No, I’m not going to test the cooling performance of radiators for PC cooling today, but I am going to take a closer look at the first six manufacturers and their current models to see whether they really do contain exactly what the marketing advertises and the customer buys in good faith in some cases. In the first part, I obtained [...]

If you’re into custom keyboards, you’ll come across them sooner or later: The infamous “Holy Panda” switches. Corsair made these switches available as part of the K65 Plus review and, after some delay, we are now finally able to test them. Some products have a reputation that precedes them. This is also the case with the [...]
Finally, an LG OLED panel in ultrawide 3440 x 1440p format, but this time on 34 inches. ASUS ROG is launching the Swift PG34WCDM onto the market. I was lucky enough to be able to test the monitor before the official launch. Unfortunately, the PG34WCDM still has the old RWBG subpixel layout and not the previously announced RWGB layout. It’s a [...]
I’ve already tested a few RTX 4070 Ti Super cards, but today it’s the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super EX Gamer 16 GB, which, in addition to ARGB, also wants to score points with its price of currently just under 900 euros. This is currently only 10 euros above the RRP, but it is an OC card and equipped with a disco feeling. The so [...]
With the Function 2 series, NZXT has given its mechanical keyboards an extensive makeover. Adjustable optical switches, PBT keycaps and 8000Hz polling are just the tip of the iceberg. Read our test to find out how the bolides perform in everyday use. First of all, I would like to briefly mention that the mice from NZXT have also received an [...]
With the K65 Plus Wireless, Corsair is taking the next step towards custom keyboards. PBT keycaps, interchangeable switches and the now common 75% layout are the ingredients of choice to gain a foothold in the highly competitive market. Read the test to find out whether they succeed. And yet another small keyboard that wants to torment me in [...]
No sooner have we finally caught up with the review of one of the most popular complete water cooling systems than there’s already a successor. So I won’t beat about the bush for long, here we go with the test report for version 3! And yes, Arctic obviously doesn’t just want to kill the CPUs with it, but also the competition with [...]

I have linked the relevant article again below, but today’s text is actually clear enough. In the Watercool HEATKILLER RAD 120-S Black I tested yesterday, I found simple and only average brass in the cooling channels instead of the advertised copper. Watercool reacted quite quickly after publishing the article and my video, but not in the [...]
We recently reported that malware was found in certain revisions of systems from the manufacturer Acemagic. As we had also tested these mini PCs and they were connected to my network, the matter was of course even more explosive. If you want to read the whole thing again, you can find the original article here: And even though I couldn’t [...]
Laptops need more and more power to perform more intensive tasks. Especially when you’re on the go to get your work done, it can sometimes get very heavy and tiring. Thanks to generative AI and hybrid work environments, such tasks can be handled better and better and with NVIDIA’s new 500 and 1000 RTX laptop GPUs, it should get even [...]
I’m letting my friend Aris have his say again today and would be delighted if you would also support his plans. What he’s testing is sound, but it’s really hard to make a name for yourself in this age of colorful YouTube videos and dangerous TikTok half-truths. And so today we’re sharing our reach again and I’m [...]
If the adapter (doesn’t) bend and the power supply cable collides with the side of the housing, then good advice is often expensive. Especially afterwards. It is precisely for such cases that be quiet! offers a special 90° angle cable designed to avoid this problem. Today’s test will examine what the cable can and cannot do, but I [...]
There are always those moments when you’d rather toss everything out and start from scratch. And no, it’s not about throwing things in, but rather throwing them out. So, no worries. As things grow, you quickly hit certain limits, and that’s precisely why, apart from the two articles, you’ve hardly seen anything from me this [...]
As we have tested various small systems from the AceMagic brand, among others, and have also included them in our “Mini-PC” category, there is unfortunately no way around today’s rather unpleasant report. Recently, several sites reported that viruses or malware were found on various mini PCs from AceMagic. And not [...]
Today’s article comes from our community member big-maec and it shows how the community is also keen to experiment with various pads. The article will also show that sometimes it takes a little more work to really fix a problem permanently. The user’s problem child this time was the Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Ultra W OC 8G with [...]
Yesterday I already documented in great detail and above all in practical terms the negative impact that ground loops can have in the PC and what this means for the individual ground paths. If you haven’t read this article yet, you should perhaps catch up on it quickly for a better understanding, because it explains a lot of things that [...]
Some things are accidental discoveries and are actually so trivial that nobody even bothers to question the current flows in the PC and, above all, to measure them. We only ever measure the 12-volt rails and are happy. But with connectors such as the 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 over 6+2 pin, the 8-pin EPS and the 24-pin mainboard connection, does exactly [...]
Recently at Kaufland… This is the special landing page for weighing blueberries.
Today we take a look at the current top model of an AIO water cooling system from Enermax. As the title already hinted at, a few things here and there reminded me of a very popular product from a competitor. You can find out whether this is a productive inspiration or a disappointing copy in the following review. Click here for the latest article [...]
With the CTE design, Thermaltake has tested a new approach to dissipate the waste heat from the components more efficiently. In the first iteration, however, this design led to problems with some GPU coolers, because heatpipes are little divas and are subject to the iron laws of physics. Thermaltake has now solved this problem with the E600 MX and [...]
With the FiiO EM5, I am testing earbuds today that are a little out of the ordinary. My thanks first go to the community for sending me the test sample, because the FiiO EM5 headphones are a very exciting product for audiophiles and music lovers who are looking for an exceptional listening experience. But before we dedicate ourselves to testing [...]
I’ve been officially testing monitors at Igor’sLab for almost two years now. I started out quite rudimentary with a very cheap colorimeter, the SpyderX and a mixture of DisplayCal and the SpyderX software. Everyone starts small, of course. The whole thing then developed quite quickly and we gradually upgraded and managed to get [...]
