We want to find out in the test whether it is simply cheap or actually worth the price. Headsets in the €50 range are a dime a dozen, and in times where even [...]
So far, we’ve basically only looked at high-end gaming or a content creator monitor. We have not yet tested a pure office monitor. So today is the day. The MSI Modern MD272QP from 2021 faces our test program. It is indeed – a pure office monitor, as you can find it in almost every office. Expectations should not be too high now [...]
Of course, not all things can be realized on our own and so we also rely on external help and support. It is important to us to find cooperative partnerships that offer advantages to both sides and go beyond normal sponsoring. On the one hand, we can benefit from the experience of market-leading companies in this way and, in return, help to open [...]
After various render images of the new Morpheus 8069 GPU air cooler were leaked in the last few days due to rather unfortunate circumstances, which however do not officially come from Raijintek, but were picked up by a third party from an unprotected directory of the manufacturer’s server, I would like to turn the whole thing upside down a [...]
New curve options have been added. Of course we would be very happy about a feedback in the forum about the use of this new function! The More PowerTool (MPT) has been also revised once again for the detection of the installed graphics adapters (keyword Unicode) and also detects different variants of the driver entries. In case of doubt, the VGA [...]
I admit it, I just couldn’t resist the headline. After all, it’s the weekend and a short rest between all the launch actions that are more than just getting to the substance. Of course, I’m not just sitting in the office writing articles all the time, there are other things going on in the depths of the lab that allow me to sort [...]
Today I will introduce you to the new SDR measurement standard for our monitor tests regarding color performance. Regarding HDR, there will be a separate article. Nevertheless, from now on it’s “We used the Calman color calibration software from Portrait Displays.” All previous monitor tests are still valid. The results were/are [...]
With Raptor Lake, Intel now also ends the era of monolithic processors. This of course comes with another decent performance boost and it will be the purpose of this review to compare the new CPUs with AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 family. That is definitely worthwhile, because Intel would quite like to have the so-called gaming crown back. The [...]
I admit it, in a time where everyone is screaming for more and more dedicated memory on the graphics card, the concern of this tutorial today is rather incomprehensible for many. However, certainly only at first glance. Because all of this solves a problem very elegantly, which one might face (admittedly) very rarely, but nevertheless sometimes [...]
Today we have another mini system from Beelink in review. The newest SEi Pro series uses processors from the 11th generation. Generation from Intel. How the i5 with the sonorous name 11320H and its Xe graphics unit performs is tested in the following article. A few surprises await us! Packaging and scope of delivery Does the design on the cuboid [...]
A notebook in my test – what’s up? Yes, there is always a first time. By chance, I became aware of the product and thought to myself: Hey, there is an OLED display and quite potent hardware installed. I’ll definitely have to check that out. I have to say that I was most interested in the OLED panel. So, I sent a request to MSI [...]
If you were lucky and had enough money to play with (5 Euros for the pun fund), you could still get hold of one of the few GeForce RTX 4090s in the wild, just in time for the launch. And the rest? If the 2000 Euros were and are too much for you (after all, the Founders Edition costs almost one Euro per gram) and you need something new right now [...]
I have been asked by some readers why our test results from the launch review were better for the GeForce 3000 series cards, especially in WQHD, than on quite a few other sites. Others, on the other hand, said that everything would have to be re-benchmarked now because the new drivers, which were released at the same time as the GeForce RTX 4090 [...]
Converting a GeForce RTX 4090 is easier than you think, but it is not free of small hurdles either. Especially if you want or need to convert the card back to air cooling later (e.g. sale or RMA). So today I’ll show you step by step how I disassembled the card and also cleaned it. And do yourself a favor (because I get mails almost every [...]
Who doesn’t know it, the funny adapter from NVIDIA, with which you can merge four PCIe 6+2 pin cables to be able to run graphics cards with up to 600 watts? If you only connect three plugs, you’ll only get 450 watts and with two plugs, the PC won’t start at all with a bit of bad luck. It also doesn’t matter which of the [...]
Today is finally the day, the RTX 4090 celebrates its sales launch. I don’t even want to talk about the prices now, maybe I’ll say something about that at the very end. Igor had already presented the general performance, power consumption, temperatures, etc. yesterday – as usual. I myself have been testing with the RTX 4090 for a [...]
The time has come and after an almost unbearable period of waiting and speculation, I can finally present the GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition (FE) today including all technical details and the long-awaited benchmarks. I already wrote an article about the origin of the mega-sized coolers, but that will remain only a (albeit important) side note [...]
In the past, we have already tested coolers and peripherals from SilentiumPC and SPCGear, respectively, and most of the time they even performed well in terms of price/performance. With good reviews and awards under their belt, they have gradually achieved more and more success on the market, so that they are now venturing to expand into the [...]
Before angry comments are made in the forum that a Celeron CPU also has its raison d’être: The title of this article is to be understood with a wink. However, we still check whether a processor from Intel’s lower drawer paired with Windows 11 is suitable for everyday use. The last mini-PC with an N-CPU was not quite convincing in terms [...]
Yesterday we were allowed to publish the first own pictures of NVIDIA’s upcoming graphics card generation, but we still have to keep quiet about further details up to the performance until the set launch day. Some clarification (certainly also in the sense of NVIDIA) would be urgently necessary. Because the outcry about the huge, heavy [...]
