First of all, I can actually reassure everyone with some newer hardware, because the discussions about the compatibility with TPM 2.0 and especially the exploding prices for external TPM modules have virtually expoded in the last few days since Microsoft’s announcements about Windows 11 and the availability of such modules is now close to [...]

Reader requests are of course our command and so today we have a big comparison test with 6 popular 140mm case fans. And yes, fans are a dime a dozen, but in the end, which fan fits which system and which budget? Is a model suitable as a case fan and how does it really perform on different radiators? What about the real speed range, how high is [...]
After the last article about system latency (NVIDIA Reflex & Boost vs. Radeon Boost and ZERO vs. AMD Anti-Lag), we should urgently discuss a few things about testing. So today we’re going to take a look at NVIDIA LDAT in terms of the USB ports it uses. For this I tested two different possibilities regarding the use of LDAT. The AMD [...]
Ah, so that’s it! AMD has finally dropped support for its GCN GPU architecture, which includes the Radeon HD 7000, RX 200, RX 300 and Fury series graphics cards. This is a bit of a surprise, but not entirely unexpected. The mentioned graphics card families are thus put into the so-called legacy status and no further driver versions are [...]
With the new Prime series, Steelseries wants to offer performance-focused peripherals that have (once again) been developed together with eSports professionals.

Dare to Challenge – rarely has a slogan been more fitting than that of the Z590 OC Formula, ASRock’s new high-end overclocking motherboard! Intel’s latest mainstream CPUs of the Rocket Lake family don’t bring any big advantages for gamers, but for friends of memory overclocking the 11th generation opens completely new [...]
The fact that China’s most important container ports are only operating at half power and that we are probably heading for the next global supply disaster is extremely worrying, but it is not even the reason for the component problem discussed here in the second part. But first let us come to the general situation. Due to a recent outbreak [...]
What lasts long – usually becomes good. However, I took extra time for today’s test with the question “NVIDIA NULL and Reflex vs. AMD Anti-Lag and Radeon Boost, which works better?”. For some time now I have been writing about the topic of latencies and there have been a few articles from me on this topic. In particular, we [...]
