If you also hear what you see, the external analog amplifier has a nasty background hum, the headphones are much too quiet, and the sound comes across much too flat and powerless in other ways as well, then something is obviously rotten with the system. But where is the best place to start and, above all, what are the causes? I have already [...]

Today I want to talk about a guilty pleasure of mine, the overclocking of RAM, more precisely DDR5 and its timings. There is a strange difference between the specifications of JEDEC, the standard’s committee, and the Intel specifications of the Alder Lake CPUs of the 12th generation. And even though the exact functionality of the individual [...]
Today’s test was not only requested by many readers, but almost insisted on. So I bought the part for almost 40 euros after all and was just as shocked as most who had complained so loudly about the product. A fan whose RRP is around 43 Euros and which is hardly available on the market for significantly less than 40 Euros already sets [...]

The new Eiswolf 2 from Alphacool is actually no stranger, however it too now uses the re-design of the Aurora Acryl GPX-A ice block along with better flow and lower temperatures across the entire block. That’s exactly why, after testing the waterblock with a Sapphire RX 6950XT Nitro+ Pure, I also tested the approx. 245 euro expensive AiO [...]
This was already true 10 years ago: Passively cooled mid-range graphics cards have become rare exotics. Often enough, the power loss to be dissipated and thus also the heat generated are too great. Passively cooling these cards requires not only a sophisticated cooling solution, but also the right operating environment. Powercolor has not changed [...]
While cleaning up in the storage, I found a virtually unused Raijintek Morpheus prototype that was supposed to clarify the difference between copper and aluminum heatsinks on RAM and VRM ages ago. Fittingly, the GeForce RTX 3080 reference board is also on the shelf of good deeds in the test lab, including a universal backplate that could be [...]
Since readers explicitly asked for the Sharkoon Silent Storm 120 mm ARGB case fan and we recently reviewed it, we have now also taken a closer look at the equally expensive 140 mm model. With street prices of also under 11 Euros, you get an ARGB case fan in 140 mm that could not only convince in the test, but is also easy on the wallet. Of course [...]
