AMD let us release tests of the four new Zen 4 CPUs today in the form of the Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 5 7600X. We have already reported about it for a long time, but now the necessary test samples are finally materializing in the form of the real CPUs, which can provide answers to the many questions that have been [...]

Where is Ryzen? They won’t be here until this afternoon, at 3 p.m. sharp. And to make the wait not so hard, we have a little pearl for you, which is really worth to be presented as well. If you have gasoline in your blood and bullets in your tank, Omno is definitely not a suitable game for you. However, if you just want to switch off and are [...]
Small and poisonous? Economical, useful or superfluous? We’ve tested a lot of things in the meantime and many a little battle dwarf has already disappeared from the collective memory. Rightly or wrongly? For the sake of clarity, I want to list all Mini-PCs and comparable small systems tested here. In addition, there is of course also a [...]
Surf and turf as an edible combination of fish and meat on a plate is definitely a kind of culinary highlight, if the chef is any good. But what happens when a product is neither fish nor meat, but costs almost as much as a premium menu? You’ll have to think very carefully about who the recently introduced Corsair HS55 is really suitable for [...]
The following article is mostly machine translated from the original German, and the translation has not been edited or checked for errors in-depth. Thank you for your understanding!
Nowadays, there are mice for every field of application. Office, FPS, MMO, MOBA and whatnot. Fortnite Klaus needs an ultra-light and precise mouse, WOW Kevin needs as many buttons as possible. With the Model I, GLORIOUS wants to serve them all. And with 19,000 DPI, 9 programmable and partly customizable buttons, an ergonomic case and a weight of [...]
With DDR5-6600 CL32, the kit from today’s review is not only the fastest RAM kit in Corsair’s portfolio but even market-wide in Europe, at least at this point. The exterior is the familiar Dominator Platinum RGB design, which we had even looked at 2 times before in tests. Accordingly, we will focus especially on the inner values of the [...]
Today we have something for the readers who don’t only gamble. The MSI Summit MS321UP is a monitor made for content creators. You notice this after unpacking at the latest, because you inevitably stumble across a measurement log. This monitor has a factory calibration for the DCI-P3 color space. But that is by far not all. The MSI MEG381CQR [...]
In keeping with the theme of prepayments, back payments and heating costs, this time I subjected myself to a self-financed and rather involuntary self-experiment. Almost 4,000 euros more in advance per year should actually be enough to get rid of old carelessness and accept the additional costs for the purchase in return. At current prices, the [...]
With the new K70 PRO Mini Wireless, Corsair launches the first wireless mechanical keyboard in the company’s history. And Corsair wouldn’t be Corsair, if they didn’t take the opportunity to draw from the full! 60% layout, PBT keycaps, replaceable switches, a polling rate of 8000Hz and many other refinements are on board. Read [...]
We are through with the basics, then we can get started now. The MSI Optix MEG381CQR Plus is the first monitor to prove itself in our test. Yes, in terms of naming, all monitor manufacturers are trying to generate their own Da Vinci code. Basically, however, there is a certain logic behind it. MEG (MSI Enthusiast Gaming), 38 refers to the screen [...]
Cooler Master sends two new case fans onto the market with the unilluminated Mobius 120 and the illuminated counterpart Mobius 120P ARGB, which, together with the Mobius 120 OC not tested today, should give everything a good shake of the competitor products. However, the price is quite high at just under 25 euros for the shadow man and just under [...]
Today we have some light entertainment in the form of a small buildlog of a system or rather a complete configuration, which had to fit into a rather tight budget. The whole thing happened “on behalf” of my circle of acquaintances, so I dug through the Prime Day deals, classifieds and our recommendations here on IgorsLab and report the [...]
Little space, little bass? If you are struggling with your limited living space or simply don’t want to have visible subwoofer cubes, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The Nubert nuSub XW-800 Slim likes to duck away, sometimes crawls under the sofa or stands upright next to a sideboard, as if the bass reflex tube wanted to sniff the high [...]
Today I have a glimpse into the near future of RAM technology for you, and as is so often the case in the computer hardware industry, it comes from China, where SK Hynix’s new DDR5 memory ICs are already available for purchase today. With a proxy like Superbuy, some patience and even more trust, you can import such a Hynix A-Die kit to [...]
Such a test is definitely exciting, because even the onboard graphics of modern CPUs or APUs were sufficient for pure video playback in HTPCs back then. On the other hand, if you wanted to play a small game on a modest scale 10 years ago, these solutions were all still too underpowered at the time and it was better to resort to a separate graphics [...]
With the Adept Holo and Adept Hemi, there are officially two more new seats for the gamer of the world on the market as of today. Why I even made myself available as a test person in advance this time and am now writing about it has exactly two reasons: healthy distrust and even stronger curiosity. I’m combining today’s review [...]
Of course, the title is meant to be a bit ironic, but I just have to take the otherwise practically everything lighting manufacturer Corsair for a ride when, for once, a product with a reduced RGB flood is presented. Because the last AiO’s of this brand either had “next-gen” RGB or even a small screen installed, this turnaround [...]
Is Wi-Fi 6 now the panacea for poor WLAN reception? No, but it can certainly actively support the therapy. You can’t reinvent physics, but you can harness it. It’s been almost 3 years since I set up a Wi-Fi 5 network over two floors here in the lab and also published a longer article about it. If you’re lucky enough to have a [...]
A little bit of retro is always interesting so I have an article from the beginnings of igorsLAB for you this time. The APU is now also available very cheap and that is enough for a usable HTPC in the end.
