When you hear the name G.Skill, the vast majority of people will think of memory. A few may still have peripherals in the form of a mouse, keyboard and headset. But coolers? That’s new! So it was a big surprise when I was shown the new ENKI series and offered it for testing. With the power of the Sumerian god of water and no less than three [...]

With or without a subwoofer, caught up in nuances and the desire to cut the most tonally clean video possible. And no, I chose the headline with the question of whether the Nubert nuPro X-3000 RC or the nuPro X-4000 RC would do the trick, again anything but by chance, because actually, as with the first test, I wanted a treat for both: precise [...]
Matching the recently reviewed Roccat Vulcan Pro keyboard, there is also the Burst Pro mouse, which also relies on an optical trigger mechanism. You can find out how the lightweight did in the longer everyday test in the following article: Packaging & scope of delivery The cardboard box of the mouse is in the same design as the matching [...]
There’s no need to repeat the war of the clone SSD sheeps with nearly identical Techvest boards, because if you know one, you know all SSDs. Well, yeah, more or less. And then BIWIN comes now with the HP SSD EX950 M.2 2TB from 240 euros and a different design and nice prices. This is even cheaper than a QLC-SSD in the form of the already [...]
If you are in urgent need of a new computer, you have to put up with the extreme prices on the one hand and the limited availability of the components on the other. It’s annoying, but it’s not likely to change anytime soon. Because you can’t always choose the time of an upgrade, or the conditions never really fit 100% anyway [...]
Anticipation is the best joy – at least that’s what they say. Even though Intel’s DG1 was designed and advertised as an entry-level card from the beginning, a minimum of features and functionality can of course be expected from such a midget. A lot of things scale up nicely as long as the test candidates are good to test. Through [...]
The name Hyper 212 should ring a bell with many, especially enthusiasts from the Sandy Bridge era. And even though the dusty Evo variant is soon approaching its 10-year anniversary and still actively sold, the roots of this cooler series even go back to 2007. In order to meet the modern demands (namely optics and RGB), Cooler Master has added a [...]
The cooler in today’s article is once a real exotic, even in the range of Scythe. With almost gigantic dimensions (almost the width of an ATX mainboard) and no consideration for compatibility of other components, the Ninja 5 has many interesting aspects, not only the surprisingly low price. How the big brother of the Fuma 2 does in the test [...]
After the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX 6000 series, the MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X Trio 16 GB has now found its way to my lab as another board partner card. The continued unavailability of all these graphics cards for the masses is actually embarrassing and all the more annoying because these products are really good [...]
In order to test something different between all the coolers, I switched from my tried and true keyboard with Cherry MX Red to the new flagship from Roccat with optical switches for a month. Whether it can stay and how it does in the test, you will find out in the following article: Packaging & scope of delivery The version with German QWERTZ [...]
I'm always getting my hands on various pieces of gold that are criss-crossed and publicly posted on social media. Even though in most cases the source can't even be determined anymore because everyone is always and constantly sharing and re-posing, there are a lot of things in there that I also saw for the first time. And since today is [...]
The Shure Aonic 50 is a circumaural wireless headset with active noise cancelling and is said to offer studio quality. At various retailers you can buy this headset for around 300 Euro. The RRP of Shure is 369 Euro, but a look at the website shows that the RRP has been lowered to 319 Euro. Scope of delivery The package includes the headphones, a [...]
Corsair has unveiled the new 5000D, 5000D Airflow and iCUE 5000 RXG case models at CES 2021, with a design language and naming scheme that aims to tie in with the 4000 series product portfolio. We’ll take a look at whether Corsair has succeeded in this in today’s review of the top model iCUE 5000X RGB. As our friend “Aris” [...]
The second water block I tested was the Hydro Series XG7 RGB, a product from Corsair for NVIDIA’s large Ampere cards. Interestingly, the interest of most manufacturers in detailed tests is now rather restrained, because especially the comparison series of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has shown very clearly that RGB and bling-bling do not help [...]
In many basic articles I have already conveyed the theoretical basics and some background information on the correct use of infrared technology for years, without, however, going into more detail about the concrete application in my measurements. Five years ago, I then presented the current technology, although this article is still valid today [...]
The Mugen 5 is one of the most popular air coolers on the German market, only just behind the already tested Scythe Fuma 2 in the bestsellers. Depending on the variant, a bit smaller, a bit cheaper and one fan less, the standard fare seems to please buyers. In the following article you will find out how the cooler compares to the competition and [...]
In my review of SilentiumPC’s Navis EVO AiO water cooling I already briefly touched on the company’s “effective design and smart cost reduction” philosophy, today I have a really good example of a practical implementation of this resolution in front of me. Whether the largest cooler of the manufacturer can prove itself in [...]
The fact that graphics cards cause considerable load peaks I could already prove impressively 6 years ago for the first time – including all the resulting problems and measures for the power suppliers. In the meantime, a lot has been done, of course also in the interest of the end customers. And yet, there are always situations where a power [...]
For cheap air coolers with real coldplate instead of direct-touch heatpipe, the selection is quite small, Scythe has with the Kotetsu Mark II in the “normal” and Asus TUF variant one of the few candidates in the offer. How the little brother of the already tested Fuma 2 does in the test, reveals the following article: Packaging / Scope [...]
The fact that you should use your RAM at least in dual-channel if possible has fortunately become widely accepted in the industry today. However, unlike channels, ranks are still talked about very rarely, if at all. Many publications, some of them very well known, prefer instead to talk about “sticks” or modules affecting performance [...]
