Raijintek Morpheus meets GeForce RTX 3080 – DIY rebuild á la MacGyver and the pitfalls of the hot GDDR6X | Practice

While cleaning up in the storage, I found a virtually unused Raijintek Morpheus prototype that was supposed to clarify the difference between copper and aluminum heatsinks on RAM and VRM ages ago. Fittingly, the GeForce RTX 3080 reference board is also on the shelf of good deeds in the test lab, including a universal backplate that could be [...]


NVIDIA AD102, AD103 and AD104 – Estimated development and production schedule and why there is no real information about the new GeForce yet

To put it briefly: vigilance and secrecy meet industrial mass production and the technical preparations for it. It’s not like I don’t have any information at all that I could post in any form and with the necessary sense of responsibility, but you have to clearly separate between two things here. At the beginning, there is the [...]


HYTE Revolt 3 PC Case Revire – Cute cheese grater with a big potential

You could almost think that today there would be another review of the NZXT H1, which recently got a revised version, but no, this is about the Revolt 3 case from HYTE, a brand of the system dealer iBUYPOWER, which looks similar at first glance. According to their own statement, they want to “show their commitment to the DIY market.” [...]


Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A (2022) with Sapphire Radeon RX 6950 XT Nitro+ Pure Review – 2.8 GHz++ are not a problem

Alphacool has given the Aurora Acryl GPX-A Eisblock a complete redesign, promising better flow and lower temperatures across the block. So why not test the 2022 version together with a Sapphire RX 6950XT Nitro+ Pure, which was already disassembled in the 3D scanner anyway? Of course, I don’t want to spoil anything, but the temperatures as [...]


Visually pleasing pixel acceleration with upscaling? AMD follows up with FSR 2.0! Deathloop practice test with FSR vs. DLSS and a lot of measurements | Part 1 Performance

Better late than never, or what was that? Yes, unfortunately I am late with today’s topic, because the launch of AMD’s FSR 2.0 was already on 12.05.2022. At that time I was traveling abroad on business and therefore could not do any tests. Probably many of you have already dealt with the topic on various YouTube channels or other sites [...]


HPE Instant On (not only) for small business: Aruba Access Point AP22 with Wi-Fi 6 and 1930 8G Class4 PoE 2SFP Switch Review

I admit it, I’ve been putting off the topic of Wi-Fi 6 for ages. But in the meantime, in addition to the appropriate smartphones, I also own several clients that can use Wi-Fi 6, but are not allowed to, because my good old Fritz!Box 7590 does not allow this. And I have long considered whether I do not separate once between business and [...]


Affordable DDR5 lottery with potential peak performance – Patriot Signature Line DDR5-4800 modules in overclocking test | Review

SK Hynix 16 Gbit M-Die is known to be the holy grail in terms of DDR5 overclocking, at least at time of writing. The prices for the fastest kits with clock rates in the XMP profile of over 6000 Mbps are still quite expensive. However, if you dare to work on the clock and timings of the RAM yourself anyway, cheaper kits with the same ICs are an [...]
