If you take a look at the German charts – the CPU coolers of course – then the coolers of the manufacturer Scythe with beQuiet are jostling for the top places. With 18 years of experience in the field of passive and silent cooling, the Tokyo-based company, including a branch in Germany, should be well prepared for this battle. What [...]

Of course, you’ll be amazed if, for example, three supposedly identical cards from one manufacturer have completely different temperatures or fan speeds and this is then reflected very similarly in the reviews of colleagues, which are supposedly contradictory. No, it’s not that the editors don’t know what they are doing [...]
Since the other two AMD CPUs have arrived and I was able to get a replacement CPU for the Ryzen 9 5900X (and buy it), I have revised the whole launch article and added the missing entries. This would give us the quartet of Ryzen 5 5600X, , Ryzen 7 5800X, Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 9 5950X now complete and we can ask ourselves which CPU we really need [...]
This article is the premiere of the big topic 3D printing on IgorsLab, so I want to offer an easy start for beginners and interested people. I myself have been working with FDM printers since about the beginning of 2018 and own two different models with many tinkerings around them. What follows will be a mixture of generally important basic [...]
Currently I was able to test two of the new Ryzen CPUs with Zen3 core, which could not be more different. On the one hand, there is the Ryzen 9 5900X with 12 cores (24 threads) as the new, two-largest miracle product of the upper class, and on the other hand, there is the Ryzen 5 5600X with 6 cores (12 threads), which confidently removes the image [...]
A good 5 years ago, the fourth revision of the Double Data Rate memory has become the standard for the broad mass of PCs, and with first information about the market introduction of DDR5 next year, the DDR4 standard will probably soon reach the end of its life cycle again. The production techniques and products of the DDR4 manufacturers are [...]
I certainly hadn’t promised you too much – autumn (and winter) will be hot, even at the power outlet. The current presentation is finished and I have summarized the most important slides as a gallery for you. Since AMD unfortunately only provided some hand-picked media with material, this must now be done retrospectively, so I ask for [...]
Oops, I did it again… Okay, I’m not blonde and I don’t jump around the universe like a ball lightning on ecstasy, but sometimes you wonder what’s being packed together in the individual factories. Good for those who have enough pad reserves. Shall we try again? Which means that the card literally screams for it. But [...]
As always, you have to be careful with such benchmarks, even if the material I received yesterday seems quite plausible. Two sources, very different approaches or settings and yet in the end a certain coverage of the results – one can at least already see a certain trend. The most plausible results for me come from an Ultra-HD run [...]
The large RX 6900XT will be AMD exclusive according to AMD’s own statements (“This card will be (for now) AMD exclusive. The Radeon RX 6900XT will be the AMD flagship series, which according to our sources will be in limited quantity”) probably first an item for the gallery, just like the Titan RTX. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which [...]
During the last days a lot of leaking has already taken place, nevertheless I have deliberately held back in order to be able to obtain more information in detail and above all to be able to verify it. I had to learn from my own information about Ampere often enough that most of the news of other media, based on it, were then unfortunately [...]
TumApisak has discovered something again, specifically a new entry in the database of Sisoft Sandra, and this is also promptly distributed as usual on Twitter. It seems that a multi-GPU setup consisting of two Intel Xe LPs with 1.25 GHz clock speed each was used and entered there before a run. But whether this is really a real dedicated mGPU [...]
With the Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro, Palit’s “butter-and-bread” Ampere card has also been in the trade since the launch, or rather should be. The manufacturer is not responsible for the availability. In contrast to the slim Founders Edition, Palit has opted for the more bulky 2.5-slot design and is putting a card on the [...]
Hi everyone, in our forums, questions such as “why is my graphics card getting so hot” are often answered with a hint towards FPS limiters. But it happened only recently that NVIDIA has finally packed this function into their own driver. Time for dedicated article on this topic from a gaming laptop brand’s point of view. But [...]
Even if the GeForce RTX 3080 is generally only available in smaller quantities at the market, I want to offer nevertheless briefly from the market start of the KFA2 RTX 3080 SG still a suitable test of this Custom solution. In contrast to the rather narrow Founders Edition, KFA2 relies on the well-known 2.5-slot design and puts a card on the [...]
