An SFX power supply with 1300W maximum power, is that possible? Yes! Cooler Master has done it, as the V1300 SFX is the most powerful SFX power supply on the market today. However, there is a catch (actually two): it can only deliver its full power with a 230VAC input. Basically, this power supply is a V1100 SFX designed for 230V networks, so it [...]

According to my information from manufacturers, there will be two TBP classes for the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 (without Ti), which is supposed to be launched in April. The more expensive models or OC cards with a TBP of up to 225 watts should continue to use the familiar 12VHPWR connector (or alternatively up to 2x 8-pin), but the models with a [...]
We have already explained several times that wireless mice have long since overcome their teething troubles and can now also be found in the esports sector. And the fact that Logitech and Razer are no longer the only ones is not news either. Last year Fritz introduced you to the GM41 mice with and without cables and today we take a look at the new [...]
First of all, I owe an apology to G.Skill, since the test sample was already sent to us last year, but the review is now online a few months later. The reason for this is that until recently we revised our test methodology for RAM kits in order to be able to test better and faster. However, the waiting time also benefits the Trident Z5’s [...]
Yes, it took a long time, and improvements were also constantly being made to the adapters, which then proved their worth in the long-term test. One must not forget that the topic with the rather hot 12VHPWR connections is richly complex and therefore quick fixes of any kind are completely forbidden. Of course, you could have just soldered a few [...]
It was long overdue, but is now finally official. In revision 2.01 of the ATX version 3.0 (Multi Rail Desktop Platform Power Supply) from February 2023, Intel has finally had the design of the contacts specified. This was preceded by months of investigations and tests, which have now also been completed. But it also proves that I was right with [...]
What’s next week, where I’ll continue to work ahead even on the weekend? Quite a lot! By popular demand, we will start with the Sapphire RX 7900XT Pulse, which I have not only tested extensively, but which we (Igor’s magnetic fingers!) are allowed to keep and raffle off in the community. I would like to thank Sapphire in advance [...]
Sometimes unusual situations require unusual solutions. In the circle of relatives there was a momentous accident. A glass of a certain brand of cola had tipped over and the broth ran straight from the desk into the perforated PC case. Igor’s LAB rushed to the rescue and tried to save what could be saved. When I receive calls for help from [...]
Today we want to find out what is really in the two extremely expensive pastes and what philosophy is behind the respective mixture. And to spoil it a bit in advance: The biggest difference here is really only the color. Chic baby blue in the tube against a nice baby pink from the can and two prices reminiscent of certain products with the gold [...]
First of all, I want to start this by saying that today’s article comes from the bottom of my nerd heart, out of love for hardware and overclocking and for having a fair competition and thus can not necessarily represent the opinion of all the editors, as not everyone is so intensively involved in it. It may not seem like anything worth writing [...]
The GeForce RTX 4090 is already very expensive as such, but there are also considerable price differences between the respective models and manufacturers, so it is definitely worth looking twice financially. The KFA2 GeForce RTX 4090 SG 24GB (1-Click-OC) is one such candidate, whose clever positioning might only be recognized at second glance. At [...]
Today I am testing the fourth and for now last water block for NVIDIA’s top model with the Watercool Heatkiller V Pro on the GeForce RTX 4090 FE. And I can spoil it in advance: all four coolers are very close to each other and the actual differences are only in the appearance and in some areas in the temperature, depending on the block [...]
When the children grow up, you can still use the bathroom stool quite smart in your own store. With this, we start the Sunday relaxed and sustainable and enjoy the rest. So please keep scrolling!
Even though I’m not the first to take a closer look at this – let’s call it “slightly different” – monitor with today’s article on the Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 OLED (that’s a mouthful), it’s going to go into a bit more detail today compared to most other reviews. What can already be [...]
Today we’re taking a look at the MSI Vigor GK71 with the new Sonic Blue Switches. The smooth clicky switches are the result of a collaboration between Kailh and MSI and position themselves in a rather understudied niche with short travel and low resistance, but allow for unexpectedly fast typing. Despite good equipment and interesting [...]
