With the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A for the new RX 6900 XT, 6800 XT and 6800, AMD now also has the right coolers for the current Radeon cards to the side. Big Navi on Ice is not quite there yet, but at least the chip and the circuit board is a well cooled submarine, so it’s really nice under water. Such a water cooling system [...]

AMD still has one left, and that’s what we have today. They want to take the competitive Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB one step further and so Dr. Lisa Su pulled a last ace out of her sleeve some time ago and presented the Radeon RX 6900 XT first virtually and as a purely digital PowerPoint foil tiger. Now, when this card has finally materialized [...]
Introduction and specifications Ergonomics at the workplace and especially in the home office are often underestimated, but are becoming increasingly important. Whether it’s about preventing postural pain or simply being able to work more efficiently, it’s essential to perfectly adjust peripheral devices such as mouse, keyboard and [...]
With the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FE (Founders Edition) introduced today, NVIDIA shrinks the GA104, which we already know from the GeForce RTX 3070, even further. In terms of surface area, the chip is of course just as large or small, but also slightly trimmed. Still higher yield and thus a better availability, a similarly good efficiency as with the [...]
Meanwhile, besides the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX-6000 series, there are also various board partner cards (not) for sale, of which two of these coveted specimens are already in the lab for at least one public test. The continued unavailability is all the more annoying as these products are really good and [...]
Overview and requirements You know what that’s like? In and around your PC there are dozens of hard disks, on each one there are different files, you never find anything and space is always limited anyway. Now, you could just buy a ready-made NAS from, for example Synology or Qnap, but that’s not an option for small wallets [...]
Barely half a year after I tested the EK-AIO 240 D-RGB, the EK-AIO Elite has been added. According to EK Waterblocks, the regular EK-AIO became one of the best-selling articles after a short time, so that the company would like to expand its own assortment a little more. The design has been largely retained, but the polarising RGB acrylic pump [...]
Even though AMD has solved the determination of Tjunction (“hotspot temperature”) differently with the new Radeon graphics cards (Navi21) and measures and calculates much more widely, it is precisely this temperature that is the linchpin for telemetry. This in turn means that the applied clock rates including voltages, the fan control [...]
Yeah, we did it again, and better this time. Especially since our forum member Gurdi probably won one of the main prizes in the silicone lottery, as his RX 6800 in reference design shows very impressively what can be done if you had a lucky hand with the order button. I can spoil it in advance, because his card reached an average stable and above [...]
Would you like a little more or a little less? The overclocking limit of the Radeon RX 6800 XT isn’t particularly large, so the cheaper RX 6800 already looks much more interesting. But you won’t be able to pull out any trees here either, because AMD is now following the example of NVIDIA and is completely sealed off with the [...]
Without wanting to spoil everyone’s joy with a hasty spoiler in the first sentence: AMD is also back in GPUs. And how! Nevertheless, despite all the euphoria about the enormous performance boost, one must remain fair and consider the entire pixel cosmos: performance (rasterization, DXR, compute), feature set, electrical as well as mechanical [...]
I have already photographed the Radeon RX 68o0XT in part 1, now it’s the turn of the smaller sister, which might even be number one in demand. The price is hot, but still secret. So let’s unpack what aunt Lisa sent me as a second DLC, because it’s worth it again. And those who think I simply continued to use the pictures of the [...]
The tension is naturally at the stop, there is not much missing before the bullet snaps off. Today there is a first twitch, where I can give you some data and of course show you what I am already allowed to show in my own pictures: superficialities and the outfit on light metal, plastic and kerfuffle. You may simply browse through the pages and [...]
The Polish company COOLING.PL with its SilentiumPC / SPCGear brands is perhaps best known here in Germany for its ready-made systems or the ZackZack offers from Alternate. Why the name does not ring a bell directly can be partly answered by the company philosophy: ” No aggressive marketing, no flashy advertising banners and huge slogans [...]
Currently, there are many patches, new BIOS versions and various minor teething troubles with selected motherboard and CPU configurations, for example regarding the maximum achievable fabric clock rate. Unfortunately, most people quickly forget about a problem that could disturb the new Holy Trinity of motherboard, CPU and graphics card: certain [...]
If you take a look at the German charts – the CPU coolers of course – then the coolers of the manufacturer Scythe with beQuiet are jostling for the top places. With 18 years of experience in the field of passive and silent cooling, the Tokyo-based company, including a branch in Germany, should be well prepared for this battle. What [...]
Of course, you’ll be amazed if, for example, three supposedly identical cards from one manufacturer have completely different temperatures or fan speeds and this is then reflected very similarly in the reviews of colleagues, which are supposedly contradictory. No, it’s not that the editors don’t know what they are doing [...]
Since the other two AMD CPUs have arrived and I was able to get a replacement CPU for the Ryzen 9 5900X (and buy it), I have revised the whole launch article and added the missing entries. This would give us the quartet of Ryzen 5 5600X, , Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 9 5950X now complete and we can ask ourselves which CPU we really need [...]
Need For Speed (NFS) looks back on 25 years of life and suffering, which couldn’t have been more varied. And since it is very trendy to simply revive old games at a reasonable price instead of creating something new, EA has also reached into the moth box a little bit. But instead of rehashing real classics like NFS Hot Pursuit 2, NFS [...]
This article is the premiere of the big topic 3D printing on IgorsLab, so I want to offer an easy start for beginners and interested people. I myself have been working with FDM printers since about the beginning of 2018 and own two different models with many tinkerings around them. What follows will be a mixture of generally important basic [...]
