Since we have already looked at the two smaller models, i.e. the inexpensive S70 and S80 with a 240mm radiator, we will only give the “big brother” a quick look today. This is visually identical to the S80 RGB, but has a larger radiator. In the following review, you can find out how Sharkoon’s first AiO water cooler compares [...]

RDNA3 has been on the market for quite some time and besides AMD’s reference cards, you usually only see reviews of the RX 7900XTX and usually only of the more expensive custom models. The RX 7900 XT currently plays a kind of shadowy existence, especially the somewhat cheaper models of the respective board partners. That was reason enough [...]
AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D has quickly gained popularity, securing a spot on the list of best CPUs. According to the new user benchmarks published on an independent platform, the octa-core chip achieves similarly good results on the cheap A620 boards as on the X670(E) mainboards. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D was particularly convincing in games and achieved [...]
Take a Ryzen 7 7700X, piggyback some 3D V-cache and halve the power consumption of the Intel Core i9-13900K. The half Ryzen 9 7950X is ready, which now comes to the customer as Ryzen 7 7800X3D without the second die and can still usually act just as fast in gaming. It’s not squaring the circle, but it’s close. As long as you use [...]
I’ve been testing the Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard from Asus for a while now and today I finally and officially have the review ready for you. In our baseline article about DDR5 RAM tests, the board was already mentioned very positively and has therefore established itself as the backbone for the test system. Not least the reliability and [...]
Probably most gamers know the following situation: A buddy has treated himself to an expensive gaming headset, enters the Discord server with a proud chest and starts raving. How do you explain to him now that his expensive new purchase sounds at most like a tin can and that he could have bought a superior combination of microphone and headphones [...]
AMD today officially releases the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the third X3D processor in the AMD Ryzen 7000 series. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D will be compatible with all MSI X670, B650 and A620 motherboards, allowing a wide range of configuration options for users. This processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, which gives it excellent performance. It also features a [...]
If you run slower, you sweat less. AMD probably thought about that at the time and decided to close a gap in the portfolio with the FX-8370E. But is the CPU itself really more efficient and what actually happens when you increase the clock a bit? There they were, 9 years ago: AMD’s three new FX models FX-8370, FX-8370E as well as FX-8320E [...]
AMD Zen 5 leaks contradict each other about the possible performance increase of the Ryzen 8000 CPUs
With the Zen architecture, AMD has made a remarkable comeback in recent years, as CPUs on the Zen architecture are able to compete with, and in some cases even surpass, Intel's processors. AMD's Zen 5 processors are the next generation of CPUs and are sure to bring further improvements and innovations in the architecture and performance of [...]
A little fun fact beforehand: Xilence was one of the first brands from which I (Tim, not Igor) tested a cooler several years ago. At that time I was not yet “firmly” on the road at IgorsLab! With really very reasonable prices Xilence has made a name for itself, until today they hold the #1 spot of the cheapest AiO watercooling with [...]
