Thanks EA for bringing up, dusting off and polishing up a classic that was once THE game par excellence for me, because Dead Space already captivated me almost 15 years ago! In the truest sense of the word, because I sunk a lot of wonderful hours into it and was virtually mentally tied to the chair. And this enormous time span is of course also [...]

Core renovation, stripping, plastering and painting? No, you have not made a mistake in the website! Even though it is quite offtopic, I would like to share a "small" heart project with you. In part 2, I'll show you the electrical installation, how to put on a network outlet, and what the room looked like after the renovation [...]
After we last looked at two Ultrawide monitors, we now return to the 16:9 format. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ-W takes on the test marathon. Another ROG-branded gaming monitor as far as the eye can see. The monitor comes with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and up to 170 Hz – on an IPS panel with RGB subpixel layout and 8-bit color depth. Even [...]
Today I’m testing the Alphacool Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 4090 FE Eisblock, the third water block for NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line model, and the picture is getting more and more solidified as to which cooler design is really good and usable. And this is where it gets really exciting: Alphacool’s cooler costs a whopping 90 to 100 Euros [...]
Both the Roccat Vulcan II Max and the Roccat Kone XP Air are not new, but somehow they are a bit different. Of course, this first raises the serious question of the sense or nonsense of a review long time after the release, long after the usual media have already more or less gratefully embraced these two products. Now, you can argue about RGB and [...]
Today we are going to round two with the EK Quantum Vector2 FE RTX 4090 D-RGB. A GeForce RTX 4090 FE is per se well cooled and the original cooler is actually also perfectly sufficient. So one would hardly have a valid reason as a buyer to disassemble and rebuild this collectible. Well, almost none, because the weight and space requirements of [...]
Today is finally the day – loyal readers won’t be surprised by this –, for Intel’s last and fastest LGA1700 CPU we also have binning data for you once more. Thanks to MIFCOM, we were able to run almost 200 chips through our testing routine again, and now you get to see the results. Plus, there’s a treat waiting for all (hobby) [...]
Today follows the last part of this little hobby project, but the end comes with a bang (metaphorically): Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a proud 32TB of storage. I had already teased the slightly extended version of the normal NAS, now it can finally show what it can do! The title already gave it away, for this system, which can also be used as a server [...]
No, it is not a contradiction, but transparent plastic tube (usually PVC) is cheap to buy, but really expensive in follow-up costs. Who can, prefer to go for hard tubing or such nice things as EPDM or Teflon, but there are also situations where you end up torn as to what it should be. And many a person is afraid to take anything other than PVC [...]
Groundhog day, again and again. Today, I’m pushing up a classic review for you to enjoy on a cold winter Sunday, and it was a very interesting experiment. Already 12 years ago I had tested various things up to the adhesive cream for the third for their thermal conductivity. However, this time I have modified the classics a bit and included [...]
After a longer abstinence here, at least with the articles, I am now back with a small Intel ARC special. The cards have a niche existence, which is on the one hand due to the rather poor availability, especially of custom models, but also due to the rather mixed tests of the cards after their release in November, where the cards showed weaknesses [...]
Last year, we already had an Ultrawide monitor in my test. And, because that was so nice, I thought, let’s do another one right away. BenQ sends the Mobiuz EX3415R into the race to acquire the customers’ favor. A 34 inch monitor with a 1900R IPS curved display. Thus, nothing new, but the view is well worth it. BenQ calls an MSRP of 809 [...]
Although my topic has been preached by the old hands in the PC field in forums for decades and is often the approach of any solution to performance problems, the same questions keep popping up from less experienced users. I hope to reach them with this article on our professional platform and maybe there is one or the other info for everyone else [...]
The Raijintek Morpheus is currently still the most popular and above all also the most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but the compatibility was somewhat behind the current graphics card generations from NVIDIA and AMD. I got myself a final version directly from Taiwan in advance, however, this cooler (as of yesterday morning) is also [...]
In the AiO water cooling category, Alphacool recently took first place in terms of cooling performance with its “Aurora HPE” series, partly thanks to the more expensive copper radiator. However, the “Core” series does not have this advantage, because a radiator made of the cheaper aluminum is used here again. We will test [...]
In keeping with today’s date, we continue with our Intel Raptor Lake silicon lottery data today, namely with the overclockable i7 and i5 SKUs. So whether your 13th Gen chip is a winner or a loser, you can find out today, among other things. At this point, I would like to refer to the previous article on the i9 chips, since the procedure for [...]
With the MP600 GS, Corsair rounds off the SSD portfolio in the solid mid-range as well and meanwhile also benefits a bit from the price drop. Starting at around 10 cents per GB, the price is now just under 8 cents. Corsair offers a somewhat more frugal M.2 SSD with PCIe 4.0 in the form of the MP600 GS, including the cheaper Phison E21T controller [...]
The last AiO water cooler we tested here from EK was from the “Basic” series and came entirely without lighting. However, it is not possible to do without RGB completely, because the new “Nucleus” series brings RGB back to the foreground. In the following article, we will find out whether it is possible to deliver a good [...]
Before I mention more numbers about the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the cooler problem, as well as a few words about the supply chain and its failure in quality management, we also have to talk about quality management in general and quality assurance as well as quality control in particular today. Why? Because it helps to better understand the complex [...]
AMD releases the new Zen 4 CPUs without X in the name today. Of course, I was able to test the CPUs in the form of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 5 7600 in advance and also added the respective X models freshly. Even though these new CPUs might look rather unspectacular at first glance, the slightly lower price and higher efficiency could definitely [...]
