I have something very interesting for my readers today and I am taking over the article from my friend Usman Pirzada more or less in the original, so I have also put him as the actual author. After all, it’s his work and not mine. Surely a simple quote and the usual paraphrasing of a news story wouldn’t have been fair enough there [...]
Even before the launch of Windows 11 on October 5, it had become apparent that AMD's Ryzen processors were no longer performing as well as they used to in Winsows 10 in certain scenarios. The core allocation under Windows 11 in the scheduler showed weaknesses and also the CPU cache was no longer optionally addressed and utilized. According to [...]
A few weeks before the launch of the upcoming Alder Lake CPU generation, Intel seems to be already experimenting with new Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) manufacturing processes on Rocket Lake CPUs. Noticeable differences between a recently acquired model and a launch sample already give the first visual signs of a new manufacturing process. The [...]

The fact that often the real winners of the current misery on the graphics card market sit in the chain between the end customer and the manufacturer and not the manufacturers or chip producers are the big sellers is certainly not new, but it is always amazing (and annoying) to see with how much self-confidence the middlemen generate their markups [...]
With up to three 8-pin connectors for current high-end graphics cards, the result is a cable-connector tangle that is slowly but surely reaching the limits of what is acceptable and sensible. The old 6+2 Molex connectors in this form are now technically simply obsolete. The 12-pin Microfit connector on NVIDIA’s Founders Edition was [...]

Youtuber buildzoid, on his Actually Hardcore Overclocking channel, investigated a Twitter follower’s broken graphics card that had allegedly fallen victim to the new Amazon MMO New World. After a few hours with the graphics card, the experienced hardware guru was already able to diagnose the problem and actually bring it back to life [...]
No, I’m not an emotionless person and so I can’t sleep peacefully because of a nasty detail in Windows 11, which is not only a senseless hassle for the user by an unworldly design hipster, but which really disturbs the workflow. Meant is the trimmed taskbar without the possibility to really customize it to the requirements. Small icons [...]

We already explained that the hardness of pads is enormously important in the practical article “Rescuing a Gainward RTX 2080 Ti Phoenix GS – Replacing thermal pads correctly“. There I refer to the value defined as Shore A, which is based on a standardized measurement procedure. However, the fact is that there are different Shore [...]
The latest high-resolution images of an engineering sample of the Intel Core i9-12900K have now been leaked by Yuuki_AnS. The leaker obtained this chip, which was sold on the Chinese black market for a starting price of $700. These images give us a slightly better impression of the Intel Core i9-12900K as “ES2” (Engineering Sample 2) [...]
What does an animal do when it finds itself cornered? It bites wildly. And a larger company? It secures the supposed silverware, initiates a wave of warnings and lawsuits in order to be able to derive the greatest possible benefit from (still) valid patents. We’ll see exactly how and against whom the company is taking action (including an [...]

Looks like somebody had it pretty quick. The Portuguese retailer PCDIGA couldn’t wait for the launch of the smallest AMD graphics card with a RDNA2 chip so far, which is rumored for October 13, 2021. My thanks go to the colleagues at videocardz.com for finding it, from whom I also “stole” the idea of the slider. Because the new [...]
Intel is looking to be in the final stages of bringing the first generation of Arc graphics to market and so it is also obvious to find a nomenclature is the correct order. Because every kid needs his name, even if things like Alchemist aXXX, Battle Mage bXXX and Celestial cXXX do seem a bit thick. But there’s definitely something figurative [...]
The hallmark of the fairly inexpensive but truly recommendable Gelid GC Extreme was a slightly more viscous but very performant paste in a yellow-green labeled syringe and with a spatula that helped with spreading and made more than one generation of PC hobbyists happy. But we know it: Gelid is not a manufacturer, but a pure bottler. The advantage [...]

Currently, there are already several rumors about NVIDIA’s upgrade of the current Ampere graphics cards. And so it’s no surprise that the media community is clinging to any hint that might be aimed at it. And then came HP. Looking at the announced portfolio on the website, the manufacturer could go all out with its upcoming AIO PCs, as [...]
Windows 11 is iknocking on the door and therefore Hellm has already adapted the MorePowerTool (MPT) for you after hints from the community. This also includes the fact that all libraries have been reintegrated into the tool for safety reasons, in order to exclude possible incompatibilities from the outset. This also means that in the case of a [...]
