Anyone who has followed igorsLAB closely over the last few months will certainly have noticed the heat conductive pads on which I have been weakening for a long time. At the latest since Nvidia’s memory fiasco with the RTX 2080 Ti, the more or less funny Space Invaders and the explanation search, we now also know what we can do to prevent [...]
All the confusion and confusion about the sudden appearance of the memory temperature value of AMD's current graphics cards is understandably causing uncertainty for many users. Modern memory chips, such as Microns GDDR6 modules allow the internal protection mechanisms (e.g. the down clock) reading the chip temperature Tjunction, which in [...]
All the errors and confusions about the suddenly occurring value of the memory temperatures of AMD’s current graphics cards understandably lead to uncertainty among many users. Modern memory chips, such as Micron’s GDDR6 modules, allow you to read out the value of the chip temperature Tjunction, which is read out internally for special [...]
It's seemingly en vogue to tear up and tear up everything that's been on offer as part of the NfS series since Most Wanted. And one should beat up the filmmakers of "The Fast and the Furious" at least once a day that they managed so magnificently to enliven this series for years to come. But I am now consciously opposing the [...]
The previous practice of real-time measurements (even over longer periods of time) only with the oscillographs is certainly not bad and it also allows deep insights into the switching behavior of graphics cards and CPUs due to the high resolution, but it is always only possible possible to capture a sub-area of the overall system. Interactions [...]
I just had to separate the tests because the MSI GTX 1660 Super Gaming X is different from the three "normal" test patterns. Apart from the price of 280 Euros, for which you can get a simple knitted and unsuperted Ti with more shaders, MSI has really cut the sandbox shovel and tried to bake the biggest cake. Then you have even 10 watts [...]
Nvidia becomes the new super-company and Master Jensen gallantly gives the Superman. Because from today it will be even more upand and in between. The Over-GeForce GTX 1660 Super, like its slower sister, is based on the TU116, more precisely the TU116-300, an already known graphics processor that supports Turing's improved shaders, new cache [...]
Sometimes you think you’re in the wrong movie and then you wonder what a minute’s life costs. Well, I could have guessed it and I was already on the right track on Sunday, but had discarded the right idea by wrong trust in the logic of the developers. The review of the three X570 motherboards had to be done without the Asus TUF Gaming [...]
The fact that I am given prototypes, PVT or evaluation samples in advance by various production products is not new. Also, with a little luck, you can pick up one or the other good piece in advance at the OEM, which you know so well, without having to beg the customer in question big. Be it as it is – something always works and it is never [...]
The Raijintek Samos RX 5700 XT, which I tested today, is so new that it is not even listed at the dealers. My test sample has made it on an unofficial way from Asia directly to the laboratory, so that I can already present you exclusively a product that will only be officially available for purchase in the coming days. I already feel so slowly [...]
Let's be honest: I was really looking forward to the game. With Ghost Recon Wildlands I have already spent a lot of my rather scarce free time in the past – voluntarily and really motivated. That's when the new game came to me just right. Or maybe not? I'm still really at a sway, whether all this has been mixed together [...]
The title says it all – I’ll show you what tools you need and the steps for disassembling the board in preparation for the water cooling conversion. And the best way to explain this things is a video 🙂
I deliberately waited a bit to not only press speculative data into a news article, but also to come up with some more detailed content. AMD and Nvidia of course continue their small-scale launch war as usual, with one leading and the other following. So good, so well known. But what further information do we have in the meantime? Of course, I [...]
Corsair has also recently entered the water plans sector with the Hydro-X series, offering selected products (all manufactured by experienced finishers). I had already tested a part in a PC project, today the GPU water block has to believe in it. Cold maker or blender? That's what I already know now and you after reading the review. And yes [...]
There’s one thing you really have to admit to Sapphire: when it comes to cooling, hardly anybody can fool them when it comes to AMD cards. Provided you are willing to pay a certain surcharge for this service compared to their normal cards like Pulse. The Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro Plus tested today shows one thing very clearly: weight and [...]
After the first minutes with the new MSI RX 5700 XT a déjà-vu attacked me, because I suddenly had the legendary MSI R9 390 X 8G in mind again. Fast thing, a bit hot and by no means a despiser of food, on the contrary. Well, as you know, power comes from fuel and that’s why MSI has aligned itself to it. The concept to bring the fastest RX [...]
