Core renovation, stripping, plastering and painting? No, you have not made a mistake in the website! Even though it is quite offtopic, I would like to share a "small" heart project with you. In part 2, I'll show you the electrical installation, how to put on a network outlet, and what the room looked like after the renovation [...]

After we last looked at two Ultrawide monitors, we now return to the 16:9 format. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ-W takes on the test marathon. Another ROG-branded gaming monitor as far as the eye can see. The monitor comes with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and up to 170 Hz – on an IPS panel with RGB subpixel layout and 8-bit color depth. Even [...]
Today is finally the day – loyal readers won’t be surprised by this –, for Intel’s last and fastest LGA1700 CPU we also have binning data for you once more. Thanks to MIFCOM, we were able to run almost 200 chips through our testing routine again, and now you get to see the results. Plus, there’s a treat waiting for all (hobby) [...]
No, it is not a contradiction, but transparent plastic tube (usually PVC) is cheap to buy, but really expensive in follow-up costs. Who can, prefer to go for hard tubing or such nice things as EPDM or Teflon, but there are also situations where you end up torn as to what it should be. And many a person is afraid to take anything other than PVC [...]
Groundhog day, again and again. Today, I’m pushing up a classic review for you to enjoy on a cold winter Sunday, and it was a very interesting experiment. Already 12 years ago I had tested various things up to the adhesive cream for the third for their thermal conductivity. However, this time I have modified the classics a bit and included [...]
After a longer abstinence here, at least with the articles, I am now back with a small Intel ARC special. The cards have a niche existence, which is on the one hand due to the rather poor availability, especially of custom models, but also due to the rather mixed tests of the cards after their release in November, where the cards showed weaknesses [...]
Last year, we already had an Ultrawide monitor in my test. And, because that was so nice, I thought, let’s do another one right away. BenQ sends the Mobiuz EX3415R into the race to acquire the customers’ favor. A 34 inch monitor with a 1900R IPS curved display. Thus, nothing new, but the view is well worth it. BenQ calls an MSRP of 809 [...]
Although my topic has been preached by the old hands in the PC field in forums for decades and is often the approach of any solution to performance problems, the same questions keep popping up from less experienced users. I hope to reach them with this article on our professional platform and maybe there is one or the other info for everyone else [...]
The Raijintek Morpheus is currently still the most popular and above all also the most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but the compatibility was somewhat behind the current graphics card generations from NVIDIA and AMD. I got myself a final version directly from Taiwan in advance, however, this cooler (as of yesterday morning) is also [...]
In keeping with today’s date, we continue with our Intel Raptor Lake silicon lottery data today, namely with the overclockable i7 and i5 SKUs. So whether your 13th Gen chip is a winner or a loser, you can find out today, among other things. At this point, I would like to refer to the previous article on the i9 chips, since the procedure for [...]
Today for the weekend we have some light food. A few weeks ago, I switched my testing software – for my monitor tests – from DisplayCal to Portrait Displays Calman Ultimate. I had written a dedicated article on this and afterwards there was quite a tense disagreement in the forum (to put it mildly). The topic was not the Calman [...]
Core renovation, stripping, plastering and painting? No, you have not made a mistake in the website! Even if it seems at first glance richly offtopic, I would like to share a "small" heart project with you today. I turned a damp basement room into a modern office to work and test, gamble and hang out in and also documented the whole [...]
In today’s end-of-year workvlog, I’ll show you another very special build. Because even if the Lian Li o11 is now more of a mouthful than the tongue after a stair sprint to the 12th floor, it’s still not enough. Floor – with a little effort during installation, even a mass product becomes a real eye-catcher again. This [...]
Today’s article goes into detail about fan control software and a few important connection basics. The following three concrete topics will be the subject of today’s article: A small overview of various programs for fan control, a tutorial on, program FanControl and a tutorial on creating fan curves. This is a continuation of what Igor [...]
The Sharkoon Rev300 Case Review – A different design with plenty of space for a custom Water Cooling
Today is Christmas and we don’t spill the beans – we make a killing. Actually, there is only a boring case review with cheap hardware that everyone knows. Wait and see: Because you can always find true price-performance winners at Sharkoon, such as the Sharkoon Light² 200, the PureWriter RGB, the SGH50 and much more. And as I was [...]
Just in time for Christmas we have something special for you today. With the help of MIFCOM, we were allowed to bin a statistically not insignificant amount of CPUs (over 500 in total) and today we have the evaluation for you to browse through. Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs are the topic today and this time we even covered all overclockable K [...]
Does it really always have to be the fastest data medium on paper and what do older SATA devices in the form of a 2.5″ SSD or a 3.5″ hard drive perform? Do we really need the latest product pushed on us by marketing, or can it be a few levels lower? You can argue about the sense and nonsense of the products, but there are still enough [...]
You probably remember my Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headset, which simply destroyed itself in storage completely without use and which I had as article published last week. Being a sustainable person, I fixed the part today at my expense after having to wait a few days for the parts. The test will have to prove whether it was worth it – on [...]
In the meantime, I have become a convinced Ultrawide gamer myself. I’m even no longer so prejudiced against the topic of Curved. Therefore, the ASUS ROG Strix XG349C fits quite well into my test program. I can understand that Ultrawide and Curved are not for everyone. But as we all know, thinking outside the box is supposed to broaden your [...]
AMD launch was yesterday! Today’s topic is HDR (High Dynamic Range). Monitors with corresponding hardware in the form of Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) in combination with an IPS or VA panel have been around for a long time, but they are still quite expensive and only a stopgap solution in my opinion. The KTC (Key to Combat) G42P5, in turn [...]
