New year, new luck! Due to various inquiries and great interest in the topic, I have put together a detailed UV guide for you here, since I had a small craft project pending anyway. The connection with the theory was a logical follow. In addition, as often requested, I explain the individual functions in the MPT (MorePowerTool) again explicitly [...]

What happens when Schubert’s trout goes down the Oehlbach acoustically grandiose and takes the invested 20 Euros right along with it? That’s exactly what I thought when I spontaneously ordered an Oehlbach PureClock to solve my nasty chirp problem and wasn’t really sure whether such a passive stick was pure snake oil or a passable [...]
The Trident Z RGB and Neo series from G.SKILL have been around almost as long as DDR4. However, for the new Ryzen 5000 CPUs, G.SKILL has refreshed their SKUs and added new XMP variants specifically optimized for Ryzen. Today we’re looking at the top of the line model of the new variants, a 2x 16GB kit in dual-rank configuration, with Samsung [...]
Actually, Gigabyte has done almost everything right with the GTX 980 Ti Xtreme Gaming Waterforce, because the performance and the overclockability have impressed us - as well as other colleagues of international media, who could also get hold of a copy -...
Since even many high-priced 3D printers still rely on SD cards or USB sticks for transferring GCODE files, the constant running back and forth is a bit tedious, depending on the location of the plastic melter. How this “problem” can be solved with a Raspberry Pi, you will learn in the following article. But before you start full of [...]
The heat-conducting paste business is a very profitable one, it was, is and will probably remain so. But what does the K-value, which PR likes so much, really mean? We'll calculate what temperature gains or losses you can or must really expect.
I’ll write out the product name once (almost) in full: S.M.S.L Sanskrit 10 MKII AK4493 HiFi 768KHz 32Bit XMOS USB Native DSD256 Decoder, then for simplicity’s sake I’ll just call the thing Sanskrit 10th MKII. The name with the 10-year anniversary has allowed itself the manufacturer to exactly this anniversary. I was intrigued by [...]
AMD in detail we have gone through and we had already talked about the heatspreaders of the current generations, a burn-in and the thing with the camber. Now finally follows the picture gallery for the individual Intel CPUs. Basic article, “CPU heatspreaders examined in detail – do we need to rethink AMD and Intel now?“ Picture [...]
I have talked to Aris for a long time about this topic, because I also receive many mails every day with inquiries whether this or that power supply with configuration X, Y or Z would really work safely. Due to the lack of a wider range of suitable new power supplies, I relied entirely on Aris, who came up with a special test setup. This time, a [...]
We already talked about the heatspreaders of the current generations, a burn-in and the thing with the cloud. For that, I’m also happy to link again to the basic article “CPU heatspreaders examined in detail – do we need to re-design the coolers for AMD and Intel now?” But what was in the time before, back then. when CPUs [...]
I had already announced a long time ago that I would continue to work on the topic of heatspreaders. However, I myself do not have the measuring equipment in the micrometer range that would allow a clear statement, so I gratefully resorted to the help offered by a German research center. It was simply important to me to support the assumptions I [...]
The fact that the small mobile DACs and headphone amplifiers cannot keep up with stationary devices should be well known due to their size and the associated technical limitations. But since I own some Beyerdynamic headphones myself as well as the A20 as a headphone amplifier, I was quite curious about the comparison. After all, they also [...]
The reason behind and restrictions Cyberpunk 2077 sets new standards for graphics and therefore hardware. But not only the graphics card and CPU, but also the RAM can play an important role for the FPS, as we recently found out when testing the Patriot Viper Steel RGB for the first time with Cyberpunk as benchmark. In today’s review [...]
Even though the title may sound a bit martial and exaggerated – it’s the bitter reality if you really want to compare PC cases objectively in the thermal and acoustic area. And that’s all this article is about. Of course, subjective factors such as looks, build quality and usability also count towards the content of a good review [...]
I’ll admit, I struggled a little harder than usual this time. Because on the one hand, 249 euros as a price for a keyboard is already a fat chunk and on the other hand, as a frequent writer, I am rather the category MX Blue, so tactile pointy clicker and not a pushing through tempo sinner. But – it is a kind of halo product and at the [...]
Patriot’s Viper Steel series has been around for a while and is probably known by most as a DDR4 secret tip for its good price/performance ratio without unnecessary bells and whistles. But now the RGB illumination of the universe is unstoppable and so the Viper Steel RGB series is launched today. At launch, there are models with clock speeds [...]
After the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX 6000 series, the XFX RX 6800 XT Merc 319 16 GB has also found its way to my lab as a board partner card. The continued unavailability of all of these cards to the masses is all the more annoying because these products are really good and competitive graphics cards that deserved [...]
In fact, it’s both! After a few hours of playing time, the somewhat tough prologue including intermezzo and a few crashes (including patches), I am now a few nerves poorer and many experiences (as well as a game that is probably addictive) richer. If I had simply resisted the temptation to start right on the first day, I would probably have [...]
The latest USB podcast microphone from Blue is called Yeti X and is a 4-condenser microphone, which is currently available in the standard version for around 135 euros from various retailers. The biggest innovation with this microphone is that it can be customized using Logitech’s G-Hub software. This has never been possible with any Blue [...]
The new Big Navi cards are released and the 6800/6800 XT and the new one recently celebrated their debut. Our community member Gurdi couldn’t help but take a closer look at the AMD cards this time as well. That’s exactly why I let Gurdi continue writing, because it’s his user review, in which he invested a lot of time himself and [...]
