The reason behind and restrictions Cyberpunk 2077 sets new standards for graphics and therefore hardware. But not only the graphics card and CPU, but also the RAM can play an important role for the FPS, as we recently found out when testing the Patriot Viper Steel RGB for the first time with Cyberpunk as benchmark. In today’s review [...]

Patriot’s Viper Steel series has been around for a while and is probably known by most as a DDR4 secret tip for its good price/performance ratio without unnecessary bells and whistles. But now the RGB illumination of the universe is unstoppable and so the Viper Steel RGB series is launched today. At launch, there are models with clock speeds [...]
After the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX 6000 series, the XFX RX 6800 XT Merc 319 16 GB has also found its way to my lab as a board partner card. The continued unavailability of all of these cards to the masses is all the more annoying because these products are really good and competitive graphics cards that deserved [...]
The latest USB podcast microphone from Blue is called Yeti X and is a 4-condenser microphone, which is currently available in the standard version for around 135 euros from various retailers. The biggest innovation with this microphone is that it can be customized using Logitech’s G-Hub software. This has never been possible with any Blue [...]
The new Big Navi cards are released and the 6800/6800 XT and the new one recently celebrated their debut. Our community member Gurdi couldn’t help but take a closer look at the AMD cards this time as well. That’s exactly why I let Gurdi continue writing, because it’s his user review, in which he invested a lot of time himself and [...]
With the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A for the new RX 6900 XT, 6800 XT and 6800, AMD now also has the right coolers for the current Radeon cards to the side. Big Navi on Ice is not quite there yet, but at least the chip and the circuit board is a well cooled submarine, so it’s really nice under water. Such a water cooling system [...]
Somehow, despite a permanent lack of time, my fingers itched very badly during the current water cooling test. And because I just screwed the card onto a water block anyway, it just had to be done. With the MorePowerTool I raised the TGP from 255 watts to 320 watts, increased the power limit in the Wattman by another 15%, set the GPU clock to 2730 [...]
Even if one or the other might think, I’m taking some time off after all these launches – this is (unfortunately) not the case and there is more to do than ever before. However, much of this work has to be carried out in parallel and is usually bound to various NDAs with regard to the respective publication period. But I can still [...]
2020 was actually a first-class year for technological innovation, but it will probably also go down in history as the year of the ultimate frustration of discouraged consumers, when the target group will end up not being able to buy what has been on their wish list for a long time: graphics cards and processors, power supplies and last but not [...]
Meanwhile, besides the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX-6000 series, there are also various board partner cards (not) for sale, of which two of these coveted specimens are already in the lab for at least one public test. The continued unavailability is all the more annoying as these products are really good and [...]
Overview and requirements You know what that’s like? In and around your PC there are dozens of hard disks, on each one there are different files, you never find anything and space is always limited anyway. Now, you could just buy a ready-made NAS from, for example Synology or Qnap, but that’s not an option for small wallets [...]
Barely half a year after I tested the EK-AIO 240 D-RGB, the EK-AIO Elite has been added. According to EK Waterblocks, the regular EK-AIO became one of the best-selling articles after a short time, so that the company would like to expand its own assortment a little more. The design has been largely retained, but the polarising RGB acrylic pump [...]
Yeah, we did it again, and better this time. Especially since our forum member Gurdi probably won one of the main prizes in the silicone lottery, as his RX 6800 in reference design shows very impressively what can be done if you had a lucky hand with the order button. I can spoil it in advance, because his card reached an average stable and above [...]
The Polish company COOLING.PL with its SilentiumPC / SPCGear brands is perhaps best known here in Germany for its ready-made systems or the ZackZack offers from Alternate. Why the name does not ring a bell directly can be partly answered by the company philosophy: ” No aggressive marketing, no flashy advertising banners and huge slogans [...]
Currently, there are many patches, new BIOS versions and various minor teething troubles with selected motherboard and CPU configurations, for example regarding the maximum achievable fabric clock rate. Unfortunately, most people quickly forget about a problem that could disturb the new Holy Trinity of motherboard, CPU and graphics card: certain [...]
