Since today’s ‘big’ article is coming out around 1 PM, I’m quickly throwing in my two cents about Starfield so that your breakfast bread settles awkwardly in your stomach. Even if it might sound derogatory, here’s my subjective, final confirmation: Despite its ‘fresh’ space theme, Starfield harbors the [...]

The Thermaltake Ceres 500 turned out to be my secret case star of the year because it combines great features with a fresh look and performs well in all aspects. With the Ceres 300, Thermaltake now sends a shrunken version with slightly slimmed down features and hits a range with the form factor that should fit perfectly for the majority of all [...]
In today’s review, I took a closer look at Cooler Master’s Oracle Air because I still had it stored on the shelf of good deeds waiting for redemption. Anyone who thinks a review of a massive external enclosure for NVMe SSDs would be boring has never really paid attention to the details. I currently have a lot of things on my mind and [...]
Since I get requests again and again, from which material what exactly consists and it is now possible for me with manageable effort to answer such questions, I start today retroactively just a new series of articles, which can be continued at will. No matter whether coolers, heatspreaders of CPUs, various pastes and pads, cables and connectors [...]
CORSAIR SCIMITAR Elite Wireless Review – Slightly obese MMO wireless mouse with sliding side buttons
With the heavyweight SCIMITAR Elite Wireless, CORSAIR goes completely against the trend of super-light mice. The sliding key pad with 12 freely programmable keys is supposed to make the SCIMITAR a dream for MMO gamers and could also be interesting for productive use. Read our review to find out whether the equation works out. The SCMITAR Elite [...]
And no, that’s not some oversized underwater camera; it’s genuinely a real Bluetooth speaker. This beauty is called the Edifier QD35, and its street price is now 120 Euros (RRP 170 Euros). You really have to come up with such a design, and this piece was so distinctively different that I just couldn’t resist, price [...]
Attention allergy sufferers, the following text may contain traces of lead and sarcasm! Once upon a time, in a country called China, engineers and economists asked the eternal question, “Should our solder be leaded or lead-free?” You might say that this was a question of almost Shakespearean proportions: “To solder or not to [...]
After we recently tested the Quersus ICOS, a chair explicitly marketed as an “office chair”, and found it to be good, SHARKOON now swoops in with the Office Pal C30 and shows us once again how price-performance works. You can read about the compromises that have to be made to reach the price of 229.90€ in the review. 229.90€ – [...]
I have changed the title a bit, because we don’t want to provoke clickbait. But the meaning will make itself clear in the further course of the test report, one way or another. There will be a happy ending! If you want to get started with 3D printing, there is something really interesting to read today. But let’s start at the [...]
You can invest a lot of things for and in something. Time, energy and, of course, a lot of money. But if you take the latter in hand, on the one hand to save time and energy, and on the other hand to test or uncover things that your normal (media) competitors can’t, then something like this is well worth it. After all, I have two mainstays [...]
Normally you don’t see many reviews of ATX cases from me, I actually feel quite comfortable in the literally small ITX niche. This time, however, a good opportunity arose when I was offered the latest case from Endorfy. I need to free up some space in my basement shelves and want to get rid of as much as possible in one fell swoop. Building [...]
Many readers have already noticed that Arctic sells the popular (because cheap) P12 PWM PST (and not only this) in new revisions. In the meantime, the fan we tested today has reached revision 4 and that alone is reason enough to draw a real comparison. For this purpose, we measured both revision 1 and revision 4 again under the same conditions [...]
Igor in danger: Unexpected spontaneous combustion of an Aerocool StrikeX ST and fiery excess | Retro
Let's quickly jump in again... The before and after show of the fireplace opening That you can warm up to features like a docking station is all a matter of opinion. By the way, the good piece has never been used, so it d... Collateral damage? It's amazing that the rest of the technology survived despite the excess liquid and the short circuit [...]
Actually, everything looked so good when I recently started the big roundup of workstation graphics cards and also published the first part with all four new Radeon Pro graphics cards. The cards didn’t perform badly, on the contrary. But I already noted things during benchmarking back then that I definitely wanted to re-test. Especially [...]
While the Tower 100 still lacked installation options for a powerful AIO and monster graphics cards like a 4090 or 7900XTX, the slightly grown Tower 200 now offers space for 280mm AIOs and 380mm GPUs. Read about the strengths and weaknesses of the stylish tower in the review. When I tested the Tower 500 a little over a year ago, I was quite taken [...]
The NETAC NV7000-t 2TB NVMe SSD is actually a highly interesting SSD, because it combines (like the already reviewed Acer Predator GM 7) a (still) quite exotic controller (that does without DRAM as cache) with a very special Chinese 3D-TLC NAND from YMTC. In this form, it is even (on paper) one of the fastest PCIe-4 SSDs without a DRAM cache and [...]
I wrote today’s article less than a year ago, so it’s not really “retro” yet, but somehow it’s time to bring it back up in this section on Saturday. I receive so many letters and enquiries on the subject that I think this article simply deserves to be here, and it certainly takes some of the pressure off me because I [...]
With the next refresh of the K70 – in this case the K70 MAX – Corsair introduces the brand new magnetic switches. Thanks to the adjustable trigger point, the MGX switches are supposed to achieve the perfect balance between fast response (gaming) and maximum precision (typing). You can read whether the “wonder switches” [...]
Another OLED monitor from LG wants to be tested. Most will already know the panel from the Corsair Xeneon Flex. The two share the genes. The WOLED panel comes from LG displays and measures 45 inches diagonally and is 800R curved. Unfortunately, the display only comes with a resolution of 3440 x 1440p at 240 Hz refresh rate. Personally, I would [...]
From time to time, I like to present interesting projects ranging from community careers to startups or life stories behind the scenes of a company. Today I’m going to give you a home story of a different kind, because I’m going to let Marc Gaser tell his life story and tale of woe himself. The story of and about Liquid Extasy as a [...]
