Must inexpensive really have been cheap and as a purchase in the end maybe even free? Not at all, if you look at the rather plain-looking Arctic P12 PWM, which manages to bring tears to the eyes of a large part of the significantly more expensive competitors. But I don’t want to anticipate the test result, even though many readers have been [...]

Again Notebook Weeks at Igor’s Lab? Well, sort of yes and no, but I’ve now had the chance to at least take a longer inventory in direct comparison of two very similar notebooks, the one tested today containing the successor to the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q tested at the time. A notebook isn’t a desktop PC with a beast of a CPU and is [...]
As threatened last week, the Alphacool ice block GPX-N won’t be the only modification to my RTX 3090 Founders Edition. Today we’re going to look at the shunt resistors, the ones the GPU uses to measure how much power it’s consuming and if necessary downclocks itself if Nvidia’s limits of 350 or 400 W are reached. While [...]
Recently, be quiet! has given its most affordable CPU cooler a successor, which we will take a closer look at in the following article. How much cooler can you get for cheap and it is a good alternative 5 years later? Packaging and scope of delivery The box is, as typical for the manufacturer, designed in black and only the orange in the logo and [...]
Fans are a dime a dozen, but which fan fits which system? Is a model suitable as a case fan and how does it really perform on different radiators? What about the real speed range, how high is the start-up speed and what parameters does such a fan offer over the speed range, including the usually unavoidable noise emission? Exactly for all these [...]

Corsair RM850x W (2021) PSU Review – Suitable gold piece for Rocket Lake and thirsty graphics cards?
After almost three years in production, Corsair has finally decided to update its popular RMx line to better suit the needs of today’s graphics hardware. There are again five models with capacities ranging from 550 W to 1000 W. All are fully modular and the OEM is still Channel Well Technology, as before. And since I’m not always just [...]
If you were able to purchase an RTX 3090 Founders Edition (FE) at launch for MSRP like I was, you can’t really complain. Ample performance for 144 FPS in most games even at the highest graphics settings and, if we’re being honest, the value increase of over 50%, naturally add to the appreciation. Only, as is so often the case, there [...]
After the 612 Stealth recently had to prove itself on the testbench, the big brother now follows. Find out how the block does in the article below: Packaging and scope of delivery The box is similar to the smaller cooler down to the last detail, but it is much bigger. A large product picture on the front is complemented by an exploded view with [...]
We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and Core i9-10900K against Zen3 – Last man standing in silicon” that Intel’s 11th generation doesn’t act particularly squeamish at the power supply. But also not detailed enough, because there was one thing I couldn’t [...]
