For cheap air coolers with real coldplate instead of direct-touch heatpipe, the selection is quite small, Scythe has with the Kotetsu Mark II in the “normal” and Asus TUF variant one of the few candidates in the offer. How the little brother of the already tested Fuma 2 does in the test, reveals the following article: Packaging / Scope [...]

The fact that you should use your RAM at least in dual-channel if possible has fortunately become widely accepted in the industry today. However, unlike channels, ranks are still talked about very rarely, if at all. Many publications, some of them very well known, prefer instead to talk about “sticks” or modules affecting performance [...]
The Trident Z RGB and Neo series from G.SKILL have been around almost as long as DDR4. However, for the new Ryzen 5000 CPUs, G.SKILL has refreshed their SKUs and added new XMP variants specifically optimized for Ryzen. Today we’re looking at the top of the line model of the new variants, a 2x 16GB kit in dual-rank configuration, with Samsung [...]
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 [...]
With today’s release of the GeForce RTX 3070 FE (Founders Edition), NVIDIA is simultaneously introducing a smaller chip, the GA104, which is smaller in area and therefore brings all the known advantages. Higher yield rate and thus better availability, improved efficiency and somewhat cheaper to produce. To what extent the GeForce RTX 3070 FE [...]
Somehow by chance and rather unconsciously we arrived at the laptop-weeks, but the picture fits together nicely. Yesterday we tested an Apex 15 from XMG and thought about 6 possible CPUs (“A barebone against 6 CPUs – which Ryzen processor fits best in the XMG Apex 15?”). Today I will prove that in many creative and productive [...]
But I live in the here and now and there it has become (as so often) a bit tight with time, but of course something will be finished. Actually, there was a little bit more planned, but there was the sampling god and a more complex motherboard conversion planned, which almost cost me an extra day. Since it’s not a sponsored sample, it will be [...]
I took a guest article by Sascha Hochweber as an opportunity to ask our readers specifically about their own gaming behaviour and to include these surveys in the following articles. According to a recent survey of the only4gamers.de page, there were more than 2.5 billion active gamers worldwide in 2019. Although this also includes players on [...]
With the first Generation of Ryzen, AMD has shown that end-user CPUs need to be limited to four cores and eight threads. Ryzen Gen. 2 introduced broader support for higher memory clock speeds thanks to optimized Zen architecture and gradually expanded market spread through competitive pricing. The third generation of Ryzen CPUs, at least on paper [...]
New revision, new happiness? Let's see what Alphacool made of the ice block GPX, because there is now a new model M02, which is compatible with both the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080, and the RTX 2070. Today's test has to show how well all this performs and where you can classify the cooler in direct comparison to your competitors. In my [...]
