In the first part of my review, I took a look at the XMG Ultra 17 barebone inside, the whole thing powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K. assembled and really stressed out. Today we have the missing gaming benchmarks, a few applications and the efficiency review of the GeForce 3080 laptop, which has a (positive) surprise in store. Considering all the [...]
How, pray tell, does one write a review of something that is (almost) unavailable for purchase? Or you were lucky and/or had a somewhat bulging war chest and got one of the KFA RTX 3060 EX. Exactly for such rare moments of happiness in the gamer’s life I wrote this review today, because you should already know if you can also be happy with a [...]
Last time I had the new powerhouses from Cooler Master with almost gigantic dimensions in the test, today the exact opposite. Whether a cooler with just 39mm total height is sufficient for a modern mid-range CPU, you can find out in the following article. Packaging and scope of delivery As far as the carton design is concerned, the combination of [...]
Since I’d like to go to the factories of the contract manufacturers and always try to take a look behind the scene, but just the cute little Corona virus lurks grinning behind every Far Eastern corner and i’m hämisch with a hearty “You can’t pass”, it must direct an older collection of images. The production is [...]
Mass Effect is one of those things, it can get personal pretty quickly if you like the genre and remember the fondly sacrificed nights in 2007, 2010 and 2012. I even pulled out the original first part last year and played it on my retro PC. However, I quickly gave it up again, because the real feeling from back then just wouldn’t come back [...]
Today we build ourselves a notebook! Well, I don’t want to exaggerate, but that’s the beauty of such a barebone: you can actually put in what you would like to have (or think you have to have). Based on the Clevo X170KM-G, that’s no secret, I simply assembled the XMG Ultra 17 myself once, and again, there’s not a dry eye in [...]
The ancient Greek god of light knows all too well about well-timed archery shots into the heels of others. Whether these expertises can also be transferred to the performance and illumination of RAM in modern times, however, remains to be seen today. Acer Predator and BIWIN are launching a product series called Apollo, which should live up to the [...]
Bang frog, China-Böller, widowmaker – for the range of selected cheap cruelties from the Far East there are many harmless paraphrases. But that this electronic waste is literally fire-hazardous, I had to learn (once again) first hand during a short experiment. But trial makes you smart and so I didn’t let what I wanted to do without [...]
What is the real amount of work and know-how that goes into a modern computer power supply? We know the finished products, test and compare them – but that’s all. The forums are full of open questions and often enough the necessary transparency of the providers is missing. I was first allowed a semi-official look behind the scenes of a [...]
Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy with work for the last few weeks. Therefore, the next articles from me will be a bit delayed. Very annoying! After we already looked at NVIDIA Reflex and various sync technologies in terms of system latency, I have prepared another short review for you. In the article about NVIDIA Reflex and [...]
Since the author Yuri Bubliy (1usmus) has already set his software tool CTR EOL after the release of the successor “Project Hydra” and also does not offer any further suport, we have also removed the content from the website and link instead to the new, more comprehensive program, which offers full replacement and is also further [...]
The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 is a circumaural wireless headset with active noise cancelling and switchable ambient noise amplification. The PX7 is listed at various retailers from 319 euros, the RRP of Bowers & Wilkins for the PX7 is still 399 euros. All this is certainly not particularly cheap, but you get an acoustic and technical treat [...]
Often a computer case accompanies us for many years and has to endure many an upgrade. At least, that’s how it is for me most of the time. My current case is now almost 8 years old and thus dates from a time when RGB and tempered glass were still dreams of the future. I always found the Air 540 with its two chambers and good airflow to be [...]
If I had criticized in the last articles about Sharkoon mice that only right-handed people can enjoy a good/cheap mouse, now left-handed people can also be happy. How the Light² S, which can be operated from both sides, performs in the test is revealed in the following article: Packaging and scope of delivery The design of the box is kept, it is [...]
With the Aqua Computer high flow NEXT, the Swiss Army Knife for custom loops with lots of functions and accuracy has been available since this year for just under 70 Euros. Does anyone remember the test of all the flow meters and the grandiose failure of all the display toys that weren’t even good for an estimate? At the time, I was not [...]
We recently tested the Arctic P12 PWM, with surprisingly good results. And because many readers have almost urged us to test the RGB version as well, we’ll do just that today. And even now I didn’t want to spoil anything, but the RGB variant in form of the Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB 0dB is even better. Because apart from the RGB, the [...]
Of course, what I’m doing today is just a first taste of what’s to come later in full glory. But large workloads also take time to prepare, because it’s supposed to add real value. And that’s where I’ll be bringing a larger review, which will then include the usual things like teardown, power consumption, power supply [...]
In search of the optimal card for my eGPU case I looked for tests for a long time, but unfortunately I could never find anything adequate, where a direct comparison between Radeon and GeForce graphics cards was made as well as one could explain how overclocking affects an eGPU, up to which performance class an eGPU scales reasonably at all due to [...]
As promised in the middle of the week, today we have the honor of reviewing the new Talos memory kit from Acer Predator, who now want to establish themselves in the storage and memory segment of the hardware industry. The bar is set just as high as the demands the brand places on itself. Whether the first generation of Predator memory modules can [...]
