Today’s article is based on various investigations in which I came across Thermal Hero products by chance. After more than 60 products, both the Thermal Hero Ultra and the much more expensive Quantum have remained in my memory as negative examples of how cheap products, which were only designed for the brief benchmark moment, can be brought [...]

Admittedly, the headline is a bit sensationalist. But compared to the total thermal failure of the first Era generation, things could only get better. Read on to find out how Fractal Design has transformed the Era 2 into a really good ITX case. With the first Era, Fractal made the fatal mistake of concentrating exclusively on the design of the [...]
The Sharkoon Rebel P20 1200 is an affordable high-power power supply that complies with the latest ATX specifications (v3.1) and can deliver double the power for a short time if required. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, as he has not only tested this power supply [...]
I had recently tested a current and originally packaged Noctua NT-H2 tube, which was purchased anonymously for me by the community and also rated in an article. This paste performed rather mediocre in the test. Due to many requests, the desired follow-up test is now available with an original paste from 2023 (thanks for sending it!) and two other [...]
The Ryzen AI 300 processors were launched on the market some time ago. AMD also recently introduced the new Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) technology, which is intended to offer a number of improvements and take the user experience to a new level. This technology will now also be usable with the Ryzen AI 300 processors. AMD plans to test the [...]
Today we are talking about Parker THERM-A-GAP GEL 60HF, which is also available as Parker THERM-A-GAP GEL 75HF, whereby the name says it all, because the bulk thermal conductivity is specified as 6.2 W/m-K or even 7.5 W/m-K. Since we know that very good pastes are actually around 5 to 6 if they are to be performant, durable AND easy to work with [...]
AMD has developed a new system-on-chip (SoC) for Sony’s PlayStation 5 Pro, as reported on blog.playstation.com, which brings a number of changes to the existing model. One focus is on the integration of 60 compute units (CUs) based on the RDNA 4 architecture. These represent an increase on the 36 CUs of the current PlayStation 5 model. In [...]
I have already written in detail about the determination of thermal resistance and thermal conductivity, but of course I also have to explain the second part of the measurements transparently, because I am not doing these measurements for their own sake, but for a good reason. The microscopy, material testing and measurement of the pastes and pads [...]
AMD has decided to change its business model, reports TomsHardware, and focus more on scalability in the GPU market rather than competing primarily in the high-end or enthusiast segment. This decision comes after years of competing with NVIDIA, where the strategy of focusing on expensive high-end products has not proven particularly successful [...]
Acer has announced that the new Predator Orion 7000 PO7-660 gaming PC will be equipped with the next-gen Intel Arrow Lake 200 processor, which should enhance the user experience. But what exactly can you expect from this new gaming PC from Acer? In addition to the previously mentioned Intel Arrow Lake 200 processor, the system will support up to [...]
