One or the other will probably think: Sharkoon again? No, I’m not getting paid for this! On the contrary, I bought the keyboard myself in April 2020 along with the Sharkoon Light² 200. I’ve been using the keyboard for working, writing, and gaming ever since. So it was time to write a review about it and to leave my personal impressions [...]

In the last review I introduced you to the Shure Aonic 50 Overears, today I introduce you to another product from the Shure Aonic range: the Aonic 5 in-ears with matching Bluetooth 5 adapters. The Aonic 5 can definitely be classified in the high-end category, and this is also reflected in the price. According to the RRP, we have to put down a [...]
If one installs all BIOS updates for the motherboard and current drivers, then also with the older AMD graphics cards e.g. in the device manager and the properties the “large memory area” is indicated as available resource, which caused in the meantime many speculations whether and what the whole thing could bring then perhaps [...]
Unofficially it went with the ComboAM4PI V2 1.2.0.1 already longer, but since 03.03.2021 AMD announced also officially the support of Zen2. Up to now, AMD required a current Zen3 CPU, a B550 or X570 motherboard and an updated BIOS. Or just a current Intel solution. Now also officially Zen2 and it is time to draw here once the direct comparison [...]
Update from 09.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC5 Lower reference frequency values for Zen3 (extra safety when pressing the TUNE button) The number of attempts to contact the SMU is increased from 5 to 10 Testing Mode – only AVX Light (fixed a bug where it was possible to unlock this switcher) Update from 04.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC4 As we [...]
The Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT have already been launched, the Radeon RX 6900 XT will follow on 08.12.2020. And what’s underneath? Nvidia blows out one card after the other with relish, because the GeForce RTX 3070 was already launched, the RTX 3060 Ti follows on 01.12.2020, the RTX 3060 even later. And how’s AMD? The Radeon RX 6700 [...]
The board partners are currently tinkering with the BIOS Generation Tool to make the implementation of the feature, announced for late March / early April, as user-friendly as possible. And of course, such measures also accompany various rumors, one of which, however, can probably already be debunked. After all, the recently launched GeForce RTX [...]
Anyone who spends a lot of time in a home office knows the dilemma: one computer for work, one computer for private use, both with monitors and peripherals, but both somehow have to be on the same desk. Chaos ensues, ergonomics and productivity suffer. The remedy is a KVM switch. We’ll take a look at what that is and what an implementation [...]
The Nerdytech Couchmaster Cycon 2 is the successor of the first version since the end of last year and Nerdytech must have taken up the feedback on the previously released products, because there are only a few points of criticism. Now it’s not like I realize every test request immediately and euphorically, because it is as always also a [...]
The mining industry, and it really is a billion-dollar market by now, is supposed to be fed with new (old?) GPUs to help equalize the current, very tight market situation. This is exactly the news that hit the press yesterday. But it also raises questions, because the whole thing doesn’t seem quite so simple. Not technically, either. But [...]
As a customer and connoisseur, one associates the Toxic with the most toxic and fastest variant of a graphics card series from Sapphire. There have been quite a few highly interesting graphics cards in history, which meanwhile already enjoy cult status and are true collector’s items. And then came Big Navi, 2021 and the Sapphire RX 6900XT [...]
With the Skiller Mech SGK30, Sharkoon wanted to bring a mechanical keyboard for gamers to the market, which can be classified in the popular “good and cheap” segment. And if the sales charts of the comparison portals are to be believed, then not only has this goal been achieved, but also the number 1 position of the most popular item [...]
With the Xtreme SKUs, ADATA XPG expands the existing Spectrix D50 RAM portfolio with two products in the high-end segment with actually extreme XMP clock rates of 4800 and 5000 MT/s. And to spoil a little in advance, for once not Samsung B-Die, but SK Hynix DJR serves as the basis for this flagship RAM. We will take a close look at whether this [...]
Let’s put it this way: it would have actually surprised all of us if NVIDIA didn’t use this hotspot reading as well. The only thing is that the usable interface for common third-party software is somewhat sparsely documented. It is only a question of time that sooner or later we will succeed in uncovering this little [...]
In early 2020, NZXT unveiled the Z series, the latest generation of its popular Kraken all-in-one water cooling systems, and its integrated display not only sparked a new trend among other manufacturers, but also a whole wave of funny pictures on social media. Whether the most expensive compact water cooler on the market can also keep up in terms [...]
