Matching the recently reviewed Roccat Vulcan Pro keyboard, there is also the Burst Pro mouse, which also relies on an optical trigger mechanism. You can find out how the lightweight did in the longer everyday test in the following article: Packaging & scope of delivery The cardboard box of the mouse is in the same design as the matching [...]
Since there were some irritations at the beginning, also in connection with older installations, a special CTR-Cleaner is now available for download, which deletes the old entries from the registry under ” %LOCALAPPDATA%/A, %LOCALAPPDATA%/Nemesis_UIv2″ reliably. Please note: The program should be run as administrator (right click and [...]
There’s no need to repeat the war of the clone SSD sheeps with nearly identical Techvest boards, because if you know one, you know all SSDs. Well, yeah, more or less. And then BIWIN comes now with the HP SSD EX950 M.2 2TB from 240 euros and a different design and nice prices. This is even cheaper than a QLC-SSD in the form of the already [...]
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 [...]
Anticipation is the best joy – at least that’s what they say. Even though Intel’s DG1 was designed and advertised as an entry-level card from the beginning, a minimum of features and functionality can of course be expected from such a midget. A lot of things scale up nicely as long as the test candidates are good to test. Through [...]
The name Hyper 212 should ring a bell with many, especially enthusiasts from the Sandy Bridge era. And even though the dusty Evo variant is soon approaching its 10-year anniversary and still actively sold, the roots of this cooler series even go back to 2007. In order to meet the modern demands (namely optics and RGB), Cooler Master has added a [...]
Update from 28.01.2020 11:20 a.m. NVIDIA has meanwhile passed on the information that the discontinuation is a technical problem and that the cards will soon be online again. A reason for the (temporary) suspension could not be given, but it was justified with cache problems. So let’s be surprised once, because it would be a real pity for [...]
Intel recently unveiled one of its biggest chips, and our colleagues at wccftech.com have tapped various sources for more details. Although it was clear from the technical explanations at Intel’s Architecture Day what Intel is up to, the picture that now emerges is quite overwhelming. The colleagues show for the first time Intel’s 7nm [...]
The cooler in today’s article is once a real exotic, even in the range of Scythe. With almost gigantic dimensions (almost the width of an ATX mainboard) and no consideration for compatibility of other components, the Ninja 5 has many interesting aspects, not only the surprisingly low price. How the big brother of the Fuma 2 does in the test [...]
A pre-tested HWInfo version of today’s release now also reliably shows GDDR6X temperatures. As the programmer told me, there is a lot of searching, trial and error and therefore a lot of work involved. However, HWInfo is the first publicly accessible tool to offer end users (and reviewers) the possibility of reading out these temperatures [...]
After the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX 6000 series, the MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X Trio 16 GB has now found its way to my lab as another board partner card. The continued unavailability of all these graphics cards for the masses is actually embarrassing and all the more annoying because these products are really good [...]
In order to test something different between all the coolers, I switched from my tried and true keyboard with Cherry MX Red to the new flagship from Roccat with optical switches for a month. Whether it can stay and how it does in the test, you will find out in the following article: Packaging & scope of delivery The version with German QWERTZ [...]
I'm always getting my hands on various pieces of gold that are criss-crossed and publicly posted on social media. Even though in most cases the source can't even be determined anymore because everyone is always and constantly sharing and re-posing, there are a lot of things in there that I also saw for the first time. And since today is [...]
After I already reported about the shortages of graphics cards, a rumor made the rounds that NVIDIA probably wants to revive the older Turing entry-level chips. These were running (and apparently are running again) in TSMC’s old 12nm node, which is supposed to have enough spare capacity to be cheap and responsive. Own surveys among the board [...]
The Shure Aonic 50 is a circumaural wireless headset with active noise cancelling and is said to offer studio quality. At various retailers you can buy this headset for around 300 Euro. The RRP of Shure is 369 Euro, but a look at the website shows that the RRP has been lowered to 319 Euro. Scope of delivery The package includes the headphones, a [...]
Currently, everything is somehow scarce. It doesn’t matter whether it’s graphics cards, motherboards or simple “white goods” (like washing machines) including spare parts from the household appliance sector, in which there are usually more electronics than one would like. And often it fails also already at things, which one [...]
Corsair has unveiled the new 5000D, 5000D Airflow and iCUE 5000 RXG case models at CES 2021, with a design language and naming scheme that aims to tie in with the 4000 series product portfolio. We’ll take a look at whether Corsair has succeeded in this in today’s review of the top model iCUE 5000X RGB. As our friend “Aris” [...]
The second water block I tested was the Hydro Series XG7 RGB, a product from Corsair for NVIDIA’s large Ampere cards. Interestingly, the interest of most manufacturers in detailed tests is now rather restrained, because especially the comparison series of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has shown very clearly that RGB and bling-bling do not help [...]
In many basic articles I have already conveyed the theoretical basics and some background information on the correct use of infrared technology for years, without, however, going into more detail about the concrete application in my measurements. Five years ago, I then presented the current technology, although this article is still valid today [...]
The Mugen 5 is one of the most popular air coolers on the German market, only just behind the already tested Scythe Fuma 2 in the bestsellers. Depending on the variant, a bit smaller, a bit cheaper and one fan less, the standard fare seems to please buyers. In the following article you will find out how the cooler compares to the competition and [...]
