Ryzen 4000 “Vermeer” in B0 stepping more or less ready for the market, Cezanne with Vega and Van Gogh with Navi one step back | Exclusive

Intel’s current weakness in desktop CPUs might suggest that the long-awaited Ryzen 4000 generation might be a bit of a plaything for casual time management. Launch this year, yeah. But when, actually? Q4 is a three month long, very stretchy time window. And then, of course, there is the question of availability after the release. In order to [...]


Does NVIDIA for Ampere need a new power supply solution? The current Turing design as a bottleneck for Tensor and AI performance

I had already reported  a few things about NVIDIA’s new generation of Ampere cards in several articles and read the feedback on them. Interesting there were especially the extrapolations of the number of possible CUDA cores, where all comparisons to Turing regarding performance and efficiency and as a consequence also with the possible power [...]


 Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus in long-term test – Strong Sound plus an upgrade with Dolby Digital Live and DTS

The classic soundcard is dead, long live the classic soundcard? Somehow it is and I would like to explain it again with a longer self-experiment. I myself criticize the headphone outputs of the onboard sound solutions often enough and am always glad when motherboard manufacturers have followed the suggestions of customers and editors and improved [...]


CrankzWare RainPOW! 2.0 Review – RGB controller, intelligent fan control, image controlled monitor backlight and much more

One for all and all on one? it’s perfectly possible if you use the right hardware. With RainPOW! 2.0 the German startup CrankzWare has combined pretty much everything that can be read and controlled into one unit, as long as it has RGB and connectors. The advantage of the RainPOW! 2.0, which is completely manufactured in Germany, is however [...]


NVIDIA Ampere: New rumors about RTX Titan, RTX 3090, and RTX 3080 analyzed and why there’s a lot to be said against them

The problem here, as always, is of course the desire, ability and permission to write details. The fact that I took myself out of the race for a few days is probably also due to the fact that a lot of things have become a very difficult balancing act and tightrope walk. To publish unreflectedly everything that is leaked on Twitter, or better [...]


Caution rip-off! OpenCore Computer advertises a supposed hackintosh with AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and Radeon VII and forgets the essential

Sure, it would be too good to be true that you can buy for relatively small money, Oops Bitcoins, a fully functional Ryzentosh that suddenly eliminates all AMD hardware problems and is the first project to run really clean. Just the unlawful seizure of the name of the (rightly indignant) OpenCore community and the misuse of the corresponding logos [...]


350 watts for NVIDIA’s new top-of-the-line GeForce RTX “3090” Ampere model explained, chip area calculated and boards compared

Well, meanwhile there are several leaks of “pre-release” models of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3080, but I don’t really trust the roast published here, because I just assume design validation samples. And before I think about how to explain the 350 watts to you, I have created a simple super projection (and cut it a bit on the right [...]


Challenge: Optimizing AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with Boxed Cooler and Radeon RX 5700 in reference design? That’s how it works! | Tutorial

Our forum user casi30 has created an optimization guide for us, which should make the impossible possible, especially since the combination as CPU and GPU is already quite sporty. He cools an AMD Ryzen R7 3800X with the included Wraith Prism, runs a reference model of the Radeon RX 5700 for this purpose and finally optimized the whole thing [...]
