Actually, I only wanted to compare three of the cheapest motherboards with an X570 chipset and a Ryzen 5 3600X, but I quickly found out that in the end you read out contradictory things that are not plausible and cannot be explained with logic. Therefore today the first attempt of a cause investigation and clarification takes place, however, with [...]
Powercolor showed us the way with the Silent-BIOS, today we follow with a tutorial for everyone that is suitable for everyday use: no more BIOS flashing and no more Wattman tricks, but a comprehensible manual that is easy to implement with our free MorePowerTool...
During our test of the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT, we had already made an initial comparison to present the capabilities of AMD RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) technology, which allows image playback to be scaled up as well as in the native definition. Improved. We have also promised to examine the result more closely with an HDMI grabber, the only [...]
What is really behind the information about Thermal Design Parameter (TDP) or GPU Power and Total Board Power (TBP) and Total Graphics Power (TGP), amD and Nvidia graphics cards, and who adheres to the self-imposed specifications? Here are the answers...
How loud are the fans on the chipset coolers for the new X570 chipset really? This is a question that I have also asked myself and the reason for a deeper research into what is really at stake with the supposed wind machines.
No, it has nothing to do with computer technology, not even removed with egg-T. But I was just fed up with looking at the same nonsense all the time and time. to have to read it. At some point, even the most patient consumer of the German quality media has reached a certain limit, where one simply wants to empty one's stomach contents. At that [...]
Today you get a little insight behind the scenes of an exemplary graphics card production at PC Partner. I have simply summarized the sequences and also joined in on the schematic appropriate. A must for any tech freak!
Important preliminary remarks and setup At the beginning, of course, there was the consideration of how I should measure the whole thing as reproducibly and plausibly as possible. Do I take a mix of multiple games or just one with consistent results and a longer runtime? In the end, after many attempts, I opted for the latter, because it also [...]
I didn't want to come to the readers martial with registry hack or something like that, but it's quite annoying when you get a Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000 for testing, see the Reviewers Guide with the SPECapc for Solidworks 2017 and still get yourself manually to get a little bit of performance at all. The problem is Solidworks' internal [...]
Yes, I did it again and tested something from the stack of different pads today that fundamentally differs from the material that has already been tested before. It is a phase change pad, but this time made of lightly pressed nanopolymers and electrically non-conductive. For this purpose, it is thin enough and otherwise quite flexible to handle [...]
The country needs new benchmarks! Various games in several resolutions with the emphasis on gain by subvolts or an OC with a converted Radeon VII. We evaluate everything: Frame-Times. Percentile, variances, the smoothness of the gradient and much more than bar and curve charts as an overview or individual evaluation. There is nothing more to do [...]
The RTG (Radeon Tweaker Group) is a group of those who have already made it their mission since AMD's Polaris and later Also Vega to make some overvoltage and unnecessarily hot Radeon what one would like as an end customer: to a faster and significantly more efficient Graphics card.
If you want to do something new and right, then the effort in the preparation is often enough more than just immense. But analyses of heat generation on and the cooling performance of motherboards are to become one of our unique selling points for the upcoming reviews. How something like that can crash the weekend, I'll show you today.
It really scares me when a few pick-up clickers in the hunt for sales trophies just ignore rules and NDAs. That's why I'm posting something now. Yes, I'll just do it now. But what I'm showing you has no one else, so it doesn't even hurt anyone. I tease the fat chip a little with the needle. Curious? Then look in!
Today's tip is quite serious, because you can collect plus points with it. What you have to keep in mind, however, I tell you in a small practice video, because it shows and explains itself faster than you could describe it in many words awkwardly.
Anyone who still remembers my article about the connections between graphics card, headphone sensitivity and motherboard layout will of course also wonder how I measure all this and what technology is behind it. Since we have no secrets and the response was also very large, Frank Schmidt ("Bigreval" in the forum) and I thought about how [...]
There are always things that fall almost from heaven into your lap and at the same time also a little on the sender's feet. However, the basic rule number one is always that as an attentive observer and tester you always remain cooperative and do not simply work out your workload indifferently. Doing better instead of moaning is the best way [...]
What would the world be without the Universal Serial Bus? In any case, i do not think that the ones we know now, that is for sure. But what could you do if you want to test a TV stick because it keeps crashing? Does it draw too much power or is it due to the software? How much "juice" does my phone still have or is the battery really [...]
The firmware of the last generations of Nvidia is relatively easy to read (not only) in terms of expected power consumption and power limits with Nvidia's NVSMI tool. This is nothing new in itself, but I have written a 1-click batch file for the more inexperienced readers, which makes the tedious hanging through the directories obsololet.
One finds again and again possibilities to further improve a product that is good in itself and to punish the supposed greed of the accountants with only a few cents of material use nonchalantly. Far more than 90°C below the memory you don't have to find really nice now, but why did the dear Lord God create the so-called thermal guide pads [...]
