Since we were asked again and again for 140 mm fans, we now also begin with the test of the somewhat larger case fans. As a future reference, the Noctua NF-A14 FLX, which costs approx. 21 euros, will therefore compete against the reference of our 120 mm fans in today’s individual test, which makes for a very nice comparison to work out the [...]

For the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE (Founders Edition) unveiled today, NVIDIA uses the full GA104.1 In contrast to the GA102, a smaller chip like the GA104 usually promises higher yield and thus better availability, improved efficiency and cheaper production. So much for the theory. Except that this often clashes with practice. Because the question [...]
Sometimes it’s the really small things that fail and even such a small, quite unknown cog in the gearbox can stop a whole machine in its tracks. The chip shortage is not a new topic, but now the whole notebook manufacturers are threatened by new trouble from a quite unexpected corner. Intel had not only launched a new notebook CPU with Tiger [...]
Those who already know my previous articles also know about my second hobby besides hardware: 3D printers! And today it’s about how well both interests can be combined. What follows is a mix of image gallery, buildlog and review: My goal was that I wanted to “produce” the case for a gaming system by myself, mainly to see how far [...]
As some of you might have noticed, there have been less articles from me on igorslab.de the last weeks than usual. The reason for this, besides the usual fubar in my day job, was my participation in the G.Skill Tweakers Contest on hwbot.org, which I even managed to win in the “Ambient” category shortly before the end. The goal of [...]
You know I’m not a fan of limitless energy waste that the mining boom keeps pushing to new heights. It’s no secret that a new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has its difficulties with Etherum and that it’s hardly worthwhile with this card here in Germany due to the lack of efficiency. That was to be expected. But what about all the other [...]
After the hot autumn of 2020 and the now almost seemingly eternal graphics card thirst, we have in the meantime also learned many new terms and various hardships. If you’re not into SM games, i.e. scalpers & mining, it’s really hard to realize your dream of a new, super-fast pixel slingshot in a reasonable frame at the moment. And [...]
In the course of a soon to be released crossover project of my two hobbies hardware and 3D printing MSI kindly provided me with this board. And even though mainboards are not really my area, I took a closer look at it within my possibilities. The following is the short test: Packaging and scope of delivery Compared to the almost container [...]
Since our readers have repeatedly requested the tests as push, pull and push-pull variants, we simply combine today’s re-test of an upper-class fan with this request. Just under 28 euros is certainly not cheap, but still significantly cheaper than an ARGB fan from other premium brands. Blacknoise advertises the Noiseblocker BP12x-P-BL PWM [...]
Before we get to the content of today’s review, I have to be fair and clarify the premise first. As a home office sysadmin, I spend several hours a day in meetings with colleagues and clients and depend on a high-quality audio solution. With surrounding neighbors and air conditioning another challenge in the summer, Active Noise Cancellation [...]
