The HP FX700 tested today is no longer brand new, but there was a reason for that, because I tend to be skeptical about QLC. Hewlett Packard, or HP for short, is one of the leading names in the technology industry worldwide. However, when developing the SSDs, HP entered into a partnership with BIWIN Storage, a renowned Chinese manufacturer of SSD [...]

But it’s about time there were 32-inch monitors with OLED panels – or what do you think? Today we take a closer look at the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM. A monitor in 16:9 format with a resolution of 3840 x 2160p and a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz. The built-in panel comes from Samsung Display, a 3rd generation QD-OLED panel with a slightly [...]
Another little “work brake” aimed directly at gamers! Yes, but this time I was definitely interested, because I finally got my hands on the new Cherry MX2A Red Switches. You can read in the test whether the traditional manufacturer is back on track, but you’ll have to be a little brave… Admittedly, Cherry’s switches [...]
Packaging and scope of delivery In case you forget who made the NAS between buying it and receiving it, the name is printed again on each side of the box. Very helpful! The contents are protected by foam blocks cut to size, and there is also a box with the accessories on the side. In it we find a 90 watt EA10952F-120 power supply unit, screws for [...]
This time it was Asus and the ears of the buyer, who had purchased an Asus RTX 4080 TUF Gaming just over a year ago. Why did I even bother with the root cause research and repair? As always, it’s a bit down to my curiosity and the fact that I find it hard to say no in justified damage situations once something has triggered me. The affected [...]
Anyone who remembers my article on the MiniXTec M1 from January may now be experiencing a bit of deja vu. Because a lot of things here seem suspiciously familiar to me too. But it’s no secret that many “manufacturers” across the hardware market commission the same OEM to print their name on a product. But it’s actually [...]
In today’s fourth part, I sacrifice my private Mo-Ra3 360 Pro from the lab in the service of science, simply because space was needed for something bigger. Yes, I admit that the working radiator, which unfortunately is no longer available to buy new, could certainly have been sold for a profit on kleinanzeigen.de. But firstly, I generally [...]
in today’s article, we have tested 10 water blocks, on 2 platforms, with 2 pump settings, each with different mounting variants. Today is not about theoretical values, but about real performance figures that every reader can measure themselves at home with a little effort. The background to all this is, of course, the initial review of the [...]
With the MSI SPATIUM M580 Frozr, the Taiwanese manufacturer has gone one better and launched a second fanless NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 standard, which is supposed to be a little bit faster and could therefore also reach the limits of PCIe 5.0. But does such a bolide bring any real added performance value and what is actually installed in detail? Of [...]
With the MP600 Elite, Corsair sent me an SSD to test some time ago, which I couldn’t really categorize logically based on the test results and the price. The name implies a lot, but in practice it looked a lot less rosy. So I waited to see how the price developed and compared the street price with the MP600 Pro XT I had already tested. Now [...]
In an era where new PC games often consume more resources than a black hole consumes its neighborhood, the PC port of “Horizon Forbidden West” shines like a Gallic village in a world occupied by Roman legions – unbending, unshakable and sturdy as an oak tree. Meanwhile, elsewhere, the latest blockbusters, led by [...]
I think it will become clear on the next page at the latest what the title alludes to here. But so that the search engine crawlers don’t get the wrong impression of the content of the article and the manufacturer’s designers aren’t offended, you’ll have to come up with the answer yourself. Of course, that doesn’t stop [...]
At the beginning of the year, we already tested a “Max” case from Cooler Master here, but at that time for compact systems with an ITX mainboard. Today, another case follows with the same partially-prepared approach, but for ATX. This is not really my form factor, but our case specialist Alexander needs some time off and my test of the [...]
With the new edition of the tower series in the old classic vertical case design, Thermaltake has come up with a beautifully designed octagonal prism shape and gives the case a new shine and various color variations. Starting at a fair €140 (depending on the color), it also offers plenty of space for hardware and rounds off the concept with a 3 [...]
Today we take a look at a small system from one of the established manufacturers, as they have not missed out on the growing niche market either. According to the manufacturer, the ExpertCenter series are “business desktops from the ExpertCenter series offer extreme reliability”. So let’s take a look at what else is on offer. The [...]
I’ve now reached part three and it’s time to briefly summarize the first two articles and, above all, to evaluate the reactions of the manufacturers, or rather their silence. As the case may be. Today’s test is about Radicooler (Qingdao YTeng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.) and Magicool (Qingdao Magicool Electronic Technology Co [...]
The big question that many people are asking themselves: Is it still worth buying an ATX v3.0 power supply now? Recently, everyone has been asking me why they should still buy an ATX v3.0 power supply when the ATX v3.1 specification has long been on the market. However, this is also because very few people even understand that the main difference [...]
It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]
After a long delay, the article on the new mice from NZXT is finally here. I teased them some time ago and have now finally found the time. Read on to find out what the two lightweight mice have to offer. This review wasn’t actually planned as a separate article, but as is the case when I really get to grips with a product, there was [...]
After all the reviews of various models of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, today I have the PNY RTX 4070 SUPER Verto OC Dual Fan 12GB, currently the cheapest RTX 4070 Super OC card for you in the test, whose street price is currently at 598 euros, but has also been found significantly below that in the past. As the GeForce RTX 4070 Super is selling [...]
