Corsair is announcing the new 5000 Series cases at CES 2021. Continuing the naming scheme and design language introduced with the 4000 Series in late September, the 5000 Series is available as the 5000D, 5000D Airflow and iCUE 5000X RGB. In addition to the black variants, there will also be white variants of the model. The 5000 Series is therefore [...]
In my review of SilentiumPC’s Navis EVO AiO water cooling I already briefly touched on the company’s “effective design and smart cost reduction” philosophy, today I have a really good example of a practical implementation of this resolution in front of me. Whether the largest cooler of the manufacturer can prove itself in [...]
Intel previewed its upcoming Rocket Lake architecture for the first time at CES 2021. The upcoming Rocket Lake CPUs mark the first really big architectural overhaul in well over 5 years and is also an architecture that, due to circumstances, has been backported from 10nm at great expense so that Intel can get it to market as quickly as possible [...]
The fact that graphics cards cause considerable load peaks I could already prove impressively 6 years ago for the first time – including all the resulting problems and measures for the power suppliers. In the meantime, a lot has been done, of course also in the interest of the end customers. And yet, there are always situations where a power [...]
Our friend Yuri (1usmus) made an interesting discovery in the course of working on the new Clock Tuner for Ryzen (CTR) 2.0 for the Zen3 CPUs and the implementation of AMD’s API, because although both the Ryzen 5 5600X and Ryzen 7 5800X are actually made with only one chiplet (CCD), some time before Christmas 2020 models have been spotted [...]
For cheap air coolers with real coldplate instead of direct-touch heatpipe, the selection is quite small, Scythe has with the Kotetsu Mark II in the “normal” and Asus TUF variant one of the few candidates in the offer. How the little brother of the already tested Fuma 2 does in the test, reveals the following article: Packaging / Scope [...]
The first block diagram of AMD's Ryzen 5000 "Cezanne" APUs based on the Zen 3 architecture has been leaked by now Videocardz. The block diagram shows that AMD's Ryzen 5000 'Cezanne' APUs will feature some major design changes compared to the current generation and are not just a simple refresh of the current 3rd Gen Ryzen [...]
The fact that you should use your RAM at least in dual-channel if possible has fortunately become widely accepted in the industry today. However, unlike channels, ranks are still talked about very rarely, if at all. Many publications, some of them very well known, prefer instead to talk about “sticks” or modules affecting performance [...]
When miners are mining, of course, really fat wattages come into play for the power supplies as well. Better efficiency in the masses is of course really fun and also generates a monetary added value. That's probably what the manufacturers of the China firecracker sold in the USA thought, too, as they gave their firecracker a snazzy 90-plus [...]
My colleagues at wccftech.com have just published an exclusive leak regarding the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060. The website has published the first images of a custom GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card coming from ASUS. To everyone’s surprise, they list the 12GB models as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ultra. Sure, there was something before and I [...]
New year, new luck! Due to various inquiries and great interest in the topic, I have put together a detailed UV guide for you here, since I had a small craft project pending anyway. The connection with the theory was a logical follow. In addition, as often requested, I explain the individual functions in the MPT (MorePowerTool) again explicitly [...]
What happens when Schubert’s trout goes down the Oehlbach acoustically grandiose and takes the invested 20 Euros right along with it? That’s exactly what I thought when I spontaneously ordered an Oehlbach PureClock to solve my nasty chirp problem and wasn’t really sure whether such a passive stick was pure snake oil or a passable [...]
In addition to the evil, viral C-word, in 2020 we had the P-word (paperlaunch) and many other things, including very annoying deficiencies and also consequential appearances, about which you could get really upset if you wanted or needed to. But a year like 2020 also shows how limited and fragile the global system of ever-increasing [...]
Cybenetics was founded four years ago with the goal of introducing new efficiency and noise certification standards for AC-DC power supplies (PSUs) through its ETA and LAMBDA ratings. In these four years of being in business, nearly 800 power supplies have been certified and over a thousand beta tests have been conducted so far. This was also done [...]
The Trident Z RGB and Neo series from G.SKILL have been around almost as long as DDR4. However, for the new Ryzen 5000 CPUs, G.SKILL has refreshed their SKUs and added new XMP variants specifically optimized for Ryzen. Today we’re looking at the top of the line model of the new variants, a 2x 16GB kit in dual-rank configuration, with Samsung [...]
Actually, Gigabyte has done almost everything right with the GTX 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming Waterforce, because the performance and the overclockability have impressed us - as well as other colleagues of international media, who could also get hold of a copy -...
Since even many high-priced 3D printers still rely on SD cards or USB sticks for transferring GCODE files, the constant running back and forth is a bit tedious, depending on the location of the plastic melter. How this “problem” can be solved with a Raspberry Pi, you will learn in the following article. But before you start full of [...]
The time has finally come, the new version of Clock Tuners for Ryzen CTR is in the starting blocks! The release will also take place on our side as the official German-speaking host already in a few weeks – after some further and necessary tests with end users – but also the current version already gives an idea of what is already [...]
The heat-conducting paste business is a very profitable one, it was, is and will probably remain so. But what does the K-value, which PR likes so much, really mean? We'll calculate what temperature gains or losses you can or must really expect.
I’ll write out the product name once (almost) in full: S.M.S.L Sanskrit 10 MKII AK4493 HiFi 768KHz 32Bit XMOS USB Native DSD256 Decoder, then for simplicity’s sake I’ll just call the thing Sanskrit 10th MKII. The name with the 10-year anniversary has allowed itself the manufacturer to exactly this anniversary. I was intrigued by [...]
